Hey,
today we first worked again on understanding the end of the text and on seeing how attitudes were very important. Here is what we said about the text:
The tone of the text is funny / ironic / sarcastic. The author makes fun of French stereotypes. People in France are said to speak English very poorly and he confirms it. They are believed not to be efficient / constructive at work and he confirms it too.
Then we continued the class with a video. You can watch it again below:
Here is what we said about the document (presentation, analysis, meaning):
The document is a news report from Skynews, a British channel. The anchorman presents the topic. It's about an experiment to see if / whether British people are patriotic (or not)
The experiment consists in reading people's brains and see if / whether they like or dislike pictures symbolizing Britain today / Britain's cultural diversity.
Additional voc:
- shrimp
HW: re-write the sentences from the text that are mispronounced into correct English + identify the main phonetic problems of French people when they speak English.
