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.

В этом подкасте я рассказываю, как уходят в отпуск люди в России, почему сезон отпусков - это период с конца июня по сентябрь и что такое "тюлений отдых". Приятного прослушивания!

Привет, это Наташа!

Отпуск. Как? Когда? Сколько?

Lucas goes to school every day of the week. He has many subjects to go to each school day: English, art, science, mathematics, gym, and history. His mother packs a big backpack full of books and lunch for Lucas.

His first class is English, and he likes that teacher very much. His English teacher says that he is a good pupil, which Lucas knows means that she thinks he is a good student.

His next class is art. He draws on paper with crayons and pencils and sometimes uses a ruler. Lucas likes art. It is his favorite class.

His third class is science. This class is very hard for Lucas to figure out, but he gets to work with his classmates a lot, which he likes to do. His friend, Kyle, works with Lucas in science class, and they have fun.

Then Lucas gets his break for lunch. He sits with Kyle while he eats. The principal, or the headmaster as some call him, likes to walk around and talk to students during lunch to check that they are all behaving.

The next class is mathematics, which most of the students just call math. Kyle has trouble getting a good grade in mathematics, but the teacher is very nice and helpful.

His fourth class is gym. It is just exercising.

History is his last class of the day. Lucas has a hard time staying awake. Many lessons are boring, and he is very tired after doing gym.

Which classes were your favorite? :)

La pizza è un'icona della cucina italiana che ha conquistato il palato di milioni di persone in tutto il mondo. La sua origine affonda le radici nella città di Napoli, dove venne preparata per la prima volta nel XVIII secolo. La vera pizza napoletana è riconoscibile per la sua base sottile e soffice, cotta in forno a legna a temperature elevate per ottenere una crosta croccante e un centro morbido. I condimenti tipici includono pomodoro, mozzarella di bufala, basilico fresco e olio d'oliva.

Oggi, la pizza ha assunto molte varianti, come la pizza margherita, con il suo mix di sapori semplici e autentici, o la pizza marinara, che esalta l'aroma degli ingredienti di base come l'aglio e l'origano. Inoltre, ci sono pizze gourmet con combinazioni creative di ingredienti come prosciutto, funghi, rucola e formaggi speciali. 
La pizza è diventata talmente popolare che oggi è possibile trovarla in ogni angolo del mondo. Tuttavia, la tradizione e l'autenticità della vera pizza napoletana rimangono intatte e sono riconosciute come Patrimonio Immateriale dell'Umanità dall'UNESCO.
La pizza è uno dei piatti più amati e rappresentativi dell'Italia, che unisce sapori deliziosi, convivialità e tradizione. Buon appetito!
