Transcription du texte

Il y a plusieurs choses que je déteste dans la vie. En voici deux.
D’abord, c’est d’avoir les chaussettes mouillées. Il n’y a rien de pire que de marcher dans l’eau en chaussettes. Pour moi, la sensation est tellement désagréable que je dois les enlever tout de suite. Et puis, je n’aime pas quand les gens ne respectent pas mon espace personnel. Il n’y a aucune raison de se coller aux autres !

Question: Qu’est-ce que je déteste le plus ?

Notes

Adjectives like those highlighted in the text need to agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. Most adjectives usually come after the noun, but some (BAGS adjectives: beauty, age, goodness, size) are placed before. I cover this topic in Lessons 6 and 13 of my Complete French Course, on https://learnfrenchwithalexa.com.

Réponses

Les chaussettes mouillées, et les gens qui occupent mon espace personnel.

Traduction

There are several things I hate in life. Here are two of them. Firstly, I hate having wet socks. There’s nothing worse than walking through water in your socks. For me, the feeling is so unpleasant that I have to take them off straight away. And secondly, I don’t like it when people don’t respect my personal space – there’s no reason to stick right up against other people!
