Hey,
today after having a little conversation about TV series in English, we continued studying the movie Gattaca, but this time not with a movie extract. We read the corresponding text in your books p.
142-143.
PLEASE BRING YOUR BOOKS FROM NOW ON!
Here is what we said about the characters and the evolution of their behaviours:
Group 2:
"The parents can choose the physical and mental characteristics of their future child.
They can choose...
-
... for him not to have any diseases.
-
... for the baby neither to be short-sighted nor to be long-sighted.
-
... for their child not to become obese."
About the text page 142:
We have just spoken for the moment about Maria, Antonio's wife.
"Maria: She is nervous, she is hesitant. She doesn't know what to say to the geneticist. She still has doubts about her
future child. She's afraid of taking a bad decision / of making a bad choice.
Her behavior shows that, for her, it is a very important issue. Her stress grows more and more powerful until she hears about the musical ability. She is enthused / elated."
Correction of the translation:
"Do you think that one day it will be possible to determine before birth a child's abilities as well as their physical and psychological characteristics?"
GROUP1 : "to be written by Virginie..."
HW: I also gave you a list of sentences to translate for tomorrow. You can download it again here:
We've already corrected the 1st sentence. Do the rest as homework.
See you tomorrow.
PS: have you noticed the wonderful yellow daisy just for you ? ;)
