D'abord,
le texte sur lequel portent les questionsLynn Kidder had two jobs _computer programming and teaching the piano. She and her husband earned 2,700 a month, but there were too busy to be happy it. Lynn wanted to play the piano, not teach it. SO, they took a course in voluntary simplicity. They learned how to cut their spending and make the most of their savings. After four years of voluntary simplicity, they gave up all their jobs and joined the new leisured class.
The newly leisured call themselves downshifters. Nobody knows how many there are, or whether insecurity, stress or ecological concern is their main motive. But Lynn Kidder is sure the movment is “speading wildly, recognised as a smarter way to live. You make space in your life for what you really car about”.
The apprentice downsizer’s firts task is Find out how much money you have earned in your life and compare it with what you’ve got now . Step two is to work out your net hourly wage, keep track of every cent you spend and ask : Did I get fulfilment, satisfaction or value in proportion to the energy spent? Souldn’t I choose quality of life over standard of living
The advice is : buy what you need and don’t go”shopping”; service your appliances, do it yourself, buy in on sales_provided it’s something your really need or want, buy used; don’t go into debt on credit cards, walk and cycle.
Downshifters predict that a less consumerist future will restore a sense of community. As the movment spreads, there will be more people per household goods, , more coorporation in repairing household goods, more car pools and tool sharing. Through simple living people are not-dropping out,they are actually dropping in: to community, to family, to relashionships.
Refugees from hard life find work better on the other side. At Charlene MacMahonwrote in “the Seattle's simple living newsletter”
When you simplify your life, you do fewer of the things yyou don’t like to do. Your nurture only those people and relashionships which enhance your life. This is not about deprivation_this is about choice

Infos sur ce texteSimple living (or voluntary simplicity) is a lifestyle in which individuals consciously choose to minimize the 'more-is-better' pursuit of wealth and consumption. Adherents choose simple living for a variety of reasons, including spirituality, health, increase in 'quality time' for family and friends, stress reduction, conservation, social justice or anti-consumerism, while others choose to live more simply for reasons of personal taste or personal economy.
Simple living as a concept is distinguished from those living in forced poverty, as it is a voluntary lifestyle choice. Although asceticism may resemble voluntary simplicity, proponents of simple living are not all ascetics. The term "downshifting" is often used to describe the act of moving from a lifestyle of greater consumption towards a lifestyle based on voluntary simplicity
Some people who practice voluntary simplicity act consciously to reduce their need for purchased services or goods and, by extension, their need to sell their time for money. Some will spend the extra free time this generates helping their family or others in a voluntary way. During the holiday season, such people often perform alternative giving. Others may spend the extra free time to improve their own quality of life, for example pursuing creative activities such as art and craft.
Another approach is to look very fundamentally at the whole issue of why we need to buy and consume too many resources for a good quality of life
Principles at a smaller scale than through modern nations, e.g. the ecovillage. This view is often allied with a general critique of globalization as industrial capitalism, colonial imperialism, or a neoliberal "neocolonialism." Such a pairing is not universal among practitioners of simple living, however, who may denounce such obsession with worldly affairs as distasteful or unseemly.
Opposition to paying taxes for war has led some to choose to reduce their income to a level where they would owe no taxes as a form of tax resistance.[1]
Living simply may involve reconsidering personal definitions of "appropriate technology", as Anabaptist groups such as the Amish or Mennonites have done. People who eschew modern technology are often referred to as Luddites.
People who practice simple living have diverse views on the role of technology. Some simple living adherents, such as Kirkpatrick Sale, are strong critics of technology, while others see the Internet as a key component of simple living in the future, including the reduction of an individual's carbon footprint through telecommuting and less reliance on paper. Voluntary simplicity may include high-tech components — indeed computers, Internet, photovoltaic arrays, wind and water turbines, and a variety of other cutting-edge technologies can be used to make a simple lifestyle within mainstream culture easier and more sustainable.
The idea of food miles, the number of miles a given item of food, or its ingredients, has travelled between the farm and the table, is used by simple living advocates to argue for locally grown food, and this idea is gaining mainstream acceptance. Some argue that computers and the Internet will allow people to do things they needed a car to do before, such as work or shopping, while video games and movies will make staying at home a much more attractive option.
Advertising is criticised for encouraging a consumerist mentality. Many advocates of voluntary simplicity tend to agree that cutting out, or cutting down, on television viewing is a key ingredient in simple living. Some see the Internet, podcasting, community radio or pirate radio as viable alternatives.

Why
couldn't Lynn and her husband
be thoroughly (fully,
completly)
happy ?
Réponse

Réponse de JSC
Les portions de la question et de ta réponse
en gras sont….contradictoires!
Je ne vois pas le rapport de ta réponse avec le texte que tu fournis.
Les phrases, même en anglais, commencent pas une lettre majuscule et terminent pas un point. Les virgules sont souvent utiles comme ponctuation.

On te demande :
dans quelle mesure leurs vies sont-elles des vies “simples” (les vies de Lynn et son mari) et toi tu commences en répondant
Some people who practice voluntary simplicity act consciously to reduce their need for purchased services or goods and, by extension, their need to sell their time for money.
On ne te demande pas de parler de “some people” mais de Lynn et son mari !
Ta réponse est beaucoup trop compliquée et abondante, essaie de dire simplement en quoi leurs vies sont simples Je copie ici la réponse détaillée de Météore ce matin Tu as bien du mérite Météore d'avoir essayé de t'y retrouver dans ce labyrinthe 🙂 et je demande au modé des Langues de fermer l'autre fil beaucoup trop confus, je pense ici ne rien avoir oublié d'important
Obviousa, ne copie plus le texte dans chacune de tes demandes c'est une surcharge totalement inutile

their time for money
Some people chose to minimize expenses and shopping time.
Par contre g pas compris ce que tu voulais dire par "to sell their time for money".
Ds "choose", il y "act consciously", mettre des synonymes!!! ça réduit bien le texte!!
Some will spend the extra free time this generates helping their family or others in a voluntary way.
The spared time is either used for helping others voluntarily, Adverbes, c bien aussi pour les résumés!
Others may spend the extra free time to improve their own quality of life, for example pursuing creative activities such as art and craft.
or improving their lifestyle (through creativity : je serais tentée de pas le mettre, c un résumé, donc je pense qu'on peut se passer des exemples, on retient que les idées générales).

A mon humble avis, tu n'as pas tout à fait compris le texte…Les gens ne changent pas de mode de vie parce qu'ils sont au chômage et qu'ils deviennent paresseux. Ils décident d'accorder plus de temps à la communauté. C'est UN CHOIX!!!
Le journaliste s'y intéresse parce que c un phénomène de société, une tendance qui a un aspect positif parce qu'il y a un retour aux valeurs traditionnelles, comme la notion de communauté et de partage. Et en plus, on assiste en direct à une transformation de la société!!!
by dans lattente de vos réponses et surtout si vous avez juste le temps de maider juste pour un exercice ce sera la bienvenue,je compte sur vous, tous les bénévoles
Voilà….En espérant que ça t'a bien aidé…Par contre il y a du boulot pour comprendre ce que tu veux dire! Essaie de condenser, ou de faires des messages séparés.
Bon courage…
