Heya! ♥

As an english homework, we had to write an essay about an incident that happened! Therefore, I decided to put it on the blog! So, here's the story:

I can still remember very well that one day that could have turned out really badly. Everything happened six years ago, I was only eight years old. For the summer holidays, my family and I decided to go in Auvaergne for three weeks so we could take it easy and have fun together.  We lent a lovely house with a pool in the back garden by the mountains, the view was breathtakingly beautiful. We were doing awesome visits everyday such as walking around a volcano.

One day, it was really warm and my sisters and I wanted to do something else than swimming. Therefore, my parents looked for an amusing place to go and decided to bring us summer tobogganing as it was near from the house. I was really excited and looking foward to trying eventhough I didn't have a clue aboutwhat it was. What a silly girl I was! When we got there, I could see some "small cars" (like for bumper cars) on a track. The ride appeared to be quite long; I was looking at it with desire. In the cars, I was able to see a lever. The instructor explained me that whenever I want to accelerate, I have to pull it and when I want to slow down, I have to push it. As I wanted to try first, I pushed my sisters out of my way and I went into a car. My mother was a bit scared because she thought the slide was going very high at times. Furthermore, I didn't even have a helmet to ptotect my head in case I'd take a tumble. I was in the middle of the course which is the highest part when suddenly, it started raining. My parents were panicked and extremely anxious. The track was getting reallywet and slippery. The instructors didn't bother and said it was fine. As there was a long slop, I was going down and the speed of the car was raising. I didn't remeber how to slow down so I did at random: I pulled the lever as hard as I could. Unfortunately, I didn't slow down but I accelerated.. I was going so fast that when I arrived at the end of the course, I hit another car in front of me, got ejected, landed on a stone wall and finally fell down. My parents were screaming and came to me straight away. My face was bleeding and I couldn't open my left eye. At this moment, I thought I was about to die and so did my parents. My sisters didn't really know what was going on they they only were looking at me. I tried to stand up but in vain, so we called an ambulance and they brought me to the hospital. The summer toboggan club apologized but my mother told them they were irresponsible for the lack of safety. Fortunately, I didn't have anything serious on my body but a huge hematoma on my left eye; it was so sore and painful! I was like disfigured, it looked terrible! I had to stay in bed with a bag of ice cubes during the two following weeks, such a pity! I was so disappointed though to not be able to go outside with my family and enjoy the rest of my holidays.

When I think about it now, I feel so lucky to still be alive§ The doctor said that I could have spent the rest of my life in a wheelchair. I can't comlplain about it, it could have been way worse! Now, I want to enjoy my life as much as I can because we don't know what tomorrow brings..

Hi everybody! :D

My new article is going to talk about Germany's capital city! Have you guessed? It's Berlin of course! This city is situated in the North-East of Germany and it's quite big as there are 3.5 millions of inhabitants!  So, let me explain you! Three weeks ago, everybody in my year that's in European section got to go to Berlin for a week at their penpals'!! I think it's a great opportunity to meet people from another country with differents ways of living. In September, our penpals also came for a week in Rennes so we got to meet them and have fun with them, it was really nice! To go to Germany, we had twenty hours of drive though, which is a lot! :/ It's really annoying and exhausting after a while, but to be honest, I was really looking foward to seeing the penpals (apart from mine..). Let me introduce her to you! 

So, my penpal is called Sherin Belhing and she's 14, just like me! She's tall and slim. She has short blond and straight hair with nice blue eyes. In September, when I finally got her e-mail adress, I sent her a mail straight away, and we were getting on really well. When we were chatting on Facebook, she was putting a lot of smileys and some hearts. I thought she was really nice and I loved the fact that she was really outgoing, just like me. And then, when she came to France in September, she was a bit shy and we didn't talk much. For example, on the way home or the way to school, we didn't have anything to tell eachother which was very annoying and boring at times! :/ To tell you the truth, I was really disappointed. But on the other hand, whenever we were talking together, she was really nice, so I can't say I didn't like her at all. 

