    Hello, dear Workers!

    Il est certain qu'il est plus difficile de guider des rédacteurs qui ont fait, comme vous me le dites, des fautes " de bonne foi ", par écrit, "au loin", que lorsque l'on est à côté d'eux ... Ils pensaient que les constructions utilisées étaient bonnes ou même parfois, ils ont fait une faute "parce que, pourtant, "ça se dit comme ça en français ..." Si vous pensez cette dernière formule, détrompez-vous ... Les choses se disent rarement de la même façon en français et en anglais ... Ne cherchez pas à traduire mot à mot ... (je le répète toujours - pardon de "radoter") ... Efforcez-vous d'oublier votre français lorsque vous rédigez ou parlez ... C'est en pratiquant, encore et souvent, que les progrès viendront !
    N'hésitez donc pas à participer, pour la correction comme pour l'écriture ...

    Voici le rappel des modalités de la première partie de l'exercice :
    1. Je vous demande une EXPRESSION sur le sujet proposé (un sujet unique par exercice) à m’envoyer en mp dès que possible … (=> 130 - 150 mots au maximum.)

    2. Le plus tôt possible, une première expression est publiée sur le Forum, et CHACUN est libre de « corriger » UNE FOIS ( en collant le texte et indiquant les erreurs EN BLEU, et en soulignant ce qui vous semble maladroit et que vous voudriez changer, sans donner la « correction » (forme correcte), comme il se doit.) Un seul devoir à la fois sera publié pour corriger…
    Les modalités entières sont accessibles :Lien internet


    ( Je vous les rappellerai au fur et à mesure de la progression du travail ).

    Cet exercice sera ... ce que vous en ferez, ou Correction en ligne le jeudi 24 février 2022.
    Voici le nouveau sujet !

    - To what extent is "talking" a way of solving conflicts between people? (130-150 words)

    May THE FORCE be with You (with all of you! ) Everybody's welcome! Do not hesitate to write!

    Hello, dear all!

    I was beginning to despair... and there it arrived:

    EXPRESSION N°1:

    Discussion is always preferable. Violence leads to violence and escalation :" destruction, death of men, revenge, and it is endless"...
    In a calm discussion where everyone can present their arguments, talk about their grievances, face to face or with a mediator, it is possible to find a win-win solution for the antagonists.
    However, it is necessary to deal with intelligent people of good faith and good will. If you have in front of you a stupid, stubborn, warlike, proud person who does not accept any concession... Only this one who can become dangerous for others must be neutralised. He have to be locked up in an asylum or a prison, deprived of all power to harm. When no deal is possible try by trickery ! It can take time and not succeed. In any case the more you multiply the discussions the more you will delay the inevitable. 145 mots

    Merci d'indiquer les erreurs en bleu et de souligner ce que vous pensez être maladroit.

    I must remind you that you should post without fearing to be judged... We're all here trying to help!

    Hello!

    EXPRESSION N°1 "ready for correction"!

    Discussion is always preferable. Violence leads to violence and escalation :" destruction, death of men, revenge, and it is endless"...

    EXPRESSION N°2:

    Talking helps people understand each other. When everyone has developed their point of view, their arguments, their needs, there can be a way of coming up with a solution that satisfies everyone. There is room for negotiations, compromises between people of good faith and willing to calm the situation and meet everyone's needs.
    Yet, despite their best efforts, some people may still disagree on the things they're fighting for: when their deepest beliefs or their strongest interests are at stake, their aspirations may be irreconciliable, no matter how long they discuss.
    Then, time can help resolve even the hardest conflicts: temporising, maintaining the status quo can help avoid war. In order to break the deadlock, it is necessary to be creative in negotiations and to call upon an independent mediator.

    Please, indicate the possible mistakes in blue, and underline what looks clumsy to you...

    Hello!

    No green for E2!

    Here, is EXPRESSION N°3:

    When you’re young, especially at school, the parents and teachers tell you : « Quiet ! stop talking ! » and we try to do it, to be good pupils and not be punish. But when you become old, people tell you : « Speak ! » «say what’s on your heart and on your mind !» "Go and see ‘specialists’ and speak, it will free you !" So, we don’t understand and know what to do…
    Of course, if we consult a phsychologue, you must speak and it will help you… If you don’t, you’d explose.
    If our leaders speak together, it may prevent wars and that’s good… Everyone keeps silent and expect the leaders who speak… but speaking and explaining is often a lost of time. You must repeat, and repeat… and you don’t always get what you asked, nothing change. It would be good if people have learned when they must speak and when they must not speak! 147

    Dans un premier temps, merci de mettre les erreurs possibles en bleu et de souligner les maladresses.

    hello!
    EXPRESSION N°3:

