Hello NP,
I'm trying to do the exercise, but I confess it is very difficult for me. Indeed, the characters of the video speak very
Anyway, I will
And since I found this website, I have made tremendous progress in English.

Hello everybody,
So this is my attempt. And when I read back the text, I say in myself what a disaster!! Lol, but no shame...
Here I go :
1. Now, can there be anybody in the world who has not yet been suggest by the _____ and _____ of Jane Austen. She was _born and lives in Hampshire, of course, and her house in Chawton has been popular with her fans. But the reason's spate of TV adaptations means visiting numbers are blooming and the museum badly near to expand. Danielle Glavin reports.
2. It's not just Jane Austen's writing that's _____ _____ _____ _____ _____, her home's _____ well too. Around 37,000 people snoop around rooms each year. If the museum gets _____ _____ _____ in lotery founded, visitors will see a little more.
3. This part of the house is never seen by the public. It used to be Jane Austen's kitchen. If the money's given, then this will be renovated and it will _____ _____ of the museum. And outside there'll be a new visiting center.
4. We want to do more, you know, with this plan that we've got. We're not planning to turn in _____ _____ a sort of _____ _____ -- that would be entirely wrong but we do want to be able to _____ _____ memory more and perhaps have more events and that kind of things.
5. It's the 200th anniversary of Jane moving to Chawton next year. They want the changes in place by then.
6. We have to have the lottery deal with things in their own positival _____. We put up a case to them which we believe is a good case _____, and we just hope that they _____ _____ Jane Austen again.
7. If they're unsuccessful, they say crisis management will start, the improvement will be scraped and those heeding rooms will never get to tell their own stories.
And concerning the last question, I don't know, I can't wait the correction. And please NP, don't laugh because I tried to do my best. ;o)

Hello Hanifa, Bravo! I would never laugh at your answers and I know that some parts are more difficult than others. There are three or four different accents in this video, so it's very good practice. Good for you for giving your ears a good "workout".Réponse: Jane Austen's house (écouter) de hanifa, postée le 06-12-2010 à 19:32:11 (S | E)
Hello NP,
Many thanks for your answer, I appreciate it a lot. Yes, as you said, it is a very good practice for my hearing.

Bonjour NP, bonjour à tous,
,NP, pour cet exercice de haute voltige...difficile, mais super productif si mes oreilles réussissent à s'adapter ...il faudra du temps, mais je ne désespère pas.
1. Now, can there be anybody in the world who has not yet suggested by the wits and charm of Jane Austen. She was born and lived in in Hampshire, of course, and her house in Chawton has long been popular with her fans. But therecent state of TV adaptations means visiting numbers are booming and the museum _badly needs to expand. Danielle Glavin reports.
2. It's not just Jane Austen's writing that's protected to time, her home's very well too. Around 37,000 people snoop around these rooms each year. If the museum gets half millenium in loteries panzing (?, visitors will see a little more.
3. This part of the house is never seen by the public. It used to be Jane Austen's kitchen. If the money's given, then this will be renovated and it will come part of the museum. And outside there'll be a new visiting center.
4. We want to do more, you know, with this _plan that we've got. We're not planning to _____ _____ _____ a sort of attraction that would have been terrible -- but we do want to be able to own that memory more and perhaps have more events and that kind of things.
5. It's the 200th anniversary of Jane moving to Chawton next year. They want the changes him in place by them.
6. We have to have the lottery deal with things in their own seefer (sinful) way. We put up a case to them which we believe is a very good case, and we just hope that they _____ _____ Jane Austen again.
7. If they're unsuccesful, they say crisis management will start, the improvement will be smart and those --- rooms will never get to tell their own stories.
the easiest one was the 3; the most difficult one was the 6.I'm still looking for the question..Please, NP, you ought to keep the woman speaking on part 3, she is the most comprehensible...

Hello dear Dolfine. Isn't it interesting the variety of accents in the UK? I admit that the accent in #6 was difficult, even for me, and that is why I didn't leave too many of the words blank because I knew that would be mean (un homme méchant). 
As you see, to truly understand English, you need to be able to understand a variety of different accents. Listening is the key. After British, I think we should try American, Indian English, and Australian English. Your ears will be bleeding by then, I think. 
Un jour, tu comprendras tout. J'écoute souvent les test audio en français sur le site. Je comprends exactement tous les problèmes. Souvent je ne comprends rien.-------------------

