16 7 Looking for work You see this appeal on a job website. Je m appelle Magali Deschamel. J ai 16 ans et je cherche un emploi pour les grandes vacances. J habite dans la banlieue de Lyon et l idéal serait de trouver quelque chose dans la ville, car je ne veux pas travailler trop loin de chez moi. Je suis prête à faire beaucoup de choses, mais je préférerais travailler à l intérieur, dans un bureau par exemple. Pour mon stage j ai passé deux semaines dans un magasin de vêtements. J ai aimé servir les gens, mais c était mal payé. L année dernière, en été, j ai trouvé un boulot dans une ferme près de chez moi. J ai fait une grande variété de choses, mais ce que j ai trouvé difficile, c était de me lever si tôt tous les jours. J étais épuisée. Tout de même, à mon avis, je suis travailleuse et aimable, et je m entends bien avec les personnes avec qui je travaille. Si quelqu un pouvait m offrir un petit job pour juillet et août, ça me rendrait très heureuse. Répondez à md45@hotmail.com

18 8 Shopping in Canada Pendant mon séjour à Montréal j ai remarqué plusieurs différences entre la France et le Canada. Montréal est une très grande ville où on voit pas mal de grandes surfaces et de boutiques de mode, plus que dans les grandes villes françaises mais beaucoup moins que dans celles des Etats-Unis. En été il fait très chaud mais l hiver est dur et long. Les températures baissent jusqu à moins 30 degrés. Cependant, malgré le temps, il reste possible de vivre sans sortir dans la neige pendant tout l hiver. En effet, la plupart des immeubles ont accès direct au réseau du métro, avec lequel on peut arriver vite aux entrées souterraines des grands magasins, qui ne changent pas leurs heures d ouverture.
