Hello!
Here is our first ANSWER!
Please, indicate possible mistakes and underline what you think is clumsy.
Speak about the latest book you've read.
The latest book l read is Yellowface, by Rebecca Kuang. It is the story of June, an ambitious, but unsuccessful, young writer. She had a friend, the brilliant Asian-American Athena. One day, June was the sole witness to Athena's accidental death. In shock, she left the apartment with a manuscript that she rewrote, finished and published under a Chinese-looking name. It was the story of Chinese workers in France during WW1. It was a bestseller, but many publishers and readers became suspicious and launched a hateful campaign against June, accusing her of stealing the story and maybe murdering its author. This, however, was not the main point. Surprisingly, they considered that you should not be allowed to write on Asian people if you are not one of them. I didn't like the book very much (recommended to improve your knowledge of American slang), but I found the story interesting, and very disturbing. Is this the future of literature?
... you can also say what you appreciated!

Hello!
Answer A, my comments: I only can see one mistake (the same for the 3 verbs, times consistancy?) ; I like the summary and the personal judgement, all clear and concise, with an open conclusion. Maybe I'll read it because I sometimes like to be "disturbed"

Hello dears:
No suggestions in green? [you may start with posting your 'green' version!]
Here are ANSWERS B:
please, indicate possible errors, and underline what you think is clumsy.
TOPIC 1: A gift has several reasons for being. A present can be given as a thank you for a service rendered, as a gesture of affection or in celebration of an event. A gift is something positive. Whatever it is, even if it is a simple flower, a cake or a small card made by yourself will always have a value. Even if the item offered is not to your taste.
A gift is proof that you are appreciated. IN MY OPINION that is very important. 85 mots
TOPIC 4 : BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, I would choose Sydney.
First of all, what strikes you when you arrive is its dazzlinglight, even under the clouds.
Then there are the perfumes of the luxuriant tropical flowers. Not forgetting the songs of the multicoloured birds
I could also tell you about the glass and metal buildings next to the pink sandstone ones from the Victorian era.
And all this on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. 73 words

Hello!
for your indications and suggestions. Here's another answer! Topic 2 : Speak about the latest book you've read.
The latest book I've read is « A catcher in the rye » ; the French title is « L'attrape-coeur », and it is as obscure as the English one. I found it a very powerful book. While reading it, I felt sometimes very depressed because the main character is so pessimistic about his becoming an adult and about the society in general. I would never have stopped reading it, but I was really relieved when I finished it. The narrator is directly talking to the reader ; so I was feeling very close to him and I was empathising with his suffering. But on the other hand, it was as though I needed to have my part in this narration, just to contradict all this pessimism and negative ideas. But of course I could not ! FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, that was the reason for these mixed feelings. 150 words

I think I would change words… Ne pas aller « à la faute », même peu risquée… Play it safe: all his pessimism and the very negative ideas he develops… Rien n’oblige à aller utiliser « this », « these ».
-The difference between the most commonly used meanings of these two terms is: sympathy is feeling compassion, sorrow, or pity for the hardships that another person encounters. empathy is putting yourself in the shoes of another, which is why actors often talk about it.
‘The Catcher…’ is one of my favourite novels… For two very busy days, it follows Holden Caulfield, 16, who has just been expelled from school. Holden feels estranged from the world of adults and wanders through New York City for 2 days, till we finally learn that «he has fallen sick» , is safe in a hospital and will change schools…
Holden is not a pessimist…, not really… though he has very strong pessimistic streaks. He's just an adolescent, a young adult-to-be... (who had lived a serious trauma - his brother Allie's death - when he was a young boy.)
‘The Catcher’ was in the curriculum for « the Baccalauréat A Spécialistes » for 2 years a few years ago: a difficult book, because of the idiom used and the rambling ideas which were so difficult to follow... We worked through it for hours, and I loved it…
I still know some passages of it by heart… It’s so striking! My young-adult-students found a (tempting) part of them in it. They understood both Holding’s roaming hesitations and rejections of the world of adults and his idealistic principles… As Holden explains in the key-passage of the book, he wants to be the one who saves little kids running in a field of rye… He wants to prevent them from falling from a cliff… he sees himself as a Saviour. His little sister Phoebe is fascinated by the mission Holden has chosen to fulfill. My students adored it… Une fois de plus, sentez-vous libres de nous écrire, ou ré écrire des phrases, ou des paragraphes que vous auriez envie de refaire en Follow Up Work!

Hello!
Thank you for the correction!
I would never have stopped reading it, but I was really relieved when I finished it. (I really don’t understand what you mean…
Je voulais dire : ce livre est quand même assez éprouvant à lire, les sentiments pessimistes et la difficulté de vivre tellement bien rendus qu'il est difficile de ne pas les éprouver soi-même. D'où mon soulagement après l'avoir terminé, bien que je n'aie jamais eu la tentation d'en arrêter la lecture... "Mixed feelings"...
Difficile d'en rendre compte en une phrase !😐

Hello early bird!
La première partie de ta phrase «I would never have stopped reading it » correspond tout à fait à «a page turner» . Quant à la seconde, n’aies pas peur d'expliquer clairement ton malaise ressenti. ( tant pis si ça fait plus d'une phrase… ce n’est pas ici l’exercice …)
Amusant ce ressenti paradoxal ! Je me souviens qu’à la fin de ma toute première lecture, qui date, j'ai aussitôt recommencé pour chercher, dans la narration tous les indices du flash back, (comme si, comme toi, j’avais eu besoin d’être rassurée sur le sort de Holden, personnage si attachant.)
Relis la scène du carrousel, celle du « reservoir » de Central Park gelé et du problème métaphysique du devenir des poissons et canards..., plus généralement, toutes les scènes avec Phoebe, elles sont la lumière dont le lecteur a besoin pour se rassurer : finalement, Holden va s'en sortir, très bien sans doute, et n’est après tout qu’un adolescent un peu plus effrayé ( cf trauma de la mort d’Allie) que les autres au seuil de l'âge adulte… C'est un livre "culte" pour les adolescents...
