1. Reading comprehension:

Le Boncoin.fr, New giant classified ad site

For 8 years, this online sales site has made it very easy to sell any type of object (a pair of shoes,
books, a car, etc.) or to offer a wide range of services (buying a house, renting an apartment for the
vacations, finding a babysitter, etc.).

Despite its dated look, the site has quickly becomeo .1 for digital sales in France. Sites such as
EBay and de particulier à particulier are very troubled by this success.

Why does the Bon Coin website work so well in France?

For 3 reasons.
Firstly, because you can find everything on lebobcoin.fr (children's clothes, furniture, villa with
garden...). Secondly, it's free: the seller doesn't have to pay anything to place an ad online. And
finally, it's simple: three clicks are all it takes to obtain a seller's number or put an item up for sale.
Every month, it attracts 12 million unique visitors. In search engines, "bon coin" is the second
most popular expression on the French-speaking web, behind Facebook.
