This Revision Bite will give you practice in listening to and understanding French conversation on the topic of travel and transport.

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.

la première fois - the first time

plutôt cher - rather expensive

assez rapide - fairly quick

à l'autre bout de la ville - at the other end of town

c'était plus pratique - it was more convenient

la dernière fois - the last time
