Hi guys,
today we nearly finished studying the video about school in Britain but we also started to speak about your personal timetable.
Here is what we talked about (not in the copybook yet):
In Abington, students go to school from Monday to Friday.
School starts at nine o'clock.
In Bron, we have school from Monday to Friday.
On Mondays and Wednesdays, classes start at about nine o'clock.
On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, school starts at eight o'clock.
On Mondays, my first class is English. It starts at eight o'clock.
NB:
- in -> pour annoncer le nom de la ville
- at -> pour annoncer un horaire
- on -> pour annoncer le jour --- Il faut mettre une majuscule au nom des jours et un "s" si l'action dont on parle est répétée, si c'est une habitude.
- about -> pour dire que quelque chose est approximatif.
_____________
Homework:
- s'entraîner à parler de l'heure et de l'emploi du temps.
- rédiger dans son cahier, au crayon à papier, le détail de son emploi du temps personnel de la semaine.

Hello everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you again!
Today we dedicated the lesson to correcting your tests. You had to work on sentence building and express capacities.
- SUJET / GROUPE VERBAL / COMPLEMENT
Ex:
Both Peter and Suzy can dance quite well.
Peter can play rugby a little but Suzy can't play rugby at all.
...
Les éléments: BOTH / AND / BUT sont également à connaître.
Both = début de phrase = pour dire que deux choses sont identiques.
And = milieu de phrase = pour ajouter une ou plusieurs idées qui vont dans le même sens. L'équivalent de notre "et"
But = pour relier deux phrases entre elles et dire que les idées s'opposent. L'équivalent de notre "mais".
________________
Homework:
- finir la correction du devoir des exercices 3 à 7 en s'aidant du cahier.

Hi guys,
today we finished working on what you like or dislike and your talents. You had to practise a lot orally.
We concluded the class with a "who's who?" = a game with secret identities.
Here is the chart of possible identities. You can practise talking about the characters in English.
Example: Sarah can't ride a horse at all and she can't skate or play rugby but she can surf very well. She can sing and dance a little; and she can swim quite well.
-> Attention à la prononciation de CAN et CAN'T.
Avec CAN (positif), l'accent de la phrase tombe sur la verbe. Le /A/ de /CAN/ est réduit. Avec CAN'T (négatif), l'accent de la phrase tombe sur /CAN'T/, la voyelle n'est pas réduite et donc plus longue.
