Today, we started a new sequence on Ireland.
I played the beginning of a video but without the image and you had to guess where the scene might take place and justify your choices.
Here is the extract again:
Here is what we said:
- about Ireland:
"Ireland is divided into two parts. The first part, Ulster, belongs to the United
Kingdom whereas / while the other part, Eire, is independent. Ulster is mainly Protestant whereas / while Eire is mostly Catholic. The I.R.A wants
Ulster to be free whereas / while the United Kingdom wants to keep Ulster."
-about the document:
"I can hear the sounds of drums and of bagpipes. I recognize a song by the Irish
band U2. These sounds are the clues how I can say the scene might take place in
Ireland.
The drums grow quicker and quicker, louder
and louder. It creates tension and suspense.
Then there is the explosion of shattered / broken glass."
"It might take place in the street, at school, or at a concert because I can hear people who are talking / chatting."
Grammar: le comparatif graduel - de plus en plus ... = more + adjectif long and more + adjectif long ou comme c'est le cas
ici: adjectif court + er and adjectif court + er.
L'expression de la supposition peut se faire à l'aide d'un auxiliaire modal (ici: might + verbe).
We'll watch the video with the image next time so that you can confirm if your hypotheses were right or not.
