can you give me 5 phrases about summer but in french for grade 6?
Answers
1. Passer à l’heure d’été
One of the most palpable signs of the coming of summer is the arrival of long summer days. Instead of changing to daylight-saving time, the French – in typical fashion – have a much more poetic saying for putting the clocks forward: “passer à l’heure d’été” (passing to summer time). Likewise, in the fall, the country passes back to winter time (passer à l’heure d’hiver).
2. Faire le pont
Spring and summer in France are chock-full of national holidays. When the planets align just right, these holidays will fall on Thursdays or Tuesdays, meaning that just one holiday will get you a four-day weekend, quelle bonne affaire (what a deal)! When this happens, the French will say that they’re “making the bridge” (faire le pont) between the holiday and the weekend by taking the extra day off.
3. Les grandes vacances
Summer vacation (les grandes vacances) has been a cornerstone of French society since it was first established for school children back in 1882. Traditionally in August, many people will take up to three weeks of their mandatory five paid vacation weeks per year, meaning the rest of life in the country slows to a crawl.
4. La fermeture annuelle
If you find yourself in Paris in August, chances are you won’t be asking for directions to the Louvre, but rather the nearest bakery or supermarket that’s open! As people leave the city for their annual summer vacation, shops too close their doors for the month. Don’t be surprised to see storefronts shuttered with signs reading, “Fermeture annuelle: réouverture en septembre” (Annual closing: reopening in September).
5. Se mettre au vert
There’s nothing like summer to awaken that desire to flee the banalities of city life for the tranquility and natural beauty of the countryside. This expression, which literally means “to put oneself in the green” (se mettre au vert), will surely come in handy over the summer months as you plot your escape. However, you might want to be mindful of the context in which you use it. The expression can also mean that you are escaping to the countryside to lay low because the police are after you!
