ANSWER KEY TO TEXTBOOK/MODULE EXERCISES

Info-culture: Passe d’abord ton bac! (p. 16)

Les lycées/high schools Aux États-Unis En FranceQualifiying exams/proficiency tests

the baccalauréat (more commonly referred to as the bac) – this is a demanding test taken at the end of lycée and has different versions for different specialties.

Grading scale used Out of a high score of 20, a student must score at least 10 out of 20 on the bac. Those who score 8 out of 20 are given a second chance and are allowed to take an oral exam. Students who score less than 8 out of 20 are required to repeat the last year of high school and retake the exam at the end of that year.

Special academic tracks

There are three basic types of the bac: général, technologique (for students of science and technology), and professionnel (for students who are learning a trade). The


bac général is further subdivided into 3 types: le bac L, for students of literature; le bac S, for students of science, and le bac ES, for students of economics and social studies.

Info-culture: Et après le bac? (p. 32)

1. One institution of higher education in France is the institut universitaire de technologie. Here, students can specialize in general and technical studies in a 2-year course of study with the goal of receiving a D.U.T. (diplôme universitaire de technologie). A second type is the université, of which there are 71 in France. It is possible to study law, medicine, or arts and sciences. The D.E.U.G (see #2) is the result of a 2-year program of study, after which a student can choose to continue studying in order to receive the licence or maîtrise. Finally, the grandes écoles are the most prestigious schools of higher education in France. The majority of France’s political, financial, and educational leaders have graduated from a grande école. A student should have preferably passed the bac with honors in order to enter one of these institutions. Entrance exams are required before entering, before which it is necessary to take 2 years of preparatory classes. The areas of study that a student can pursue are government and diplomacy, education, business, engineering, arts, or national defense.

2. D.E.U.G., which stands for Diplôme d’études universitaires générales, is a degree that a student will receive after completing 2 years of study at one of France’s universités.

3. The cost of higher education in a French université comprises the following expenditures: 150 euros in tuition, 10 euros in library and medical fees, 175 euros in health insurance, 115 euros per month (approximately) for housing, and 2.50 euros per day (approximately) for meals. Tuition in France is significantly lower than in the United States, which jumps ever higher each year. American students, however, are not required to purchase health insurance and pay library and medical fees (although there are other fees that U.S. students must pay).

4. Grandes écoles are much more selective than the universités. It is recommended that a potential student have passed the bac with honors. A student must take 2 years of preparatory classes before taking a highly competitive entrance exam. The universités only require that a student have passed the bac before being accepted. Also, grandes écoles comprise a number of different schools in which it is possible to study areas that are not offered by the universités, such as national defense and government and diplomacy.

Avez-vous compris? questions for Chez nous: en Suisse (p. 37)

1. C’est faux. On parle français dans l’ouest de la Suisse.2. C’est faux. On parle italien dans le sud.3. C’est faux. Il y a 23 cantons indépendants en Suisse.


4. C’est vrai.5. C’est vrai.6. C’est faux. Berne est la capitale de la Suisse.

Is there a skill you want to practice more or a study strategy that you might like to try out? Write down some ideas in the space below or on a separate piece of paper.

LES PROFESSIONS (f.)assistant(e) social(e) social worker


avocat(e) lawyercommerçant(e) merchant comptable (m. & f.) accountantinformaticien(ne) computer scientistingénieur engineer — Note: this word, like professeur, is always grammatically masculine, regardless of whether the engineer in question is a man or a woman.instituteur / institutrice elementary school teacherprofesseur(e) des écoles elementary school teacher (this is a new term)journaliste (m. & f.) journalistmédecin doctor—Note: this word is always grammatically masculine, regardless of whether the doctor in question is a man or a woman.psychologue (m. & f.) psychologisttechnicien(ne) technicianvendeur / vendeuse salesperson

Note: Most professions have distinct masculine and feminine forms, however there are several professions which in the French of France are exclusively masculine (see ingénieur and médecin, above). You will occasionally see the forms femme ingénieur and femme professeur (for example) if one wishes to designate that the person exercising this profession is a woman. In Canada they have adopted the forms ingénieure and professeure (since the word médecine is already used to mean the field of medicine, for a woman doctor they use docteure). This is an interesting contrast from the current practice in the U.S. of abandoning gender-specific terms in favor of gender-neutral ones. It should be noted, however, that these terms are not considered standard in France.

Réponses - Chapitre 3

Info-culture: La famille française (pp. 88-89)

Family structure French couples are having fewer children and are getting married later in life. Unmarried couples, single-parent families, and same-sex couples are becoming more common. Unmarried heterosexual and homosexual couples have the same rights as married couples in France. Divorces are becoming more frequent.

Parent-child relations The French family carries an emotional role as a place for sharing and belonging among parents and children. Mealtimes are an important time for bringing family members together. Most teenagers say that they have good relationships with their parents. Young people tend to share their parents’ viewpoints on topics such as politics and religion. More and more people


aged 20 to 30 continue to live with their parents due to high unemployment, the cost of living, and the fact that children stay in school longer.

The role of the state The French government has a long tradition of actively supporting the family. Special monetary allocations are paid to families. Women are entitled to a maternity leave of up to 16 weeks, receive 80% of their salary while on leave, and are guaranteed their job at the end of their maternity leave. Fathers are also entitled time off from work upon the birth of a child. Government-subsidized and controlled daycare centers are readily available for working parents.
