Grandfathers’ day
1 Read this article.
En France, la fête des grands-pères a commencé en 2008. La date de
cette fête a été fixée au premier dimanche d’octobre. Bien sûr, depuis
1987, on fête aussi les grands-mères, le premier dimanche de mars.
La France est l’un des rares pays au monde à avoir des fêtes pour les
grands-pères et les grands-mères.
Franck Izquierdo, l’inventeur de la fête, a un site Internet pour faire de la
publicité pour l’événement et montrer l’importance de la famille.

Orianne is on holiday with Jade.
Je suis Orianne. Je suis assise au soleil et Jade marche au bord de la mer.
Jade connaît déjà les enfants du village et elle sait dire quelques mots
dans leur langue. Hier, les enfants du village nous ont invitées à jouer
dans leur maison. Seule Jade y est allée. Moi, non, je suis trop timide,
donc j’ai préféré rester seule à lire. Comme nous sommes différentes !
Il y a seize ans, nous sommes nées le même jour. Nous sommes jumelles,
mais malheureusement, nous ne nous entendons pas bien.
