The current situation in France

The current situation in France

Most native speakers get this wrong too. :) "Media" is the plural of "medium". "The media" is a common shorter form of "the news media". However you would never say "Have you heard about it in a medium?" You would say instead "Have you heard about in from the newspaper?" or "from the TV?" "Medium" is usually only used in the singular in scientific or technical language, such as "sound passes through the medium of air".

The thing is that our Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, and his government, have passed a draft bill without worrying about the opinion of the French people. That law is very unpopular: bosses gain more privileges and employees lose some of their rights. As a matter of fact there are a lot of demonstrations. Some are peaceful, like "Nuit Debout": people just gather to talk about problems that occur and to try to find solutions. But some demonstrations are violent. There are troublemakers who break shop windows, some people hit the cops... four people even set fire to a police car while the policemen were still inside.
Now, refineries are on strike. They want to paralyze the economy by creating a petrol shortage. Many people -including me- are afraid so they go to the station to get petrol.
I don't know how long it will last. But the Prime Minister has said that he won't repeal the law.

Don't put a space on both sides of ":" or ";" like you do in French. This is correct:

Result: success

This is wrong:

Result : success
