LECTURE  Read the profile of the French sport pétanque, and answer the questions in English. La pétanque est un jeu de boules qui se pratique toujours à l’extérieur. En France, c’est le 8ème sport par le nombre de participants: il y a aujourd’hui 360 000 personnes qui pratiquent la pétanque. C’est un sport principalement masculin (seulement 14% des participants sont des femmes en France). C’est aussi un des rares sports avec des compétitions mixtes (des hommes et des femmes). Pour beaucoup de gens, la pétanque est juste un jeu. Elle est pratiquée en vacances en été, et elle est très appréciée par les retraités (retired people). Mais c’est un vrai sport, qui demande beaucoup de préparation pour être excellent. La pétanque est un sport populaire, amusant, qui n’est pas dangereux. Elle est pratiquée à tous âges et avec peu de matériel. La pétanque améliore (improves) les compétences suivantes : la concentration, la précision, la coordination et la sociabilité. Can pétanque be practiced indoors?______________________________________________________________________________

Le 1er mai Read the description below about the holiday celebrated in France on May 1st and answer the questions in English.  Le 1er mai est considéré comme la journée internationale des travailleurs ou la fête du Travail. À l’origine, cette journée était un jour annuel de grève (strike) pour réduire (shorten) le temps de travail. À l’heure actuelle, elle est célébrée dans de nombreux pays du monde mais il arrive parfois, comme c’est le cas en Amérique du Nord, qu’on la célèbre à un autre moment de l’année. Au début du 20ème siècle, les Français, les Suisses et les Belges ont pris l’habitude, à l’occasion du 1er mai, d’offrir aux amis et aux membres de la famille un petit bouquet de muguet (lily of the valley). Le muguet est le symbole du printemps et représente le retour de l’optimisme. Il est intéressant de remarquer que l’administration fiscale autorise la vente du muguet aux travailleurs sans formalités ni taxes (without regulation or tax) le 1er mai. Dans le code du travail, le 1er mai est devenu un jour férié et payé pour tous les salariés en 1947 mais c’est en avril 1948 qu’on adopte le nom officiel de «fête du Travail» en France. De nombreuses manifestations syndicales (trade union) sont organisées dans les grandes villes de France le 1er mai.   In what countries do people offer each other lily of the valley?   ______________________________________________________________________________
