Les Lundis Mondays Adelaida Cazin (’17)

Cʼest lundi. Moi, je nʼaime pas les lundis. Lundi cʼest quand le weekend finit et lʼécole commence. La maîtresse dit quʼon doit sʼasseoir et ne pas parler et quʼil y a un mauvais homme qui est très dangereux. Clotaire, qui est le dernier de la classe, commence à pleurer et Rufus dit que son père va arrêter le mauvais homme et après Eudes dit quʼil va donner un coup de poing à Clotaire sʼil nʼarrête pas de pleurer et que nous allons mourir sʼil n'arrête pas. Agnan dit quʼil va mourir et Geoffrey, son père est très riche, dit que son père va être très fâché. Et Alceste commence à pleurer parce qu'il nʼaura rien à manger. Mais alors le directeur entre et dit: «Pardon c'est un “faux alarme”. »

Today is Monday. I donʼt like Mondays. Monday is when the weekend comes to an end and school starts. The teacher says that we need to sit down and be silent, and there is a bad man who is very dangerous. Clotaire, who is last in class, starts to cry, and Rufus says his father will stop the bad man and after Eudes says he will punch Clotaire if he doesnʼt stop crying and that we will all die if he doesnʼt stop. Agnan says he is going to die and Geoffrey says his father, who is very rich, will be very mad. And Alceste starts to cry because he will have nothing to eat. But then the principal walks in and says ”My apologies it was a ʻfalse alarm.ʼ”

Le Jardin The Garden Akemi Davies (’19) Le quartier est plein de jardins. Il y a beaucoup de papillons, de fleurs, et dʼoiseaux. Cʼest beau. Je cours par le jardin et mange une pomme. Il nʼy a pas de gratte-ciels, juste la nature et les maisons. The neighborhood is full of gardens. There are a lot of butterflies, flowers, and birds. It is beautiful. I run through the garden and eat an apple. There are no skyscrapers, just nature and houses.

Nicolas en 2015 Nicolas in 2015 Holly Berwick (’17) Aujourdʼhui, dans la classe, Agnan était le maître, car la maîtresse était malade et elle ne vient pas à lʼécole. Cʼétait amusant car nous avons joué aux jeux vidéos sur nos i-pads et Agnan nous a dit «Arrêtez!». Jʼai envoyé un texto, un rire emoji, à Clotaire, et il a envoyé des lunettes emoji. Agnan était très furieux et il a dit «Vous êtes très mal les garçons!», mais nous avons ri et Geoffroy a pris une vidéo dʼAgnan sur son i-phone 6s+. Quand le Bouillon est revenu, il nous a donné une retenue. Jʼai ma retenue demain et je vais nettoyer le laboratoire dʼinformatique et donner mes instruments électroniques au Bouillon pour deux semaines.

Today, in class, Agnan was the teacher because the teacher was sick and she did not come to school. This was funny because we just played video games on our i-pads and Agnan said to us “Stop!” I sent a text of a laughing emoji to Clotaire, and he sent me the glasses emoji. Agnan was really mad, and he said “You guys are very bad boys!” but we just laughed and Geoffroy took a video of Agnan on his i-phone 6s+. When the Bouillon came back, he gave us a detention. I have my detention tomorrow, and I am going to clean the computer lab and give my electronics to the Bouillon for two weeks.

Juste une Aventure Just an Adventure Adelaida Cazin (’17)

Une bière, deux bières, trois bières. Il y a presque quarante ans que jʼai vu lʼamour de ma vie, elle s'appelle Louisette. Je suis déprimé car hier elle est sortie de ma vie, maintenant je ne veux pas vivre. Cʼétait un samedi soir, elle était en ville, il y avait beaucoup de feux d'artifice, je lʼai invitée dʼaller avec moi car nous ne nous étions pas vus depuis que nous étions des petits enfants. Depuis quʼelle était sortie de ma maison je ne voulais pas avoir de petites amies, je nʼai jamais embrassé de fille, je voulais qu'elle soit ma première. Et hier elle était ma première, sous les feux dʼartifice nous nous sommes embrassés, nous avons dansé, nous avons parlé pendant des heures et des heures. Je suis tombé amoureux, elle me rajeunit. Quand la nuit sʼest couchée, je lui ai demandé si elle voulait mʼépouser, et elle a dit: « Vous êtes fous? Cʼest une aventure, jʼai déjà quelquʼun que jʼaime!!!». Depuis je suis malheureux parce que personne ne mʼaime, jʼai cinquante ans, suis célibataire, deprimé, et je bois du matin au soir. Une bière, deux bières, trois bières.

