SHANNON: What a fantastic performance! Thank you for inviting 
me to the musical.
ELENA: You are welcome. I’m happy you enjoyed the show. 
The choreography of the dancers was incredible. It 
reminds me of when I used to dance.
SHANNON: I know! You were such a talented ballerina. Do you 
miss dancing?
ELENA: Oh, that’s very kind of you, Shannon. I do miss it 
sometimes. But I will always be a fan of the arts. That’s 
why I love going to musicals because it’s the perfect 
combination of song, dance and theater.
SHANNON: Absolutely! I’m glad you are still an art fan too. Thank 
you for the invitation. It’s always a pleasure to attend 
an arts event with you and learn something new


LANGUAGE NOTES
• You are welcome. Elena replies “You are welcome” in this dialogue. She could also say, 
“Don’t mention it,” which is an example of downgrading. Downgrading a compliment 
varies with culture. When in doubt, just say “You are welcome.”
• When getting a compliment to someone (for example: “You were such a talented
ballerina”), you can either accept the compliment (“That’s very kind of you”) or 
downplay the compliment (“Oh, I wasn’t that good”).
• Giving compliments in English often includes using superlatives (“the most …,” “the 
best …”). This is the best musical playing on Broadway! / What’s the most entertaining 
movie you’ve seen? However, compliments can also be given by using the construction 
“I’m a fan of …”: I’m a fan of the arts. / I’m a big fan of theater. / I’m a huge fan of this 
band. Notice the use of adjectives

Les crêpes
Minouchette, la chatte, s’ennuie.
- Si on faisait des crêpes ? suggère maman.
- Quelle bonne idée ! Je vais t’aider, promet Minouchette.
Après avoir mis la farine et les œufs dans un bol, on verse doucement le lait en remuant avec une cuillère en bois. Puis, on chauffe la poêle et on y dépose un peu de pâte. Pour qu’elle cuise de l'autre côté, on doit faire sauter la crêpe.
- Je peux essayer ? demande Minouchette.
Hop, la crêpe saute si haut qu’elle s’envole par la fenêtre et tombe sur la tête d’Oscar, le canard !
- Tu as un beau chapeau, lui dit son ami, et il sent bien bon !
