Illegal Downloading / File Sharing + Timeline & Crime Scene

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.):

- préparez-vous à la fin de la séquence, contrôle de vocabulaire, contrôle de verbes irréguliers...
