France's national poetry ''Le pont Mirabeau,''The Mirabeau Bridge,''El puente Mirabeau, ''Der Pont Mirabeau''

Hi,
Bonjour,
Hola,
Guten tag,

Today I am going to upload the poem of Guillaume Apolinaire.
If we are in high school, we learn all this poem.
My brother learned this poem when he was 11th grade.

This poem, by Guillaume Apolinaire who was modern poet who exprim the longing about the time that pass like the flowing of Seine River(La Seine).

Guilaume Apolinaire who was french poet loved with the painter Marie Laurencin.
For 5 years he loved deeply but, they separated, so he wrote the poem with the sad.

Guillaume Apolinaire

Le pont Mirabeau

Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
            Et nos amours
       Faut-il qu'il m'en souvienne
La joie venait toujours après la peine

     Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
     Les jours s'en vont je demeure

Les mains dans les mains restons face à face
            Tandis que sous
       Le pont de nos bras passe
Des éternels regards l'onde si lasse

     Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
     Les jours s'en vont je demeure

L'amour s'en va comme cette eau courante
            L'amour s'en va
       Comme la vie est lente
Et comme l'Espérance est violente

     Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
     Les jours s'en vont je demeure

Passent les jours et passent les semaines
            Ni temps passé
       Ni les amours reviennent
Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine

     Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
     Les jours s'en vont je demeure

            Guillaume Apolinaire, Alcools (1913)

The Mirabeau Bridge

Under the Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine

And our loves 

Must I remember them

Joy always followed after pain

Let the night fall and the hours ring

The days go away, I remain

Hand in hand let us stay face to face

while underneath 

the bridge of our arms passes

the so-slow wave of eternal looks

Let the night fall and the hours ring

The days go away, I remain

Love goes away like this flowing water

Love goes away

How slow life is

How violent hope is

Let the night fall and the hours ring

The days go away, I remain

The days pass and the weeks pass

Neither past time 

Nor past loves return

Under the Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine

Le calligramme de pont Mirabeau.
The calligramm of Pont Mirabeau

El puente Mirabeau

Bajo el puente Mirabeau corre el Sena

Y nuestros amores

Hace falta que me recuerde

La alegría venía después de la pena

Viene la noche suena la hora

Los dìas se van, yo quedo

Las manos sobre las manos quedamos cara a cara

Mientras que bajo

el puente de nuestros brazos pasa

De miradas eternas la onda se enlaza

Viene la noche suena la hora

Los dìas se van, yo quedo

El amor se va como esta agua que corre

El amor se va

Como la vida es lenta

Y como la esperanza es violenta

Viene la noche suena la hora

Los dìas se van, yo quedo

Pasan los dìas y pasan las semanas

Ni tiempo pasado

Ni los amores regresan

Bajo el puente Mirabeau corre el Sena

Viene la noche suena la hora

Los dìas se van, yo quedo

Der Pont Mirabeau

Unter dem Pont Mirabeau fließt die Seine dahin

An unsre Liebe

Ich immer denken muss

Die Freude kam stets nach dem Schmerz

Es komme die Nacht, es komme die Stunde

Die Tage vergehen ich verharre

Hand in Hand sind wir, Auge in Auge

Unter der Brücke unserer Arme

Zieht die ermüdete Welle

Unserer ewigen Blicke hindurch

Es komme die Nacht, es komme die Stunde

Die Tage vergehen ich bleibe

Die Liebe vergeht wie dies fließende Wasser

Die Liebe vergeht

Wie langsam vergeht doch das Leben

Und wie gewaltsam ist Hoffen dagegen

Es komme die Stunde, es komme die Nacht

Die Tage vergehen, ich bleibe

Dahin gehn die Tage, Wochen und Jahre

Nicht die vergangene Zeit

Nicht unsere Liebe kehren zurück

Unter dem Pont Mirabeau fließt die Seine

Komme doch, Nacht, komm, Augenblick

Die Zeit zieht vorbei, ich bleibe zurück

Story of bread and biscuit...Tourteau Fromagé

Hi,
Bonjour~

If we say France, we can't forget bread, cheese and wine.
France's traditional bread is Baguette...

The bread that I am going to introduce is Tourteau Fromagé.
There is cheese, so it is round cheese bread.

It is the special product of Poitou(in France)
It is made of fresh goat cheese.
This upper side of bread is burn with fire, so it keep the moist.
I saw many people who ate the black part, so we can it.

If we cut, inside it is like a soft sponge cake.
Traditionally, we eat during a wedding reception, but recently we eat for snack or desert.
I like baguette, but for breakfast I also ate this bread with Nutella.

In bakery, they don't sell this bread much, so we could find in the supermarket, refrigeration corner. The price is about 3.5 euro. Price of one baguette is 1 euro, so it is expensive.