Hello notrepere
Me voilà
1. Now, can there be anybody in the world who has not yet been seduced by the wits and charm of Jane Austen. She was born and lived in Hampshire, of course, and her house in Chawton has long been popular with her fans. But the recent state of TV adaptations means visitor numbers are booming and the museum badly needs to expand. Danielle Glavin reports.
2. It's not just Jane Austen's writing that's stood the test of time, her home's fairing well too. Around 37,000 people snoop around these rooms each year. If the museum gets half a million in lottery funding, visitors will see a little more.
3. This part of the house is never seen by the public. It used to be Jane Austen's kitchen. If the money's given, then this will be renovated and it will become part of the museum. And outside there'll be a new visitor center.
4. We want to do more, you know, with this plan that we've got. We're not planning to turn into it a sort of razmataz attraction -- that would be entirely wrong -- but we do want to be able to honour her memory more and perhaps have more events and that kind of thing.
5. It's the 200th anniversary of Jane moving to Chawton next year. They want the changes in place by then.
6. We have to have the lottery deal with things in their own procedural way. We put up a case to them which we believe is a very good case, and we just hope that they can help Jane Austen again.
7. If they're unsuccessful, they say crisis >management will start, the improvements will be scrapped and those hidden rooms will never get to tell their own stories.
Question: En anglais, il y a une figure de style qui s'appelle un « redundant negative ». Quel paragraphe (1-7) dans le texte s'emploie un « redundant negative » ? The first sentence in paragraph 1 Now, can there be anybody in the world who has not yet been secduced by the wits and charm of Jane Austen I think ...
The lady's accent (in paragraph 4) reminds me Emma Thompson in The Remains Of The Day (Movie,movie)

Hello! You've all done very well but no one has answered the question correctly. I thought it would be easier and I didn't intend to make the question impossible to answer. You are right about #6 - this is what I call "marble-mouth British diction" and it's very difficult to understand all of the words because it's so fast and garbled. Listen to #6 again, especially the last two missing words. (Hint, hint)

You must be right for &6 but though I think that man doesn't say 'can help' after listening again, I don't understand clearly what he says
I'll listen to him again,later, after another nice cup of coffee.

Good morning,
What a hint, notrepere. So, let me see if I can't answer the question...Hhmmm, it would be ...We just hope that they can't help Jane Austen again (I just guess, not very certain about what I hear...).
)Well, let me rephrase..
The explanation is that Since the case is a very good case..., the negative meaning in they can't help Jane Austen again is used to emphasize the very possibility of helping her. PHEW...
Hope it won't be wrong

Well, I think it is "can't" when I listen naturally, but when I try to hear "can", I can hear that too. I have sent a message to my London contact who will at least give her opinion.

Hello un homme méchant, un triste sire, le diable
So, we all have very good laugh, triste sire
Are you happy now enjoying the cake from dear Lucile? Good news for me is you took out the question, but the "Hint,hint" is still there so my answer's not considered as a bad one, isn't it? or I might become an inventor (it's good though..)However, may I have a question regarding the first sentence Now, can there be anybody in the world who has not yet been seduced by the wits and charm of Jane Austen which I chose as the use of "redundant negative"?
Would you like to give me the explanation why it's not the one?

She was born and lived in Hampshire, of course, and her house in Chawton has long been popular with her fans. But the recent spate of TV adaptations means visitors’ numbers are booming and the museum badly needs to expend. Danielle Glavin reports.
2. It's not just Jane Austen's writing that's _____ _____ _____ _____ _____, her home's _____ well too. Around 37,000 people snoop around these rooms each year. If the museum gets half a million in lottery founding, visitors will see a little more.
3. This part of the house is never seen by the public. It used to be Jane Austen's kitchen. If the money's given, then this will be renovated and it will become part of the museum. And outside there'll be a new visitor center.
4. We want to do more, you know, with this plan that we've got. We're not planning to turn it into a sort of razzmatazz attraction -- that would be entirely wrong -- but we do want to be able to honor her memory more and perhaps have more events and that kind of thing.
5. It's the 200th anniversary of Jane moving to Chawton next year. They want the changes emplace by them _____.
6. We have to have the lottery deal with things in their own procedure way. We put up a case to them which we believe is a very good case and we just hope that they can help Jane Austen again.
7. If they're unsuccessful, they say crises management will start, the improvement will be scraped and those hidden rooms will never get to tell their own stories.

J'arrive!
Now, can there be anybody in the world who has not yet been seduced by the wit and charm of Jane Austen. She was born and lived in Hampshire, of course, and her house in Chawton has long been popular with her fans. But the recent spate of TV adaptations means visitor numbers are booming and the museum badly needs to expand.
It's (It is) not just Jane Austen's writing that's (that has) stood the test of time, her home's (home is) faring well too. Around 37,000 people snoop around these rooms each year. If the museum gets half a million in lottery funding, visitors will see a little more.
This part of the house is never seen by the public. It used to be Jane Austen's kitchen. If the money's (money is) given, then this will be renovated and it will become part of the museum. And outside there'll (there will) be a new visitor centre.
We want to do more, you know, with this plan that we've (we have) got. We're (we are) not planning to turn it into a sort of razzmatazz attraction -- that would be entirely wrong. But we do want to be able to honour her memory more and perhaps have more events and that kind of thing.
It's (It is) the 200th anniversary of Jane moving to Chawton next year. They want the changes in place by then.
We have to have the lottery deal with things in their own procedural way. We put up a case to them which we believe is a very good case, and we just hope that they can help Jane Austen again.
If they're (they are) unsuccessful, they say crisis management will start, the improvements will be scrapped and those hidden rooms will never get to tell their own stories.
Merci pour votre participation. J'espère que vous avez aimé cet exercice. La correction continuera un peu plus tard...
