Let's have a Conversation

Introduction

Mascotte, la marmotte
Pendant tout l'hiver, bien au chaud au fond de son terrier, que fait Mascotte la marmotte ?
Elle dort... Elle a accroché une pancarte à l’entrée: Ne pas déranger, j’attends le printemps !
Un jour, Oscar, le lézard, a voulu lui faire une farce, il est entré dans le terrier et a crié :
- Réveille-toi, Mascotte, c'est le printemps !
On était en plein hiver, il y avait même de la neige ! Mascotte, encore tout endormie, a fait quelques pas, mais, quand elle a senti le froid, elle est repartie à toute vitesse, pas contente du tout.
Oscar riait beaucoup.
- Quand tu dormiras au soleil, j’irai te tirer par la queue, a-t-elle promis. Puis elle s’est rendormie en rêvant à l'été et aux fleurs qui recouvrent la montagne.

Histoire 22 - Mascotte, la marmotte

Host: Welcome back to the podcast everyone. Now we’re moving on to the part of the show that we call ‘Explain yourself!’. This is where our guests talk about a topic and say what they think and why. Listeners, you can tell us who was the most convincing. So we’ve got Jake with us, Jake is from New York in the United States. Then we’ve got Andrew who’s from York in the UK.

Andrew: The original York before the Americans made a worse one.

Jake: No one knows where York is, or cares.

Host: Whoa! We’ve started already. Don’t worry, Jake, Andrew’s just trying to provoke you. This could be an interesting discussion! And today’s topic is Food and Drink. Which is better: American or British?

Jake: Well, this is going to be a short discussion. It’s American food and drink. It’s definitely the most well-known food around the world. What’s the next topic?

Andrew: Just because American food is the most well-known, which it is, it doesn’t mean it’s good. I think most of it is really unhealthy. Yes, he’s definitely an American male. Do all of you just sit watching games on TV that no other countries are interested in, drinking ice cold beer-flavored water and shouting (Mimics) ‘We’re the best at everything! USA!’

Jake: Oh you’re talking to me about beer? Good luck with tempting people to come to your barbecue on a hot day with a nice glass of warm beer. Not that you have barbecues because it’s always raining. You just sit inside with your warm beer and your fish and chips feeling sad.

Andrew: (laughs) I’m not going to apologize for enjoying beer that is slightly warmer than ice. There are things that are more important than how cold it is, you know? Like, oh I don't know - taste?

Host: Beer wars! Are we going to be able to resolve this difference at all, gentlemen?

Andrew: Obviously I’m a little more favorable toward British beer, but Jake has a point about the weather. It doesn’t actually rain all the time, but it’s not usually as hot as it gets in most places in the US.

“Well I'm certainly not a photography geek, but I do like to take photos now and again using my smartphone camera. I remember about a year ago I went on a trip to Phu Quoc, which is a very beautiful island in the south of Vietnam, and famous for its amazing sunsets. 




I guess like most tourists, I really wanted to get that perfect shot of one of the island's famous sunsets. I remember, I first did some research online to try and find out the best spots to photograph the sunset on the island. After deciding on what I thought would be the best location, I made sure to get there early as I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity.




The sunset certainly wasn’t a letdown, and lived up to its reputation.

I don’t actually remember how many shots I took, but I’m sure it was at least a few dozen, and I just hoped that even a few of them would do it justice.

After I got back to my hotel room, I started going through all the photos I had taken on my phone, and there was one that really stood out. It was the perfect shot, and really captured the beauty of the sun setting over the beach, with the sea in the background. 




I felt proud as punch when i looked at it, and couldn’t wait to post it on my social media account, for the world to see. Within just a few minutes I started to receive lots of likes and complementary comments on the post, which really made me feel so proud of it.
