Salut tout le monde, c’est Tara. J’espère que vous passez un bon week-end, et qu’il y a autant de soleil chez vous qu’il y en a chez moi. Il fait très, très chaud à Paris aujourd’hui. En ce moment il fait 30 degrés, et demain il va faire 32 ! Il n’y a pas de plage à Paris, donc je vais aller dans un parc pour profiter du soleil.

Alors, pour les articles d’aujourd’hui - on va d’abord parler de Neymar, qui va jouer à la Coupe du monde. Ensuite, on va voir pourquoi les français boivent plus de bière que de vin. Et pour finir, on va parler de la fin du « Late Show » de Stephen Colbert.

Allez, on y va?

Hey everyone, it’s Tara. I hope you’re having a great weekend, and that there is as much sunshine where you are, as there is here. It’s very, very hot in Paris today. At the moment, it’s 30 degrees, and tomorrow it’s going to be 32! There’s no beach in Paris, so I’m going to go to a park to enjoy the sun.

So, for today’s articles - first we’re going to talk about Neymar, who is going to play in the World Cup. Then, we’re going to look at why French people are drinking more beer than wine. And to finish, we’re going to talk about the end of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show.

Ok let’s go.
