Aim of the learning journey

A town is a day with times, not a list of adjectives. This trip already happened for the narrator. Yours will not copy the fries.

Text written for this class

Last October I took the 7.12 train from Lyon to Marseille. I sat in carriage 14, seat 41, next to a woman who slept until Avignon. I missed the stop announcement because my phone had no battery. A guard told me: you get off at Saint-Charles, not at the port.

My cousin Nour met me under the clock, not outside. She was twenty minutes late.

She held a blue umbrella although it was not raining. We walked to the Vieux-Port and I did not swim: the wind was too strong, and I had no towel.

We ate fries at 3 pm from a stall called Chez Marco. They cost 4 euros.

Nour paid. I paid the bus back, the 82, at 6.40 pm.

I wanted to see the sea at night. Nour said no. Her mother eats at 7.30 and does not wait. We saw the sea for twelve minutes, from the bus window. That is the whole trip. It is still the best day of that month.

Reading and questions

Three questions

Which train, which carriage, which seat, and who slept until Avignon?
Where did Nour wait, why was the blue umbrella odd, and why did the narrator not swim?
What did the fries cost, who paid, which bus went back, and why was the sea only twelve minutes?

Useful lines from this text, not from a phrasebook: 'I sat in…', 'She was twenty minutes late.', 'We saw it for twelve minutes.'
