Hey,

today was the end of the English school year for you guys. I hope you enjoyed coming to class. I personnally did.

You can practise reviewing your vocabulary with the exercise below:

Hey,

today we first corrected some grammar exercises that you had problems to complete. Here is the correction:

"to be written by ..."

Then I told you about tomorrow's game. You need to create some flash cards with vocabulary, grammar points, phonetic items, and cultural facts to be remembered.

Don't forget to bring a cheese cake if you want to take part to the "Cheese Cake recipe" contest and you may bring other stuff to have a little end-of-the-year party.

Until then,

Take care,

Mr Hattais.

Hey,

today we first watched an extract from the show entitled "Britain's got talent" and we particularly analysed the reaction of the jury and the audience. You can watch the video down here:

Here is what we wrote in your copybooks:

The Arrangement:

+ : It was genius / it was crazy / I really loved it / it was brilliant / whatever you're drinking, I'm drinking with you / you rocked!

- : it was lame / it socked / it was unbearable!

Voc:

a contestant (participant, compétiteur)
(to) perform -> a performance
a cover (reprise d'une musique).

In the second part of the hour, we corrected 2 grammar exercises; the first one dealt with verbs of speech and the other one was about indirect speech and logical tenses. Here is the correction:

"to be written by ..."

Hey,

today we first watched a video from Amnesty International's website.

You can watch it below:

http://www.amnestyusa.org/

Here is what we said about it:

Amnesty International is an organisation which stands up for human rights.

In Zimbabwe, a human rights activist was abducted because he had stood up against government corruption.
In China, a journalist was sentenced to 10 years in prison because he had sent an e-mail.
In Iran, thousands of men and women were arrested and tortured because they had asked for fair elections. They were beaten / whipped / molested.

Finally we wrote a report about the text that we had begun to study. Here is the summary:

"to be written by Oriane"

HW: Highlight in the text all the elements that you will need to quote to justify your answer. You also need to complete exercises 3 to 9 from your grammar worksheet.

Hey guys,

today we first re-explained the grammar rule concerning the articles and we corrected the exercise related to it.

Here is the correction:

1- Ø Time flies!
2-I like Ø dancing but I'm not a very good dancer.
3- All the documents on the table come from that book.
4-  Ø Women live longer than Ø men.
5- The people who work there say it's a dangerous place.
6- The relationship between Ø man and nature has become one of the most acute problems of our time.
7- It reflects the / Ø tensions inherent in Ø modern civilisations.
8- Ø Advances in Ø technology cannot conceal the fact that industrial Ø progress has deteriorated the environment.

Then we continued the class with the reading of a mock exam and we analysed how only the questions asked already gave us nearly all the answers needed. Here is a chart summing up the information you learnt about the characters, places, time, facts, and attitudes:

Who?
The narrator is a young woman who studies at university. She is in love with Dan who studies in a medical school. They are very different.
The narrator's father is a professor at this university.

Where?
It takes place in an American campus (« freshman »).

When?
During the Vietnam war, so during the late 60's and the early 70's.

What?
The professor has become famous because he played a major role in a protest against the Vietnam war.
Dan's mother is dead.

Atittudes of the characters?
The narrator has a problem of identity because of her father's celebrity / fame. The relationship between them might be difficult.
Dan could be « hard-working », « self -confident », « mature », « self-effacing » or « bossy ». But it is sure that his personality is different from the other students (and from the professor and the narrator's attitudes) and that he isn't ambitious because he doesn't want to become a neurosurgeon.

HW: you need to complete exercise # 2 from the grammar worksheet and also translate the text for those who had to translate it.

Hey,

today we first warmed up with commenting upon this symbol:

Here is what we said about it:

"to be written by Killian"

Then we studied the text that was linked to it. And here is what we said about the responsibilities and the reproaches in this document:

"to be written by Killian"

New vocabulary (concerning "law"):

"to be written by Killian"

I finally gave you back your narratives. You need to correct them asap (by Thursday) and put the grade that you think you will have.

HW: you need to recap today's lesson using the new structures, i.e. "blame someone for + V-ing" / "(to) reproach someone with + V-ing"

-> what about the authorities / BP CEO / American people / the people who commented on the article... ?

Hey,

today we first spoke about what the cuisine of the future. Here is what we said:

In the future, there might be an invasion of fast food restaurants. We already have a lot of brands like McDonald's (also known as "the Golden Arches"), KFC or Burger King.
People say they don't have the time to cook and they want to eat faster and faster. So in the future, there might be more and more outlets. Wendy's or Taco Bell haven't arrived yet.
Oriane believes that within a century or more we might eat extraterrestrial food, a new sort of meat. But within several decades, we might eat pills of condensed food. (pills / tablets)
As for Baptiste, he thinks he will be able to survive with no food, just water and love ...

Then we continued our study of the the movie King Kong thanks to the transcript of the trailer / teaser / preview:

-> a trailer is a summary of a movie with some parts that tease your attention. It is released before the film comes out.

First part: It deals with Carl, a film director and his assistant who are having a conversation about an uncharted island, that is to say an island which is not officially present on maps. It's
unknown.

Second part: It deals with the rehearsal of the film. Carl gives Ann instructions about her role. They are rehearsing when they hear King Kong's roar.

Third part: cf. the scene from last time (Ann is captured/abducted by the natives)