Passeport

One beer, two beers, three beers. Itʼs been almost 40 years since I saw the love of my life, her name was Louisette. I am depressed because yesterday she walked out of my life; now I donʼt want to live. It was a Saturday night, she was in town, there were many fireworks, I invited her to come with me because we hadnʼt seen each other since we were little kids. Since she left my house I never wanted girlfriends, I never had my first kiss, I wanted her to be my first. And yesterday she was my first, underneath the fireworks we kissed, we danced, and we talked for hours. I fell in love, she made me feel young. Later on that night, I asked her if she wanted to marry me, and she said: “Are you crazy? This is just an adventure, I already have someone else I like!!!” Since then I have been sad because no one likes me, I am 50, single, and depressed, I drink from morning to night. One beer, two beers, three beers.

Nicolas rencontre Louisette Nicolas Meets Louisette Holly Berwick (’17)

Cʼest lʼanniversaire de la maman de Nicolas. Elle a 85 ans, donc Nicolas veut être avec elle. Quand Nicolas arrive à la maison, il voit la voiture de la maman de Louisette. Bien sûr, il pense, la maman de Nicolas et la maman de Louisette sont de très bonnes amies. Avant quʼil va dans la maison, il voit Louisette sortir de la voiture. Elle a les mêmes yeux bleus, et cheveux jaunes, mais elle nʼa pas de tresses comme quand ils étaient petits. «Bonjour Nicolas» elle dit, «Bonjour Louisette» il dit avec un sourire. «où est ta mère?» demande Nicolas. «Elle est à la maison avec ta mère» elle dit. Ils vont dans la maison et parlent des années, et la maman de Nicolas est très heureuse de les voir ensemble après beaucoup de temps. Louisette et sa mère donnent un beau gâteau à la maman de Nicolas! «Cʼest magnifique!» maman dit. «Oui, merci Louisette» Nicolas dit. «Ce nʼest pas un problème, je vous dois pour toutes les choses que jʼai faites il y a des années.»

Passeport

It is Nicolasʼs motherʼs birthday. She is 85 years old, so Nicolas wants to be with her. When Nicolas arrives at the house, he sees Louisetteʼs motherʼs car. “Of course!” he thinks; Nicolasʼs mother and Louisetteʼs mother are very good friends. Before he goes into the house, he sees Louisette get out of the car. She has the same blue eyes and blonde hair, but it isnʼt in braids like when they were small. “Hello Nicolas,” she says. “Hello Louisette,” Nicolas says with a smile. “Where is your mother?” asks Nicolas. “She is in the house with your mother,” she says. They go in the house and talk about the years, and Nicolasʼs mother is very happy to see them together after so much time. Louisette gives a beautiful cake to Nicolasʼs mother. “Itʼs magnificent!” Mother says. “Yes, thank you Louisette” Nicolas says. “Itʼs no problem, I owe you for all the things I have did so many years ago.”

Mari: Hi, I’m Mari. Emma: Hi, I’m Emma, Do you live close or far from the school? Mari: I live close to school.

茉莉：我家离学校近。

Emma: That is convenient.

艾玛：真方便。

Mari: But, my house is very small. My room can fit only one person. The room is very hot, because it doesn’t have air conditioning. My room has three book shelves. There are many books on the shelves. I have one closet in my room with some clothes hanging in it. Next to the bookshelves is my bed. There is a desk in front of my bed, and also one chair. Next to that I have one very small window, but no wind comes through. On my desk I have a fan and a lamp. I really like my room because it is very quiet and comfortable. The house I live in is also close to restaurants and stores. Do you live in a small or big house?

