Life on the Moon

So they ve discovered water sources on the moon!! "First lights of hope for founding life on the moon.." is the expression that throws me into my imagination:

"Hi, Where are you from?"

"From the moon....

Then I started thinking, wait!!! there s much less gravity on the moon, which means your face, your ass,your boobs are not subject to gravity!!!! Does that mean u can stay younger fo longer on the moon????

Then wait!!! less gravity means one step can take you three times further!! SO you get where you wanna get in less time?!! So time passes much slower on the moon??? Does that mean less stress, happier people???

Then I start to wake up from my imagination with the title of the next news: "YOU HAVE A PAPER TO PREPARE FOR MONDAY, GET BACK TO YOUR WORK!!"

Who said French people wont speak English??

I guess that there is this general understanding or experience for most people to think that French people do not speak English even though they can or they do.

Well, I did and do not experience so at all! Obviously I have a certain non-francophone accent when I speak French, so people realize that I am not French at all when I speak the language. I most frequently get the "where are you from?" question when I speak, but even worse, sometimes people reply to me in English. I kind of feel offended for my french when this happens but I try not to loose my cool and reply back in french and say, "dont worry, I understand and speak french". Sometimes it is persuasive enough and I get to continue the conversation in french,but sometimes it is not the case and they still talk back in English. So then, I wonder why so many people get the idea that French people would not speak English even though it seems like they can to some people around me.
