today after having a little conversation about TV series in English, we continued studying the movie Gattaca, but this time not with a movie extract. We read the corresponding text in your books p. 142-143.
PLEASE BRING YOUR BOOKS FROM NOW ON!
Here is what we said about the characters and the evolution of their behaviours:
Group 2: "The parents can choose the physical and mental characteristics of their future child. They can choose...
... for him notto have any diseases.
... for the baby neither to be short-sighted nor to be long-sighted.
... for their child not to become obese."
About the text page 142: We have just spoken for the moment about Maria, Antonio's wife.
"Maria: She is nervous, she is hesitant. She doesn't know what to say to the geneticist. She still has doubts about her future child. She's afraid of taking a bad decision / of making a bad choice. Her behavior shows that, for her, it is a very important issue. Her stress grows more and more powerfuluntil she hears about the musical ability. She is enthused / elated."
Correction of the translation: "Do you think that one day it will be possible to determine before birth a child's abilities as well as their physical and psychological characteristics?"
GROUP1 : "to be written by Virginie..."
HW: I also gave you a list of sentences to translate for tomorrow. You can download it again here:
We've already corrected the 1st sentence. Do the rest as homework. See you tomorrow.
PS: have you noticed the wonderful yellow daisy just for you ? ;)
