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 " !
Aujourd'hui, nous allons avoir à commenter des proverbes ! Vous pouvez, bien sûr donner des exemples précis (vrais ou pas !
)
1) All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All play and no work makes Jack a silly boy!
2) Don't be a voice crying in the wilderness...
3) Where there's a will, there's a way...
4) Every cloud has a silver lining.
choisissez 1 ou 2 proverbes au choix en mp en notant bien les références - et développer celui (ceux) 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 jeudi 28 mai 2026 ! Go for it! with THE FORCE.

Hello dears,
Désolée pour ce retard... Pas d'internet (alors que je l'ai payé! ) là ou j'étais ! Même pas de 5G sur mon tél, et impossible de faire la partage de connexion. Je me calme, et je réclame...
Deux réponses déjà en boîte de réception. Voici la première arrivée.
ANSWER A: topic4: Every cloud has a silver lining
This proverb means that a negative occurrence may have a positive aspect to it. Every unpleasant situation might has some advantage. This expression encourages us when we are overcome by some difficulties and we are unable to think positively.. We must know that the darkest hour is just before the dawn. We must keep our head above the wave do not let any despair drags us under.
Sometimes Fate brings us strange surprises. A friend of us missed his train. It was a very serious problem because he had an important meeting and there were any train before the next day morning. Well, you won't believe me ; the train he had missed crashed into another and there were many dead and injury people. Imagine if he hadn't missed his train, not only he would not have arrived at his appointment on time, but also he could have been injured or worse.
Best of all, it was the next day that he met the woman of his life on the train he hadn't planned to take. They are married and now have three children.
No matter how dark a situation might be seem, there could yet come a golden morning.
Thanks for your help.

Hello dears,
Texte très bien corrigé.
Il reste deux fautes et une inexactitude... Les trouverez-vous ? 
En attendant, voici :
ANSWER B: Topic 4 : 'Every cloud has its silver lining'; please, indicate possible mistakes and underline what looks clumsy.
This proverb reminds me of the unclassifiable and very strange composer known as 'Moondog', who became blind at the age of sixteen as he was holding a block of dynamite which exploded in his hands. Out of this big misfortune came the good thing that he went to the Iowa School for the Blind, where he studied music at a level he couldn't have afford in the normal system. But actually, instead of 'every cloud', I'd rather say 'A lot of clouds', for I doubt the saying fits all kinds of misfortunes. Hopefully I'm too pessimistic, but I really doubt there is any silver lining for all the people living everyday under the threat of bombs in so many places in the world, or for those trying to escape hunger and misery in perilous boats, never sure to get anywhere... I couldn't look them in the eye, talking about 'silver linings'. But, as I said, I do hope this is too pessimistic...
Thanks for your help!

The spell checker flags "unclassifiable". This seems correct, though.

Hello again!
ANSWER A Topic 4
Il reste deux fautes et une inexactitude...
... We must keep our heads above water ...
This proverb means that a negative occurrence always has (not may have) a positive aspect to it (even if we don't think it's true).

Thank you Gerold
This proverb reminds me of the unclassifiable and very strange composer known as 'Moondog', who became blind at the age of sixteen as he was holding a block pack of dynamite which exploded in his hands. Out of this big misfortune came the good thing that came one good thing: he went to the Iowa School for the Blind, where he studied music at a level he couldn't have afford afforded in the normal system. But actually, instead of 'every cloud', I'd rather say 'a lot of clouds', for I doubt the saying fits all kinds of misfortunes. Hopefully I'm too pessimistic, but I really doubt there is any silver lining for all the people living everyday every day under the threat of bombs in so many places in the world, or for those trying to escape hunger and misery in perilous boats, never sure to get to arrive anywhere... I couldn't look them in the eye, talking about 'silver linings'. But, as I said, I do hope this is too pessimistic...
