If our French is showing up in English for you, that's Substack automatically translating it into your device's language - which rather defeats the purpose! To turn it off: on the web, click "Translated" at the top of the post and view the original, or go to Settings → Translations and switch off "Automatically translate." On the app: Translation settings → "Never translate" → choose French. Then every edition will appear just as written.
Bonjour !
Voici trois articles faciles pour améliorer ton français.
1. De plus en plus d’hommes portent un short au travail
Avec la hausse des températures, de plus en plus d’hommes portent un short pour aller au travail. À Tokyo, la mairie encourage maintenant les employés à porter un short quand il fait très chaud. À Londres et dans d’autres villes européennes, certains hommes font aussi la même chose. Beaucoup d’entreprises ont encore des règles sur ce que les employés peuvent porter. Mais certaines deviennent plus flexibles pendant les canicules. Les syndicats en Allemagne disent que les entreprises devraient autoriser les employés à porter un short quand les températures sont très élevées.
Vocabulaire : hausse (f) = rise, increase / porter = to wear / entreprises (f pl) = companies / règles (f pl) = rules / canicules (f pl) = heatwaves / syndicats (m pl) = unions / autoriser = to allow / élevées = high
English translation
More and more men wear shorts to work
With rising temperatures, more men are wearing shorts to work. In Tokyo, the city government now encourages workers to wear shorts during very hot weather. In London and other European cities, some men are doing the same thing. Many companies still have rules about what workers can wear. But some are becoming more flexible during heatwaves. Unions in Germany say companies should allow workers to wear shorts when temperatures are very high.
