Hi everyone !!!
This article will talk about my work experience with Thierry
Tomine in “ Cadet de Bretagne " which is a sport center in
Rennes .
When he was young , Thierry and his brother had a toy shop (
Jouet Club ) and a sailboard shop . But he decided to stop this job
after a little misadventure ... It was very radical : he said to
his brother « I am fed up of that , I stop everything ! » ... and
he left .
Then he became a fencing master . Now , he is OUR fencing master ( yes , because I do fencing ) and I wanted to know his daily life during 3 days . That's why I chose him .
I wasn 't disappointed . I discovered things that I didn't
expect him to do : he has lots of administrative papers to complete
, lots of foils , swords to repair , lots of competitions to
prepare ( hotels and transports to reserve ) , equipment to buy ,
lots of rude children to bear 
and the last thing that I could imagine :
sometimes he has to take the fencers , who are in boarding school ,
to the hospital because their parents can't do it quickly , before
an important competition .
I have never thought it was so hard to be a fencing master . Thierry told me that is not very well payed , so to have a decent wage , he has to give lessons to pupils , at school or directly in the fencing hall .
But apart from all these things , he loves his job 
. He said that what he enjoys the most is to
see the young fencers ( he noticed their potential ) grow up
and gain experience , see them go to competition and maybe win ! It
is very satisfying for him . He also likes the contact .
During my work experience , I've discovered another part of this job , I saw the submerged part of the iceberg . I saw ... the reality . Despite his passion for fencing , he has to work very hard and sometimes to put his family life a bit apart . However he is happy and as I said he loves his job .

? you'll say maybe . Well ... not really ,
in China , people use the Lunar Calendar , which is different , so
this date on their traditional calender is like a first January
.
, so the youngest child in a family got the
clothes of the eldest one . They only could have new clothes for
the new year . Now , even if China is more rich , people have kept
this tradition and parents offer their children new clothes
.
And give them money , money , money
...
. How are you ? Me , I am ... heum !
heum ! ...... fine .
