Why is l'imparfait used here instead of le passé composé?

« Si le problème se révélait être plus grave... »

Also, is it correct to say "des tiges métalliques" here?

« ...avec des barres métalliques. »

why does "en bon etat" not agree with the feminine house?

In the first sentence "... dont je vous ai parlés ...", why does parlés have an S at the end? There is no agreement required here, is there?

For me, the hint for "le robinet" showed up the slide after that part of the conversation.

Est- ce qu'on dit " Je voudrais te raconter une expérience que j'ai vécue" ou "Je voulais te raconter une expérience que j'ai vécue 

"je construisais des modèles de sa fusée".

Why modèles  ? Isn't maquette the appropriate word for this type of model ?

Marie likes to go on vacation in France.  Generally she rents a house in teh country.  This morning, she walked into the village to buy some fruits and vegetables.  and to discuss (chat?) with her neighbors.  She also passes a bakery and she buys a  warm baguette and some croissants for her breakfast.  In the afternoon she will walk in the country, or she will explore the area.  Smetimes she makes a good tart with some fruits and she invites her friends for a snack. This is a very relaxing vacation!

How's that for A0 level?  

If ce qui/ ce que is supposed to be used to refer to a part of a sentence/ an idea, instead of just a single word, then why does this sentence use ce que?:

"C'est tout ce que j'ai dit"

I know that 'tout' could be considered a general idea, but why is ce que not used in this sentence, when 'quelque chose' is also a general idea?:

"C'est quelque chose que j'ai dit"

Would it be possible to re-listen at the original speed of the announcer?

I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused: 

For "Aline hung big balloons everywhere"  , The answer was given as, "Aline a accroché des gros ballons partout". I actually happened to get it right, but doesn't 'des' before an adjective modifying a noun turn into a 'de'?
