Bea & Patrick road trip
When we arrive at Chicago airport, we get the rental car and we drive to the hotel.
We take the key to our room at the hotel
We have a problem, the sheets are not clean. We tell the receptionist.
Because of the trip, we are tired.
We unpack and we set up.
We visit the Harry Ford Museum.
Sometimes we have problems with English word  pronunciation.
After, we look for a hotel
I take pictures/photograph and then I make montage.
I take approximately 600 pictures per trip with my Canon camera.
But it is heavy so Patrick doesn’t carry it.
I collect glasses from all the cities, post cards, registration plates. Bea collects jewelry.
We go to a restaurant. We take a table for 2.
We want to be inside but not below the air conditioning: nous voulons être à l’intérieur mais pas sous la climatisation
the waiter : ‘How do you like your meat?’
I like it medium well.
The teacher says we need to write before we talk or at least think about the sentence before we speak.

Professional email
Subject: Re: Study on Budget Allocation
Dear Mr Smith,
Thank you for your email and for entrusting me with this study. After analyzing the potential benefits of both options, I would like to share my thoughts.
Investing in making the company more environmentally friendly could enhance our reputation and attract more customers who value sustainability. This could lead to long-term brand loyalty and a stronger market position. However, the financial impact may take time to be fully realized. Moreover, this adjustment of our strategy would involve a substantial communication budget, that we would have to take into account.
On the other hand, prioritizing industrial production to increase profit margins would yield quicker financial returns. However, this approach might not meet growing consumer and regulatory expectations regarding environmental responsibility in a near future.
The environmentally friendly option appears to be the most appropriate option for our long-term development. I would be happy to discuss this further and explore possible solutions.
Best regards,
Samantha Clarington
Marketing Manager

Diving
Diving is an exciting water sport with many types. Scuba diving lets people explore the deep sea using a tank of air. Divers can see colorful fish, corals, and even shipwrecks. Free diving is diving without an air tank. Divers hold their breath and go deep for a short time. Snorkeling is a simple way to enjoy underwater life. People wear a mask and a tube (snorkel) to breathe while floating on the surface. Cliff diving is for adventure lovers. They jump from high cliffs into the water. Each type of diving is unique and fun!
