Un Nouveau Etudiant A New Student Emma Oshiro (’19)

Un nouveau étudiant français écrit par erreur faire en tant que faier. Il

a ensuite continué à utiliser les -Er et -RE verbes incorrectement. La

police de grammaire lʼa emmené au tribunal pour être jugé. Il a été

trouvé coupable et a été mis en prison.

A new French student made a mistake in his writing. He then

continued to incorrectly use the -ER and -RE verbs. The grammar

police took him to court to be judged. He was found guilty and was

sent to prison.

Les LundisMondays

Adelaida Cazin (’17)

Cʼest lundi. Moi, je nʼaime pas les lundis. Lundi cʼest quand le weekend finit et

lʼécole commence. La maîtresse dit quʼon doit sʼasseoir et ne pas parler et quʼil y a un

mauvais homme qui est très dangereux. Clotaire, qui est le dernier de la classe,

commence à pleurer et Rufus dit que son père va arrêter le mauvais homme et après

Eudes dit quʼil va donner un coup de poing à Clotaire sʼil nʼarrête pas de pleurer et que

nous allons mourir sʼil n'arrête pas. Agnan dit quʼil va mourir et Geoffrey, son père est

très riche, dit que son père va être très fâché. Et Alceste commence à pleurer parce

qu'il nʼaura rien à manger. Mais alors le directeur entre et dit: «Pardon c'est un “faux

alarme”. »

Today is Monday. I donʼt like Mondays. Monday is when the weekend comes to

an end and school starts. The teacher says that we need to sit down and be silent, and

there is a bad man who is very dangerous. Clotaire, who is last in class, starts to cry,

and Rufus says his father will stop the bad man and after Eudes says he will punch

Clotaire if he doesnʼt stop crying and that we will all die if he doesnʼt stop. Agnan says he

is going to die and Geoffrey says his father, who is very rich, will be very mad. And

Alceste starts to cry because he will have nothing to eat. But then the principal walks in

and says ”My apologies it was a ʻfalse alarm.ʼ”

Le JardinThe GardenAkemi Davies (’19)

Le quartier est plein de jardins. Il y a beaucoup de papillons, de fleurs, et dʼoiseaux.

Cʼest beau. Je cours par le jardin et mange une pomme.

Il nʼy a pas de gratte-ciels, juste la nature et les maisons.

The neighborhood is full of gardens. There are a lot of butterflies, flowers, and birds.

It is beautiful. I run through the garden and eat an apple.

There are no skyscrapers, just nature and houses.

Aujourdʼhui, dans la classe, Agnan était le maître, car la maîtresse était malade et

elle ne vient pas à lʼécole. Cʼétait amusant car nous avons joué aux jeux vidéos sur nos

i-pads et Agnan nous a dit «Arrêtez!». Jʼai envoyé un texto, un rire emoji, à Clotaire, et il

a envoyé des lunettes emoji. Agnan était très furieux et il a dit «Vous êtes très mal les

garçons!», mais nous avons ri et Geoffroy a pris une vidéo dʼAgnan sur son i-phone 6s+.

Quand le Bouillon est revenu, il nous a donné une retenue. Jʼai ma retenue demain et je

vais nettoyer le laboratoire dʼinformatique et donner mes instruments électroniques au

Bouillon pour deux semaines.

Today, in class, Agnan was the teacher because the teacher was sick and she did not

come to school. This was funny because we just played video games on our i-pads and

Agnan said to us “Stop!” I sent a text of a laughing emoji to Clotaire, and he sent me the

glasses emoji. Agnan was really mad, and he said “You guys are very bad boys!” but

we just laughed and Geoffroy took a video of Agnan on his i-phone 6s+. When the

Bouillon came back, he gave us a detention. I have my detention tomorrow, and I am

going to clean the computer lab and give my electronics to the Bouillon for two weeks.

