Today we are faced with the pre-eminent fact that if civilisation is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships, the ability of all peoples of all kinds to live together and to work together in the same world at peace.

I am nervous but glad to have reached this important stage in the course.
Good luck to my fellow students in French!
You have to defend your freedom in order to enjoy it.
Est- ce que les êtres conscients, les humains peuvent-ils supporter la séparation?
Une douleur sourde après l'évènement d'une éclosion silencieuce de la perte.
L'irrascible soulagement des vicissitudes de la vie.
Nous devons questionner
l"existence entre le néant et une théologie positive. Devant nous se pose comme fondamental le problème entre le bien et le mal et la résolution de croire en Dieu et Jésus Christ comme la pierre sur laquelle notre vie a un sens, et la séparation prend fin.

Le week-end est là finalement. Je vais me reposer parce que J'ai remis mes devoirs TMA03 juste avant la date limite.
Je vais regarder des films francais sur le lecteur dvd. pour mes loisirs.
Je vais me relaxer, manger du chocolat, et boire quelque chose de pétillant. Puis je vais appeller mes amis. Après, si le temps le permet, je pense que je vais aller me promener. Aujourdhui Je vais surtout me détendre avec ma famille.
Toutefois, Je ne dois pas devenir trop complaisante, parce que la semaine prochaine Je dois étudier encore!
J' espère que tout va bien pour toi.
Nous pouvons le faire!
I have typed up my assignment for L222. A scenario for a french language film, it is a short story I wrote it a while ago in english🙂 but I had to adapt it to fit the criteria for the present times in we are living.
Next I had to translate it into French so I did that first in a rough copy then I checked it up with the dictionary for french grammar and the essential french grammar book with the correct tenses, spellings, parts of speech and structure. I also checked it with translation tool when I had finished.
Now just🤔.have to check it and tidy it up and send it off. Hope it will be ok!🤔 I will just have to see what happens. Anyway I have done my best.

Wherever I may go and no matter how far I roam,
I always will come back to my little place called home.
My little home stands at the far end of the row,
It has pot plants and flowers there , and roses round the door.🌹
At the back there is a sloping lawn and trees grow all around,
There's lots of leafy plants, with a fountain and a pond. ⛲
There is a picnic table on the patio below,
Where I like to sit, and watch the birds,🕊🦅
In sunshine or in snow.

L'amour est patient, il est plein de bonté; l'amour n'est point envieux ; l' amour ne se vante point, il ne s'enfle point d'orgueil, il ne fait rien de malhonnête, il ne cherche point son intérêt, il ne s'irrite point, il ne soupçonne point le mal, il ne se réjouit point de l'injustice, mais il se réjouit de la vérité; il excuse tout, il croit tout, il espère tout, il supporte tout.
1 Corrinthians 13v4
Ce matin il y a une fine couche de neige. C'etait un paysage éntincellant. Les arbres tremblent dans le froid. La neige c'etais croustillant sous les pied alors que Je decendais le chemin du jardin. J"ai mis la nouriture sur la table des oiseaux. Un oiseau s'est assise sur une branche c' est un rouge -gorge. Il est me regarde avec curiosité et puis Je me suis dépêché à l' intérieur. Je enlève mon manteau et Je fais une bonne tasse de café. Je me suis assise en buvant un café en regardant le jardin par la fenêtre. L' oiseau est parti maintenant. Il commence à neiger lentement et légèrement.

Aujourd'hui J' étudie le cinema francais. Je ne vais pas souvent au cinéma parsceque
J' habite trop loin de la cité. Aussi c'est un confinement dans ces jours. Alors Je préfère regarder un film en français chez moi, sur dvd, sur TV ou sur l'internet.
La tache- Je dois choisir un film en français et écrire un scenario.
Je aussi lire mon livre en français le petit prince par Antoine de Saint-Exuperéy. C'est une bonne petite histoire et pour moi c'est facile à comprendre! 📖

Without hope of returning,
Do we have to leave without hope
Of seeing each other some day

It’s only a goodbye, my brothers

Une chaîne d’amour.
Let’s make with our hands held together

Connected by this gentle chain
Everyone, in this same place,
Connected by this gentle chain

And who will bless us,
Car Dieu qui nous voit tous ensemble
Saura nous réunir.
Because God who sees us all together
Knows that we will meet again.

