Aujourd’hui et demain, c’est le « Téléthon 2008 ». De nombreux artistes se réunissent pour ce marathon télévisé afin de réunir des dons pour lutter contre les maladies de la myopathie qui sont génétiques et pour l’instant irréversibles… Ce programme dure ainsi 48 heures sans interruption, avec des artistes qui interviennent pour cette cause, des médecins et des malades qui témoignent et enfin, la diffusion en direct des différentes villes de France qui participent pour récolter des dons. Le Téléthon est très connu en France et pas mal de personnes participent au Téléthon, chacun à sa manière, afin de récolter des dons pour cette association. Je dois vous avouer que je n’aime pas du tout regarder ce programme télévisuel car je le trouve ennuyeux et parfois pas très joyeux… Par contre, moi aussi je participe à ma manière, car cette année, je vais courir pour une ville où je joue habituellement au tennis en banlieue parisienne. Une majorité des membres de mon club vont aussi aller courir aussi pour le Téléthon. Un parcours est organisé et à chaque tour fini, on récolte un euro pour l’association. C’est sûr que ce n’est pas beaucoup, surtout que je ne suis pas un grand coureur mais je vais donner le meilleur de moi-même. J’espère faire mieux que l’année dernière, où j’avais été assez pitoyable malgré toute ma bonne volonté ! Une bonne raison, peut-être, pour arrêter de fumer, je crois ! Et vous, participez-vous à des actions sociales comme celles-ci et avez-vous des programmes télévisuels comme le Téléthon par chez vous ? ----Formal English---- Are you racing for a cure...or a cab? Today and tomorrow, the Telethon 2008 will take place. Several artists get together for this televised marathon, which raises money to fight Muscular Dystrophy. Muscular Dystrophy is genetic and still incurable. This program runs uninterrupted for forty-eight hours and features artists working for the cause, doctors and muscular dystrophy patients relating their experiences, and live broadcasts from different cities in France that are working to raise money. The Telethon is well-known in France and many people participate in it, each in his own way to raise funds for the cause. I have to admit that I don't like to watch the program, because I find it boring and sometimes a bit too festive. On the other hand, I do what I can for the cause. This year, in a town on the outskirts of Paris where I usually play tennis, I am going to run in a marathon to help raise money for the Telethon. Most of the members of my sports club are going to run for the Telethon as well. In the marathon they organized, we collect one Euro for the Muscular Dystrophy Association after each stage of it is finished. That's not a lot of money, especially since I'm not a great runner, but I am going to put forth my best efforts. I hope I'll do better than I did last year when I was pathetic despite all of my good intentions! This is a good reason to quit smoking, I think! Do you participate in charity-giving activities like this? Do you have telethons for charity like ours where you live? --------------------------- Learn French with FrenchPod101!