Juste une AventureJust an Adventure

Adelaida Cazin (’17)

Une bière, deux bières, trois bières. Il y a presque quarante ans que jʼai vu

lʼamour de ma vie, elle s'appelle Louisette. Je suis déprimé car hier elle

est sortie de ma vie, maintenant je ne veux pas vivre. Cʼétait un samedi

soir, elle était en ville, il y avait beaucoup de feux d'artifice, je lʼai invitée

dʼaller avec moi car nous ne nous étions pas vus depuis que nous étions

des petits enfants. Depuis quʼelle était sortie de ma maison je ne voulais

pas avoir de petites amies, je nʼai jamais embrassé de fille, je voulais

qu'elle soit ma première. Et hier elle était ma première, sous les feux

dʼartifice nous nous sommes embrassés, nous avons dansé, nous avons

parlé pendant des heures et des heures. Je suis tombé amoureux, elle me

rajeunit. Quand la nuit sʼest couchée, je lui ai demandé si elle voulait

mʼépouser, et elle a dit: « Vous êtes fous? Cʼest une aventure, jʼai déjà

quelquʼun que jʼaime!!!». Depuis je suis malheureux parce que personne

ne mʼaime, jʼai cinquante ans, suis célibataire, deprimé, et je bois du matin

au soir. Une bière, deux bières, trois bières.

Page 16: 2015-2016 La Pietra Passport

One beer, two beers, three beers. Itʼs been almost 40 years since I saw the

love of my life, her name was Louisette. I am depressed because yesterday

she walked out of my life; now I donʼt want to live. It was a Saturday night,

she was in town, there were many fireworks, I invited her to come with me

because we hadnʼt seen each other since we were little kids. Since she left

my house I never wanted girlfriends, I never had my first kiss, I wanted her

to be my first. And yesterday she was my first, underneath the fireworks we

kissed, we danced, and we talked for hours. I fell in love, she made me feel

young. Later on that night, I asked her if she wanted to marry me, and she

said: “Are you crazy? This is just an adventure, I already have someone

else I like!!!” Since then I have been sad because no one likes me, I am 50,

single, and depressed, I drink from morning to night. One beer, two beers,

three beers.

Cʼest lʼanniversaire de la maman de Nicolas. Elle a 85 ans, donc

Nicolas veut être avec elle. Quand Nicolas arrive à la maison, il voit la

voiture de la maman de Louisette. Bien sûr, il pense, la maman de

Nicolas et la maman de Louisette sont de très bonnes amies. Avant

quʼil va dans la maison, il voit Louisette sortir de la voiture. Elle a les

mêmes yeux bleus, et cheveux jaunes, mais elle nʼa pas de tresses

comme quand ils étaient petits. «Bonjour Nicolas» elle dit, «Bonjour

Louisette» il dit avec un sourire. «où est ta mère?» demande Nicolas.

«Elle est à la maison avec ta mère» elle dit. Ils vont dans la maison et

parlent des années, et la maman de Nicolas est très heureuse de les

voir ensemble après beaucoup de temps. Louisette et sa mère donnent

un beau gâteau à la maman de Nicolas! «Cʼest magnifique!» maman

dit. «Oui, merci Louisette» Nicolas dit. «Ce nʼest pas un problème, je

vous dois pour toutes les choses que jʼai faites il y a des années.»

It is Nicolasʼs motherʼs birthday. She is 85 years old, so Nicolas wants

to be with her. When Nicolas arrives at the house, he sees Louisetteʼs

motherʼs car. “Of course!” he thinks; Nicolasʼs mother and Louisetteʼs

mother are very good friends. Before he goes into the house, he sees

Louisette get out of the car. She has the same blue eyes and blonde

hair, but it isnʼt in braids like when they were small. “Hello Nicolas,” she

says. “Hello Louisette,” Nicolas says with a smile. “Where is your

mother?” asks Nicolas. “She is in the house with your mother,” she

says. They go in the house and talk about the years, and Nicolasʼs

mother is very happy to see them together after so much time.

Louisette gives a beautiful cake to Nicolasʼs mother. “Itʼs magnificent!”

Mother says. “Yes, thank you Louisette” Nicolas says. “Itʼs no problem, I

owe you for all the things I have did so many years ago.”

Love me back, please! I love your curves and your big

Mari: Hi, I’m Mari.

Emma: Hi, I’m Emma, Do you live close or far from the school?

Mari: I live close to school.

Emma: That is convenient.

Mari: But, my house is very small. My room can fit only one person. The room is very hot, because it doesn’t have air conditioning. My room has three book shelves. There are many books on the shelves. I have one closet in my room with some clothes hanging in it. Next to the bookshelves is my bed. There is a desk in front of my bed, and also one chair. Next to that I have one very small window, but no wind comes through. On my desk I have a fan and a lamp. I really like my room because it is very quiet and comfortable. The house I live in is also close to restaurants and stores. Do you live in a small or big house?