The idea for the creation of the Open University, came from the then Socialist Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who was elected to power in Britain in 1964.
Harold Wilson came from humble beginnings, born in Yorkshire to a chemist father, and Schoolteacher mother.
He excelled at school and went on to study at Oxford, gaining a first class BA degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
When Wilson came to power in 1964 he introduced a range of reforms, aimed at helping the poorest, who had no access to formal education.
One of these reforms was the expansion of the Education system and the creation of the Open university.
He believed this would improve the country's economy, have an educated work force and create greater opportunities for social mobility.
The way Education was made available to its registered students, was by utilising the television and radio, to broadcast it's courses, also through the distribution of course books.
This led the way to link the Open University to the new technological developments, that were soon about to follow in this country.
In April 1969, the Open University was granted a Royal Charter, enabling it to continue its good work, in Educating it's more disadvantaged citizens, and all those seeking to gain access to
Higher Education.
Wilson was influenced by the politicians of his day, such as Clement Atlee, Ernest Bevan and Gaitskell.
Further more he took important steps to stop discrimination against women, and ethnic minorities, under the then socialist government.
Wilson also joined forces with the United States Senator(Democrat) William Benton, the publisher of Encyclopedia Britannica, who sponsored Wilsons vision for educating the people of Britain.
Nowadays the Open University opens it's doors to everyone with an Education, with little Education, or with no Education at all. It is open to everyone!
It is also available to overseas students, and all those seeking higher qualifications, including Diplomas, Degrees, Open Degrees, MAs and PHDs. The Open University provides an excellent quality of Education, and is well recognised nationally, as well as worldwide.

I really like working from as I enjoy studying with the OU.
It gives me the opportunity to be flexible, and to find the right balance, between work life and family life.
I can see my family and I can do all my daily duties , feed the cats, do my caring duties, look after my son, do the housework, shopping and so on.
I find the early morning is the best time to study because I have a lot more energy in the morning, so I keep aside the morning for studying with the OU, this includes learning the French language for the module L332. Language generally and doing translation among other tasks.
I have to stop at some point to prepare the family meal, between my various tasks, but I really enjoy studying and taking in knowledge, this makes my life varied and interesting!
In the afternoon, I try to make time for a walk. I usually try to walk the circuit of my village where I live, to get some well needed exercise.
The evening is spent mainly with my family, but I sometimes can't stop myself from doing a little bit of studying! or reading (study related) books especially if the TV doesn't interest me !
I like to unwind with the music on the radio, classic FM usually , last thing at night and just to relax a bit before sleeping, with a cup of cocoa.
Hope everyone is progressing well and having a bit of a break before the new term starts.

Welcome back to a Vic -Tory -an Britain. Ah! does it not warm your heart!
The poor will go off for their allocated shop at the local food bank to pick up their supplies and soon there will be even more people going to the food banks 🥣 due to the high unemployment that is coming ! Wonder when they will be bringing back the workhouses? 🏢 the old asylums, orphanages and alms houses!
Whatever happened to "make poverty history"
Poverty and destitution all around us but that is what the nation voted for ( but not me) Well that is what they wanted. Let's hope for great expectations 💰rather than Bleak House.

