【每天都是地球日！】 雖然世界地球日過了，還是要愛地球喔！
Tous les jours sont les jours de la Terre !
Lets "make the planet great again" !

Que faites-vous pour protéger la planet ?

這段影片有很多實用的單字和片語，還有中法字幕！
Bureau Français de Taipei - 法國在台協會 製做了這麼活潑有趣又實用的影片，大家還有其他愛護地球的環保行為是影片中沒有提到的嗎？

雖然每天都忙忙的，Iris 一定會找個時間好好地跟大家分享運用這部影片裡的實用字彙照樣造句學法文 :)

PS. 照樣造句是 Iris 覺得很有效的外語學習方式，自己這麼學，也要求學生將每次學到的重要片語照樣造句寫作業。光是懂意思，你只學了一半。熟悉句型之後，能自如運用了，那才真正是你自己的。