Emma: My house is far away from school. It takes 45 minutes to get to school. My house is big, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. My room is always cold. I always have my air conditioner on. I don’t have any book shelves in my room. I have two closets that hold all my clothes. I have a table and chair in front of my window. My bed is on the left side of my desk. I also love my room;it has everything I love inside of it. The house I live in is far from stores but close to a couple of restaurants.

Mari: I really want your house!

Emma: You can come over anytime!

艾玛: 我家离学校很远。开车去学校需要四十五分钟。我家很大,有五间卧室和三间浴室。我的房间总是很冷。因为我的空调一直开着。我的房间里没有书架。我有两个衣柜,里面都是我的衣服。我的桌子和椅子都摆在我的窗前。我的床在桌子的左边。我也很爱我的房间,里面都是我喜欢的东西。我住的房子离商店不远,也靠近一些餐馆儿。

妹妹,

你好。学校好吗?这个学期我有四节课。我的第一节课是生物课,第二节课是中文课,第三节课是英文课,第四节课是体育课。

我平常不喜欢上学,因为我必须早早起床,但是我很喜欢这学期的课。中文课是我最喜欢的。你最喜欢的课是什么?

明天是周末,所以我有空,我想去买东西。我知道你也喜欢去买东西,所以想问你想不想和我一起去买衣服?还是你想做点别的?我有很多长裤和毛衣, 所以我想买T恤衫和短裤。我也想买一双拖鞋,因为我的拖鞋被我压坏了。我们先去购物,然后再一起去吃午餐,怎么样?我请客。我希望你能来。祝好!

Dear Meimei,

Hi! Was school good? This term I have 4 classes. My first class is Biology, next is Chinese, then English, and lastly PE.

I usually don't like to go to school because I have to wake up early, but I really like this term's classes. Chinese is my favorite. What is your favorite class?

Tomorrow is the weekend, so I have free time; I want to go shopping. I know you like to go shopping, so do you want to go clothes shopping with me? Or do you want to do something else? I have a lot of long pants and long sleeve shirts, so I want to buy t-shirts and shorts. I also want to buy a pair of slippers because I broke my other ones. First we go shopping, then we go to eat lunch together; how does that sound? My treat. I hope you can come. Best wishes!

你好, 布里特妮Hello Brittany

Angelina Augafa (’19)

Brittany:

Hello long time no see, how are you? I have been very busy, but I’m free this week, since school is on break. So I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner and watch a movie with me. I hope you can come so I can give you your birthday gift, because I missed your party last week.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!! How old are you now? I can’t remember if you’re a year older or a year younger than I.

Anyways, how is your school? My school is very small and there are only girls there.

This term is what makes me busy all the time, because I have final exams for every class. I only have four classes, World Cultures, Chinese, Geometry, and Literature. World Cultures is very easy, but class starts in the morning, so I am always tired in that class. Next is Chinese and that class is a little hard because I have a hard time remembering characters and my handwriting is ugly.

Then, I have Geometry which really hard, but I like math and I am good at it, so it is easier for me than it is for my classmates. Last is Literature and it is very hard for me because I am not good at writing papers, and there is too much vocabulary to remember.

Anyways, I should save some of the talking for dinner. Wish you the best.

Your friend,Angelina

布里特妮 :

你好,好久不见,你好吗?我一直很忙,但是我这个星期有空,因为学校放假。所以我想约你一起去吃晚餐和看电影。我希望你能来,我准备了你的生日礼物要拿给你,因为我错过了上星期的生日派对。

我想祝你迟来的生日快乐!你今年多大了?我不记得你是比我大一岁还是比我小。

不管怎样,你的学校怎么样?我的学校很小,只有女孩。

这个学期我一直很忙,而且我每門课都有期末考试。我有四門课,世界文化,中文课,几何和文学。世界文化是很容易的,但在上午上课,所以我总是觉得很累。下一节是中文课,我觉得中文有点儿难,因为我觉得中国字很难,我写得中国字也不漂亮。

