Lisez ce texte, puis résumez-le en trois phrases anglaises.
In 2015, a secondary school in Copenhagen removed all the clocks from its corridors. The head teacher wanted pupils to stop counting the minutes and start listening. At first, everyone complained: teachers were late, pupils missed their buses. After a year, however, the school published its results. Absences had fallen by a fifth, and pupils said lessons felt shorter. Other schools copied the idea; a few gave it up after a term. Researchers who studied the experiment are careful: the clocks, they say, changed very little. What changed was that everyone in the building started talking about time.

Modèle de résumé : In 2015 a school in Copenhagen took all its clocks down so that pupils would listen instead of watching the minutes. After a year, absences had fallen by a fifth and lessons felt shorter, and other schools copied the idea. Researchers, however, believe that the clocks themselves changed little: what mattered was that the school began to talk about time.
Grille de correction en quatre points :
- les trois phrases suivent l'ordre du texte : le fait, les résultats, la nuance ;
- les chiffres retenus sont ceux qui portent l'information (2015, un cinquième) ;
- la réserve des chercheurs est conservée — l'omettre changerait le sens du texte ;
- aucune phrase n'est recopiée telle quelle : résumer, c'est reformuler.
