Excellent work Lucie. Be careful with words like "information" and "research" which are uncountable in English and do not need s for plural. Try to watch the movie "Once" and we can talk about it next time.Well done. Conor

    What you will expect when travelling in France. Everyone knows french stereotypes like the famous "baguette", red wine or Paris "the beautiful city of love" but do you really know how France in reality is ? Let me take you over some misconceptions and unveil the reality of a country that is going bad days after days. French people are not as much welcome as you may think. Coldness is what they are the best for and welcoming foreigners is something that most of french people are actually scared of. As the english level is bad because of an unefficient school system and massive judgements from students upon the others, people basically do not dare speak up or trying to speak in english and avoid you that is why they look so cold in the eyes of tourists or international workers/students. There is a huge laxity from the french police which means you will never feel in security. In fact, big french cities are filled with massive robberies, drugs trafficking in dark areas and many uncivilised behaviors on all means of transports: people spit on the floor, throw cigarettes, garbages everywhere, push the others to get on the mtr or bus and so on. French people are also very intolerant, you can be insulted or criticised for free because of your differences in the way you dress or speak. Racial and sexual orientation discriminations are very present. Their sense of humour is kind of disrespectful, they will consider as normal when it is about using people culture and background to make fun of it which sound more like racism to me or criticizing and looking down on anyone who would be different. They also have a particular mentality which consist in considering smoking as a trend", a "cool attitude" that explains the huge amount of people who smoke in the streets. Unruly French people are lazy, very negative and pessimistic, they complain all the time and go on strike very often. Don't be shocked if you will have to face with so many issues from the transport network, it will only because of their complains about little issues resulting in many demonstrations. They have a beautiful culture but their attitude and the way they consider human relations is inhuman.

    Write about learning a language I am currently learning English which is a language I am in love with. However it was at the beginning something that I hated a lot and learning English was more like a very tough chore than a leisure. I absolutely did not know how to improve my language skills and was always stuck on the way teachers at school taught us English by actually using unefficient ways of teaching. They would immediately start with grammar and were absolutely not focused on oral speaking and oral comprehension. As a result, my very bad English level never changed for seven years and I had a very bad pronunciation as well as the unability to build a very simple English sentence. In my High School last year, I decided to get rid of the school system and how badly teachers would teach English and I started to learn English on my own. I began to watch Youtube videos in English with subtitles, listen to more English music, basically I was doing everything in English and it helped me to progressively get more confidence. Since then, I have never stoped working on the language by first training the oral comprehension, then the oral speaking and eventually the writting. Now I'm still working on my English skills in my spare time and I don't take it anymore as a chore but as leisure.

    I think there is a lack of confidence from people who do not like their physical beauty. Our current society absolutely does not help unconfident people as plastic surgery is abusively promoted everywhere and people are getting more and more rude and intolerant with the others. We should accept ourselves the way we are because we are all unique and we should not change our nature by depending on the way people may look at us.  I also think there are two types of surgery: remedial surgery which is a good thing and platic surgery not a good one.

    I think that when we grow up, life gets harder and we lose hope and we stop believing in our dreams.

    Write about a travel experience I am going to talk about my travel in the USA. Two years ago I went to New York city in order to attend my female cousin's wedding. The wedding was amazing so was the travel. I was part of two tourist groups in New York city and Denver. There were two bus that drove my family and I throughout ten different american states. We therefore saw many main american monuments or important places like the Niagar falls, the Yellow stone park, the Red Rock Park, the Mount Rushmore and so on. We also went to two prestigious american universties: Harvard and Yale University and we visited different museums. All was so impressing, cars are bigger than european's, american people from multicultural cities are very friendly and welcoming, basically it was a very good time and I want to continue travelling as much as I can and explore the world !