    When you’re young, especially at school, parents and teachers tell you: « Quiet! Stop talking! » and we try to do it, to be good pupils and not to be punished. But when you get older, people tell you: « Speak! » «Say what’s on your heart and on your mind!» "Go and see ‘specialists’ and speak, it will free you!" So, we don’t understand, we don't know what to do…
    Of course, when you consult a psychologist, you do speak and it really helps you… If you didn’t, you’d explose.
    Our leaders' speaking to each other may prevent wars and that’s a good thing… Everyone keeps silent and expects their leaders to spread the good word

    However, speaking and explaining is often a waste of time. Sometimes, you have to repeat and repeat… and yet you don’t always get what you asked for: nothing changes. It would be better if people learnt when they should speak and when they should not! 147

    (2) it is necessary to deal with intelligent people of good faith and good will : étrange phrase …Comme s’il était possible de toujours choisir ses interlocuteurs … Je crois qu’il faudrait revoir la construction (et les nuances) de cette phrase …
    (3) If you have in front of you a stupid, stubborn, warlike, proud person : un peu la même remarque … De plus, les jugements de valeur me gênent … ceci n’est vrai que dans l’esprit de celui qui parle, ou écrit … je crois qu’il faudrait encore une fois nuancer … De plus, cette phrase est inachevée, ou, en tout cas, « n’est pas une phrase » !

    - «stubborn» était sans doute le bon mot cherché par notre rédacteur (« borné » !) Bravo pour l’imagination, Maxwell !
    - Changer d’avis/ d’opinion : to change opinions (au pluriel, parce qu’il y a l’opinion d’avant le changement et celle d’après !)
    - much better= bien mieux.
    - the covid/ covid 19 ; je crois que je mettrais un nom derrière (par exemple : pandemic/ situation/ period/ etc.) et mettrais l’article devant.
    Très très bonne correction, Maxwell. Bravo.

    hello!
    EXPRESSION N°1:

    Discussion is always preferable. Violence leads to violence and escalation :" destruction, death of human beings, revenge, and it is endless"...
    In a calm discussion where everyone can present their arguments, talk about their grievances, face to face or with a mediator, it is possible to find a win-win solution for the antagonists.
    Dealing with intelligent people of good faith and good will increases the chances of success. However, the situation is more delicate when you have to deal with a stubborn warlike proud person who does not accept any concession... Only the person who can become dangerous for others must be neutralised. They have(*) to be locked up in an asylum or a prison, deprived of any power to harm. When no deal is possible, try the trick! It can take time and may not succeed. In any case the more discussions you have, the more you will delay the inevitable.

    (*) comme on ne sait pas si c'est un homme ou une femme, j'ai mis they

    EXPRESSION N°2 :

    Talking helps people understand each other. When everyone has developed their point of view, their arguments, their needs, there can be a way of coming up with a solution that satisfies everyone. There is room for negotiations, compromises between people of good faith and willing to calm the situation and meet everyone's needs.
    Yet, some conflict situations can become very tense between international organisations. Despite their best efforts, their leaders may still disagree on the very things they're fighting for: when their deepest beliefs or their strongest interests are at stake, their aspirations may be irreconcilable, no matter how long they discuss.
    Then, time can help resolve (*) even the hardest conflicts: temporising, maintaining the status quo can help avoid war. In order to break the deadlock, it is necessary to be creative in negotiations and to call upon an independent mediator.

    (*) au vu de tes liens, j'ai l'impression que j'ai fait le bon choix, non ?


    EXPRESSION N°3:

    When you’re young, especially at school, parents and teachers say to you: « Quiet! Stop talking! » and we try to do it, to be good pupils and not to be punished. But when you get older, people say to you: « Speak! » «Say what’s on your heart and on your mind!» "Go and see ‘specialists’ and speak, it will free you!" So, we don’t understand, we don't know what to do…
    Of course, when you consult a psychologist, you do speak and it really helps you… If you didn’t, you’d explode.
    As long as our leaders speak to each other, war may be avoided and that’s a good thing… Everyone keeps silent and expects their leaders to spread the good word…
    However, speaking and explaining is often a waste of time. Sometimes, you have to repeat and repeat… and yet you don’t always get what you asked for: nothing changes. It would be better if people learnt when they should speak and when they should not! 147


    EXPRESSION N°4:

    Speaking seems a universal remedy. It is supposed to solve everything, but I don’t think it’s right: if people don’t listen to each other, it’s no use...
    Some people are stubborn, and don’t change opinions even if they are proved wrong; some people speak to make noise, to argue and win… Many people should keep quiet!
    It would be much better if people who don’t know things kept their opinions to themselves and didn’t spread them on networks or on TV. During the covid period, many people thought it was a catastrophe because naive people believe that what they read on social networks is the truth. 134 words.
