today we did a long warm up about this advertisement against smoking. You can watch it below:
Here is what we said about it:
The ad is particularlyshocking. It's about cigarettes. It couldn't be a French ad because I believe French people are too sensitive. It's not efficientenoughaccording to me. Only the price of cigarettes will make me want to stop. I believe it's a bad campaign because it's exaggerated. Things like that can't happen in the street. Well, that's what smokers say: they think nothing will happen to them until their bodies are affected and they get a disease / until it's too late.
Then we corrected the homework you had to prepare for today about the teenager who had stashed a gun under his bed. Here is what we said we could tell him:
"For Christ's sake!"*** or "For Jesus' sake"* or "For Pete's sake"*,
"God damn it!"*** or "damn it"** or "damn!"*
"What were you thinking?" "You are grounded" "Stop arguing with me!"
Finally we worked a little bit on the text again and we reviewed some basic grammar about figures and statistics. Here is what we said about it: "to be written by Selma"
HW: don't forget that you'll have two tests next week on both Tuesday (comprehension) and Wednesday (expression).

Things like that can't happen it the street. However, we have a disease. Smokers think it will not happento then.<br />

Be careful to the spelling because there are some typos in what you have written.<br />
Take care,<br />
