Activities
A moment of high drama in my life (please correct)
At a nearby school someone once threatened with a bomb attack. That morning I wanted to go shopping and had to go along the street where the school was, the same road the attacker was threatening. The same morning I turned on the TV and saw a report about this incident. On the news they said that they were still looking for the assassin perpetrator and that they had no idea who it could be. Then I went shopping and walked along the street where the school was, there were journalists filming and the police were investigating. In the evening I watched the news again and the anchor woman said that the assassin perpetrator was a student at the school and that this student never intended to blow up the school. He only wanted to frighten everyone.
About this event My thoughts on this incident are as follows:I think that the schools perhaps demand too much from the students. I consider this as a cry for help. It shows that the pressure to deliver good results is too high for the students nowadays. One thing comes to leads to another: a bad family situation, pressure to perform, or perhaps even a trauma. But I do not think that it is a cry for help if someone runs amok. For me there is a difference between killing people and showing that something went is wrong.
Very Kind Regards
Lorenz0 votedMarch 29, 20132- Mon quartier J’habite dans la grande ville de Londres. Quand j’étais plus jeune, J’ai habité près du centre. Tout était proche et je n’avais jamais besoin de ma voiture, j’allais partout à pied. J’ai decidé de démenager aux banlieux pour cause des prix des immeubles au centre. Je voulais acheter un apartement et ce n’aurait jamais été possible là. Dans l’endroit où j’habite il y a beaucoup de choses qui me plaît. C’est très tranquille et on a des parcs secures oú mes enfants peuvent jours. Les parcs au centre ville sont pleins de touristes et toxicomanes. Par contre, je suis loin des magasins et je conduis souvent. Pour aller au travail je mets entre deux e trois heures par jour aller/retour dans les transports en communs et je paye presque £3000 livres par an pour cet plaisir. Cet un sujet qu’on discute souvent à Londres - les prix des immeubles au centre ville vs les prix des transports en communs!March 29, 201300
- Le événment qui a marqué le plus ma vie J'étudie le français et cette semaine je dois écrire quelquechose sur les événments qui ont marqué ma vie. Alors, j'ai decidé d'écrire quelques mots ici et j'espère que quelqu'un peut corriger mon ´franglais´ :) Je pourrais dire que l'événment qui a marqué le plus ma vie était la naissance de mes enfants. C'est vrai que quand les enfants arrivent, la vie n'est plus jamais la même. On n'a plus temps pour soi- même et tout devient une course contre la montre. Cet événment a changé ma vie pour toujours mais les événments qui l'ont marquée, viennent plutôt de mon enfance. Quand j'avais dix ans nous sommes allées vivre en Écosse. J'ai dû faire des nouvels copins et je suis devenue tout à coup l'étranger. Personne ne m'a compris pour cause de mon accent fort du sud et à l'école ils ont rigolé parce que je ne savais rien de l'histoire et de la culture de l'écosse. C'était un temps assez difficile, mais j'ai appris beaucoup de choses, surtout comment s'entendre avec les inconnus. Je pourrais écrire plus mais mon petit fils est en pleine crise de colère, alors j'arrête maintenant.February 28, 201330
My week-end in Vonnas
I would like to tell you about my week-end in Vonnas.
Vonnas is a small village in France around 120 kilemeters from Geneva.
The village is well known due to one of the best french chefs Mr Georges Blanc.
The Georges Blanc's restaurant has 3 stars in Michelin's guide. Georges is a very simple person.
His life is cooking. His grandmother, his mother were also chefs or cooks. So, Georges grew-up with a love for cooking. His father was a baker and a pastry cook, which It helped to Georges to become also a good pastry cook as well. Georges' first job was as a pastry cook. After his studies, Georges worked with his mother for 3 years. After that he continued in the family tradition and he took over the family's restaurant.
Georges was not only a very good chef/cook but he was ambitious. He continued to use his mother's recipes and later he created his own recipes. With help of Jacqueline, his wife, Georges created the space of hight level (not sure what you mean here) of french gastronomy. During his career, Georges opened 9 more restaurants and hotels, he has his own brand of wine and sausage, chocolate and sweets.
The symbol of Georges Blanc's brand is a cockerel.
Why? His speciailty is cockerel in cream's sauce.
I spent a beautiful (or fantastic/ wonderful) week-end with discovering the Georges Blanc's specialities.
