The Answer

Un nageur en train de s’élancer dans une piscine. La photo a été prise juste après le départ : le nageur est en train de réaliser le plongeon. Sa position est étonnante : on dirait qu’il vole !

Ensuite, tu peux voir le public assis sur les gradins, et plusieurs nageurs alignés : il s’agit donc d’une compétition de haut niveau.

Le nageur au premier plan est grand, musclé : c’est Michael Phelps, le nageur le plus titré de tous les temps.

Le photographe montre la puissance et l’élégance de ce champion hors-normes qui semble planer au-dessus du bassin : en effet, le nageur américain était tellement fort qu’il « survolait » chaque compétition à laquelle il participait, laissant derrière lui ses concurrents.

Was it difficult? For you information this dictation is ideal for students with a A2 level (around 160 hours of study).
