The bad word that starts with an E

1.       * First, at the start of the exam, we can see Mr Bean who is a bit confused because he does'nt know immediately where to sit. Once sat, I think he's relaxed like he speaks with his partner. I would even say that he isn't stressed because he's concerned to be better than his partner showing him everything he has.When he takes the subject, he is excited and looks all around him.

              * During the exam, he begins to fear, stress and panic (to)by reading the subject.He becomes a little crazy and tries to cheat by looking at the work of his partner with all means.

              * Towards at  the end of the exam, he hurries to finish, and stop to sheat.

    2. When I past an important exam I have many feelings. Indeed at the start of the exam or many days before I'm stressed and I think I will not pass my exam. I can't sleep and I'm tired. In front of my copy my heart beating fast. I'm looking in my memory my lesson for answer to questions. Often I lose my memory because I'm afraid. After I must to be calm for be a warrior. Finally I try to do my exam correctly.

A different way of life

Amish life in crisis

Who are the Amish? This is a group of people, concentrated in the Philadelphia area, noted for its austerity and its attachment to traditions. They live detached from the society of today. They also call the "Plain People" They are known for their ancient culture, and their agricultural lands are among the most productive. The Amish are very devout in their faith; in fact it’s a very religious people who interpreted their own bible. They don’t have cars or the news technology. In fact, they still use horses for work and travel. They dress in simple and live simply. One could believe they do not want to load the misfortunes of our societies.

The Amish live "in this world but not of this world." they prohibit the possession of a car, they prohibit the use of public power, they use a little the phone, they refuse any secondary education. Compared to our standards, the Amish world seems limited. Thought and culture Amish based on submission to a religious way of life, peasant and family. Their fate seems writing and their life is probably missed of spontaneity and discovery.

Who am I ? ...

                             

My name is Marion Tournier, I am eighteen years old.

I live near  La Côte Saint André (Hector Belioz’s hometown) in a small village in the countryside named Balbins. But when I go to class, I live in Grenoble with two friends. I'm studying Spanish at the University Stendhal to become a teacher.



Concerning my personality, I admit that I am stubborn, hyperactive, clumsy, and I also have a very strong personality (that is what makes my charm) My temperament makes me always want to reach my goals, to follow my dreams.


Like many of us I have a lot of passions that rock my life :
To begin, I have been practicing horse-riding since I am three years old; I had the opportunity a few years ago, to buy my own horse: New Bell.

I love music especially classic music. In fact, since my childhood I have been practicing the piano in a conservatory. I have a great admiration for the masterpieces of Mozart.

Aside from that I listen to a lot of Reggae music. I often go to reggae gigs.
Finally, I love poetry and mountainous landscapes like those of Grenoble’s area.
I hope this description will help you to get to know me better.





Have a nice day,
M.
