Bonjour,
je suis en classe de terminale ES, j'ai un texte super difficile, je dois expliqué en totale de se que j'ai compris dans le texte, et puis trouver le titre du texte, l'objectif de cette exercice, et de s'entrainé pour faire une compréhension oral. voici letexte:
Allen Pinkham, Nez Perce
Nez Perce Decide to Help Lewis and Clark
TOMV 2003

So when we seen a strange kind of creature that didn�t look like us, we wondered if they were even human beings. You know, they had eyes like fish, they had their� some of them had their faces upside down, they spoke a language we never heard before, and they smell. So when we seen these creatures, our old people would say, �Now the prophecy is coming true, because we foretold of these strange kind of people coming. And they�re very short, but they tell me quite a bit. When these people come among us�after we decided they were human beings of some sort�when they come among us, they�re going to travel faster and faster and faster. They�re going to make things that go through the air, they�re going to make things that crawl upon the ground and they�re going to bring good things and bad things with them.� The prophecy goes on and on but that, briefly, that�s what it is. Another one is: �The white-faced creature will be coming behind a white-faced animal, about the size of a deer and it will go right through Lapwai valley, in the center of our country.� And that also happened.

So this tells me that we knew quite a bit about these white-faced creatures. They called themselves �white� and we didn�t know why, but that�s what they did. And, and so I�m sure that we knew about this. And then what we end up calling these white-faced creatures were so-ya-po, and the Salish people called them [so-ya-pee], and so that tells me quite abit�that, uh, then the translation of so-ya-po means �across water people.� So how did we know that they came across the water? So we must have known a great deal about these white-faced creatures. And so, when Lewis and Clark shows up, you know, we knew they were coming because it was foretold that they would come, and that they would bring good things and bad things�harmful things that would hurt us and good things that would help us. And part of the prophecy says that it will take five generations for the Nez Perce people to recover from the coming of the white man�that is what is foretold. So, as a dichotomy of� or, a very polarized opinion of these people, once we decided they were human beings.

Mercie,