茉莉：可是我的家很小。我的房间只能住一个人。房间真热，因为没有空调。我的房间里有三个书架。书架上有很多书。还有一个衣柜，衣柜里挂着一些衣服。书架旁边是我的床。床前边有书，还有一把椅子。房间有一个窗户。窗户不大，风不能进来。书上摆着一个电风扇，还有一个小电灯。我很喜欢我的房间，因为它很安静，很舒服。我家很方便，因为离饭馆儿和商店很近。你家大还是小？艾玛：我家离学校很远。车去学校需要四十五分钟。我家很大，有五间室和三间浴室。我的房间总是很冷。因为我的空调一直着。我的房间里没有书架。我有个衣柜，里面都是我的衣服。我的子和椅子都摆在我的窗前。我的床在子的左边。我也很爱我的房间，里面都是我喜欢的东西。我住的房子离商店不远，也靠近一些馆儿。

Emma: My house is far away from school. It takes 45 minutes to get to school. My house is big, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. My room is always cold. I always have my air conditioner on. I don’t have any book shelves in my room. I have two closets that hold all my clothes. I have a table and chair in front of my window. My bed is on the left side of my desk. I also love my room; it has everything I love inside of it. The house I live in is far from stores but close to a couple of restaurants. Mari: I really want your house! Emma: You can come over anytime!

妹妹，

Dear Meimei,

你好。学校好吗？这个学期我有四节课。我的第一节课是生物课，第二节课是中文课，第三节课是英文课，第四节课是体育课。

Hi! Was school good? This term I have 4 classes. My first class is Biology, next is Chinese, then English, and lastly PE.

我平常不喜欢上学，因为我必须早早起床，但是我很喜欢这学期的课。中文课是我最喜欢的。你最喜欢的课是什么？明天是周末，所以我有空，我想去买东西。我知道你也喜欢去买东西，所以想问你想不想和我一起去买衣服？还是你想做点的？我有很多长裤和毛衣，所以我想买T恤衫和短裤。我也想买一双鞋，因为我的鞋被我压坏了。我们先去购物，然后再一起去吃午，怎么样？我请客。我希望你能来。祝好! 再见，凯色琳

I usually don't like to go to school because I have to wake up early, but I really like this term's classes. Chinese is my favorite. What is your favorite class? Tomorrow is the weekend, so I have free time; I want to go shopping. I know you like to go shopping, so do you want to go clothes shopping with me? Or do you want to do something else? I have a lot of long pants and long sleeve shirts, so I want to buy t-shirts and shorts. I also want to buy a pair of slippers because I broke my other ones. First we go shopping, then we go to eat lunch together; how does that sound? My treat. I hope you can come. Best wishes! Bye, Kelsey

Brittany:

你好，好久不见，你好吗？我一直很忙，但是我这个星期有空，因为学校放假。所以我想约你一起去吃和看电影。我希望你能来，我准备了你的生日礼物要拿给你，因为我错过了上星期的生日派对。我想祝你迟来的生日快乐！你今年多大了？我不记得你是比我大一岁还是比我小。不管怎样，你的学校怎么样？我的学校很小，只有女孩。这个学期我一直很忙，而且我每课都有期末考试。我有四课，世界文化，中文课，几何和文学。世界文化是很容易的，但在上午上课，所以我总是觉得很累。下一节是中文课，我觉得中文有点儿难，因为我觉得中国字很难，我写得中国字也不漂亮。然后，我有一个非常喜欢也觉得有点儿困难的数学课。我很喜欢数学，所以跟我的同学比起来，我觉得数学比较容易。最后一节课是文学，对我来说很难，因为我不擅长写论文，而且有太多的词汇要记。不管怎样，我该准备去吃好

