    Let's suggest 99/ Taking it easy 45
    Message de here4u posté le 16-12-2025 à 22:15:26 (S | E | F)
    Hello dears,

    Another easy exercice that everyone can do! Let's write together...

    Comme l'Expression libre est la compétence la plus difficile à bien acquérir dans l'apprentissage d'une langue, il nous faut nous y entraîner, même si c'est notre langue maternelle, d'ailleurs...

    Certains m'avaient dit être gênés d'exprimer des idées personnelles ( - ils avaient l'impression - souvent fausse - de les exprimer maladroitement ) Vous savez que je ne vous demande pas de " raconter votre vie " si vous ne le désirez pas... Je souhaite juste vous voir vous exprimer sur tout sujet aussi " librement " que possible.
    De plus, je pense que vous aurez maintenant compris que pour moi, toute expression, même maladroite, est intéressante et a de la valeur. Elle nous stimule tous à " trouver mieux " !

    Voici les questions auxquelles vous pourrez répondre :

    1) People are becoming more and more individualistic...

    2) Do you like detective stories? Why or why not?

    3) With the Internet, you'll never be lonely again...

    Vous pouvez répondre à 1 ou 2 questions au choix ? en notant bien les références - et développer celle(s) que vous voulez, jusqu'à atteindre en tout un maximum d'environ 150 mots.

    Envoyez-moi vos réponses en mp et je publierai une première série que vous 'corrigerez' (en bleu d'abord pendant deux jours) puis en vert? Une fois le premier texte corrigé au mieux, je publierai ensuite la deuxième série... (sans changements donc ! ) Vous gagnez de la liberté (celle de ne pas parler de plusieurs sujets, ceux qui ne vous " inspirent pas "... Vous écrivez la longueur que vous voulez, vous pouvez choisir d'inventer, de plaisanter, ou de répondre avec sérieux... Nous vous suivrons !

    Cet exercice sera pour vous un ou en fonction de la qualité de vos écrits et des difficultés (surmontées) dans la prestation...

    Cet exercice sera corrigé le dimanche 28 décembre 2025 ! Go for it! with THE FORCE.

    Hello dears,

    We have an answer to the tricky questions I asked you!

    ANSWER A: Topic 1: People are becoming more and more individualistic... Please, indicate possible mistakes and underline what looks clumsy...

    It is true that despite all means of communication, people are increasingly isolated and disconnected from their surroundings. It is not uncommon to see four people sitting together and each with their smartphone and no one talking to the other
    Education, new technologies have made people more self-sufficient.
    Urbanization also isolates people. We live in tall buildings or houses surrounded by high walls and we do not know our neighbours.
    The new customs have changed society: divorces, blended families, working women give more independence to everyone.
    Personal success seems to have become more important than association life.
    However, social ties remain the factor of well-being. We note that when solidarity is called upon, people respond present and mobilise. In case of major disasters or misfortune, the populations help themselves.

    Thanks for your help!

    2) Do you like detective stories? Why or why not?

    I like detective stories because I like to search the assassin and to understand why he or she killed someone. I like to see the assassin reaction when he or she committed the crime and at the moment he or she unmasked. Sometimes the crime is simple but sometimes the crime are complex. I find that detective stories are very interesting. The assassin often had a lot of imagination.
    There stories keep in suspense. Reads don't want to finish detective stories quickly because there are actions. I prefer to read books because it work the brain and the imagination to create the scene in the head. It permise to imagine murders and corpses for the non sensitive person for those who really like this kind. I find this stories funny.
    I hate nothing detective stories.
    To conclude, if you would like to pass a good moment, think to read detective stories. Good reading.

    - OK pour 'murderer, 'assassin' est plutôt réservé aux meurtres de personnages publics - et encore. 'Killer' est plus neutre.

I like to see killers' reaction when they are committing the crimes and the moment when they are unmasked. Sometimes the crime is simple but sometimes the crime is complex. I find that the detective stories are very interesting. The criminal often has a lot of imagination.
    These stories are suspenseful. Readers don't want to finish detective stories quickly because the actions are thrilling. I prefer reading a book because it works my brain and my imagination to create the scene in my mind.
    For people who really like this kind of stories, books enable to imagine murders and corpses. But you must not be too sensitive.

    It is true that, despite all means of communication, people are increasingly isolated and disconnected from their surroundings. It is not uncommon to see four people sitting together, each person with their smartphone no one talking to the other three.
    Education and the new technologies have made people more self-sufficient.
    Urbanisation also isolates people. We live in tall buildings or houses surrounded by high walls and we do not know our neighbours.
    The new customs have changed society: divorces, blended families, working women give more independence to everyone.
    Personal success seems to have become more important than associative life.
    However, social ties remain the factor of well-being. We note that, when solidarity is called upon, people respond present and mobilise. In case of major disasters or bad luck, people help each other.
