ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the reader will find 600 questions mostly based on the contents of the book and testing the whole spectrum of cultural references in the French press. For the general reader, these tests can be seen as an entertaining way to check on their general knowledge about France and the French language. For the student working alone, these tests can be a useful tool for selfassessment. For the teacher, these tests can be useful in several ways. They can be used as 'entry' or upstream 'diagnostic' tests for students starting a new course, or as tests for continued assessment. They may also be used as exit tests at the end of a given course, the teacher being free to fix what he or she considers to be a 'pass' mark in the light of previous students' results.
