Comment progresser après ce corrigé
Si tu as confondu les monuments, refais le plan de la Tamise de mémoire en plaçant chaque lieu d’ouest en est. Pour la langue, vérifie toujours si le nom qui suit est singulier ou pluriel avant de choisir there is ou there are, et garde les majuscules des noms de monuments. Enfin, entraîne-toi à présenter un lieu en trois phrases : ce que c’est, où il se trouve, pourquoi il est célèbre.
