use of past tenses When we were children, my brother and I, we had our own game. We used to write on the fridge door. When I was playing or working my homeworks, my brother was writing a short sentence in the kitchen and after that, he came back in his own bedroom. Then I went in my turn in the kichen. I liked writing another thing to contradict him. It was a nice war, a written debate... We always wanted to have the last word and use original and humorous words. I've always appreciated our discussions even though I didn't always understand his matematical language. I've never been able to beat him in chess but I could score points in our literary games. It is also thanks to him that I was able to read a lot and discovered certain authors like Jules Vernes, Alexandre Dumas, or Victor Hugo… Every years, in Easter, we were competing to eat the most chocolate. I remember once, I had eaten all his box chocolate. I had been eating for 10 mn when he arrived in the room but I had finished all. He was very angry and, after that, I was sick. I shouldn't have eaten the chocolates. Now, as I've eaten so much chocolate when I was younger that I can't eat many chocolate without to be disgusted. I can't bear a lot the milk chocolate but I prefer the black chocolate. Anyway, it has more character.

Reflection What is the definition of beautiful ? My mind hungry of discovery searches an answer. I observe the works of different artists : sculptor, painter and I realize that they draw their inspiration from a main model, that of nature. Then, I remind a sentence read at random from an old religious to the French painter Joseph Vernet : "Believe me, if you want understanding what is beautiful, go see the sea, listen it". What model could seem more beautiful that the Creation ? If you want to understand what is beautiful, go see the forest so mysterious in its heart, so frightening when the light pierces with difficulty the thick canopy of leaves, so soothing by the crystalline refrain of its limpid stream... Go see the mountains so hight and so near of sky that their immaculate summits are encircled by cold haze. Finally, go see the distant deserts whose burning and relentless expanse forces us to recognize our helplessness.
