Exercise 1:
The first situation where Hélène needs to speak in English, is when the visitors
are British or American. Then, outside of July and August, many tourist sites
only set visits in English and in French. Since English is the International

Exercise 3:
Hélène gives few tips for anyone who would make their first presentation in
English, and those pieces of advice are: First, she says the person needs to
thoroughly prepare their presentation the way that just describes. Then, they
should make a series of notes, but they shouldn’t write down the whole
presentation or they would be tempted to read. “Someone reading a piece of
paper just looks and sounds unprofessional.” She also adds that the English
they will use, should be simple and clear. Their notes should be concise, they
must contain only the information they want to convey the group. Hélène
