Exemple : Chaque hiver, je fais du ski avec ma famille. J’aime être active et faire du sport tous les jours. Par contre, c’est fatigant.
Example: Every winter, I go skiing with my family. I like being active and doing exercise every day. However, it’s tiring.
1. Je n'aime pas aller au bord de la mer en Italie parce qu'il fait trop chaud, mais j'aime me relaxer à la plage. En général, j’adore me relaxer à la plage l’été, mais des fois, il fait vraiment trop chaud et ce n’est pas agréable.
I don't like going to the seaside in Italy because it's too hot but I do like to relax on the beach. Generally, I love relaxing on the beach in summer but sometimes it is far too hot and it’s not pleasant.
2. En juin, je suis allé à Paris avec mon collège. C’était amusant d’aller en voyage avec mes copains, mais nous avons visité trop de musées.
In June, I went to Paris with my school. It was fun to go on a trip with my friends, but we visited too many museums.