然后,我有一个非常喜欢也觉得有点儿困难的数学课。我很喜欢数学,所以跟我的同学比起来,我觉得数学比较容易。最后一节课是文学,对我来说很难,因为我不擅长写论文,而且有太多的词汇要记。

不管怎样,我该准备去吃晚饭了。祝好

爸爸,你好Hello DadParis Starn (’17)

爸爸嗨,今天你好吗?我希望你很好!我期待着明天我们一起骑马和探索小径。我们可能会一直骑到太阳下山,希望你不会在意。骑完马之后,我们也许可以去吃晚餐?你想在哪里吃饭?我总是很享受我们一起吃晚餐的时光,因为它们对我来说,十分特别。吃完晚饭后,我们可以一起去看电影。你有没有想看的电影呢?我听说了一些很棒的电影,可是我想让你来选!我们已经很久没有花时间一起谈谈天,说说话。我已经等不及地想和你一起度过一整天。当我去读大学时,我会很想念我们在一起的时光。我希望你能常常来学校看我。如果你来,我们可以去公园骑马,你觉得怎么样?我们可以烤肉,也可以骑马穿过山区来度过我们的周末,你想去哪个公园呢?我觉得马牙路是一个好地点。我们还是明天晚餐的时候讨论吧!祝你有愉快的一天!我爱你爸爸!星星

Dad,

Hi, how was your day? I hope it was good! I am looking forward to riding our horses together tomorrow. I can't wait to go and explore the trails with you. I hope you do not mind a long ride. I want to ride for as long as the sun is up. Maybe after we can go and get dinner? Where do you want to eat? I love our dinners together; they are really special to me. After that we could possibly go see a movie together. Are there any movies that you want to see? I heard that there are some good movies out, but it is up to you to pick the movie!

I can’t wait to have our day together; it has been a long time since we had a day that was spent with each other. I am going to miss our time together when I leave for college. I hope you come and visit me in college regularly. If you come up we can ride horses in the state parks together. Would you be interested in that? I think that you coming up to visit me would be fun for you and me both! We can take the horses trail riding on long weekends through the mountains and cook our food on the fire. Where do you think would be a good park for our first weekend ride? Maybe Horsetooth Trail would be a good spot for our first weekend ride. We can talk about all of this tomorrow at dinner! Have a great day!! I love you Dad!

一 封信A LetterSavanna Ton (’19)

Little Mei:Hello! Long time no see; how have you been recently? Are you eating well? Is your family well? Was this semester easy or hard for you? I know I haven’t seen you this month. This semester was busy. My first class was English. The teacher taught us grammar, vocabulary, and to write essays. My second class is Biology. Our Biology class is really interesting. My third class is Photography. My fourth class is Geometry. At first I thought it was hard; later my friend helped me practice Geometry, now I think it's not very hard. New Year’s Day is coming soon, so I wish you Happy New Years! I want to meet with you. Do you like to listen to music? Next Saturday, our school is having a music concert. I hope you can come. I don’t write well in Chinese. Please don’t make fun of me.December 28Your friend,Savanna

小美: 你好! 好久不见, 最近怎么样?你吃饭吃得好吗?你的家人也都好吗?这个学期,你的功课简单还是很难?我这个月都还没有见到你。这个学期我很忙。 第一节课是英文。老师教我们语法,生词, 和作文。第二节课是生物学。我们的生物学很有意思。第三节课是摄影课。第四节课是几何学。刚开始我觉得几何学很难,后来,因为我的朋友帮我练习,就觉得不很难了。新年快要到了,祝你新年快乐!我想和你见面,你喜欢听音乐吗?下个星期六我们学校有一个音乐会,希望你能来。我用中文写信写得很不好,请别笑我。祝好 你的朋友十二月二十八日冰冰

そよ風が木々の中で踊るたび、

しずくが葉っぱから落ちて

メロディーを奏でる。

消えそうな土の匂いの中、

かたつむりたちはどろのなかに潜ってゆく。

太陽が雲の中から顔をだすと、

雨粒まみれの花たちはきらきらと光りだす。

A gust of wind dances through the trees.

Droplets of water fall from the leaves,

Creating a harmonious melody.

A faint scent of dirt still wanders in the air,

The snails go hide into the mounds.

When the sun peeks out of the clouds,

The flowers covered in raindrops sparkle with joy.

The sky is blue again.
