Les niveaux de connaissance en langue ont été classés et définis par le Conseil de l'Europe. Cette norme européenne, appelée cadre européen commun de référence, est acceptée et reconnue dans tous les pays de l'Union Européenne. Elle détermine précisément les compétences que doit posséder l'apprenant pour communiquer dans certains contextes.
Clocks in Britain and throughout most of Europe are put back one hour on the last Saturday of October marking the end of summer time. This means that we have an extra hour of daylight in the mornings but darker evenings. The changing the clock ritual is reversed at the end of March when the clocks are put forward an hour and we go into summer time.
What is the purpose of it? Most people don’t know. It was first invented in 1784 by American politician Benjamin Franklin. He noticed that people were wasting daylight hours on summer mornings by lying in bed. Back in the 1970s it was seen as a good way to save energy in offices and factories. But with shorter working days this argument does not seem very convincing. In fact, it seems that changing the clock has become a tradition which no-one really controls. We do it because we always have done it.
