Hi, your vocabulary list is in general very good. Perhaps, you could change the word benign for a word that is more complicated. Also, you could try to lined up what you wrote in the French translation and definition so it would be more esthetic.
RépondreSupprimerThank you for your comments Noémie. I will definitely adjust my post so it will be more aesthetic. Also, thank you for you recommandation, it is true that the word benign is pretty easy. I could definitely look for a more complicated one.
