Hi,
today we first warmed up with a short recap of some important pieces of advice you could give someone if he/she were invited to the Queen for dinner. I also taught two important sentences not to be rude:
You had better not blow your nose.
You shouldn't behave rudely.
You ought not to burp.
If I were you, I would talk elegantly.
May I leave the table ?
I'm sorry, where is the bathroom (US) / the loo (UK)?
Then we moved on with the study of the 1st scene from the movie Super Size Me and here is what we wrote in our copy books about it:
At the beginning, we can see children singing that they love eating fast food. Their slogan is " Pizza hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Mcdonald's "
I'm shocked because they are nearly all obese or they had better not be proud.
The narrator is ironical when he says "congratulations".
His remark is mean but it's to shock people.
Lots of American are putting on weight (prendre du poids) because they go to the fast-food restaurant too often. The director wants to make people aware of the problem. He wants to arouse awareness.
At the beginning of the second hour of class, we did a quick vocabulary check on how you could define junk food and what consequences there were if you were a junk food addict:
- (to) put on weight ≠ (to) lose weight
Qualities of junk food items: sugary, starchy, greasy, unhealthy.
Products: ice-cream, French fries, hot-dogs, hamburgers, doughnuts (UK) / donuts (US), dressing = sauce , buns (petits pains)
Consequences : put on weight => obese, Have a heart condition, Have coronary pbs, Have spots (skin condition)
Finally we listened to the document Super Size Me in details and here is what we wrote about the statistics and the grammar rule for the superlative:
The narrator says that the American people are the biggest people in the world. They are the nation who is the most overweight.
the fattest ...
SUPERLATIF : The most + adj or
or The + adj + est (Seulement si le nouveau mot formé ne dépasse deux syllabes)
The statistics:
1 in 4 are obese in Mississipi = 25%
60% of the people are obese in the US.
16% adults are either obese or overweight.
For 30 years / Since 1980, the population of obese people has doubled and there has been twice (x2) as many obese children and three times (x3) as many obese adolescents / teenagers.
100 million Americans are obese.
You can watch the 1st part of Super Size Me down here:
HW: learn your lesson and don't forget Thomas that you have a warm up on your favorite video clip of the moment for Thursday. Please, don't forget to work with me by mail if you want to improve the content of your warm up, your grammar and your English accent.
Take care,
