Hey,
today we did a long warm up about this advertisement against smoking. You can watch it below:
Here is what we said about it:
The ad is particularly shocking. It's about cigarettes. It couldn't be a French ad
because I believe French people are too sensitive.
It's not efficient enough according to me. Only the price of cigarettes will make me
want to stop. I believe it's a bad campaign because it's exaggerated. Things like that can't happen in the street. Well, that's what smokers say: they think
nothing will happen to them until their bodies are affected and they get a disease / until it's too late.
Then we corrected the homework you had to prepare for today about the teenager who had stashed a gun under his bed. Here is what we said we could tell him:
"For Christ's sake!"*** or "For Jesus' sake"* or "For Pete's sake"*,
"God damn it!"*** or "damn it"** or "damn!"*
"What were you thinking?"
"You are grounded"
"Stop arguing with me!"
Finally we worked a little bit on the text again and we reviewed some basic grammar about figures and statistics. Here is what we said about it:
"to be written by Selma"
HW: don't forget that you'll have two tests next week on both Tuesday (comprehension) and Wednesday (expression).

Things like that can't happen it the street. However, we have a disease. Smokers think it will not happento then.
"For christ's sake!" or "For Jessus' sake" or "For Peter's sake", "God damn it!" or "damn it" or "damn!"
"What were you thinking?" or " You are grounded" or "Stop arging with me!"
Be careful to the spelling because there are some typos in what you have written.
Take care,
