 “Moving around France is very easy and convenient, as you have several modes of transportation to choose from, this cream-colored train with a green stripe included. The train offers you a way to get to your destination fast and easy. The electronic sign placed on top shows you when the next train will come. This underground subway of Paris is complete with amenities like surveillance cameras, vending machine, and air-conditioning systems. Be sure that you try one of France’s fastest trains while you’re in the area.” |

Dictation |
|
|
| Today a dictation that will make you more familiar with Maupassant, one of the fathers of the modern short story. A protege of Flaubert, Maupassant’s short stories are characterized by their economy of style and their efficient, effortless dénouement. He also wrote six short novels. A number of his stories often denote the futility of war and the innocent civilians who get crushed in it. Are you ready ? So let’s jump into Maupassant’s universe. |

Translate this text from English to French
“France is a big lover of ball games. And if this picture fails to confirm that exactly, then nothing will. This poster is placed against one of France’s tall buildings situated on its main streets. The poster shows three athletes in their uniform, ready to take their games to the next level for the glory of their country. If you find this poster enthralling enough, then you must be one of the fans owning front seat tickets in the next ball game.” |
