Dans mon temps libre, j’aime beaucoup faire les sports de plein air, comme courir ou faire du vélo. Je déteste les sports comme le yoga ou le golf parce que je les trouve ennuyeux. Je vais aussi au parc une fois par semaine avec mes amis pour jouer au foot. Après les cours, je fais mes devoirs et écoute de la musique pendant que j’étudie.

Translate the text into French.

I go ice-skating on Mondays and Wednesdays and I play basket-ball on Fridays. My brother and I play tennis on Saturdays and I win every time! However, he is younger than me and he is improv-ing every week, so I think he will win soon. Apart from sport, I like cooking a lot because it relaxes me.

Translate the text into English.

Je fais du patinage sur glace le lundi et le mercredi et je joue au basket le vendredi. Mon frère et moi jouons au tennis le samedi et je gagne chaque fois ! Pourtant, il est plus jeune que moi et il s’améliore chaque semaine, donc je pense qu’il gagnera bientôt. À l'exception du sport, j'aime beaucoup cuisiner parce que ça me détend.

In my free time I really like doing sports outdoors, like running or riding a bike. I hate sports like yoga or golf because I find them boring. I also go to the park once a week with my friends to play football. After class I do my homework and listen to music while I study.

Dans ma ville il y a un centre commercial. Le week-end j’aime faire les magasins avec mes copains, mais récemment le centre-ville est un peu vide. Beaucoup de magasins ont fermé et les rues ne sont pas aussi pleines qu’avant. Je pense que c’est la faute des boutiques en ligne. C’est plus facile de faire les magasins avec internet. À l’avenir je pense que tout le monde fera du shopping en ligne.

Il y a un centre commercial dans ma ville. Le samedi j’aime faire les magasins avec ma copine. Récemment j’ai acheté un nouveau portable. C’était trop cher. Je ne sais pas si on va sortir la semaine prochaine parce que je n’ai pas d’argent maintenant. J’adore la nouvelle technologie – si j’avais beaucoup d’argent, j’achèterais un nouvel ordinateur. 

There is a shopping centre in my town. On Saturdays I like going shopping with my friend. Recently, I bought a new phone. It was too expensive. I don’t know if we are going to go out next weekend, because I don’t have any money now. I love new technology – if I had lots of money, I would buy a new computer.

Translate the text into English.

In my town there is a shopping centre. At the weekends I like going shopping with my friends, but recently the town centre is a bit empty. Many shops have closed down and the streets are not as busy as before. I think it is the fault of online shops. It’s easier to shop with the internet. In the future I think that everyone will do their shopping online.
