Hello, dear writers!

Another new topic for you to write about. I hope many will participate enthusiastically, and that you'll do it as well as ever... Don't forget, you may help us in two different ways:

- EITHER you send me your try and we'll help you...
OR:
- You can be one of the 'rescuers' and help remove the possible mistakes! In both cases, you'll be sincerely thanked for it!

You mustn't be afraid of making mistakes... We LOVE mistakes, because they give us an opportunity to explain and correct them!

Here is today's topic: "Please, tell us your best Christmas memory." (150 to 160 words.)

Voici le rappel des modalités de la première partie de l'exercice :
1. Je vous demande une EXPRESSION sur le sujet proposé à m’envoyer en mp dès que possible …
2. Très vite, cette première expression sera publiée sur le Forum, et CHACUN sera libre de « corriger » UNE FOIS ( en collant le texte et indiquant les erreurs EN BLEU - ou en majuscules si vous ne pouvez pas utiliser les couleurs- , et en soulignant ce qui vous semble maladroit et que vous voudriez changer, sans donner votre « correction » (forme correcte), à ce moment là, comme il se doit.) Si un autre membre a déjà indiqué des erreurs en bleu, VOUS DEVEZ repartir de cette correction et la confirmer ou la corriger... Un seul essai à la fois sera publié pour corriger… [ Merci de ne pas mélanger les EXPRESSIONS différentes ! Une fois l'exercice suivant publié, on " oublie " le précédent ...] Vous pourrez ensuite donner vos suggestions de correction (en vert!)

IMPORTANT ! Pour me faciliter le transfert des corrections successives de vos travaux sur le site, pourriez vous m'indiquer par un "(" le mot ou segment de phrase qui devrai(en)t être modifié(s), s'il vous plaît ?
ie. (I'm repeating for years... ou (was not only to want something,... Pourquoi ? Simplement parce que le site ne " garde " pas les indications de couleurs ou de soulignement etc. dès que l'on copie... Donc, je prends vos travaux, je les corrige au fur et à mesure avec les codes "bleu" ou "souligné" ou "vert", mais au moment où je vous poste la correction, je perds tout mon travail... et dois tout refaire mot à mot en direct avec deux fenêtres ou même deux écrans pour un travail fastidieux de copie point par point! Merci de votre aide !

Hello dears!

Busy shopping for Xmas and the New year? Do not hesitate to tell us about your best Xmas memory...

Here is EXPRESSION N°1: Please indicate possible mistakes in blue and underline what you think is clumsy.

I often recall Christmas in my youth and my childwood… It was surrounded by mystery, hope, ligths, good smell of natural fir tree. My brothers and me we decorated the tree and worried to see the needles fall around and let the tree naked before Santa can come…

One year, I was five or six years, I wanted a green bicycle. I wrote a letter for Santa and waited with hope and exitment… I will be my fisrt bicycle of big boy, and I cannot wait.
It was really a more shining, brillant, blazing, dazzling bicycle I have never seen. I had tears in the eyes and wanted to try it on immediately… I was very exited and of course, I fall down. I cried a little but quickly forgot my dolorous knees… in fact, it was the best fall and the best ride I had in all my life, and like I said, the best Christmas of my life. I love Christmas. 160.

for your help! 🎄 ☀️ 🎄 🎁 🎄

Hello dear writers and dear correctors!

Hello Amalia! I do understand your frustration, but I also understand the writers who prefer to stay "anonymous" (but try their luck at writing). Some people are quite shy and not too sure of what they are writing in these EXPRESSIONS
.
Anyway, I will add some other indications in blue for the remaining mistakes, and I hope it will make up for the lack of the writer's feedback... a lot for your indications and suggestions.

EXPRESSION N°1: further indications after first corrections.

I often remember the Christmas of my youth and my childwood… It was surrounded by mystery, hope, ligths, and the good smell of XXX natural fir tree. My brothers and I decorated the tree and worried to see the needles fall around and let the tree 'naked' before Santa could come…

One year, when I was five or six years old, I wanted a green bicycle. I wrote a letter to Santa and waited with hope and excitement … It would be my first bicycle of big boy, and I could not wait.
It was really a more shining, brillant, blazing, dazzling bicycle I have ever seen. I had tears in my eyes and wanted to use it immediately… I was very excited and of course, I fell down. I cried a little but quickly forgot my dolorous knees… In fact, it was the best fall and the best ride I had in all my life, and' 'as I said, the best Christmas of my life. I love Christmas. 160.

Hello dears!

Amalia for the last correction!

I didn't beg for volunteers in vain last night!

Here is EXPRESSION N°2: please, indicate possible mistakes and underline what you think is clumsy...
Here is my text about "My best Christmas memory"

"My best Christmas memory is definitely the first we had with our oldest child. Being born in late May, she was about 7 months old, discovering and enjoying her new world in so many occasions. At the moment we arranged the Christmas fur tree, she was clearly wondering about the shining garlands, the stars and the baubles glittering in the dark foliage, her eyes and mouth very round with happy surprise, already smiling at the beauty of her first Christmas.

Then, as we live in Provence, we set up the traditionnal «crèche», with its small numerous clay figures, and this was a moment of emotion for me, because this «crèche» was the very one from my childhood, just given to me by my mother on this occasion.

I will always remember how magic and unique these instants were, full of family warmth and love, with this little child opening up to life and to the world..." 160 words

As Amalia said, everyone is allowed to step in to help, including the author. Everyone can do it once in blue(indications) and in two days, once in green (suggestions) (on Dec 12th).


a lot for your help!

Hello dears,

Here's EXPRESSION N°3: for it! Please indicate possible mistakes and underline what looks clumsy to you.

For me, Christmas has always had a magical connotation; and even if I went back as far as I could remember, I couldn't choose one ,that was better than the others.
Of course, the Christmases of my childhood were marvellous; and I can still see my cousins and I waiting impatiently and feverishly,for the moment when we could open the presents laid out by father Christmas. In those days, there were fewer presents, and they were less sophisticated; but mine never disappointed me, on the contrary !
Later, as a young mother, it was wonderful either.,Seeing so much amazement and wonder in the children's eyes ,is an unforgettable memory.They don't all react in the same way : my daughter was speechless, not knowing which parcel to choose,; while her cousins quickly unwrapped theirs.
Now ,I'm old enough to be a great grandmother, but I still look forward to this festive season, to give presents..but also to receive some ! 160 words

for your help!

Remember simply means having something available in one’s memory. Recall often has a connotation of conscious effort.

- on many occasions
- at the moment? at that moment : reporte mieux à un événement appartenant au passé. (that est "éloigné" [ idem plus loin pour «this was a moment»: that was…/ that crèche/ on that occasion/ those instants.] Bien garder à l'esprit que "this/ these" font référence à des "objets" ou événements proches (lieu ET temps- donc proches du présent) alors que "that/ those" font référence à des "sujets/ objets" ou événements éloignés (dans le temps ou dans l'espace), donc appartenant au passé.

- "it was wonderful either" est impossible ! Pourquoi ? parce que c'est une phrase affirmative. "Either" doit être associé à une négation, et fait donc partie d'une phrase négative. Also 'sonne mal' ici, à cause du contexte...
