During Easter week, the effects of the University strikes in France are still in the news. Therefore, the first semester students will recover their exams during the two weeks which follow the two weeks of Easter vacation. That is why I have no classes for a month. At the same time, Easter is being celebrated tomorrow (Sunday) and Monday when all stores and businesses will be closed. On the radio, the news is explaining that the children will hunt for Easter eggs in the gardens this weekend and that Easter celebrates spring and the season of tourism. In fact, many reservations are made all over France during the Easter vacation.
L'AUTRES CHOSES/OTHER THINGS:

Par conséquence, les Français luttent aussi contre l'obésité.

One can find these products in all the supermarkets, etc. In fact, yesterday on the radio, I heard of a new method for ameliorating obesity in France. Consequently, the French are also fighting against obesity.

In the news here in France, I sometimes hear that there are many children up for adoption, especially handicapped children.

In a local store, I recently purchased three activity books for teaching French. In that case, this series called "colo écolo," invites everyone to discover the animals of the world and their habitat, with a theme of protecting the planet for future generations. The covers of these books are made from paper produced from the wood of sustainable forests. The interior pages of the books are made from 100% recycled paper. These two types of paper help support and respect the environment. Therefore, I bought the books titled: "Life in the gardens," "Life in the forests," and "Life in the sea and in the ocean."