Anyway, so, as I've already told you, three weeks ago we were going to Berlin! I was really tired as I only slept 30 minutes!! :/When we arrived in front of our penpals' school at 4 where they were waiting for us, I could see through the window that Sherin was there with her mother, sister and friends. Oh yea, I have forgotten to tell you, Sherin has a sister aged 11 and she's amazing at english, she's nearly fluent, that's so good!  She's really outgoing and funny. I often talked with her! When I got out of the bus, I took my suitcase and bags and I came to Sherin straight away. We said hello and her mother told me ''Welcome in Berlin'', which was really nice to hear! Then, we got in the car and I got to meet her, she was really kind! Afterwards, we arrived at Sherin's home. She lives in a really nice district. It kinda reminds me of the serie ''Desperate Housewives''. Sherin's mother explained me that before the houses were built, there used to be a big football course, so the grass was really nice, shiny and greenful!  Then, they showed me the house and the differents rooms in it. It was quite big! The bedroom they lent me must have been the biggest room in the whole house to be honest! I had my own stage, imagine! I think I was very lucky! :P After tidying my clothes in my bedroom, Sherin, her mother and Sarah brought me to a supermarket. They wanted me to choose everything I wanted to eat during the week and that I wanted for my lunch on schooldays. I thought that was really nice of them. I remember that she asked me what I wanted in my sandwiches, so I said ''Ham, please'', and she answer back ''Ok.. but.. what type of ham?'', I replied, ''You know, ehm.. normal.. ham!'', and she showed me all this cooked meat! It was quite funny!  Afterwards, we went back home and I finally met Sherin's father! He's lovely and a bit shy, just like her daughter:Sherin! We had dinner and then I played a game with Sarah and Sherin, we had a lot of fun, I won several times. Then, at 9, we went to the opera to drop Sarah as she's an actress there! I think she's really young for it!! While this time, Sherin, her parents and I had a walk in the main avenues of Berlin. They showed me the most famous places and explained me the story of that city. It was really interesting! At 11, we came back to the opera to pick up Sarah! But she wasn't there yet so we had to wait for her. As it was getting quite long, we went to the opera's restaurant where all the actors are and eat. They made me try Bretzels which is very popular in Berlin! I liked it, it was nice enough!  Then, when she was finally there, we got home, it was midnight, and I was so tired that... I even fell asleep in the car! :P So, Sherin woke me up when we were arrived! I went to bed straight away and thanked Sherin's parents for what we've done! On Sunday, the following day, I woke up quite late as I was exhausted from the Saturday evening. At 12, we left home to go to a mini golf club witn Gaëlle-Anne, Marine and their penpals. When we got their, we noticed that it was closed (I was happy because I didn't want to play mini golf). So instead, we had a walk near a lake in a little ''village''. They made us try ''Bubble tea''. It's a really special drink. You choose a flavour for the juice you want and then you choose another flavour for the ''balls''. And then when it's in your mouth, it kinda bursts, it was nice!  Then we got home and we all played dars. It was soooooooooo boring! :/ The penpals were looking and laughing at us when we didn't even know why! :/ And Sherin was really shy! She almost never talked when I was in Germany! :O Way more than when she came to France. We never got to have a proper conversation together which was such a pity. I was trying to talk to her but whenever I was, she was either answering by ''Yes'' or ''No''! :/ Anyway, at 4, Delya, Annah and their penpals came at Sherin's and we had a walk. Then we stayed in a park for about an hour and a half. Something's really weird in Germany.. they don't have lunch! So all the french people were starving in the afternoon! At 4, we had cupcakes though. At 6,everybody left and the father brought Sherin, Sarah and I in Berlin to a retaurant. They made me trying ''Currywurst''. It's typical from Berlin. It's a sausage with curry and salt on it with ketchup. And then, there are french fries with mayonnaise or ketchup! It was nice but... I was full then!! On the following day, we went to the school. It took around 10 minutes by bus which is good!  We were really happy to all see eachother.. FINALLY! After one day and a half alone!!  And during the schooldays, we were doing visits in Berlin! On Monday night, Cécile, Daphné, Gaëlle-Anne and I went to our penpals' badminton lesson. We didn't get to play a lot though but I didn't mind at all!  And then all the days flew by. On Thurday, we finished at 3, and we had bowling at 6.20 so we had 3.20 hours free. I was with Rebecca (Ainara's penpal) a lot. She's my favourite German penpal. On Friday evening, I was really sad to leave my friends and Germany. I still talk with them, and I always will.

To conclude, I really liked Berlin! Most of the people that were there said that London was better but I can't really know as I didn't go there!

I hope it has interested you! You should really go to Germany, there are so much things to see! Bye! Guillemette !  ♥

Hi ! everyone ! :D  

I hope you're fine ! ♥  Well, one week ago, I think, my class and I were in ... BERLIN !!   You know, the German's capital ! ^^ At the beginnning, we lived the school in bus and we were going to have 20 hours of bus ! INCREDIBLE ! IMPOSSIBLE ! HORRIBLE ! but really funny ! ^^ When we arrived in Berlin, we met our penfriend and it was really great ! it was nice to see them again !

My penfriend is Patrizia Graf, alias Patty ! She's really nice and funny ! We laughted a lot together ! ^^

One day, I remember, we went for a walk in the evening, and she told me : " Do you want to drink something ?"  I answered : "Yes, why not !"

And she bought me a special drink called "Bubble tea" ! Well Bubble tea  is a drink which is really special !

It's a fruit juice  (orange, mango, strawberry...) with, in this, little bubbles, or balls, I don't know really ;) and you drink it, and when it's in your mouth, you bit in this and it exploses in your mouth ! ^^ That's really strange, but it's funny and I love it know ! :D

I hope, Bubble Tea will come soon in Rennes ! ^^ ♥♥

I wish you to try it ! ;)

Hello! :D ♥
From the 19th to the 21st of March, I have done my work experience in the marketing and packaging company of Yves Rocher. It's situated in la Gacilly in Morbihan. I started every morning at 9 and finished in the evening at 5. There was another school girl with me who also was doing a work experience, she was really nice and I'm actually really glad she was there otherwise, I would have been really bored! :/ So, on the first day, I was with people working in the marketing, I've really enjoyed it! They were just so nice! On the second day, I was in the labo with chemists, they were working and experimenting on products, that was really interesting but to tell you the truth I hate chemistry. They were working on a coconut shampo, there were some bubbles in it, so they had to improve the recipe. And finally, on my last day, I was in the factory, it was very surprising, huge machines all around! :D I got to see how products are made, it was going really fast! First of all, the bottles come, then the creams come in, after the stopper goes on top of the bottle, then the label was stuck on each side of the bottle and finally, a machine put them all in a cardboard box.

To conclude, I wanna say that I've really enjoyed my work experience! I thought it was so interesting and I would really love to do it again! :D My tutor was so welcoming and I wanna thank him so much for what he's done to me during these three days!

The picture just below has won a;price for the best advertisment in cosmetics. I put it on the front page on my work experience's report and I wrote above it ''Yves Rocher, une entreprise qui m'a tendue la main''

I hope this new article has interested you a lot, and see you in a new one! :D Bye, Guillemette ♥
