Festivals in French Guiana
1 Read Jeanne’s blog.




J’habite la Guyane française, une région française qui se trouve en Amérique du
Sud. Comme tous les Français, nous fêtons la fête du quatorze juillet et Noël. Les
jours fériés sont les mêmes qu’en France, mais en Guyane française, nous en avons
quelques-uns de plus.

Cependant, pour nous, la fête la plus importante est le festival du 10 juin. Ce jour-là,
il y a des conférences et du théâtre pour présenter l’histoire du pays aux habitants.

2 Read the extract from the text.
DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA




The author reflects on the past.


Quand j’étais enfant, je lisais des romans policiers et des magazines de mode. Mon rêve
était d’être professeur de dessin. Je n’avais pas d’ordinateur ou de portable : il n’y en
avait pas en ce temps-là.

Il y avait toujours quelque chose à faire. Je réparais ma bicyclette et je sortais avec mes
copains. On faisait normalement du skate au parc.

Le samedi après-midi, je regardais une des trois seules chaînes de télévision. Quand ils
étaient enfants, mes parents n’avaient pas de télévision. Je suis content d’être né dans
le monde moderne.
