Bonjour
Je n'ai pas validé toutes les réponses, mais il s'agit de revoir cette réponse :
B2 She's looking .............. for a new English course.
Il existe une particule qui convient.

Bonjour
B2(idée de chercher aux alentours...) et B6(jeter un oeil à) sont à revoir.
pour le C , il faut utiliser l'expression look fournie et mettre les mots en ordre:
par exemple:
je rêve, je me réjouis à l'avance à l'idée d'arriver au bout de l'examen.

Bonjour et merci,
voici ce que je propose pour B2 et B6:
B2: She's looking around for a new English course. She's not very satisfied with the one she's following at the moment.
B6: I didn't have time to read the newspaper yesterday. I only looked over it very quickly.
Pouvez-vous, s'il vous plaît, me dire rapidement si c'est correct?
Tant pis pour l'exercice C, je n'ai plus le temps, je dois y aller dans moins d'une demi-heure, et je n'ai même pas appris ni même regardé sérieusement tout mon vocabulaire nouveau !
En revanche, j'espère que tout le reste est correct !
Cordialement.
