School's closed today!L'école est fermée aujourd'hui !
We had a snowball fight.On a fait une bataille de boules de neige.
We went sledging on the hill.On est allés faire de la luge sur la colline.
I was building a snowman when Dad called me.J'étais en train de faire un bonhomme de neige quand papa m'a appelé.
The roads were slippery.Les routes étaient glissantes.

Au Royaume-Uni, quelques centimètres de neige suffisent parfois à fermer les écoles : c'est le snow day, la journée de joie des élèves ! On fait une bataille de boules de neige (a snowball fight), un bonhomme de neige (a snowman) ou de la luge (sledging). Pour raconter, on combine deux temps : le prétérit continu pour l'action en cours (I was building a snowman) et le prétérit simple pour l'action courte qui l'interrompt (when my brother threw a snowball at me!).

Mise en situation : le lendemain, au collège

Ethan : Did you enjoy the snow day yesterday?
Tu as profité de la journée de neige hier ?
Mia : It was amazing! When I woke up, everything was white.
C'était génial ! Quand je me suis réveillée, tout était blanc.
Ethan : What did you do?
Qu'est-ce que tu as fait ?
Mia : I was building a snowman in the garden when my brother threw a snowball at me!
J'étais en train de faire un bonhomme de neige dans le jardin quand mon frère m'a lancé une boule de neige !
Ethan : Ha ha! We went sledging on the hill. I fell off three times!
Ha ha ! On est allés faire de la luge sur la colline. Je suis tombé trois fois !
Mia : I hope it snows again next week!
J'espère qu'il neigera encore la semaine prochaine !
