Charlotte la marmotte
Charlotte est paresseuse et très lente. Pour son anniversaire, ses amis ont préparé un énorme gâteau, garni de dix bougies. Le soir venu, tout le monde se rassemble dans la clairière. La marmotte s'approche du gâteau…
Deux heures plus tard, elle n'a encore éteint que deux bougies! L'assemblée s'impatiente et les plus jeunes s'endorment déjà. Il est minuit quand Charlotte souffle la cinquième bougie. Monsieur Hibou est le seul à garder les yeux ouverts…

Le subjonctif

Jorge is shopping at a clothing store.

Salesperson (Lily):
This jacket fits you really well! Would you like to size up and try a bigger size?

Customer (Jorge, confused):
Size up? You mean bigger size?

Lily (nodding):
Yes, exactly! "Size up" just means trying a larger size than the one you have.

Jorge (scratching his head):
Hmm… Size up? You mean, when I grow bigger?

Lily (laughing):
Haha, no, no! "Size up" just means trying a bigger jacket. Not growing, just a bigger size!

Jorge (still confused):
So… Size up means I wear bigger clothes, but I don’t grow taller?

Lily (smiling):
Yes! "Size up" means getting a bigger size of the same jacket. You don’t need to grow taller for that!

Jorge (nodding, still unsure):
Okay, okay, I try bigger size jacket. I think I understand!

Jorge (curious):
By the way, your English is really good. How do you speak so well?

Lily:
Well, I took speaking lessons with Teacher Smith on italki! She’s amazing for improving English.

Jorge:
Really? How I book  lesson with her?

Lily:
It’s super easy, just click on her profile on italki and book a speaking lesson!

Jorge:
Wow, easy? I book it now!
