Evolution of the Characters' feelings

Hey,

 

today first warmed up with what you had done during the break and with what I did during the holidays... I adopted 24 cats!

 

Here is how you can react:

 

- You're pulling my leg, aren't you?
- You must be kidding me!
- Are you joking?
- You can't be serious!
- Oh come on! -> Cut the crap (**) / Stop your non sense! (*)

Then we continued speaking about the text and after making a quick recap of what had said about it, we analysed the characters' feelings in a chart. Here is what we said about Maria and Antonio:

 

Maria :

- At first, she is nervous
- And then, she is (++) anxious
- half-convinced
- hesitant
- suddenly enthused
- ... is staring at ... = horrified...?

Antonio :

- At the beginning, he is nervous too
- Then, he is more diplomatic than Maria
- He squeezes Maria's hand
- He is blank/ he shrugs
- He beams proudly
- And finally his face falls (disappointed)

Finally, we concluded with a graph of how to represent the evolution of the characters' feelings.

 

Vocabulary of the lesson:

 

"to be written by Lydia" (there is more than just one word...)


- enthused = elated

 

HW: you need to finish speaking about the characters (including the geneticist) and learn your lesson.

<br /> Lesson 10.11.10<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I have ten fingers, four and six.<br /> <br /> - You are joking, aren’t you?<br /> <br /> - Are you joking?<br /> <br /> You = Ya (effacement du pronom)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Mise en dialogue :<br /> <br /> Geneticist : You extracted eggs…(nothing the couple’s names from data along the edge of the screen) Maria have been fertilized with… Antonio’s sperm.<br /> <br /> The geneticist marked a pause(= he paused) to note the couple’s name on the screen. He didn’t know their names. It was the first time he met them.<br /> “You extracted eggs – Maria have been fertilized with – Antonio’s sperm.”<br /> <br /> “…” = “-“ = To mark a pause, an hesitation.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> They can’t buy the additional options because they don’t have enough money (= They Can’t afford it).<br /> <br /> <br />
