0:09Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well and that you are
0:13ready for a new video where we will see a French expression. Maybe you have guessed it,
0:21today we will see the expression "turn the page". This expression, I don't know if you know it.

1:26I could tell her: don't you miss your singing career? And she can answer me:
1:33no, I have completely turned the page with my singing career. Now I'm a chef and I love my new job.
1:42I've turned the page, it's behind me. That's it for today. Don't hesitate to comment me
