The texts are chosen taking into account the developed vocabulary, familiarity with scientific and technical issues in English, and subsequent comprehension. Each of these texts is therefore accompanied by vocabulary, special expressions (idioms), and comprehensionquestions.
Terminology is also used to translate certain words from English to French. Furthermore, the texts are concluded with a translation of long passages selected from the texts.
