Exercice 2
Voici maintenant un texte loufoque (généré par l'IA) à lire à haute voix pour s'entraîner à identifier et lire correctement les mots qui ont des lettres muettes.
1ère lecture
It was a subtle Wednesday morning when I found myself climbing up the hill to visit my friend, the gnome. He was preparing a feast of champagne and lasagna.
"Come in, come in!" he said, "We've been waiting for an hour. Honestly, I thought you got lost in a sandwhich or something."
I laughed, "No, just took me half an hour to find my yoghurt. You know how it is."
As we sat down, I noticed his school project on the table. "What's this?" I asked, pointing to a pair of knitting needles and a knife.
"Oh, just some knuckles I'm knitting for my knife collection," he replied. "You should have known, I always knock before starting a new hobby."
By the time we finished talking about autumn and the best way to cook salmon, I was knackered. I decided to take a nap in the cupboard, but not before checking my receipt for the scissors I bought last week.
"Don't forget the buffet starts at noon," the gnome reminded me. "And make sure to wrap up warm, it's chilly outside."
