Dear community,
We have a fun and creative new contest for you to participate in this month! With this contest you will get to truly practice your French skills by writing the ending of a short story. When you submit your ending by 22/07/2024, you will have the chance of winning a €50,00 Libristo.eu gift voucher that you can use to purchase a book or an e-book.
How it works:
Read the starting point of story below
Brainstorm possible endings
Write an ending to the story in French
The ending needs to be between 75 – 150 words
Have fun!
This how the story begins:
Une ville décide de bannir les voitures pendant un mois, révélant des avantages inattendus pour ses habitants. Les rues se transformèrent en havres de paix où les enfants jouaient librement et les voisins se rencontraient spontanément. Cependant, au fur et à mesure que le mois avançait, des défis inattendus surgirent..
(English translation : A town decides to ban cars for a month, revealing unexpected benefits for its residents. The streets transformed into havens of peace where children played freely and neighbors met spontaneously. However, as the month progressed, unexpected challenges arose...)
Final notes:
(1) Be reminded not to write anything that could be considered offensive. In case of doubt, please check our OLS Forum Netiquette and House rules; (2) You can only submit a maximum of one comment; (3) There will be ONE winner who will be picked at random with a raffle
