Une révolution commerciale_dictée_transcription

UNE RÉVOLUTION COMMERCIALE 

Dictée

Les villes constituent un centre d’échanges très important. Vers les années mille, le grand commerce se limitait au trafic de produits de luxe réservés à une minorité de riches. Mais en l’espace de trois siècles, du 11e au 13e, les matières premières, les produits alimentaires et les objets fabriqués apparaissent sur le marché et deviennent indispensables à des groupes sociaux plus larges, tels que, par exemple, la bourgeoisie urbaine. On parle alors d'une révolution commerciale. 

Les produits agricoles (principalement le vin et les céréales) et artisanaux (le plus souvent textiles) sont échangés dans des foires locales, puis acheminés vers des foires plus importantes.

Les foires se multiplient dans certaines régions françaises animées par le commerce international : la Flandre, l’Île-de-France, la Champagne. Toutes ces activités artisanales et commerciales s'organisent petit à petit au sein des corporations.

In this story, a grape named Sweety supports his grapevine as they face an attack from children. This is Part 4 of 5. 

The farmhouse was home to a small family who owned and operated the winery. Their three children, two twin girls and a boy, loved playing hide and seek in the maze-like structure of the grapevines. 

The eldest sister was chasing her brother, who was the youngest of the three, through the alleyways of the vineyard. In order to keep their balance as they sped around the corners, they would grab hold of a grapevine and swing themselves around, almost launching themselves like a slingshot. They laughed with carefree delight, enjoying the acrobatics of their game. Little did they know just how traumatizing this was for the inhabitants of the vines. 

Sweety held on with every bit of strength he had. His vine was shaking tremendously as the children swung themselves around. Fear gripped every grape on that vine. They all remembered the horrific moments of their brothers and sisters falling to their deaths. 

Sweety thought that this shaking was more than anything a storm could do. Maybe it would even be enough to tear down the entire vine. Being a natural-born leader and the spiritual guardian of his vine, Sweety knew he had to do something. 

“Hey!” screamed Sweety. “Stop your foolish game! Can’t you see you’re killing us! Play somewhere else and leave our homeland alone!” 

The eldest sister hesitated for a moment. She swore she heard something, like a faint voice, but she quickly disregarded it and continued playing. Sweety’s voice was tiny, almost inaudible. The sound of a stick breaking was far louder than his attempt at communicating with the humans. 

Round and round the kids went. They chased each other, grabbing the weak grapevines and spinning. With each spin, a few grapes fell to their death. All around, Sweety saw innocent grapes suffering their lowest honor.

東京に行ってて忙しかったから、久しぶりのアップです。当然お題は「東京」。首都東京がこんなに早く出てくるとは、私も予想外です。そして、まさかChatGPTにマウント取られるとは、思いませんでした！どうせ、私は田舎者（いなかもの）ですよ！だから今回は、ハルカちゃんと、ちょっとけんかしてます。でも田舎者だからこそわかる「東京、こわい」は、あってもいいんじゃないかな。「上の方」に住んでる方々のご意見を、ぜひ、うかがいたいものです。浅草と東京タワーについては、少し話してますが、観光情報をご希望の方にはお役に立てないなあ。ごめんなさいね。

For British people, it is easy to set up our own companies and to do many jobs without formal qualifications. Especially in sectors like Finance or Technology. Experience is often valued more, because it is cheaper than employing a graduate.
