Hi guys,

today after correcting your dialogues and finally acting them to get some more points on your grade, we commented and corrected the translation that I made for you from the text about segregation that you were given as a test 2 weeks ago.

Here are some important translation techniques to remember with their examples:

"to be written by ..."

We studied an interesting fact about verbs beginning in gl- : most of them correspond to a verb about "light".

Ex:

to glow -> shine with a red light

to glisten -> shine on a metallic surface ...

Finally, you started to complete a translation exercise dealing with some of the techniques seen in class throughout this year. You can download it again here:

(thanks to Mrs Meneteau for sharing this worksheet)

HW:

- finir l'exercice de traduction (la page en entier = les 3 parties)
