Etudiez bien les regies de grammaire et vous arriverez bientot a eviter (avoid) les erreura les plus communes. Ce n'est pas trop difficle, la grammaire. Mais la prononciation. qa e’est autre chose. Les liaisons! II faut beaucoup de travaille pour les conquerir. II est, cependant, tres amusant d’essayer a s’exprimer (try to express yourself) dans une lan-gue etrangere (foreign) et le franqais est une belle langue. Edna Gilson. Franqais I Je suis arrive a la petite cabane des Boy Scouts et a ma grande surprise j'ai remarque de la fumee qui sortait de la cheminee. Y avait-il quelqu’un dans la cabane? Je suis alle doucement a la fenetre, j’ai regarde dans l’interieur, et qu’est-ce que j’ai vu? Janet Abare qui preparait son diner. Elle avait une grande poele et elle etait en train de faire cuire du lard, des pommes de terre, des biscuits et de la confiture. Quelle combinaison! Elle m’a invite a diner avec elle. Tout d’un coup j’ai entendu un petit bruit pres de la fenetre. C’etait un lapin. J’ai pris vite mon fusil! Je suis sorti! Je l’ai tue. Alors Janet, la cuisiniere habile, a prepare un bon ragout de lapin et nous 1’avons mange ensemble. Apres le diner nous avons grimpe le “Buck Mountain.” Nous nous sommes beaucoup amuses. Clyde Badger.
