L’ordinateur est une chose complèxe qui comprend beaucoup de fonctions.
Avec cette nouvelle compétence, nous visons des objectifs dont les plus dominants sont:
-les calculs;
-les recherches scientifiques et techniques intervenues dans le monde;
-la connection a l'internet;
-les rélations amicales, toutes sortes d'informations.
ET VOUS, QUEL EST L'ETAT DE VOTRE CLIMAT?
QUE FAITES-VOUS CHAQUE JOUR?

Hello !
The computer
is a complex thing that has many functions.
With our newly-acquired knowledge, we envision certain goals, of which
the most important include :
- doing
calculations [in Excel]
- doing scientific
research and learning scientific techniques used world-wide
- connecting
to the internet
- [creating]
friendships, [acquiring] all sorts of information
AND YOU, WHAT
IS YOUR CLIMATE LIKE ?
WHAT DO YOU
DO ON A DAILY BASIS ?
Salut, je veux vous expliquer ce que
je fais chaque jour.
Je viens chaque jour à l’école, le
matin et le soir, sauf le dimanche.
Quand je quitte l’école, j’aide ma mère à faire des travaux
ménagères. Après je lis mes cahiers.
-Hadja
Le dimanche, je fait la linge. Je vais chez mes amies pour me tresser. Quelque fois, je vais à la chute.
Merci,
Mariame
QU’EST-CE QUE VOUS VOULEZ SAVOIR DE
NOUS ?
Hello, I want
to give you a glimpse of what I do everyday.
Every morning
and evening I come to school, except on Sundays. When I finish at school, I help my mother
with housework. After that, I review my
lesson-books.
-Hadja
On Sunday, I
do laundry. I go to my friends’ houses
to have my hair braided. Sometimes I go
to the Ditinn waterfall.
Thanks,
Mariame

SALUT : Je veux vous donner la
déscription de mon village.
Mon village s’appelle FETO ; c’est
un village qui se situe à 3 kilomètres de la sous-préfecture de DITINN. Il est le plus beau village dans notre
district. FETO est le village le plus
confectionné, dans lequel on trouve des grands arbres, des beaut batîments, une
grande mosquée et une école franco-arabe.
Mon village est le meilleur village
à Ditinn car dans ce lieu il n’y a pas des delinquants. A Feto, depuis ma naissance, je n’ai jamais
vu ou entendu d’un groupe de malfaiteurs.
La population de Feto est estimée
765 habitants, tous des peuhls. Il est
situé au nord-ouest de Ditinn a 7 km de la chute de Ditinn. Merci.

QUE PENSEZ-VOUS DE NOTRE GROUPE D’INFORMATIQUE ?
Hello : I’d like to describe my village for you.
My village is called Feto ; it’s a small place
about 3 kilometers from the center of Ditinn.
It’s the most beautiful village in our whole district. Feto is the most well-groomed and organized
village, where you’ll find lots of big trees, beautiful houses, a grand mosque
and a franco-arab school.
My village is the best one in Ditinn because we don’t
have any delinquents here. In Feto, ever
since I can remember, I’ve never heard of a group of criminals existing.
Feto’s population is estimated at 765 inhabitants, all
of whom are peuhls (pular-speaking people of the « fulani » ethnic
group). Feto is located north-east of Ditinn, only 7 km from the
waterfall. Thanks !

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUR COMPUTER LITERACY GROUP ?
Tell me more about the waterfall and what you do for fun!
ReplyDeleteMy climate is very cold right now, but getting warmer. We've been dealing with a few months of 0-35 degrees, and snowfall 1-2 times a week. It's a lot of snow! But Friday was the first day of spring, which should mean it's getting warmer. Tomorrow will be in the 50s, which will feel very warm! It will take a few months until it's hot again, up in the 70s, 80s, 90s.
Every day I get up around 7 a.m., shower, and go to work. I can walk to work, about 15 minutes. I work in an office that is two floors and has many cubes with desks and computers. On the first floor is a health center where people come to see our nurses and doctors. I work until about 4 p.m. and then go for a run and eat dinner at home, or go out with friends for dinner (and usually beer).
Good evening from Boston!
ReplyDeleteRight now, Boston is cold and rainy. I hope that it will be warmer soon because I want to start growing some vegetables. Yesterday I saw some flowers sprouting from the ground which makes me hopeful that the weather is finally starting to warm up a little bit. The students at my school can't wait for warmer weather too. The boys want to play soccer outside but it has been too cold up until now. I think that this coming week we will have nicer weather.
Everyday, I go to work at a school in Boston. It takes me about 30 minutes on the train to get to my school. I leave my apartment at 5:30 am but I don't mind getting up so early. I've been waking up that early for the past 2 years so I'm used to it. I like to read on my way to work. We have about 650 students at our school. I work until 5:00 pm and then I usually go home. Sometimes I go out with friends but usually I am too tired!
What types of things do you like to do when the weather is warm? Do you play sports?
