Don't send me back, please!

Hi guys,

today we finished talking about Helen's diary and I explained the letter you'll have to write for Tuesday.

Then we continued the lesson with a final text about Jacob. You did understand lots of things in the first part. Congratulations!

We didn't have time to write everything down but here are some useful notes to remember for next time:

Who? = An inspector at the checkpoint (for the literacy test)

             Jacob: an immigrant from Russia. He was shot and hurt in the leg. So now he limps. He is worried / scared / frightened of the medical test.

                      Physical distress: "he began to sweat"

                      Mental distress: "Oh God", he thought, "Don't send me back" / "he was a wreck"

            Les traces de son passé: the Cossack's bullet.

All the verbs in the preterite have been underlined. You need to add the irregular verbs to your list.

Vocab:

checkpoint / literacy test / medical test / (to) limp / worried / scared / frightened / sweat / (to) be a wreck / bullet / (to) obey / (to) ache / (to) mark
