Hello everyone, j’espère que vous avez passé de bonnes vacances (...enfin) et que vous et vos proches vous portez bien.
Nous entamons aujourd’hui une nouvelle séquence! Je me suis basé sur certaines de vos conversations en classe qui portaient sur les actualités des membres de la famille royale anglaise, et je me suis dit: pourquoi pas?
L’idée de cette séquence sera de vous faire découvrir et mieux comprendre l'existence de la famille royale britannique et surtout répondre à la question suivante:
"IS THE BRITISH ROYALTY STILL RELEVANT?"
"Relevant"= pertinent. La Monarchie Britannique a-t-elle encore une utilité aujourd’hui? Pourquoi les Britanniques ont-ils encore besoin d’un roi ou d’une reine? Vous avez peut-être déjà quelques idées de réponses, mais nous allons explorer cela petit à petit...
To start nicely, let's talk about some facts about the British Royal Family. You can try to answer yourself (in the comment section) or by searching on the Internet (you can!)
