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 ). Dautre part, 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) Do you believe in Destiny?
2) Who is your favourite actor? Tell us why you admire him.
3) Do you feel threatened by computers?
Vous pouvez répondre à 1 ou 2 questions au choix en mp 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, sans donner 'votre solution') 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 vendredi 28 mars 2026 ! Go for it! with THE FORCE.

Hello dears,
Here's our first ANSWER:
ANSWER A: Topic 3:
Do you feel threatened by computers?
I don't just feel threatened, but tied up by the computer. We can no longer do anything without this device. When we need a birth certificate, we have to ask on the internet. We can no longer even make a money transfer to the bank counter, we have to go on the computer. We have our whole life on the computer and malicious people can follow us and take our identity. We receive harmless emails, we click on a link believing to be on our banking site and here is a hakker introduced on our site and we are robbed and exposed...
In addition, after 3 years, our device become obsolete or out of service and we need to buy another one. Softwares are constantly changed, or updated and we will not find anything in the same place.
As far as I am concerned, the computer is a source of anxiety.

Hello dears,
Thanks a lot for your effort, and your corrections.
Here is ANSWER B to one of these questions:
ANSWER B: topic 2: Who is your favourite actor (actress)? Tell us why you admire him(her) .
Actually, my favourite actor is... an actress! I must confess that selecting only one was a terrible dilemma, but, finally, my choice will be Meryl Streep. What I really like with her is her power to make every character not only convincing and believable, but also loveable. I think this is due to her ability to personify the entire subtlety of a human being, so that we identify, at least partially, to them. To me, it is as though she loves the characters she embodies, and she lets us share this part of love. Besides, she is able to perfom any kind of role, from the 'Iron Lady' to a lonely and helpless housewife, and you have never the same person on the screen. When she plays in a film, she carries it on her shoulders, and if you may forget the story, you'll never forget her character and her performance.

I'm not sure about "dilemma", I wouldn't use "dilemme" here, but it's perhaps OK in English.

"A terrible problem" might be a bit excessive.
Actually, my favourite actor is... an actress! I must confess that selecting only one was not that easy, but, finally, my choice will be Meryl Streep
When she acts in a film, she carries it on her shoulders ..
