    Short Translation of a French Press Article #9 In the aftermath of this crisis, if a museum of the great coronavirus outbreak opens, most of the world leaders, and amongst them the French president Macron, will be noted for their scantiness, their incompetence and their downplaying of the risk carried by the virus. In this "Hall of Fame", Donald Trump will probably have a special seat. Not only he didn't forestall the crisis, he denied it. Only recently he recognized the dangerosity of the virus while between one and two thousand of Americains died of this disease in only one week. Trump has set himself apart in his brief daily addresses by using an agressive and inconsistent langage and by refusing to help the most contaminated States, especially those lead by democrats.

    Historical Project

    La Suisse est un pays vraiment unique avec une histoire très intéressante. A l’origine, la Suisse était habitée par les Helvètes ou les Celtes helvétiques, le territoire qui comprenant la Suisse moderne est tombé sous la domination des Romains pendant les guerres gauloises au 1er siècle avant JC et est restée une province Romaine jusqu'au 4ème siècle après JC. Sous l'influence romaine, la population acquis un haut niveau de civilisation et un système de commerce florissant. La Suisse s'est industrialisée rapidement au XIXe siècle et, en 1850, elle est devenue le deuxième pays le plus industrialisé d'Europe, juste après la Grande-Bretagne. Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, de graves tensions se sont développées entre les parties germanophones, françaises et italophones (ou selon le sens : la partie germanophone, la partie française et la partie italophone) du pays, et la Suisse était proche de violer sa neutralité, mais a réussi à rester en dehors des hostilités. La guerre Froide a renforcé la neutralité de la Suisse et a offert au pays un moyen de sortir de son isolement diplomatique après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Sur le plan économique, la Suisse s'est intégrée à l'ordre de “l'après-guerre” qui était dirigé par les États-Unis, mais elle est restée éloignée des organes supranationaux. La Suisse est également restée à l'écart des efforts d'intégration européenne, attendant jusqu'en 1963 pour rejoindre le Conseil de l'Europe. Elle reste toujours en dehors de l'Union européenne. Au lieu de cela, la Suisse a contribué à la création de la zone européenne de libre-échange en 1960, qui n'essayait pas d'être une union politique. Après la Guerre Froide, la Suisse a rejoint l'institution de Bretton Woods en 1992, et est finalement devenue un membre des Nations Unies en 2002.
    Une grande partie de la culture en Suisse est l'art populaire. L'art populaire est maintenu dans des organisations autour du pays. En Suisse, il s'exprime principalement dans la musique, la danse, la poésie, la sculpture sur bois et la broderie. L'une des traditions communes en Suisse est que certaines nuits d'automne, les processions d'enfants avec des lanternes. Les lanternes sont sculptées à la main et sont faites de légumes-racines comme les navets, en sculptant l'intérieur et en y mettant une bougie. Ils sont sculpté avec l’inspiration du soleil traditionnel, la lune et les étoiles. Par conséquent, la lanterne est suspendue par trois chaînes. Les enfants se promènent dans les rues de leur ville avec les lanternes et chantent des chants traditionnels.

    Short Translation of a French Press Article #8 In a matter of days, Amazon endured several complaints aiming at a strict compliance of measures for its employees safety. Among them, we can outline the revelation of multiple covid-19 cases amid its employees, complaints from union and visits from labour inspection eventually followed by vigourous injunctions from the inspection to deal with the identified insufficiencies. On April 3rd, Amzon certainly faced the hardest complaint : four of its six french wharehouses have been targeted by a formal notice. (...) However, officialy, the company doesn't panick and continue to claim that its warehouse will remain open as it has ressources to ensure its employees safety. (...) But if the company has changed some of its habits, in the meantime, it also denied the legitimacy of some remarks from labour inspection.

    Short Translation of a French Press Article #7 Since early April, evoking covid-19 outbreak as a major force, Disneyland Paris has started to broadly breaks temporary contracts signed up by seasonal employees to work in the park. "We have been forced to close our parks, hotels, shops, restaurants along with Disney village and we have no visibility on the date on which we will be able to resume our activities". (.... "I have personnaly left my job to libe the Disney-magic, I have taken several commitments to draw near my new jobs", tells one of these workers. (...)

