En \u00e9crivant ce poste \u00e0 New York pendant un hiver particuli\u00e8rement brutale, je me suis dit \u00ab\u00a0Allez, je vais faire un poste sur la neige, la froideur, et tout le reste.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking out my window today, I see about two feet of snow on the ground and frozen branches on bare trees. My car thermometer today registered only 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-15 Celsius). I know I shouldn\u2019t be complaining \u2013 my close friend in Minnesota has dealt with much worse this winter \u2013 but I still can\u2019t wait for the warmth of spring.<\/p>\n

In honor of this cold and seemingly endless winter, here are some paragraphs in French (with highlighted vocabulary) to highlight the beauty of the season:<\/p>\n

A Paris, nous ne voyons pas souvent de la neige<\/strong>. \u00a0Des fois, il y a des flocons de neige<\/strong> mais pas d\u2019accumulation.\u00a0 En plus, souvent les saisons<\/strong> ici sont plus douces que les saisons au nord des Etats-Unis.\u00a0 On ne voit jamais des bonhommes de neige<\/strong> dans les rue parisiennes\u00a0!<\/em><\/p>\n

En hiver<\/strong>, il faut sortir avec un manteau lourd<\/strong>, des gants<\/strong>, des bottes<\/strong>, un foulard<\/strong>, et un chapeau<\/strong>.\u00a0 Avec ces v\u00eatements, on reste tout chaud dehors m\u00eame quand il fait moins z\u00e9ro\u00a0degr\u00e9s!<\/em><\/p>\n

Moi, j\u2019aime le cong\u00e9 d\u2019hiver<\/strong>. Chaque ann\u00e9e je pars aux alpes pour faire du ski<\/strong>. Je fais souvent du ski alpin<\/strong>, mais des fois j\u2019essaie faire du ski de fond<\/strong>. Mais, bien s\u00fbr, je mets toujours un casque<\/strong> et un masque<\/strong> de ski<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n
