This document contains a short text about life before (in the past), with exercises consisting of 5 reading comprehension questions followed by 5 written expression questions. Here is the text:
“Comment les Français vivaient autrefois ? D’abord, il y avait plus d’agriculteurs. Ils étaient 4 000 000 (quatre millions) en 1963. Aujourd’hui, ils ne sont que 900 000 (neuf cent mille) environ. La vie d’avant était plus difficile : le lave-linge et le lave-vaisselle n’existaient pas. Les tâches ménagères étaient donc plus longues et fatigantes ! Peu de gens avaient une voiture. C’était donc moins pratique pour se déplacer. Mais il y avait des avantages : la vie était plus saine. Il y avait généralement moins de pollution et les fruits et légumes étaient naturels car il n’y avait pas de produits chimiques. Les gens étaient en meilleure forme : ils faisaient plus d’activité physique car beaucoup travaillaient en plein air ! Aujourd’hui, les gens bougent moins et cela entraîne des problèmes de santé. Eh oui ! Chaque période a ses avantages et ses inconvénients !”
This activity is intended for learners at levels A2 and B1. It can also be used with B2s to improve written expression.
An answer key is attached to the document (for comprehension questions). The document is available in PDF and DOCX

With the book “J’apprends à lire et à écrire”, you will help illiterate people to learn French.
This book was designed after my experience as a teacher of French as a foreign language (FLE). I experienced the learning difficulties of an audience that suffered from not being able to read French well. The approach adopted is intended to be progressive and “reassuring”, in particular by evoking words from everyday life.
We first insist on the recognition of simple and then complex syllables. Then, many copying exercises allow the learner to get used to the drawing and writing. Often, word prints are present so that the student is not left without a reference point.
Then come word and sentence recognition exercises. It will be a matter of making the right choice and, sometimes, filling in empty spaces.
Finally, comprehension exercises at the end of the book allow the learner to practice concrete applications of what he or she has learned (in particular with the study of the verbs ÊTRE -to be- and AVOIR -to have).
This book is ideal for people who have not yet mastered the basics of reading and writing French. It is aimed at adults and young adults (newcomers, A1.1 and A1), as well as children who need reinforcement of their skills (CP, CE1 = 1st, 2nd grade). He will provide a definite help to pass the DILF (Diplôme Initial de Langue Française).

This is suitable for young English speaking students as well as ESL students.
For this sheet, I used the Gall-Peters projection, which offers a more reliable representation of the world map (instead of the Mercator projection, which is overused but not quite accurate!).
I already used it during my courses and had a good outcome.
