Hey,

today we first talked about the funny video that I showed you. Here is what we said about it:

The doc. is a humourous video from BBC1, a British channel. It deals with mobile phones. There are lots of puns on words about brand names which are also names of fruit: 

cf. Blackberry, Apple, Orange, ...

Then we continued to talk about the propaganda poster for the women's land army.

Finally, we began to read our new text and to make connections between all the characters, the relationships and the problems. Here is what we said:

Stella: she has to make a choice
Philip: at war
Joe Lawrence: with Stella on the farm
Mr. Lawrence: ...

Hypotheses:

Stella may leave Joe to be with Philip or...

... She may break off her engagment with Philip / She may ditch / dump Philip for Joe.

Vocabulary:

(to) ditch = (to) dump
a ditch (un fossé), a dump (une décharge)

"to be written by Lisa" - We have said more things about the relationships between the characters and there are other characters mentioned in the document.

HW: for next time, read the rest of the text and try to find out what Stella's final decision is in the end.
