CHAPITRE 2 : L'HYGIÈNE AU MOYEN ÂGE

Dictée

L'eau est au cœur de la question de l’hygiène au Moyen Âge. Elle est disponible dans les villes grâce à la proximité des sources, telles que rivières, lacs et puits. Nous avons l'habitude de croire que l'homme au Moyen Âge est sale. C'est faux.  Cependant, l'eau courante est très rare et le bain quotidien n'est pas un plaisir accessible à tous. Un seigneur peut avoir dans son château l'eau courante et même une baignoire qu'il prend avec lui dans les voyages. Alors qu'un simple paysan ne connaît le bain que plusieurs fois par an. Malgré cela, il est obligatoire de se laver et surtout de se laver les mains avant et après le repas, car la plupart des gens mangent leurs repas sans couteaux, fourchettes ou cuillères.

Beginner Chinese Listening：我是谁？Who am I？

Beginner Chinese Listening

Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social life completely.'

Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says. 'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'

Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?
