Bonjour, je m’appelle Simon. J’ai douze ans.
Mon anniversaire c’est le cinq mai. J’aime
regarder un film d’action parce que c’est très
nul cependant je n’aime pas regarder une
comédie car c’est ennuyeux.
Hier, je vais regarder un film romantique
parce que c’est très amusant intéressant
mais je ne vais pas regarder un western car
c’est nul.
De plus, je dirais que ce weekend je vais
regardé un film de guerre car c’est
incroyablement super et je ne vais pas
regarder un western car c’est hyper nul.
Dans le futur, je regardais des films
romantiques parce qu’ils étaient super mais
maintenant je trouve que ce n’est pas mon
truc. Quelle horreur!
