After a warm up on "taking pictures", we continued our work on the audio document and diverging opinions about reality television. We said:
"For the woman, these shows are like the Roman games when it was a game to kill people and watch people being killed. But the man believes she overreacts and he doesn't mind watching these shows. However, in the end, he changes his opinion and says that he will start checking what his son watches".
In the second part of the lesson, we did a little "Weakest Link" game, with a TV presenter, a voice-over and some contestants.
For next time, you need to learn your lesson by heart and of course be able to be the voice-over and the presenter of the game. Know the cues by heart !
It reads :
Voice-over : "Here are the 5 contestants preparing for today's show. Only one of them will win up to 10.000 pounds. The others will leave with nothing when voted off as the weakest link."
Presenter : "Welcome to the weakest link! Any of the 5 people in the studio here today could win up to 10.000 pounds. They don't know each other. However, if they want the prize money, they'll have to work as a team but 4 of them will leave with nothing as round by round we lose the player voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team..."
NB : We also noted down some expressions of surprise such as:
- "Oh goodness!" qui est l'équivalent moins osé que "oh my God!". On peut dire également "oh gosh!", "oh my gosh!" Toute forme dégradée d'un mot qui réfère au divin est toujours plus acceptable et moins vulgaire que le mot divin lui-même. Il en va de même pour : - "What the Hell!" qui se -dégrade- en "What the heck!" ou - "Jesus!" qui peut faire "Geez!" ou "Gee!"
