Transcription du texte

J’aime chercher des fossiles sur la plage. J’adore cette activité parce que ça me détend, j’aime être seule pour pouvoir me ressourcer et me vider la tête. Je prends souvent des outils avec moi comme une truelle ou un marteau, et pour protéger mes genoux j’utilise quelque chose qui s’appelle des genouillères. Pendant quelques heures, je ne pense pas au travail. Si je peux, j’essaye d’y aller toutes les deux semaines.

Traduction

I enjoy looking for fossils on the beach. I love doing this because it relaxes me; I like being on my own so I can recharge my batteries and clear my head. I often take tools with me, such as a trowel or a hammer, and to protect my knees I wear something called knee pads. For a few hours, I don’t think about work. If I can, I try to go every two weeks.

Question 1. What is my favourite hooby? Looking for fossils

Question 2. Which tools do I use? A trowel and a hammer

Question 3. When do I do this activity? Every two weeks
