English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hi guys,
today we first listened to an audio recoring (a news report) about illegal downloading. You can listen to it again below:
Here is what we said about it (+ grammar rule about suffixes):
Warm up: Illegal downloading/ file sharing
The document is a radio news report about illegal downloading. It deals with a meeting in London with the British governement and British artists (Lily Allen, Pink Floyd...) to find a solution against the problem. The hackers will receive a warning (two letters) before their connection is slowed down.
In France:
first: a warning -> you receive 1 email and 1 letter.
then: a fine -> you have to pay the government.
finally: you can go to jail/prison
-ing : Transforme un verbe en nom
share -> sharing (partage)
warn -> warning (avertissement)
meet -> meeting (rencontre)
Then we continued the lesson with the correction for the timeline of events the day of the murder. Here all the elements mentionned with their approximate time:
Time line of events:
7:30 -> someone arrived
time of death
8:00 -> The visitor left
Inez made a last round of the house and discovered the corpse
9:10 -> Inez called the police
9:30 -> the police arrived (+Inez's interview)
10:00 -> Mason's interview
11:00 -> Shepard's interview
Midnight -> I went back home
3:00 am -> I called Mc Coy
Finally, here is a picture of what the crime could look like (drawn by Sarah D.):
