Si on travaille à plein temps de nos jours en France, on peut prendre un minimum de vingt-cinq jours de vacances payées par an.

Cette année -là, le gouvernement français a décidé d’introduire les vacances payées pour tout le monde. Les Français ont alors commencé à partir en vacances d’été, ce qu’ils ne faisaient jamais avant. C’était le debut du tourisme moderne en France, on avait besoin d’avoir plus d’hôtels, d’ouvrir plus de restaurants et d’améliorer les plages.

Elle a dormi avec son stylo et son nouveau cahier. Dans la salle de classe, Tibi sort son stylo et son cahier. La petite fille assise à sa droite n’a pas apporté de papier. Elle a juste un vieux crayon et un morceau de gomme. Tibi donne une page de son cahier à la fille.

À son avis, il faut sauver la planète pour ses enfants. Il dit que nous devons tous utiliser l’énergie verte, par exemple l’énergie solaire, même s’il faut payer plus. Françoise n’est pas du tout pessimiste pour le futur de la Terre. Elle pense que les gouvernements devraient trouver des solutions aux problèmes de l’environnement : pour elle, le chômage parmi les jeunes est plus important. Guy croit que la pollution au centre-ville est une situation très sérieuse. Selon lui, on a besoin d’avoir plus de zones piétonnes et d’espaces verts pour les enfants dans sa ville. La semaine dernière, il a écrit à la mairie pour se plaindre de la situation. Patricia pense que le manque d’eau dans le monde est un grave problème à cause des changements climatiques.

Depuis l’âge de dix ans, quand j’ai pris le train pour la première fois, j’ai toujours adoré tous les moyens de transport. Récemment, j’ai vu une affiche pour une exposition en ville sur les TGV (trains à grande vitesse) et j’ai décidé d’y aller. L’exposition était incroyable et j’ai trouvé que ces trains n’existent en France que depuis le début des années 80, quand mes parents sont nés. Sais-tu que le premier voyage en TGV a été au Japon en 1964 pour transporter les spectateurs aux Jeux Olympiques ? Aujourd’hui, l’un des voyages les plus populaires en TGV est celui de Paris à Londres en Eurostar. Moi, je n’ai jamais fait ce voyage. Enfin, je vais le faire en juillet. Le voyage prendra un peu plus de deux heures. Il y a seize trains chaque jour. Génial ! J’ai toujours voulu visiter Londres. Peut-être que nous pourrons nous rencontrer pendant ma visite ?
