  2. L’enfance en France p.30(= childhood in France) • In France, the number of births is rising to 2.02 children per mother • More than 50% of births are out of wedlock • Moreover, 50% of parents are divorced. • In order to respond to these social changes, the State heavily subsidizes any childcare workers and home-based nannies for kids aged 0-2 years, towns and cities are increasing the number of day care facilities and child minding facilities to look after kids while their moms work • At the age of 3 years, kids go to school • Since 1980 six times as many kids over the age of 5 are obese today • More than 70% of kids aged 8-10 years play sports, but often individual sports • Kids spend more time in front of the TV than they do in class and start adolescence earlier Expressions: • Le berceau de son enfance(= that is where he grew up) • C’estl’enfance de l’art(= its really simple) • C’est un jeud’enfant(= it’s real easy to do) • Il a replongédansl’enfance(= he’s acting like a child) VOCAB: La naissance, hors, subventionner, les ‘nousnous’, à domicile, obese, lier

  3. La Famille p.30(= family) • Even though the French claim to be strongly tied to their families, the traditional model of family has evolved considerably • Approximately 80% of adults living in couples are married with about 270,000 marriages per year • Opposing marriage is UNION LIBRE (= civil union) which counts for more than 3 million couples • Today, 1 out of every 5 couples is not married and in 50% of cases, the first child is often born out of wedlock • The PACS (PacteCivil de Solidarité) was established in 1999 as a form of legal contract of union between two people of different or same sex. • Today there is 1 PACS for every 2 traditional marriages • The number of single parent families with one or more kids (20% of kids live in single parent households) continues to rise: there are 1.8 million single parent families usually due to separation or divorce • In fact 1 out of every 2 marriages ends in divorce. • Remarriage gives rise to reconstituted families with step siblings living together under one roof • There are also more than 8 million single people.

  4. La Francophonie: Les Familles en Afrique p.31(= The French-Speaking World: Families in Africa) • In the majority of African countries, family structure is determined by traditional values • The father is head of household: it falls to him to work to provide for his family • The mother is in charge of domestic chores, especially raising children and teaching them the values of their culture • Sometimes, in contrast to the western notion of a nuclear family, African families are often extended families: often, grandparents, sometimes, uncles, aunts and cousins all live under the same roof • The notion of family has a communal sense where ethnic groups or even the inhabitants of a village make up a macrocosm of a family • Polygamy is also practiced by certain ethnic and religious groups, which is more or less accepted by the younger generation • Family values are different in relation to differing socioeconomic, religious and cultural situations in African nations • Younger generations both men and women tend to favor education and economic success • These younger generations are changing traditional values: African families are also familiar with divorce, single parent families and reconstituted families VOCAB: Incomber à, les tâches (f), inculquer, élargi, privilégier

La région PACA (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur) • As the song says so well: ‘there is sky, sun and sea” • Immortalized landscapes thanks to Van Gogh and Cézanne, mythical towns such as Nice, Cannes and St Tropez • Marseille is the second largest city in France and one of the oldest ports in Europe (founded in 600 BC). It is a cosmopolitan city and symbolizes the link between France and the Mediterranean world, maghrébin (Morocco, Algeria & Tunisia), African and the Near East. • The PACA region also has a noticeable accent made famous by the movies and legendary actors (Raimu, Fernandel, Daniel Auteuil) • The region was made famous by writers such as Marcel Pagnol, by artists both French and foreign who linked their name to this area: Picasso, Matisse, Colette, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Françoise Sagan, Brigitte Bardot, Alfred Hitchcock, Winston Churchill. • And of course, the Côte d’Azur is also one of the favorite haunts for international stars and celebrities today • Beyond being a legend, the PACA region is also the 3rd most dynamic region in France: a center for scientific research (Nice), university center (Aix-Marseille), chemical and petrochemical industry (Marseille), digital industry (Nice), aeronautical industry (Vallée du Rhône), luxury goods (the perfumeries of Grasse) and agriculture (vineyards and fruit growing) • Don’t forget tourism with the ocean and landscapes (Alpes de haute Provence, Montatne de la Sainte Victoire, the Lubéron area), its beautiful villages (St Paul de Vence, St Tropez) and also luxury tourism (Cannes, Nice, Antibes) VOCAB: Le Proche Orient, unevedette, au-delà, numérique
