Tu me décrivais le melting pot de New York et me demandais comment était la France. :Eh bien, la France aussi est un melting pot. :Il y a eu beaucoup d'immigration après-guerre, portugaise, italienne et espagnole. :De plus, la France a eu beaucoup de colonies, comme en Afrique du Nord et en Asie ; c'est pourquoi nous avons beaucoup de population vietnamienne et maghrébine. :Encore aujourd'hui, la France a des départements et des territoires dans le monde entier. :On peut dire que c'est un pays multiculturel ! J'espère que tu viendras bientôt découvrir tout ça. :Bien à toi, Laure. ----Formal English---- Laure: Dear John, Thank you for your letter from last month. You were describing to me the melting pot in New York and asking me how France was. Well, France is also a melting pot. There had been a lot of immigration after the war--Portuguese, Italian and Spanish. Moreover, France used to have several colonies, such as in North Africa and Asia; that's why we have a lot of Vietnamese people and Maghrebis. France still has overseas territories all over the world, even nowadays. It's true to say that it's a multicultural country! I hope that you'll come to discover that soon. Take care, Laure. --------------------------- Learn French with FrenchPod101! Don't forget to stop by FrenchPod101.com for more great French Language Learning Resources!
