Merci Sarah. Tes mots me vont droit au cœur. Au fil de nos sessions, j’ai pu noter que le vocabulaire revient petit à petit et que tu arrives à t’exprimer plus aisément en français. Il y a du progrès, continue comme ça !

    Start again (practising conditionals)

    When I feel tired of working I usually think “If I won the lottery, I would travel to an exotic country and I would live by selling handmade jewellery”. Sometimes my friends and I speak about this kind of thoughts and ask ourselves this question: if we started again what would we do?

    Answering this question I think that if I had done another career, I would have chosen psychology because I like understanding people's behaviour and listening people's stories. However, being a psychologist is something I can get in the future. (I am not sure what you mean by this sentence, do you mean that being a psychologist is something you can become in the future)

    Often if I think about these questions I feel sad because maybe I didn’t choose the right thing in the past, if I had thought better (if I had known better sounds more natural) I would have been a great psychologist now. I usually promise myself that I will change this situation one day. I’m sure that If I can save money I’ll study psychology.

    We can change our lives and we don’t need to be slaves of our past decisions, if we remember that we can be happy.

    Un rêve brisé. Je ne pense pas que c’est un rêve brisé. Mais je pense que certaines personnes commencent à se réveiller. Parfois les égoïsmes nationaux peuvent être en conflit avec l’Union Européenne. Il est à l'opposé du message de l'Europe qui consiste à dire « ensemble, on est plus forts. On peut voir de plus en plus eurosceptiques. Les partis nationalistes l'exploitant par rendre coupable de tous les problèmes et nos maux comme le chômage, les inégalités. J’aime particulièrement le droit de travailler librement dans un autre pay. Je pense que c'est une idée merveilleuse cependant selon le rapport de la Banque d'Angleterre, environ 0,5 pour cent de la chute des salaires est le résultat de la baisse des salaires des immigrants, qui a entraîné une baisse du salaire moyen des travailleurs peu qualifiés. Parce qu'il y a plus de concurrence, les employeurs peuvent donc payer des salaires plus bas. J'ai un ami. Elle est née et a grandi en Angleterre et elle ne s'est jamais rendue en Europe. Pour les gens comme elle, L'UE n'a pas d'impact formidable sur leur vie et les bénéfices de L'UE ne l'enrichissent pas vraiment. Je crois au rêve.. Mais je dois admettre que pour certaines- je me demande si L’UE contribue à améliorer leur vie. Le rêve n'est pas terminé. Il n'y avait pas de référendum sur la question de savoir si la France devait quitter l'UE. C'est une victoire pour l'UE. Cependant, pour certains, ce rêve commence à devenir un cauchemar.

    Good experience in countryside,please correct if there are any mistakes, thank you

    Speaking of the experience in countryside, I would like to talk about a time when I spent a Spring Festival living in the countryside with my family in 2008. Since my uncle lived there, we stayed at his house at that time. It’s a small town which was half an hour drive away from my city.
    As Chinese traditional custom, we got up early and wished each other a Happy New Year. Then we planned to climb the mountain, even though I had been there for several times, since it snowed in that year, which is quite uncommon in south of China, I was thrilled about the upcoming climbing. In the morning, I climbed the mountain with my parents. With snow covered and glowing, the mountain was particularly wonderful. It was not pretty high so we reached at the top of this mountain soon, where I overlooked the small town. After lunch my Aunt invited us to hang around in her vegetable farm and picked whatever I like for dinner.

    That was my first time understanding what vegetables look like such as peanuts and potatoes. (I am not sure what you mean by this sentence)


    Frankly speaking, I was born and grew up in the city, but I do like to spend my leisure time in the countryside and enjoy a different kind of environment and vibe. In modern society, a dramatically increasing number of cars have unavoidably caused a large number of automobile exhausts, which affects citizens’ living standards. For example, people have to wear breathing masks when they go out. By contrast, residents in countryside can share and enjoy a cleaner environment.

    Essay to correct. Advantages and disadvantages of becoming a celebrity

    Nowadays, the benefits of becoming a famous person is a widely discussed  topic . Everybody knows that when you become a celebrity your life changes but (if you use a connective then you don't need to use a comma) how does it do?

    On the one hand, if you are a celebrity you probably earn very much a lot of money so some of your dreams will became come true. For example having a beautiful house, travelling around the world... Moreover it's beautiful knowing that lots of people love and admire you.

    On the other hand, celebrities have a lot of troubles. For example they miss being alone in the street, without cameras, without paparazzi. What's more they usually don't know when somebody loves them or just loves their lives, their fame.

    As far as I'm concerned I'm happy having a simple life, I know that my family and friends love me and they are enough so I wouldn't like to be famous.

    The ambiguity

    I'm tired of waiting for my husband and I went to make tea. Searching for jams,  I`m thought to myself, "Where is my honey?".  Meaning my love or sweetness?

    (I really liked it. It was a sweet short piece. I like the ambiguity in the statement.)

    Boring life: the importance of surprise in everyday living

    "Fight is against boredom." I thought some moths months ago...

    I mean, what makes a day a little bit different? Moreover, why does do we want a day to be "a little bit different"? It's pretty clear that we are looking for a surprise in our everyday living: we all watch our Netflix series specting expecting for something different to happen, we all hope for the day for something risky and surprising to come from that special person, making everything a little bit more special.  We all dream with  for the day that we end up finish college and start working with new staff, meet some new people and be in new environments. "Seasoning" of life is intimately related to surprise. Can we, instead of being specting expecting for something to happen, be the cause of some surprise?

    Or maybe just change our attitude into some highly efficient detector of everyday surprising things in life and people around us? (I don't quite understand what it is that you are trying to say in this sentence).

    (I really liked reading this. I completely agree with your approach not just waiting for something exciting or surprising to happen but instead actively work to create that excitement in our lives. Apart from a few grammatically and spelling mistakes, it was well-written)

    Une traduction d'une histoire Il y a une fêlure dans la fenêtre que quand les stores sont intitulés fermés, envoie un ensemble de veines grises sur les lamelles de couleur crème. Des rayons de soleil battent/frappent pour entrer. Ils tardent/ont l’envie de verser/couler sur lui dans son lit de même que la lumière à travers les portes du balcon coule sur le tapis dans de longs rectangles, leur arêtes recourant à la chaise de bureau. Hugo s’assied, sa colonne vertébrale rigide. La lumière du matin fait qu'il se déplace de sa chambre "Que se passe-t-il?" (Sorry for the terrible translation. The original text is quite poetic which made it even more difficult to translate) This is the original text There’s a crack in the window that, when the blinds are tilted shut, sends a set of gray veins over the cream-colored slats. Sunbeams pound on the glass to get in. They long to pour over him in his bed the same way the light through the balcony doors pours over the carpet in long rectangles, their edges creeping up the rolling desk chair. Kei sits up, his spine rigid. He feels cheated for waking up fifteen minutes before his alarm. The morning sunlight drives him from his bedroom. “What in the hell?”

    There are videos online on YouTube that can help you e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuB1IdOqOM4

    You could consider spending a long period of time in England and you will naturally adopt the accent. Or get an accent coach. Keep in mind that even Americans whom English is their native language struggle to master a convincing British accent. But good luck.
