Youpi, c'est mercredi !
Welcome to our Daily Dose of Positivity!
As France eases the lockdown, relatives and friends start to meet again (while respecting social distancing), and what's better than an exchange of gifts to mark the occasion :) So today, let's be generous and talk about presents!
- Let's start with practising the difference between savoir and connaître in this Fill-in-the-Blanks kwiz where Tina asks Bertrand for birthday gift ideas:
- And now for a heartwarming story about a teacher from Annecy who wanted to give her students a nice parting present after a year cut short by the lockdown. Discover what she did for them (and with them) in the following French article:
And as a bonus, a sentence from this article linked to our related French lessons:
Chacun devait montrer un extrait qui l’avait particulièrement marqué et ceux qui le souhaitaient ont écrit une phrase « qui exprimait leur ressenti ».
Each one was supposed to show an excerpt that had made a strong impression on them and those who wished to do so wrote a sentence « that expressed their feelings ».
