TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of apology encompass a range of tones and levels of formality. In everyday conversation, one might simply say "sorry" or "my bad" to acknowledge a mistake. When the apology is sincere, phrases like "I sincerely apologize" and "I'm truly sorry" convey the depth of regret. In informal settings, a more casual approach may be taken with expressions like "I messed up" or "oops, I'm sorry," adding a touch of camaraderie. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I offer my most sincere apologies" or "please accept my formal apology," while emphasizing the depth of regret. Politeness tempers the apology in expressions such as "I'm so sorry" and "please forgive me," demonstrating a genuine desire for reconciliation. A touch of wit adds a layer of humor to the apology, as seen in expressions like "I'm on the apology tour" or "I'm in hot water." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their regret with statements like "I must express my profound regret" or "please accept my sincerest apologies," maintaining an air of warmth. For royalty, an apology is conveyed with grace and respect, as in "I extend my most heartfelt apologies" or "please accept my deepest regrets," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

Presentarse (A1)

“As I live in a pretty small town, I haven't had the opportunity to meet many people from different countries or cultures, but I've had the pleasure of getting to know James, an English teacher from the UK. 

James hails from London, and moved here about 2 years ago to work as an English tutor in one of the local high schools. I guess he’s in his mid-twenties, and being one of the few foreigners here, has become a kind of local celebrity. 

The first time I met James was at an English corner, which was held at one of the local coffee shops in town. I saw it advertised, and decided to go along, as I really needed to brush up on my English speaking skills. I remember, I was the first to arrive, and introduced myself to James, and was immediately taken aback when he started to introduce himself in the local dialect! 

We got chatting, and hit it off from the start, getting along like a house on fire. Not only did it turn out that we were both football fanatics, but also shared the same taste in music. 

We have since become the best of mates, and hang out at least once or twice a week. I really love chatting to him, and getting to learn all about English culture, as well as sharing different aspects of my own culture with him. I have great respect for James, as he has really made an effort to immerse himself into the local culture here. On top of that, getting to know him has been a real eye opener, and helped to dispel any negative cultural stereotypes.”

Déprime ou dépression_dictée_transcription

DÉPRIME OU DÉPRESSION ?

Dictée

On confond souvent la déprime et la dépression. En effet, il est important de différencier ces deux termes.
La déprime est un état passager qui se manifeste par une mauvaise humeur, de la tristesse, de la fatigue, des insomnies, une baisse de motivation, ou encore une perte d'appétit sur le court terme. On peut etre déprimé quand on fait face à des événements difficiles, tels que crise de couple, conflits professionnels, soucis de santé, etc.
En revanche, la dépression est une maladie mentale qui dure. Sur le long terme, la dépression entraîne une vision négative de soi et du monde, accompagnée du sentiment de désespoir et de détresse.
