Activities
- Les transports en commun Prendre le bus ou le train est meilleur pour l’environnement (et le portefeuille) que conduire tous les jours, et c’est pourquoi de plus en plus de gens comptent sur les transports publics pour se rendre à la fac, ou au travail. Mais peut-on dire que les transports en commun sont bien organisés et efficaces en Australie ? Ceux qui prennent le train seraient d’accord. Les trains à Adelaide arrivent toujours à l’heure, même pendant les heures de pointe, alors c’est un moyen de transport très fiable. De plus, les horaires de train sont très bien organisés puisqu’il y a un train tous les 15 minutes en début et fin de journée. Si vous ratez le premier, vous pouvez facilement prendre le suivant. Pourtant, ceux qui prennent le bus disent que les transport publics à Adelaide sont mal organisés, et peu fiables. Les routes de bus ne sont pas pratiques en grand partie. Par exemple, un trajet de 15 minutes en voiture devient un trajet d’une heure par bus. De plus, les bus arrivent souvent en retard, particulièrement pendant les heures de pointe. D'habitude, c’est simplement gênant, mais c’est bien pire quand le bus en question est à destination d’une gare – quand il y arrive, le train est déjà parti, et du coup, vous êtes en retard au travail. Que les transports public sont bien organisés et efficaces ou non, cela dépend du moyen de transport. Dans ce cas-ci, on voit que les trains sont bien plus efficaces que les bus.August 14, 201830
- Les films policiers Quand il s’agit des films policiers, le cinéma australien fait pâle figure en comparaison du cinéma américain et français. Ici, les séries policières ne sont pas assez intéressantes pour un public australien ; la criminalité est plus fréquente aux États-Unis qu'en Australie après tout. Pour cette raison, les films policiers américans semblent plus réalistes que ceux d’Australie. En France, les thèmes de la traite des êtres humains, et la criminalité dans les banlieues inspirent très souvent les séries policières excellentes, telles que Taken et Engrenages.July 31, 201830
- "On" vs "nous" in an informal email? For my French exam, I had to write an email to a French exchange student who is coming to stay with me and my family, and I had to describe the activities we will do. Was I correct in using "on", e.g. "on te montrera les plages" instead of "nous te montrerons les plages"? I've heard "nous" is correct but rather formal and is not commonly used in informal situations, expect for emphasis and such. However, since this was a written email, not spoken French, is "on" still acceptable in an informal context, especially for an exam?November 10, 201710
- "she allowed her possessions to possess her" en français Comment on peut dire, "don't let your possessions possess you" en français? This saying is referring to materialism and consumption, and the way we sometimes allow material objects such as expensive cars and designer clothing to consume us and take over our lives. Is there a similar saying in French?May 13, 201710
Vacations
These vacations were very nice. I rested, I read, I slept late. I saw the movie "Embrace of the serpent" and it seemed great to me because it shows the complexity of indigenous culture and European culture. Despite the fact that it think that "the whites" or "the occidentals" ( pejoratives generalizations that I consider are wrong) are bad, usurpers, the movie teaches us other perspectives. Also worth saying that it has seen some wrong actuation of indigenous culture to consider all the whites as bad.
My conclusion: I think that the indigenous aren't as good and "the whites" aren't as bad.0 votedJuly 30, 20160Today is Friday
Hello!!
Well I´ll talk about my little Friday. Today, like usual, I went to work. It was very boring but my boss distracted us with some news. Afterwards, I went with my friend Lety to the gym. I also listened to Guns N´Roses. At night I went to the dentist and I didn't like it.
Well that was a little about my day. I know it was boring.0 votedJuly 23, 20160What a One-handed Pianist has Taught Me
A person, who was born without a right hand, and began to learn how to play the piano at 14 years old. He is a famous music college graduate and was the first student in his college to graduate without a right hand. The college to which he went has been established for 130 years. Now, he is a world-class pianist, who performs all over the world, with other top musicians.
How did he learn to play the piano? How can he practice his skills? How can he be a well-known pianist? Maybe there are some questions that we immediately ask ourselves. But here is what the one-handed pianist has taught me: don't always focus on the problem first, try to focus on the possibility.
As a one-handed person, he has no idea how difficult it is to play the piano with one hand. He does not have a deep-rooted notion of a piano, which must be played with two hands. He has no concept of a piano, which is designed to be played by a person who necessarily has two hands.
He just knows that, he can play a beautiful melody with his hand. He just knows that, he can play a unique song, which is only for him. He just knows that, there is nothing that can restrict him, unless he restricts himself first.
We shouldn't restrict ourselves.
(Thank you in advance for correcting my grammar mistakes. )
I fixed a few minor grammar errors and rephrased the bits highlighted in blue. Overall it was very good. :)0 votedJuly 23, 20160
