Chapter 4B

I feel like Americans have busier days than French people do. We work longer hours everyday and have more to spend our time on. I know that we have simliar things like meal breaks and such, but the French just seem to have more leisure time. Military time is not very common where I'm from. I know that nurses and doctors use military time so it's easier to distinguish am from pm on documents and such, but other than that I don't really know of any other place that uses military time regularly. I use the 12hour time clock. This is what I was taught and what makes the most sense to me. I'm from the middle of nowhere Missouri, we don't have fashion events. The closest thing I can think of is prom, where all of the high schoolers dress up in pretty outfits. Prom's an annual event and you usually have to be in high school to participate, unless there's some special exception. Fashion events can boost the economy if lots of people are buying the clothing items on display. Exchange of money and goods is always a good thing. Fashion has a pretty significant cultural impact on us and the countries around us because it shows everyone what the best thing to wear is or what's trending or whatever it may be. We learn what's culturally appropriate to wear and do by looking at the fashion from each country. 146,300+ Fashion Design Silhouette Stock Illustrations, Royalty-Free Vector Graphics & Clip Art - iStock https://images.app.goo.gl/7zKfWfuSZkdfYdRv8

So, I have a very blended family and I thought that the best way to show this would be through two different trees. This tree starts with my paternal grand-pére, Merl Farmer and my grand-mére, Darlene. Merl as 68 ans e Darlene décédé. Merl and Darlene had cinq enfants: Vanessa, Jeremiah, Jackie, Felicia and CLyde. Vanessa, mon taunt, as 45 ans. Jeremiah, mon pére, as 43 ans. Jackie, mon taunt, as 38 ans. Felicia, mon taunt,décédé. Clyde, mon oncle, as 35 ans. The other side of the tree is my maternal grandparents, my grand-pére, Larry and my grand-mére, Brenda. Brenda and Larry had deux enfants: Adriane and Nathan. Larry as 70 ans e Brenda décédé. Mon oncle, Nathan e mon mére, Adriane décédé aussi. But, my dad Jeremiah and my mom Adriane had quatre enfants: Natasha, Sara, Tori (me) and Joey. Natasha, mon soeur, as 28 ans. Sara, mon soeur, as 21 ans. Mai jai dix-neuf ans. Joey, mon frére, as 13 ans. But, because my mother passed away, my dad remarried and I have step siblings...

Chapter Préliminaire (part B)

         Bonjour! That's how you would say hello to someone else in French. Another, less formal, way to say hello is to say "Salut!" When you're saying hello to a friend, you can kiss their cheeks, this is called la bise. This would be similar to a hug when greeting your friend in American culture. A more formal greeting would be a handshake, but this is usually reserved for bosses or someone along those lines. The words "tu" and "vous" both mean you, but "vous" is the formal version among the two. So, you would greet your boss with  handshake while saying to them, "Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?" which means "Hello! How are you?" greeting your boss greeting a friend     It surprised me that  French children are enrolled in school at a very young age and how strict their school system seems.
