English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hey,
with Group 1, we continued speaking about uniforms and listing some arguments for and against:
- You can feel left out, like a pariah if your parents cannot afford to buy you expensive clothes
- It's normal, it's a custom / habit
-> You are accustomed to wearing a uniform.
Vocabulary:
- mentally tiring
- repetitive
- boring
- You can get fed up with wearing a uniform
With group 2, we spoke about an oral document dealing with illegal downloading:
The document deals with illegal downloading, i.e.when people download music from the Internet for free / without paying.
Lily Allen has threatened to quit the music industry if people continue to download her music for free.
In London, with Pink Floyd and RadioHead, they have made a proposal to the government: if the police knows someone downloads illegally, they will first send 2 letters of warning and then slow down the hacker's Internet connection.
Voc:
(to) slow down = ralentir
(to) shut down = fermer
