Hello dear Friends!

Another easy exercice that everyone can do!

Je sais que l'Expression libre est la compétence la plus difficile à bien acquérir dans l'apprentissage d'une langue, même si elle est notre langue maternelle, d'ailleurs...

Certains m’avaient dit être gênés d’exprimer des idées personnelles ( - ils avaient l’impression – souvent fausse – de les exprimer maladroitement. ) Vous savez que je ne vous demande pas de " raconter votre vie " si vous ne le désirez pas... Je souhaite juste vous voir vous exprimer sur tout sujet aussi " librement " que possible.
De plus, je pense que vous aurez maintenant compris que pour moi, toute expression, même maladroite, est intéressante et a de la valeur. Elle nous stimule tous à " trouver mieux " !

Voici les questions auxquelles vous pourrez répondre :

1) what do you think of games of chance?

2) Daylight Saving Time (DST) has taken place this weekend. What do you think of it?

3) Would you rather have remorse (of doing something) or regrets (of not doing that thing)?

4) Do you think girls have as many opportunities in life than boys?

Vous pouvez répondre à 1 ou 2 questions au choix – en notant bien les références - et développer celle(s) que vous voulez, jusqu’à atteindre en tout un maximum d’environ 150 mots.

Envoyez-moi vos réponses en mp et je publierai une première série que vous 'corrigerez' (en bleu d’abord pendant deux jours) puis en vert… Une fois la première réponse corrigée au mieux, je publierai ensuite la deuxième série... (sans changements donc ! ) Vous gagnez de la liberté (celle de ne pas parler de plusieurs sujets, ceux qui ne vous " inspirent pas "... Vous écrivez la longueur que vous voulez, vous pouvez choisir d'inventer, de plaisanter, ou de répondre avec sérieux... Nous vous suivrons !

Cet exercice sera pour vous un ou en fonction de la qualité de vos écrits et des difficultés (surmontées) dans la prestation...

Cet exercice sera corrigé (j'espère !)le vendredi 11 avril 2025 ! Go for it! with THE FORCE.

Hello dears,

Here is your first text to work on...

ANSWER A: let's suggest 83: Topic1
please indicate possible mistakes and underline what looks clumsy to you.

A few years ago, a gambling company invented a clever slogan that said: 100 percent of the winners played.
Obviously if you don't play you can't win.
However, even though you hit the jackpot, which is a chance in several million, you still have to know how to manage the money won- many winners get scammed and lose their money in a short time -
More often than not, your gain is less important than your losses; besides you have been warned, it is written : you win a little you lose a lot" at the entrance to the gaming rooms.
Millions of people can dream of becoming rich by this means, for me it's just a good way to lose my money.

for your help!

Gaming and gambling are often confused (by gambling companies, of course!) but normally "gaming", unlike "gambling" (also called "betting"), is based on skill rather than chance and does not involve money, except for the small sum you pay for a game. A gaming room is much less dangerous than a gambling room.

Hello!

Thanks, gerold for your explanations... I'm not sure the difference is clear for me...
here is

ANSWER B: games of chance. Please, indicate possible mistakes, and underline what looks clumsy.

I don't believe in chance and I think that games of chance are immoral and must be highly taxed.
People offering games of chance favour the people's irresponsability. Arriving in a Casino, with little money, they play and perhaps they win a little. They become heated and play again and lose. They insist playing to recuperate money they lost, but lose again. Sometimes, they steal a wife or husband visa card to go on playing,and it becomes irrepressible. Often, - always- it leds to a catastrophe for the family. Money is lost before it is gained because of the piling debt. I hate games of chance, and I hate this horrible word 'chance': it is no chance at all...

for your help!

ANSWER B: games of chance. Initial text and my preliminary indications.

I don't believe in chance and I think that games of chance are immoral and must be highly taxed.
People offering games of chance favour the people's irresponsability. Arriving in a Casino, with little money, they play and perhaps they win a little. They become heated and play again and lose. They insist playing to recuperate money they XXXX lost, but lose again. Sometimes, they steal a wife or husband visa card to go on playing,and it becomes irrepressible. Often, - always- it leds to a catastrophe for the family. Money is lost before it is gained because of the piling debt. I hate games of chance, and I hate this horrible word 'chance': it is no chance at all...

Confusion on 'chance'. You obviously think that the word means the same in both languages. It doesn't.
chance: a possibility or probability of anything happening; likelihood.
hazard: the absence or lack of predictability; chance; uncertainty.
These two definitions seem to match the French one, and they're only 'one' among many others...

VOILA Comment je dirai d'apres ce que j'ai compris.

The more you play, the more losses you accumulate. Before you play again, you already have debts that are rarely covered by your gained.
I hate games of chance, and I hate this horrible word 'Chance' It was said that chance can be predicted with statistics and theories, in fact it is not an exact science but only luck therefore pure random.

Hello!

Merci magie pour ton Follow up Work! Il est parfait. j'ai juste à redire un peu sur la ponctuation, mais je sais que dans ton Paradis, tu as quelques déboires avec clavier, Internet et réseaux...

and I hate this horrible word 'Chance' It was said that chance can be predicted with statistics and theories, (je mettrais un ; )in fact it is not an exact science but only luck the (soit ponctuation, soit 'and'...)refore pure hazard.

I know some people in France who have chosen to be banned from Casinos because they spent and lost too much. Identities are supposed to be checked at the entry, but apparently, it's quite easy to sneak into another Casino...
In England, 'gambling' is divided into 'gaming, betting and participating into a lottery'.it's regulated by the 2005 Gaming Act.
In the US, regulations vary greatly by state. There are laws affect casinos, sports betting, lotteries, and online gambling. Some states allow most forms of gambling. Others heavily restrict or entirely ban certain practices.
In Australia, gambling is heavily regulated; yet, Australia is said to have the highest gambling losses in the world!