The goat cheese(Fromage de chèvre) that is the main ingredient of Tourteau fromagé.

The goat cheese's taste is mild, the texture is soft and there are a lot of moisture content.

I would like to eat baguette with one piece of goat cheese:)

Bye~
Au revoir~

French's love of perfume

Hi,
French love and enjoy perfume.
They love too much that when we go to market, there is corner for kids' perfume:)
There are a lot of french kids who spray on perfume.

There is also only one perfume school around the world, it is only in France.

This is only one perfume school around the world. The name of the school is ISIPCA.
It locates in Versailles, France. We learn a major field of study about perfumes, cosmetics, foods spice. This school teaches students to be the specialists.

This school is constructed by Jean-Jacques Guerlain that is familiar to us.
To enter to this school it's very hard.

1.Examination of documents.
2.Written test (Chemistry, smell test, knowledge of refinement)
3.In front of the committee that is composed of professors, we should to oral test. And we proficient at French and English.
4.Perfect french(There is also a class in English.)

The most famous perfume is Chanel N°5.

                                                 

                      

Gabrielle Coco Chanel asked astrologer for the name of the perfume.

<5> was the lucky number for Chanel. She gave a name 5 and she announced officially on 5 May that the dates overlap. 

                                       

                                    

                                        (Chanel and Marilyn Monroe)

Especially Marilyn Monroe said in interview''When I sleep I wear Chanel  ''N°5.'' 

so she became more famous:)

Perfumes develop with perfumes bottles, so there are variety types.

Perfumes bottles look like for me craft items.

Required reading ''Les misérables'' read with the copy of the first edition

Hi,
Today I will going to introduce the book that I possess.
When we go to french school, every students must read this book.
Of course, the whole world read this book when they go to the school.
By books, musical, plays, every genres every one love the story.



As you see this illustration, can know the story?
It is Les miserables.
Always this illustration is used for representative poster. And it is Cosette's figure.
Cosette is the daughter that is adopted from the main character(Jean Valjean).

This is the first edition of Les misérables.
Les misérables is the major work of Victor Hugo.
In french,''Les misérables''means a poor person.
Now, by following the illustrations imagine the story.

Évêque et le forçat.

The bishop and with the people shabby eat with the luxury silverware.
The bishop gives the meal to Jean Valjean who was 19 years in the jail and be paroled.

The story begins with Jean Valjean who languish in the prison in the past.
Because of bishop who gives the hot meal with the love to Jean Valjean who is an ex-convict by himself, life of Jean Valjean changed completely.
He expends effort and became the mayor.

The woman who sell her body is Fantine.
She is arrested by the policeman who obey the rules and law and named Javert.
The illustration shows Fantine is imploring to Javert.
Jean Valjean who became the mayor saves and cares Fantine.
However, Jean Valjean is chases by Javert.

This is Jean Valjean's childhood.
The illustration of the left shows the life of France during 19 century.
The children look hungry and the adults abandon.
And for right, the boy that is stealing by hand is Jean Valjean.

By Fantine's will, Jean Valjean saves her daughter Cosette, avoid Javert they haul to Paris.
La seine(Seine river in Paris) looks little bit similar than now.

It is written ''Les enchantements et les désolations''
It means in french the pleasure and solitude.
Jean Valjean and Cosette, then Cosette's boyfriend Marius's feelings shows very well.

Jean Valjean's solitude...
Marius is a student revolutionary and share love with Cosette.

Jean Valjean saves Marius who was in the dangerous situation.
Javert who chases Jean Valjean suicides by himself.
By looking Jean Valjean, Javert's belief was collapsed.
The illustration shows Javert who suicide.


The illustration shows Javert who suicide.



This is the last illustration of the book.
It is Jean Valjean's death. Cosette and Marius are sad.

Jean Valjean is the main character, but why we always use Cosette as the representative poster?
Russ Eglin who design the poster of the 4 greatest musical(Cats, Les misérables, the Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon) in the interview, ''Jean Valjean is the main character, but why he fail of the model of the poster?we said.

Then, she responded very simply: ''We always tried but, Jean Valjean looks more gloom''

The illustration of Cosette is used for the first time by France songwriter Claude Michel Schönberg when he released his concept album.

Then later, in London 1985, when the musical ''Les misérables'' was premiered, the poster Cosette is used.


I hope you read this book and I recommend this book and if we read this book a lot of time, we don't tire :)
And the person who posses this book is me(Chloe OH)

Then, by using this:

I wrote about cartoon.
And also the thing that we should keep in mind when we teach younger students.

