Now, tell us who is you favorite team and your favorite player in the Euro 2020. You just have to copy and change

information of underlined sentences in the text below. Use the translation on next page to understand the text.

Mon équipe préférée est l’équipe de France “les Bleus”. À mon avis, c’est la

meilleure équipe au monde. La dernière fois que les Bleus ont gagné l’Euro, c’était

en 1984 et j’espère vraiment qu’elle va gagner l’Euro 2021 cette fois-ci.

Mon joueur préféré c’est Karim Benzema. Il est né le 19 décembre 1987 à Lyon,

donc il a 34 ans. C’est un joueur international français évoluant au post d’avant-

centre au Real Madrid. C’est le dixième meilleur buteur de l’histoire de l’équipe

de France avec un total de 27 buts. Pour l’Euro 2020, il a rejoint l’équipe de

France.

Physiquement, il est assez grand car il mesure 1.85m. Il a les cheveux noirs, il a

une barbe et il a les yeux marron. Il a deux enfants, une fille qui s’appelle Mélia

et qui a neuf ans. Et un garçon qui s’appelle Ibrahim et qui a quatre ans. Sa

femme s’appelle Cora Gauthier.

Perso, Karim Benzema est mon sportif préféré, il m’inspire beaucoup car il est

très modeste et je voudrais vraiment le rencontrer un jour, ce serait mon rêve.

À plus - Tom

4. Euro 2020 - Qui est ton équipe/to joueur préféré(e)? Who is your favorite team and player

Translation

My favorite team is the French team “ the blues”. In my opinion, it’s the best

team in the world. The last time that the Blues won the Euro, it was in 1984 and

I really hope they will win the Euro 2021 this time.

My favorite player is Karim Benzema. He was born on the 19 December 1987 at

Lyon, therefore he is 34 years old. He is an international French player playing

as a center-forward at Real Madrid. He is the tenth top scorer in the history of

the French team with a total of 27 goals. For the Euro 2020, he joined the

French team.

Physically, he is quite tall as he measures 1.85m. He has black hair, he has a bear

and brown eyes. He has two children, a girl who is called Mélia and who is nine

years old. And a boy who is called Ibrahim and who is four years old. His wife is

called Cora Gauthier.

Personally, Karim Benzema is my favorite sporty man, he inspires me a lot as he

is very modest and I would really like to meet him one day, that would be my

dream.

See you later - Tom

My grand-father, sitting in a soft sofa

Speaks to me with a such a mild voice, so soft

Who caresses me like a silk scarf.

You know my little one, the world is yours
