1 while: "While" is used to introduce two clauses that happen simultaneously or a continuous action that is interrupted by another. Every morning, Jean reads the newspaper at the same time as he eats his breakfast. "While" can also be used in a similar way to "even though" and "although", for example: "While Bruno appreciated the gesture, he could not accept the prize".
2 so that: "So that", like "in order to", introduces the objective, aim or goal of an action. Obtaining a variety of perspectives is Jean's objective here: it is the reason why he chooses to read different newspapers. Another example: "I'm learning Japanese so that I can chat with my next-door neighbor, who is from Osaka".
3 Once: As a conjunction, "once" has a similar meaning to "as soon as" or "after". We are saying that after he finishes eating, Jean stops reading. Note that "once" is usually followed by a perfect tense, conjugated using "have". For example: "I usually do the washing-up once I have finished my dinner".
4 although: "Although" introduces a contrast between two ideas, and is similar in meaning to "in spite of", "despite" or "regardless of". Here, we are saying that Jean stops reading, but takes the newspaper to work (and perhaps continues reading later). Another example: "I don't normally eat cake, although I make an exception when it's someone's birthday".

Although 4 Philip has a bad cold, he will still go to the sales convention.
Every morning, Jean reads a French newspaper while 5 he eats his breakfast.
1 since: "Since" is similar to "because" or "as" in this sentence to express reason. Susie and Brian often work together on press conferences because they have good presentation skills. In the letter, Luna does not want to leave the store without a DVD because she was looking forward to watching a film that evening.
2 so that: "So that" shares the same meaning as "in order that" or "with the purpose that". Icarus needs new batteries for his calculator to finish his report, or in other words, he cannot finish his report without them. "So that" can also mean "with the result that", for example: Bob got up very late, so that he missed his bus and was late for work.
3 until: As a subordinate conjunction, "until" shares a similar meaning with "before" in negative constructions. The meeting will start after Horatio has finished his whiskey. "Until" can also mean "up to the time of", for example: Bruno walked in the rain until he was so tired he had to sit down.
4 Although: "Although" shares the same meaning as "even though", "regardless of (the fact that)" or "in spite of (the fact that)", and is usually found at the beginning of clauses. The term introduces the contrast between Phillip having a bad cold, and his decision to attend the sales conference.
5 while: "While" is used to introduce two clauses that happen simultaneously, or a continuous action that is interrupted by another. Every morning, Jean reads the newspaper at the same time as he is eating his breakfast. "While" can also be used in a similar way to "even though" and "although", for example: While Bruno appreciated the gesture, he could not accept the prize.
Exercice 4
At the moment, Hannah is:
At the moment, Hannah is:
This is incorrect. Bruno starts his second paragraph with "once she does arrive (at Delavigne)". When "once" is followed by the present tense it always refers to a future event. Therefore, we know that Hannah is not yet working at Delavigne. Note, in this sentence, "does" is used to emphasise the long delay to her arrival, though her could have simply said "Once she arrives (at Delavigne)".
If Hannah is currently in custody, it is impossible for her to be at home, or in her own house.
In the first paragraph we learn that a "legal team is negotiating for Hannah to be released from custody". To be "in custody" means to be "detained" or "confined" by the authorities. In this case Hannah is being detained by customs officials who suspect her of being a terrorist.
Bruno explains that Hannah is "having some difficulty with US customs". She is therefore in the United States and not in Britain.
Exercice 5
Jean says 'we only back up our files two times a month'.
It would be more natural to say 'we only back up our files a month'. (one term, beginning with 't').
Note that this term was not used in the dialogue!

twice: 'Twice' is the right answer here. In English, it is better to say 'twice' and not 'two times', which sounds awkward. Similarly, we usually say 'once' rather than 'one time'. Example: 'You're once, twice, three times a lady' (Lionel Richie song).
