Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

[crimson sinew]

That was fast. Have you already written it?

[brave lynx]

No but I had school so I was gonna see if anybody answered during my school hours

[crimson sinew]

You should post your practice first just so you don’t put people into an awkward situation when they can’t be there to help you after having promised you to do so

[brave lynx]

Alright I’ll try here but it’s only going to be a paragraph

Á mon Avis il y a beaucoup d’avantages et d’inconvénient de technologie, Un avantage c’est que on peut rester on contact avec famille qui habiter (abroad?), Aussi, on peut faire los deberes plus rapide que en la cahier.

[crimson sinew]

Aside from spelling (capitalisation etc), here's what I can see:

… un avantage c'est 'est que on (1) peut rester on en contact avec famille (2) qui habiter (3) (abroad?) (4). Aussi (5), on peut faire los deberes plus rapide que en (1) la cahier (6).
(1) Contractions are mandatory in French.
(2) Where is the article?
(3) Verb should be conjugated.
(4) WordReference is an excellent resource.
(5) « aussi » cannot start a phrase. Again, WordReference is an excellent resource.
(6) I don't know what you mean here.

In 6 I was trying to say that you can do homework faster than in a book, but I think homework isn’t deberes

Isn’t it like devenir

[crimson sinew]

That's Spanish.
The word you're looking for is « devoirs »

Like « J'ai des devoirs à faire (I have some homework to do) »

Also, « rapide » is an adjective; what you're looking for is an adverb

'You can do homework faster than in a book'? Sounds a bit off to me

[brave lynx]

It sounds right in English idk

You can do homework faster than in a book

[crimson sinew]

I can see, 'You can do homework faster [with technology] than with a book' but not in

[brave lynx]

Oh

[brave lynx]

For number 2 what does that mean

I think I said you can stay in contact with family who live abroad

[crimson sinew]

Nouns generally have articles in French

« Je voudrais du café. »
'I would like [some] coffee.
« J'aimerais de la solitude »
'I would love [some] quiet.''
« J'ai des devoirs à faire, »
'I have [some] homework to do.'

[brave lynx]

Ih

What should I have said then

[crimson sinew]

Hint: '…stay in contact with family members who live abroad…'

[brave lynx]

Oh

Would just saying family be okay

Since you can stay in contact with family

[crimson sinew]

No, needs a partitive in that case

[brave lynx]

Oh okay

[brave lynx]

So what should I have said there

If I just wanted to say family and not members

[crimson sinew]

Well you are implicitly saying family members in a way because 'family' is just one unit

but you'd still use the partitive there

'… stay in contact with some family who live abroad'

[brave lynx]

Oh okay thanks

[brave lynx]

I have my reading assessment tomorrow so do you think it would be weird if I just asked somebody for like a paragraph about mobile technology or family or smth like that

since My topics on my next round of tests are
Technology
Social media
Family and relationships
Marriage
Shopping

now I say that I realise I've never learnt marriage and shoppung

[crimson sinew]

You want someone else to write a paragraph for you? Yes, that would be weird.

[brave lynx]

Ah alright
