“Christmas is around the corner in this souvenir store. Positioned right at the middle of the different fine gifts of Paris is a small while Christmas tree with several trimmings. All around it, you’ll see post cards, bookmarks, stationeries, books, and pens. Most of them have the Eiffel tower depicted on it. And those are the best ones to send to your family and friends back home. If you happen to be in France, don’t forget to drop by a bookstore or a souvenir shop. Get yourself and your friends some mementos of the visit.” |

| This week, let’s work on a dictation with Victor Hugo. He was not only a French poet, but also an essayist, a statesman, a visual artist and a human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France. Conservative in his youth, Hugo moved to the political left. Just click below to listen to the dictation in French, and try to type what you hear. Good luck ! |

“Take a look at this athlete. If you look through his eyes, it is as if he’s daring you to play ball with him. The image looks good that it seems like he could come out of the picture anytime to get the game going. The poster is so good and crisp this life-size picture looks like a three-dimensional image of this famous athlete holding the soccer ball. This is just one minor attraction of Paris. There is certainly a whole range of others if you decide to visit.” |

“Check out these succulent breakfast delicacies. If your breakfast were always as good as these food pieces, wouldn’t you wake up to a beautiful morning all the time? The block of cheese should be enough to make your mouth water. It would definitely taste best with the finest bread and the most delectable table wine. Don’t deprive yourself of a breakfast like this every now and then. Go ahead and give yourself some tasty rewards. Besides, we all should start the day with a full stomach.” |