When I was young, I could remember cartoon. It was''Courage Cowardly Dog''
Well, I could remember about this, there were 3 main characters: one pink courage dog, dog's grandmother and grandfather. And the accident happens every day like there are monsters... etc coming to their home, so the dog Courage overcame his fear and save his grandparents.
I really like this cartoon and it is very fun.

And I also had experiment with making animations. To make I used powtoons. My cartoon was about ''Let's take vitamin''.

Hi,
On Monday 12th september 2016, in our design class we worked how to decorate our blog.We learned how to make our own logo by using this site: https://logomakr.com/  and also google drawing...etc
Then,we also learned how to colors coordinated of our logos,menus...etc by using this site: https://designschool.canva.com/blog/100-color-combinations/
We also asked some people what they think of our own blog,so we recoded or wrote what they said.
Unfortunately, I was absent in this day so, I tried those things but it was very hard,so I couldn't do it. But some days later I asked to the teacher how can I do those things. So, he explained to me nicely and so, I can do it.

Then, I asked to some people what they like and dislike about my blog. I asked one of my family member. And she said that the good things about my blog is that my blog is very attractive, has nice posts, and also she liked my blog's logo and she said that the logo is very cute. However, she disliked about my posts because there aren't a lot of different types of posts. That means that she wants the posts about travel, cook foods, beauty...etc. Her suggestion was to write a different kind of posts.

I asked also other people and they liked about my blog because there are some fun photos, they also liked my logo. But they disliked about my some posts because sometimes my posts are long and there are some people who don't like read long post because it is too boring. Their suggestion was too simplify my posts(write more short than before)

They are all good suggestions because if there are people coming see my blog, in my blog they should be different type of categories, then they are going to like my blog. Also, if my post are too long, the visitors are going to be boring to read.

                                                                                                                                                                                     (This photo is blog's logo that I made:)

Hi,
On Monday, in design class, the teacher explained the instructions to the students,he told us to watch these 5 blogs from our RIS school design website,choose 2 blogs that we want to write about it,then to write the good things about 2 blogs.So,I looked at this 5 blogs and I choose 2 blogs.I explained the good things about the blogs.Here is the link about the post that I wrote:

http://dawonoh.blogspot.kr/2016/09/example-of-good-blogs.html

The 5 blogs blogs are very good blogs and I like it:)

Watching someone's blogs is very good things,helpful and very useful to make our own blog because through that we can look what skills,techniques they use to write the posts,how they decorate the blog,what type of post they write,.........etc so,we can consult other people's blogs to help to write us.
Blog is the thing that we can progress by writing posts a lot;)

To write my post,I didn't really use skills to write.I just capture photo and add cool image that I found from Google and I controlled the size of image because it was too big.

Bye and have a good day to everyone:)

Example of good blogs.

Hi,
Today, I look for this blog: http://www.recode.net/
The good things of this blog is that there is many types of topics like:commerce,media,social,...etc

And also in the website, we can see about the the writers. Because sometimes we don't know if there if the information about the post are not sure. So, we have to look.

There is also the photo about the news that help more to understand the news and there are the red lines that represent the most important sentences and words.If we click the red lines it goes to the other sites that explain about the red lines. I like those things.

I also watch this blog: http://everydaycarry.com/
This blog is very useful for the people who interested about the things that we carry every day with us.Like pens,watches,bags...etc

This blog explains the things that we carry every day and the explication of the useful products with the cool images.And also the writer of this blog put the link of amazon that we click the bottom and it goes to the amazon so,we can buy directly and very easily.

Here is the the photo that shows the product and the link of amazon.
It is very helpful because if there are the people who don't have any ideas like''What can I buy?''
Then,we can search and look at in this site.And also for the presents of parents or friends.

I really recommend this site because of those reasons.

The site that I interest is this site:  http://www.academie-en-ligne.fr/
because it is useful for the people who don't go to school in France because there is the lessons,exercises,tests.This site is made by the government of France,so there aren't any faults.
Like in the capital of Republic of Korea,Seoul there are 3 french schools.But there is 2 schools that are not cerficate from office of education.So,one of this school used the site to teach the students.
I use also this site because I will going to pass the test called"Baccalaureat", so now I don't go to the french school,so I prepared with those documents from this site ''Cned'' with my french teacher.
I really recommend this site for the people who go to french school and who need the documents to study.There are all the subjects from the elementary school to high school.


I recommend those 3 sites.
And I hope my information are useful and helpful to you.

Advantages of using blogger - first post

First of all, using Blogger, we know that it is simple to use it.

It has also many features. In addition, the design is very simple, so that everyone can learn. It is also beautiful. 

On the other hand, Blogger is recommanded by teachers but Word press is more beautiful.Blogger  is customizable. Blogger is complicated but it is very good to use when we know how to use it.
Word press is not simple to use,there aren't many features,not simple design.

In my opinion I prefer Blogger than Word press.
