today we continued our lesson on global warming but we first did a little warm up. You had to react about this sentence: "My mother turned 92 years old on Christmas day and my grand-mother is 150!"
It's impossible! It can't be! It can't be true! You must be lying!
Are you kidding ? Are you pulling our leg / my leg ? Are you teasing us / me ?
Question tags (demande de confirmation):
You're kidding, aren't you ? You're pulling our legs, aren't you ? You're teasing us, aren't you ? You're lying, aren't you ?
Then we continued with pieces of advice you could give people about pollution. Here is what we wrote: 5 pieces of advice to protect the environnement :
- You should use you bicycle for a short distance - Our parents had better buy electric cars - We ought to use public transports - We shouldn't use 4x4s (four by fours) - We should gather rain water
Finally, I gave you a short text and we first read it, analysed the vocabulary and commented on it, giving advice.
Here is the translation of difficult words: Vocabulary of the 1st paragraph: - A chaque fois que... : whenever... - Le micro-onde : microwave - Gaz à effet de serre : greenhouse gases - La combustion : burning - Les appareils (électro-ménagers) : appliances - Par exemple : e.g. (abréviation) - For example / For instance - Cela en vaut le prix : It is worth the investment

HW: you need to read the end of the text and make as many pieces of advice as possible thanks to the information you understand (at least FIVE)
NB: attention, le mot "advice" est un indénombrable. Pour pouvoir dire "un conseil", il absolument mettre "a piece of ..." devant "advice". (deux conseils = two pieces of advice)
