Hi guys,
today today we finished reading the complete story of Mr Fox, his socks, the box and Mr Knox... and many of their other adventures... :)
Hope you had fun with these tongue twisters and that you will be better at prepositions and pronunciation...
Here are some words and tricks to remember:
- laugh
- crow
- lick
-> Tout ces mots sont des mots qui évoquent ce à quoi ils font référence par leur prononciation. C'est donc important de bien les prononcer car on voit ou plutôt on entend le mot en les disant.
You can train and try again at home (click below and enter the password you have in your homework in Pronotes):

Hi guys,
today we first described a picture of trees, probably from the Amazon rainforest. We analysed what the colours and constrasts evoked.
Then we began to watch and study the video clip from the song entitled "Earth Song" by Michael Jackson (the colours and the contrasts too). Here is what we said:
How to express opposition and constrast = WHEREAS / WHILE / UNLIKE
* Happy memories are in colour whereas sad memories are in black and white.
* Unlike dull memories (which are in black and white), happy memories are in colour.
* While dreadful memories are in black and white, happy memories are in colour.
-> Atmosphere: the colours (red / black / ...) evoke the end of the world (the ........................). It means we will never see life again. It's our future if we don't care about our planet. These images can become true.
Vocab:
Nature -> the rainforest (the tropical jungle) / the wild (wild trees and animals).
Destruction and war -> smoke (fire) / fumes (factory) / bulldozer
Contrast -> There is an opposition between bright and dull colours.

Hi everyone,
you took a test today about Australia during the whole hour.
Unfortunately, as many of you haven't paid attention to English classes lately, I doubt you will score good marks...
For future reference, studying takes time, self-involvement and honesty...
See you on Friday.
Mr Hattais.
