English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hi guys,
today we corrected the exercise you had to finish at home about the description of the pictures.
Thanks to Sarah and Kader we could go over two panels (#1 & #2).
Here are important elements to remember from the lesson that we wrote in your copybooks:
Method:
Type of document
Divide into parts (+ localisation)
Describe = WHO / WHERE / WHEN / WHAT
Analyse the picture, the text and the situation = HOW / WHY
Comment (= opinion + likes & dislikes)
Vocabulary:
- uncle / aunt / nephew
- (to) fake
- (to) laugh at / (to) laugh with ...
- whereas
- (to) make jokes
- a nickname (for example: "Petey" is a nice nickname whereas "bookworm" or "professional wallflower" are insults to talk about Peter Parker)
- a lad / a boy
- an alarm clock
...
Grammar:
Utiliser BE + ing au présent pour mentionner les actions présentées dans chaque vignette lors d'une description.
Localisation: ne pas se tromper entre les 3 prépositions IN / ON / AT
-> In the middle / In the corner / In the foreground / In the background
-> At the top / At the bottom
-> On the right / On the left
There is ... / there are ... pour présenter une ou plusieurs choses dans le document.

Homework:
- par écrit, sur feuille, choississez l'une des vignettes restantes (sauf #1 ou #2) et la décrire en utilisant la méthode vue en cours.