饭了。祝

Hello long time no see, how are you? I have been very busy, but I’m free this week, since school is on break. So I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner and watch a movie with me. I hope you can come so I can give you your birthday gift, because I missed your party last week. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!! How old are you now? I can’t remember if you’re a year older or a year younger than I. Anyways, how is your school? My school is very small and there are only girls there. This term is what makes me busy all the time, because I have final exams for every class. I only have four classes, World Cultures, Chinese, Geometry, and Literature. World Cultures is very easy, but class starts in the morning, so I am always tired in that class. Next is Chinese and that class is a little hard because I have a hard time remembering characters and my handwriting is ugly. Then, I have Geometry which really hard, but I like math and I am good at it, so it is easier for me than it is for my classmates. Last is Literature and it is very hard for me because I am not good at writing papers, and there is too much vocabulary to remember. Anyways, I should save some of the talking for dinner. Wish you the best. Your friend, Angelina

爸爸，你好 Hello Dad

I hope it was good! I am looking forward to riding our horses together tomorrow. I can't wait to go and explore the trails with you. I hope you do not mind a long ride. I want to ride for as long as the sun is up. Maybe after we can go and get dinner? Where do you want to eat? I love our dinners together; they are really special to me. After that we could possibly go see a movie together. Are there any movies that you want to see? I heard that there are some good movies out, but it is up to you to pick the movie! I can’t wait to have our day together; it has been a long time since we had a day that was spent with each other. I am going to miss our time together when I leave for college. I hope you come and visit me in college regularly. If you come up we can ride horses in the state parks together. Would you be interested in that? I think that you coming up to visit me would be fun for you and me both! We can take the horses trail riding on long weekends through the mountains and cook our food on the fire. Where do you think would be a good park for our first weekend ride? Maybe Horsetooth Trail would be a good spot for our first weekend ride. We can talk about all of this tomorrow at dinner! Have a great day!! I love you Dad! -Paris

It’s a lovely day, don’t you agree? Hu Hui Qing: Yes, the sky is so clear and blue. The park has such a peaceful atmosphere. *looks down at picnic* Oh, what a lovely picnic! I can’t believe you did all this for me. Fu Cong Ming: Oh, it was nothing. I just wanted us to have a nice lunch together. Hu Hui Qing: You’re too kind. Well, let’s see what you packed. Fu Cong Ming: I brought sandwiches, fruits, vegetables, quiche, iced tea, wine, and so on. Hu Hui Qing: Wow, thank you so much! -- sits -Hu Hui Qing: Fu Cong Ming, have you finished choosing your classes for next semester? Fu Cong Ming: I have chosen an American History class and a political science class. As for the other two, I haven’t decided. What about you?

I would be so tired all the time. How do you do it? Hu Hui Qing: Actually, it’s not that difficult. I wake up an hour early to prepare for my classes and go to work after my classes. After work, I’m usually tired, so I go to bed as soon as I get home. Fu Cong Ming: That still sounds a little difficult. Where do you work? Hu Hui Qing: I work at the campus coffee shop. Fu Cong Ming: Really? Maybe I’ll come visit you at work sometime. Hu Hui Qing: I would be very happy to see you. Can I ask you what your favorite thing to do is? Fu Cong Ming: I have a favorite hobby, but I don’t normally tell people. Hu Hui Qing: Come on, you can tell me. I won’t laugh. Fu Cong Ming: I like to dance, especially the waltz. Dancing is both fun and good for my health. Hu Hui Qing: That’s very interesting! I wouldn’t have been able to tell from looking at you. We need to go dancing together later. Fu Cong Ming: That sounds great! Now, let’s eat lunch. Would you like a sandwich? Hu Hui Qing: Okay. What kind of sandwich is it? Fu Cong Ming: Egg salad Hu Hui Qing: Egg salad! I can’t believe you eat animal products! Do you know how they treat the animals, and how bad it is for the environment?! No wonder I had a strange feeling about you. I’m breaking up with you. Fu Cong Ming: Oh no! I apologize! I didn’t know you don’t eat animal products! Please don’t be angry with me! Hu Hui Qing: IT’S TOO LATE TO APOLOGIIIIIIZE. IT’S TOO LAAAATE. Our interests are not the same. Goodbye! [walks away] Fu Cong Ming: One minute she was here, and the next she was gone! I want to cry.
