Exprimer le conseil en anglais

13.11.2009

Today after taking a test on Body beauty and body parts (phonetics included), we spoke about superstitions on Friday the 13th. And we discovered that Jonathan's grand-ma was extremely supersticious and that some of you believed in supernatural things too like Juliette who thinks her mother can read her mind or Camille R.L. who is sure what she says sometimes comes true. Beware of the other Camille T. who has got a black cat. She is certainly a witch and she may transform us all into piglets...! Just kidding of course! :)

Here is what we said about superstitions:

Today is a special day.
On Friday the 13th, people who are superstitious believe something terribly bad or something awesome will happen to them.

Examples of supertisions:
- you shouldn't be 13 around a table.
- you shouldn't walk under a ladder.
- you shouldn't meet a black cat.
- you shouldn't break a mirror.
- you shouldn't celebrate a birthday before.
- you should wear a rabbit leg.
- you shouldn't walk on a line in the street.
- you shouldn't cross your legs.
- you should touch wood when you say something bad.
- you shouldn't put hats or shoes on a bed.
- you shouldn't open your umbrella inside.
- you shouldn't put the bread upside down.

Remember: to express advice, there are 3 very simple structures:

should / shouldn't + V
had better / had better not + V
ought to / ought not to + V

You need to practise to make sure you know how to give advice to someone.

See you next week.
Until then, have a good week-end.

M. Hattais.
