Prendre le goûter vs une petite pause

Question

Could you use "une petite pause" instead of "Prendre le goûter ?

Accepted Answer

Hi Stephen, 
This is a dictation exercise so all you have to do is write down what you hear.
There are plenty of other writing exercises where you can input some suggestions.
In this case, it wouldn't work anyway as -
une petite pause = a little pause 
'prendre le goûter' is a specific meal aimed at children
 Bonne Continuation!

Answer

Hi Stephen,
No! I don't think so   --  "le goûter" is a snack type meal that the school children have on returning home at the end of the school day (normally afternoon time).
I haven't carried out the exercise but I understand it to be about a sort of ski school?
Hope this helps  --  if not, post again and we will try to help further.
