English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hey guys,
today you spoke about how Jacob was frightened and what he was scared of. Here is what you said about him:
We can see that Jacob is quite nervous when he obeys the doctor who gives him orders.
He sweats a lot and he talks very quickly (he blurts out). He says he can't be calm because he is afraid of going back to Russia . He's scared of the cossacks. He's frightened of being killed, that's why he makes a lot of mistakes in English and also because he doesn't speak the language very well.
Jacob's mistakes : the correction.
- What does that mean?
- Nothing is wrong with my leg.
- There is nothing wrong with me.
- They will kill me.
- I was shot in a hunting accident.
- No, a doctor didn't. I mean... yes, a doctor did treat it.
- They have killed all the Jews in my village. That's why I can't go back .
- I'm healthy.
- It's alright.
- I'm telling the truth, honestly.
- There's no problem with my leg.
