UNIT 13 1

A French Lesson

Marg. - Oh, Tom! This magazine is real ly interesting! And the

pictures are so art ist ic!

Tom - What kind of pictures are they? Of cars? Of f i lm stars?

Marg. - No, dear. This is a fashion magazine. There are only

pictures of beauti fu l fashions. I love French fashions!

Tom - Is i t a French magazine?

Marg. - Of course, dear. I buy only French fashion magazines.

Tom - But can you read French easi ly?

Marg. - Of course I can. I could read and speak French f luently

when I was only f i f teen. When I was at school , I was

always the f i rst of the class in French.

Tom - I t is strange, but people always forget foreign languages

when they leave school . I had no problems, of course,

because I was always the last of the class in French. So, I

had nothing to forget. I could never remember the verbs.And I had a terr ib le pronunciat ion. I th ink that French is a

very di f f icul t language.

Marg. - Poor darl ing. I th ink that French isn’ t d i f f icul t at al l . I have

an idea! You can read a l i t t le French now - and I can

correct your pronunciat ion mistakes.

Tom - No, dear. I t ’s useless. I t ’s too late.

Marg. - No, i t isn’ t . Remember! The proverb says: “ I t ’s never too

late.”

Tom - But i t ’s fool ish to work too much on a hol iday.

Marg. - Oh, that is r id iculous, dear! You do nothing from morning

to night. The only things that interest you are: eating,

dr inking, l istening to the jukebox, smoking and sleeping.

And as you know, that is very bad for your heal th, dear.

away! The only thing that you think about is eating. You

forget that I want to buy a car!”

When we go to America, I l ike to eat what they cal l “ fastfood” or “ junk food.” They cal l i t fast food because they

prepare i t very fast, and they cal l i t junk f ood, because i t is

not very nourishing.

In Brazi l they speak Portuguese, because i t was a

Portuguese colony. colonia

For my second tr ip I would l ike to visi t China and Japan.

The language is no problem, because my father says that

in Chinese and Japanese schools they study Engl ish. My

father also says that Engl ish is spoken al l over the world.

So i f you learn Engl ish wel l , you can see the world and you

wi l l be able to speak to everybody. - But we mustn’ t

forget a very important th ing: travel l ing costs a lot of

money. So, as my mother often says to me: we must f i rst

earn the money, and then make plans how to spend i t . My

mother also says that I am always dreaming about

travel l ing and that I must be more real ist ic. When she says

that, I answer, “Mama, dreams cost nothing, so why can’ t I

dream?” - I f you like, you can dream too. I t costs nothing!
