English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hey guys,
today we first warmed up with your possible future studies and I learnt that some of you wanted to go abroad while others were scared or not interested.
Then we continued the class with the correction of the last part of your test about emotions and symbols. Here is what we said about those two topics:
EVOLUTION OF THE CHARACTERS' EMOTIONS
ANDREW:
at the beginning = enthusiastic / confident / relaxed
When he arrives, Charles says everyone in the room is his friend.
then = scared / distressed / shocked / surprised --- Andrew gets fired
Then = embarrassed / revolted ------ Charles gets more serious and he does not understand why he is fired. He is interested in understanding / knowing the reasons why he is dismissed.
Finally = angry / furious ---- Andrew realizes he is fired because he has AIDS and not because he is incompetent.
HIS BOSS & PARTNERS
Charles: cold, pitiless, serious
Woman: doesn't want to feel responsible -> she looks embarrassed; she has a grin on her lips. The woman looks embarrassed she doesn't want to feel responsible. She looks away and has a nervous grin on her lips.
Bob: angry / enraged / he has a burst of rage/anger.
At first: polite / apparently friendly / but actually sarcastic = they intend to make Andrew feel pain.
HW:
- nous démarrerons une nouvelle séquence donc pas de devoir particulier; il faut juste bien vérifier que vos fiches de vocabulaire sont à jour et que votre classeur est bien tenu... Je conseille vivement à ceux qui n'ont réalisé leur fiche de méthode sur la présentation du document de la faire sinon il risque d'y avoir des conséquences assez désasteuses pour votre moyenne. Vous pouvez prendre appui sur les fiches de Quentin, Jazila, ou bien Clarisse qui sont très bien faites.
