Hello, dear writers!
Another new topic for you to write about.
I hope many will participate enthusiastically, and that you'll do it as well as ever...
You mustn't be afraid of making mistakes... We LOVE mistakes,
because they give us an opportunity to explain and correct!
Here is today's topic:"What would you do if you saw somebody shoplifting?" 140 to 160 words".
Voici le rappel des modalités de la première partie de l'exercice :
1. Je vous demande une EXPRESSION sur le sujet proposé à m’envoyer en mp dès que possible …
2. Le plus tôt possible, cette première expression sera publiée sur le Forum, et CHACUN sera libre de « corriger » UNE FOIS ( en collant le texte et indiquant les erreurs EN BLEU, et en soulignant ce qui vous semble maladroit et que vous voudriez changer, sans donner la « correction » (forme correcte), à ce moment là, comme il se doit.) Si un autre membre a déjà indiqué des erreurs en bleu, VOUS DEVEZ repartir de cette correction et la confirmer ou la corriger... Un seul essai à la fois sera publié pour corriger… Vous pourrez ensuite donner vos suggestions de correction (en vert!)
IMPORTANT ! Pour me faciliter le transfert des corrections successives de vos travaux sur le site, pourriez vous m'indiquer par un "(" le mot ou segment de phrase qui devrai(en)t être modifié(s), s'il vous plaît ?
ie. (I'm repeating for years... ou (was not only to want something,... Pourquoi ? Simplement parce que le site ne "garde" pas les indications de couleurs ou de soulignement etc. dès que l'on copie...
Donc, je prends vos travaux, je les corrige au fur et à mesure avec les codes "bleu" ou "souligné" ou "vert", mais au moment où je vous poste la correction, je perds tout mon travail... 
et dois tout refaire mot à mot en direct avec deux fenêtres ou même deux écrans pour un travail fastidieux de copie point par point! Merci de votre aide !
Les modalités complètes sont accessibles sur le lien suivant :
Lien internet
( Je vous les rappellerai au fur et à mesure de la progression du travail )
Cet exercice sera ... ce que vous en ferez :

Hello dears!
Here is our first answer... full of questions and reflexions...
EXPRESSION N°1: please, indicate the possible mistakes and underline what is clumsy.
What should I do if I see someone shoplifting? There's not much I can do
1) I call the police: by the time they arrive, the thief will already be long gone.
2) I tell the shop assistant that an item has just been stolen, it's already too late, they're so quick; The theft happens in such a short time: the time it takes to realise, you don't see the thief any more.
3) I once saw a woman to steal a dress, I ran very quickly and snatched her bag to get the stolen dress back, and well, I was wrong because she accused me of assaulting her, and of course she had witnesses who had seen me empty her bag.
The stolen goods must be recovered inside the shop and you are not allowed to touch the person who has stolen.
When the goods are displayed outside or inside near the exit with the door wide open

Hello dears!
a lot, Magie. You have become a master at correcting mistakes! Very well done! What you haven't changed, and might be a little clumsy, will be given in the correction! 
EXPRESSION N°2: please, indicate the possible mistakes and underline what is clumsy.
If I saw someone stealing, I know it is important to not want to play the cops, because it should be dangerous. I will tell in the very loud voice : « You think that anybody hasn 't seen you ? You take the people for an idiot ! I have seen you and you have stole a blue Tshirt and I have seen you put it in your bag. » ! Of course, the seller will just wave to the security guard which is always to the door and he will stop the woman which was running to the door. He has right to do it. I don’t.
One of my friend tells me that his girl (8 years old) has stole a big beautiful taw at a bag in a shop. He was furious, lessoned her and obliged her to go with him to the shop to give the taw to the seller. The girl was petrified… but the woman seller laughed and want to give her the taw. My friend was more furious, he refuse and explain her girl that if you steal a pin, you will steal an ox… Good lesson.

1) I call the police: by the time they arrive, the thief will already be long gone.
2) I tell the shop assistant that an item has just been stolen, it's already too late, they're so quick; The theft happens in such a short time: the time it takes to realise, you don't see the thief any more.

1) I call the police: by the time they arrive, the thief will already be long gone.
2) I tell the shop assistant that an item has just been stolen, it's already too late, (they: le sujet devait être explicité sous forme de nom !) 're so quick; The theft happens (temps?)in such a short time: the time it takes to realise, you don't see the thief any more.
3) I once saw a woman to steal a dress(b), I ran very quickly and snatched her bag to get the stolen dress back, (and well, I was wrong because she accused me of assaulting her, (and of course she had witnesses who had seen me empty her bag.(phrase trop longue... Trop de coordinations (emplois de "and") qui rendent le texte maladroit.)
The stolen goods must be recovered inside the shop and you are not allowed to touch the person who has stolen.[You're not allowed to touch anybody!
]When the goods are displayed outside or inside near the exit with the door wide open, Tell me what to do? 165 mots
(a)« Should » est un modal qui signifie : devrais/ devrait. Il appartient au registre de la suggestion, du conseil… et s’emploie donc plus souvent avec un prétérite (modal) qui indique l’irréel.
(b) I once saw a woman to steal a dress : après le verbe "to see someone", pas d’infinitif complet. Les deux formes possibles sont la forme en –ing : "I saw a woman stealing": je la surprends en pleine action, au milieu de celle-ci. OU «I saw a woman steal», j’ai vu l’action dans tout son déroulement, du début à la fin.
