Today we made a dialogue for our French teacher as homework. She jokingly requested a science fiction dialogue, but we decided to take her up on it. I've put the French and English both below. This is the very edge of my french ability, so it gives a very good idea of what we've learned. (Of course, we looked up many of the conjugations from our notes, and used Word to correct our mistakes.) Naturally the story uses negation, verbs, and our new clothing vocabulary, because we're good students who want to use what we've learned (and show off some).
