Hello dears,

Another easy exercice that everyone can do! Let's write together...

Comme l'Expression libre est la compétence la plus difficile à bien acquérir dans l'apprentissage d'une langue, il nous faut nous y entraîner, même si c'est notre langue maternelle, d'ailleurs...

Certains m’avaient dit être gênés d’exprimer des idées personnelles ( - ils avaient l’impression – souvent fausse – de les exprimer maladroitement ) Vous savez que je ne vous demande pas de " raconter votre vie " si vous ne le désirez pas... Je souhaite juste vous voir vous exprimer sur tout sujet aussi " librement " que possible.
De plus, je pense que vous aurez maintenant compris que pour moi, toute expression, même maladroite, est intéressante et a de la valeur. Elle nous stimule tous à " trouver mieux " !

Voici les questions auxquelles vous pourrez répondre :

1) Are there 'things' that make you very angry?

2) 'Everybody steals if they're given the opportunity...'

3) Do you still think books are important, or do you prefer 'audio books'?


Vous pouvez répondre à 1 ou 2 questions au choix – en notant bien les références - et développer celle(s) que vous voulez, jusqu’à atteindre en tout un maximum d’environ 150 mots.

Envoyez-moi vos réponses en mp et je publierai une première série que vous 'corrigerez' (en bleu d’abord pendant deux jours) puis en vert… Une fois le premier texte corrigé au mieux, je publierai ensuite la deuxième série... (sans changements donc ! ) Vous gagnez de la liberté (celle de ne pas parler de plusieurs sujets, ceux qui ne vous " inspirent pas "... Vous écrivez la longueur que vous voulez, vous pouvez choisir d'inventer, de plaisanter, ou de répondre avec sérieux... Nous vous suivrons !

Cet exercice sera pour vous un ou en fonction de la qualité de vos écrits et des difficultés (surmontées) dans la prestation...

Cet exercice sera corrigé le vendredi 28 novembre 2025 ! Go for it! with THE FORCE.

Hello dears,

A fast worker sent us this essay!

ANSWER A: TOPIC3: Books or audiobooks?

Audio books are useful if you have bad eyesight and also very appreciable for the study of a foreign language, because with audiobooks you can hear the pronunciation. The problem with this type of technology is that it requires a disc player, which is yet another device to carry around and consumes electricity. It is another electronic device that I find very difficult to use.
So I prefer classic paper books, which I can take with me everywhere more easily. Although I don't have sound with a classic book, I can see the spelling, which is also useful. And poor eyesight people can find a large choice of large print books.

In my opinion, with no hesitation: yes! books are still important.

for your help!

Hello!

ANSWER A: TOPIC3: Books or audiobooks?

Audiobook in one word seems to be the usual spelling, although my spell checker doesn't accept it.

Audio books are useful if you have bad eyesight and also very appreciable for the study of a foreign language, because with audiobooks you can hear the pronunciation. The problem with this type of technology is that it requires a disc player, which is yet another device to carry around and consumes electricity. It is another electronic device that I find very difficult to use. It would be great to connect the last two sentences and avoid repeating "another device".
So I prefer classic paper books, which I can take with me everywhere more easily. Although I don't have sound with a classic book, I can see the spelling, which is also useful. And poor eyesight people can find a large choice of large print books.

In my opinion, with no hesitation (not really a sentence): yes! books are still important.

Hello dears,

Here is ANSWER 2: please, indicate possible mistakes and underline what is clumsy.

I think that topics 1 and 2 are very interesting, but are very much more difficult that 3...
I am lover of books. Audio books must be used by blind people (it's much quicker and easier), but are only for lazy sighted people. When I read a real book, I have a pen and write my remarks or the echos of passed passages. I think reading is and must be active. I also take notes on books I read. It helps me remembering the books. The other writer said that we can learn the spelling: it is very difficult in English and French. My memories are visual. I must see a word, and write it one or two times to remember. Of course, when I read in the bus or in trains, I just mark the word with my pen and get back to the marked words when I am at home. Books are my friends. I read them, keep them, and often read them again. Down with audio book, they need electricity.

for your work and for your help.

I am a lover of books. Audio books must (why "must"?) can be used non only by blind people (it's much quicker and easier (than what? do you mean the Braille alphabet?), but are only for (I don't understand this "only for") but also by lazy-sighted (colloquial) people (or people with a "lazy eye") . When I am reading a real book, I have a pen and write my remarks or the echoes* of passed passages. I think reading is and must be active. I also take notes on books I read. It helps me (to) remember them. The other writer said that we can learn the spelling: it is very difficult in English and French. My memories are visual. I must see a word, and write it once or twice to remember it. Of course, when I am reading in the bus or in trains, I just mark the word with my pen and get back to the marked words when I am at home. Books are my friends. I read them, keep them, and often read them again. Down with audio books, they need electricity.

* What are exactly "echoes" ? Remembrances? Reminiscences? Quotations?
