Exercice 4 : Compréhension détaillée (4 points)

Every autumn, the Scottish island of Eigg welcomes visitors who come not for the scenery alone but to see how a community can run itself. In 1997, after decades of absentee landlords, the islanders bought the land and began to manage it together.

They built their own electricity network from sun, wind and water, a decision that surprised experts. Today, the island is almost entirely self-sufficient in power. Yet life remains demanding: ferry cancellations in winter can isolate the population for days, and young people still leave to find work.

“We are not a museum,” says one resident. “We make mistakes and argue, but we decide for ourselves.” For this reason, many see Eigg as a laboratory of rural renewal rather than a nostalgic postcard.

  1. Why did the islanders buy the land in 1997?
  2. What is unusual about the island’s electricity?
  3. What are two difficulties mentioned?
  4. What does the resident mean by “We are not a museum”?
Exercice 5 : Reformulation et inférence (3 points)

Répondre à chaque question en s’appuyant sur le texte de l’exercice 4.

  1. Which word shows that Eigg’s decision was unexpected?
  2. What can be inferred about the islanders’ relationship with experts?
  3. In your own words, why do some people compare Eigg to a laboratory?
Exercice 6 : Prise de position (4 points)

Écrire un paragraphe de 70 à 90 mots : une communauté locale peut-elle gérer ses ressources mieux qu’un État ?
