today you behaved like little monsters! and the class was not productive at all... We only succeeded in correcting your translation exercises...
Here is what we corrected :
2 ==> I believe it is much toorisky and the consequences are really unpredictable.
3 ==> You know the Johnsons expect their son to be almost perfect, don't you ?
4 ==> They are sure he will neither be alcoholic nor obese.
5 ==> I would prefer my daughter to be short-sighted and bald later rather than to use genetic manipulations.
6 ==> I would be afraid of giving birth to a monster or putting their life in danger.
7 ==> Yet, I would be really elated / enthused to have a child who was never sick.
8 == > It is necessary to avoid playing with fire and to prevent scientists from using techniques which are close to eugenics.
The warm up about "Pushing Daisies": "A child discovers he has a special power. He can raise people from the dead. But there's a trick. If he touches the person a second time, they will die again forever, FOREVER !! Great power involves great responsibility."
HW: you need to find the questions corresponding to the answers about the text "Human possibilities" in your book p. 142-143. You can download the worksheet again below:

Thanks for posting the lesson very quickly ;)<br />
<br />
Be careful to some typoes... :<br />
- unpredictable from (to) predicT<br />
- bald with an A and not an O otherwise it means something else...<br />
- tu n'as pas pris la correction de la dernière phrase : "which are CLOSE to eugenics".<br />
