The Answer

Notre regard est tout de suite attiré par la personne au premier plan. Elle est seule, allongée. On la distingue très bien : les yeux fermés, les mains jointes sur la poitrine. Elle semble dormir. Elle est enveloppée dans un grand drapeau aux couleurs du Brésil.

Nos yeux se dirigent ensuite vers l’arrière-plan de la photo. Le contraste est saisissant. Les personnes photographiées sont floues. On devine que ce sont des policiers à cheval. Serrés les uns contre les autres, ils forment comme un mur infranchissable. Pourtant, ils ne semblent pas inquiéter l’homme au premier plan, car celui-ci paraît serein et beaucoup plus fort.

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