From february, 20th 2013 to february, 22nd 2013, I worked as a trainee in a company called SOCOTEC. Every morning, I arrived at about 9:00 a.m and I usually left at 6:00 p.m.

This firm is one of the 173 agency of SOCOTEC in France. The groupe SOCOTEC is a leader in his category (It's a company with jobs about the highway engineering). The SOCOTEC's main assets are:

- It's the best french society for the construction's        inspection                                                                                                 - SOCOTEC has in addition to more than 173 agency in France, also 27 training centres (80 000 trainees). SOCOTEC is as well present in 45 other countries (Libanon, Cameroon,Chona,Polynesia,Roumania, Togo ...)                                                                                                                 - The groupe has 100 000 customers around the world                                                                                                                                     - The group's values are: the solidarity, the confidence, the commitment, the impartiality and the competence

During my work placement, I had particulary to listen to a lot of people and I hadn't missions because the director didn't want that I go on a building site, because he said that:" it's too dangerous". But a day, the director was agree for that I see an asbestos' sample and all days, I help the secretary to open the letters.     

During the three days, I was the most of the time with different collegues of my tutor because in the company people have a lot of diffrents jobs. Thanks to them, I learned a lot of things.                                                        My work experience was a good experience for me because I discovered again new jobs and also the professional word.

But I don't know now if when I am older I would do one of these jobs.       JB

Today, I want to speak about the eighty-third Geneva exhibition. This meeting gathers new cars. There are a lot of supercars like Ferarri, Porsche, Mac Larren, Lamborghini and Audi but there are also smaller cars like Renault, Peugeot... Every year, this meeting welcomes around 700 000 peoples from Europe, principaly from France, Italy, Geermany and, of course, from Switzerland.

This year, the principal novelties are:

  -the Lamborghini Veneno produced in only three copies. It costs 3,5 millions euros  and the three copies are already sold. On this car, the top speed is 355 Km/h and go from 0 to 100 Km/h in 3 seconds.

  -the Rolls Royce Wraith, a sports car. It costs around 250 000 euros, but inside, it's the top of the new technology. You can see in front of the car the famous statue "Spirit of Ecstay" like all other Rolls Royce. With this car, you can go to 300 Km/h (the record for a Rolls)!

I would like to go to this exhibition, but Geneva is too far from Rennes

      ...And a lot of new supercar on this video : http://videos.tf1.fr/auto-moto/grand-format-le-salon-automobile-de-geneve-2013-7875021.html

I choose This song because it is so beautiful.

 I know it but because some singer sing along Goldman songs. During this song it's Leslie & Ivyrise. Ivyrise is a British rock band from Portsmouth, consisting of lead vocalist, songwriter and pianist Ben Falinski, lead guitarist Dan Tanner, drummer Josh Thaxton-Key and bass guitarist Mark Nagle who is singing. Leslie was born 4 february 1985.  The clip is in London

 I really like there voices.    But that I like the more it's the text.   Here it is : 

I can give you a voice, bread with rythms and soul
the heart of a Welsh boy who's lost his home
put it in harmony , let the words ring
carry your thoughts in the song we sing
Je te donne mes notes , je te donne mes mots
quand ta voix les emporte a ton propre tempo
une épaule fragile et solide a la fois
ce que j'imagine et ce que je crois .

Je te donne toutes mes différences,
tous ces défauts qui sont autant de chance
on sera jamais des standards des gens bien comme il faut
je te donne ce que j'ai ce que je vaux

I can give you the force of my ancestral pride
the will to go on when i'm hurt deep inside
whatever the feeling, whatever the way
it helps me to go on from day to day
je te donne nos doutes et notre indicible espoir
les questions que les routes ont laissées dans l'histoire
nos filles sont brunes et l'on parle un peu fort
et l'humour et l'amour sont nos trésors

Je te donne toutes mes différences...

Je te donne , donne , donne ce que je suis

I can give you my voice, bred with rythm and soul,
je te donne mes notes , je te donne ma voix
the songs that i love, and the stories i've told
ce que j'imagine et ce que je crois
i can make you feel good even when i'm down
les raisons qui me portent et ce stupide espoir
my force is a platform that you can climb on
une épaule fragile et forte a la fois
je te donne, je te donne tout ce que je vaux , ce que je suis, mes dons,
mes défauts, mes plus belles chances, mes différences

These words are very magnificient