An english version is said to be known as "Christmas Comes Anew"
English
Christmas Comes Anew
1.
Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
Glory to God! Now let your praises swell!
Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King,
Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
2.
Angels did say, "O shepherds come and see,
Born in Bethlehem, a blessed Lamb for thee."
Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King,
Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
3.
In the manger bed, the shepherds found the child;
Joseph was there, and the Mother Mary mild.
Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King,
Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
4.
Soon came the kings from following the star,
Bearing costly gifts from Eastern lands afar.
Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King,
Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
5.
Brought to Him gold and incense of great price;
Then the stable bare resembled Paradise.
Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King,
Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth;
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;
Chorus
Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O night divine! O night when Christ was born.
O night, O holy night, O night divine.
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming;
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand:
So, led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from Orient land,
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend;
He knows our need, To our weakness no stranger!
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King! your King! before him bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is Love and His gospel is Peace;
Chains shall he break, for the slave he is our brother, and in his name all oppression shall cease,Sweet hymns of joy in grateful Chorus raise we . Let all within us praise his Holy name.
Christ is the Lord, then ever! ever praise we!
His pow'r and glory, evermore proclaim!
His pow'r and glory, evermore proclaim!
Minuit Chrétiens
Minuit, chrétiens,
C'est l'heure solennelle
Ou l'Homme Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous
Pour effacer la tache originelle
Et de Son Père arrêter le courroux.
Le monde entier tressaille d'espérance
En cette nuit qui lui donne un Sauveur.
Chorus
Peuple a genoux, attends ta délivrance!
Noel! Noel! Voici le Rédempteur!
Noel! Noel! Voici le Rédempteur!
Le Rédempteur
A brise toute entrave:
La terre est libre et le ciel est ouvert.
Il voit un Frère ou n'était qu'un esclave,
L'amour unit ceux qu'enchainait le fer.
Qui Lui dira notre reconnaissance?
C'est pour nous tous qu'Il nait,
Qu'Il souffre et meurt.
Chorus
Peuple debout, chante ta délivrance!
Noel! Noel! Chantons le Rédempteur!
Noel! Noel! Chantons le Rédempteur!
A mon avis, Je pense que l'histoire de la France, lors de la seconde guerre mondiale, est digne d'être commémorer comme un évènement crucial, et dont la contribution pour la victoire finale des alliés contre le nazisme et le fascisme, n'est pas negligeable. Je suis convainçue que la résistance Française doit être célèbrée.
Il ne faut pas oublier, que pendant cette guerre, 1940-1945, la France était divisée.
Le nord de la France était sous la domination allemande, alors que le sud était administré par un gouvernement français,qui était soi -disant une zône libre, basée à Vichy, sous le collaborateur Maréchal Pétain.
Pour moi, beaucoup de français agréait avec Pétain. Mais après, la situation se détèriorisa sur le point que les butalités allemandes (et françaises) tourna beaucoup de gens à se poser des questions, sur le but de l'invasion des nazis et des fascistes.
Après 1942, les forces de la résistance, ont reçu le support du gouvernement, en exil à Londres sous le Général De Gaulle, et aussi la création des opérations spéciales exécutives (SOE) pour supporter la résistance en France.Les différents groupes, au début de la résistance, ont dus inventés Les différents groupes, au début de la résistance, ont dus inventés des modes operatoires à eux seuls.
En faisant cela, ils ont créer un nouveau type d'organisation, le mouvement de la résistance, qui se sont battus, pendant cette guerre; afin que toi, et moi, soyont libre du fléau du nazisme et du fascisme.
De nos jours, quand le racisme et le nationalisme devient de plus en plus dangeureux, vous devez comprendre également, que la pandémie du Covid 19, et le Brexit, ne font qu'alimenter les forces de l'extrémisme. Il est sobre de se souvenir, vous, nous et tous de quoi est capable la nature humaine et le danger de l'idéologie de l'extrême droite.
Nous saluons tous ceux qui n'ont pas accepté et se sont opposés au nazisme et au fascisme dans le monde entier, et dans la guerre mondiale.
Nous saluons aussi tous ceux qui s'opposent de nos jours et qui luttent pour la liberté, l'égalité et la fraternité, dans le monde entier.
Après tout, nous nous ressemblons chacun les uns les autres dans notre humanité face à l'extrémisme sous toute ces formes.
Un rappel encore, le conceil de la résistance créer par Jean Moulin, ce héro, qui a centralisé les forces de la résistance en France contre l'occupation nazie et fasciste.
Il a fallu qu'il organize les différentes opinions d'adhésion, pour la lutte contre les allemands et les collaborateurs.
Jean Moulin a unifié le mouvement de la résistance, pour la victoire finale, et rétablis selon moi, la dignité du peuple français aux yeux des gens courageux, contre
L'intolérance du pouvoir politique.
Christ has died
Christ has risen
Christ will come again.
Very pleased to get my results for TMA 01 Very happy with that !
I had to ask for an extension because of family health problems. because could not concentrate at all with everything going on at home.
So I am extremely happy with the result and did better than I thought I would considering all the cicumstances.
Now I feel like I am on a roll and the next TMA is looming, although the speaking part is not my strongest point and I am quite shy really anyway.
My French writing is better, but unfortunately my speaking is still quite weak, I think I lack confidence , so I need to strengthen my speaking skills by practicing and recording my voice, speaking in french.
I have made a start and wrote 2 pages of notes. Thats the easy part done now to speak out loud and pronounce all the words clearly and correctly.
I must not make any mistakes and not speak too fast or I may trip up, just try to stay cool and to remember that practise makes perfect.
I have to get familiar with reading my notes out loud and to convey the right meaning through the French language.
So let the battle commence !🤺
The times we are living through are very difficult to bear, but we are finding new ways to cope with, and adapt in this strange new world. It can be confusing, frustrating.and sad.
However, according to the news on TV there is hope on the horizon, with a new vaccine so this is a positive, especially for those of us who are vulnerable.
Just had our very first ever christmas card this year, from our friends along the road.
With all the news that is trending at the moment I almost forgot that Christmas is just around the corner. It will be very different for many of us this year. Myself included in being appart from our distanced relatives.
The prime minister has said we have to be jolly careful this christmas!
However, I myself have not seen many of my dear old lady friends. I don't know how they are, so I plan to just take a walk past their bungalows and see if I can see them, and just give them a little wave, from the end of the garden. I will post a Christmas card through their letter boxes for them. Just to let them know they are not alone and that someone is thinking about them.
Christmas is often a period when the elderly feel the most lonely at this time of year.
