Useful vocabulary
Most of the vocabulary in this unit is fairly straightforward and easy to remember such as types of transport and leisure activities. What you need to score the highest marks is to understand the opinions about the different transport and express them as advantages ('avantages') and disadvantages ('inconvénients'). You will find this much easier if you understand the vocabulary for expressing opinions and comparing things.
