Hello everybody!
I hope you are well. 

I would like to talk about my trip to Soltau in Germany. It was three weeks ago, but I had no time to write before.
So, we left Rennes on sunday the 22nd am 9 p.m. and we cruised all the night! Of course, we were very tired!

 During two weeks, we have visited many things very interesting: the Klima Haus, the Stasi Museum, the Spielraum Museum (a toy museum), a car factory: it was a Volkswagen factory (I found it a little bit boring...) and some towns like Breme, Lüneburg, Hamburg and Soltau, of course! I very enjoyed the Breme visit: the weather was sunny and the town wonderful! We also had a time to go shopping with our friends, it was really nice!

 On monday, we went to Heidenparck: it is a big amusement parc. The "Colossos" is the biggest wood roller coaster in the world! It is scary but I love that! Some pupils didn't like this attractions but I found it sooooo funny!

My correspondent is Steffi Graf (like the famous tennis player, yes!) and she was so nice! When I didn't understand (because I'm not bilingual) she tried to explain, sometimes in German, but sometimes in English too. This language is very pratical because when I couldn't say something in German and when she didn't understand in French, we could use English! I think I have really improve my German and my English: I learnt lot of new words (now, I can say "responsabilité" in German. In English, this is "responsibility" but it's easier)!

I took many photos and I laughed a lot with my friends! I really enjoyed this trip and I will never forget it! I hope you loved too!

See you soon!

In mars we had to do a work experience. I decide to go in a chemist's shop to know how it is,  if it's difficult, how we can became a chemist... I went in a chemist's shop not far from my house. I discover a lot of things and the differents professions.

I had to rank the medicines ordered, to tidy the shelvings... I discuss the studies with a student in the sixth year who works in this chemist's shop. To be a chemist, we have six years of studies. The firs year is the same as in medecine.The others years, there are lot of work experiences in chemist's shop or in laboratory. I think it's very interesting but it seems to be hard.I really enjoy this work experience, I learnt a lot of things.

Hello!
Today, I'm going to talk about my work experience!

Some weeks ago, I was doing my work experience (because I am in 3e, you know...). I went in Canon CRF (CRF, for Research Center, France).
Canon is a japanese firm, who produces camera and printers. Maybe you have a Canon camera, because This firm is the first producer in the world!
And Canon CRF, in Cesson-Sévigné is the european research center.

There are between 60 and 70 employee and lots of different professions! I have discovered all this professions: the different engineers, the managers, the accountant (= comptable), the human resources manager, the quality control officer (= responsable qualité), for the environment and work life, and the headmaster!

I have learnt what's a brevet, a network (this part was very difficult to understand but I had some vocabulary... Thank you Mr Cron!). I didn't know all the words, like the "standardisation" and the "veille", but they was very nice with me.
I also met the headmaster. His job is to manage budget (= gérer le budget) and to be the link between the Japan (the Canon direction is based in Tokyo) and the French engineers. I would like to be headmaster: I found it so cool and he cans have a very, very big desk!

To conclude, my work experience was very rewarding (=enrichissant). I discovered what is an firm, how it is working and I also decided to improve my english, because I saw it is very, very important: Canon is an japanese firm, that's why ALL is in english and each employee can speak this langage! It is essential to work, so... let's speak english!

Bye!

Hello!
I hope you are well!

Last week, I have finally seen this movie! I have already talk about the book, but now, I'd like to tell you my opinion about the film.

It is an american production, directed by Gary Ross (I didn't know him, but he is really good) and this first film is about the first Suzanne Collins book (there are 3 books, also there will be 3 movies.) The lead actors are Jennifer Lawrence, as Katniss, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta and Liam Hemsworth as Gale (but I think Gale is less important than Katniss and Peeta!).

The story is really faithfull to the original book and I wasn't disappointed. On the contrary, I have loved this film. The set (realised by computers) is absolutely perfect: the story takes place in the future and the production respected that. The actors are also perfect: I am a huge fan of Jennifer Lawrence! She plays Katniss so well!  I also like Amandla Stenberg, as Rue (she is so sweet!).

Well, I have loved this film, and I can't wait the next! Go to the cinema and watch this film! You didn't regret!