    Short Translation of a French Press Article #6 Covid-19 outbreak stopping the global economy and a price war between three of the biggest world producers namely Saudi Arabia, the United States of America and Russia : only one of both events will have been enough to engage a major fall in the oil market. But since March 7th, both adds up. (...) The fall could continue. Big oil companies are preparing to face a market where the oil barrel price could shrunk to ten dollars. Already, some countries that have their economy based on oil as Nigeria are discounting their barrel for 3 dollars a piece in hope to find customers. (...) But as demand reduces as the outbreak inscrease, this strategy appears to be inefficient.

    Short Translation of a French Press Article #5 On March 19th, the "collectif 19", which reunited more than six hundred doctors, have pressed charges to the CJR (i.e. "Cour de Justice de la République, the french court that judges members of the current government) against Agnès Buzyn (the former Minister of Health) and Edouard Philippe (the actual Prime Minister). They accuse them of "guilty negligence" and "lie of State" in their managment over the crisis of the coronavirus outbreak. For the three founding doctors of this group, the government knew about the dangers linked to the disease but didn't act soon enough and neither enact sufficient measurements. More precisely, they denounce the inadequate masks storage and the lack of systematical tests as both would have permit to isolate "asymptomatic carriers" prone to contaminate several people. "Carers are in great danger and french population as well which could have been avoided if the right decisions had been taken in right time" summarizes the group's attourney.

    Ma maison

    C'était supposé être <s>sur </s>une maison que je n'habiterais qu'une fois, mais j'ai habité dans la même maison durant toute ma vie. J’ai 17 ans et je ne suis jamais parti habiter ailleurs. Je sais que je vais devoir partir dans le futur après avoir été diplômée, et c’est un peu effrayant. Je me demande si une autre maison sera comme ma maison autant que cette maison <s>fait</s> (Je me demande si je me sentirai chez moi dans une nouvelle maison comme c'est le cas dans celle ci).

    Ma maison est vieille. Pas ancienne, mais la maison est quand même vieille. La maison est sur la propriété de mes grands-parents, ma famille louait à mes grands-parents depuis de nombreuses années. Elle est jaune avec un toit vert. Même après les rénovations de la salle de bain, après avoir peint les murs et installé de nouveaux sols, ce n’est pas la plus jolie maison. Mais ce sera toujours ma maison, même une fois ma famille partie.

    Corrigez mon texte, s’il vous plaît. Merci :)

    Félicitation !

    Short Translation of a French Press Article #4 Regarding cynicism, Benjamin Netanyahou has no opponent. In the middle of a critical political crisis, he doesn't hesitate to use the combat against coronavirus outbreak in order to keep power, but also to escape his country justice. And being the leader of a government with an arguable democratic legitimacy won't stop him. Even if its time as political leader of more than thirteen years has outreached the historical one of Ben Gourion, his election at the lead of this government only date back from May 2015. Trapped by his own political scheme, he has been unable of acquiring the majority needed to ensure his immunity. During the last three legislative elections that occured in less than a year, he didin't get the Knesset vote. Since fifteen months, he is an interim Prime minister leading a gouvernment that only deal with current affairs.

    Short Translation of a French Press Article #3 "The problem is not the bat, the problem lie upstream : it's the destruction of natural habitat and the non-compliance with their biodiversity" indicates Jean-François Guégan. And this core root, we find it in each disease outbreak : the growth of human population has led to irreversible changes on ecosystems. "The seek for new farming land has caused these last decades a massive deforestation which has changed natural balances explains this researcher working for the INRAE in Montpelier. "Humans are now exposed to micro-organisms driven by animals that they wouldn't encounter before or that they started to eat or to use for some parts of their body which is the case for pangolins". "Yet it's when they navigate from an animal to humans that these micro-organisms become pathological for humans, more by circumstances than by necessity, explained professor Charles Nicolle, (...) each time humans have started destroying ecosystems for the growth of his agriculture, he then was exposed to new micro-organisms never encoutered before".
