Unit 63 The Report

B: I finished my report on the French Revolution last night.

G: How did you finish it so fast?

I'm still trying to find books about it. B: There was something about the French Revolution on TV last week.

I wrote down the names of all the people who were on the show. G: What did you do next?

B: I went to the library and looked for their books.

It was very easy, especially because I already understood what they wanted to say. G: I guess I could have done that, but I missed the TV show.

Why did Ms. Dessard make us write about French history, anyway? She's a French language teacher, not a history teacher. B: Ms. Dessard said that if we want to understand the language, we should understand the culture. I don't know if I speak better French, but I know more about French history now. If the French Revolution had never happened, French would be a very different language. G: You're right.

I'm going to talk to Ms. Dessard now. I'll see you later.
