Ken just can't believe his eyes

Hi guys,

 

today after making a quick recap of what had been said last time about Barbie (DAMN IT! Volunteers!!!! I need volunteers!!!!), we continued the lesson talking about an ad campaign made by Green Peace and aimed at sensitizing children and parents about the dangers of Mattel's packaging for the rainforest.

 

You can watch the document again below:

 

 

Here is what we said about it:

 

Green Peace's campaign against the destruction of the rainforest:

The journalist reveals to Ken some shocking news: Barbie is a serial killer!

At first, Ken was confident. He thought the journalist was going to speak about his movie. He compliments himself and says he's the best / he's winning. He has everything: designer clothes, good looks and a dream house.

However, he stops showing off when the reporter reveals some pictures of endangered animals that Barbie is killing. She was not on a photo shoot, she was on a "killing spree", shooting orangutans and tigers.

feelings ->
shocked, very surprised, stunned, flabbergasted


Finally,

feelings ->

afraid, scared to death, frightened
& pissed off** = angry

 

Extra vocabulary words:

- (to) scream / (to) screech
- a devilish laughter
- a chainsaw

 

HW: finissez la préparation de votre script en incluant au minimum 5 des structures présentes dans le document que je vous ai distribué en fin d'heure (complaining / reproaching). Vous devrez être en mesure d'enregistrer le message d'accueil de la compagnie (introduction, options, conclusion). N'oubliez pas non plus d'apprendre votre leçon et d'être capable de faire le recap sur ce document en exprimant votre opinion sur le thème.

<br /> <br /> Thanks Angélique for your update.<br /> <br /> <br /> Please make sure to correct some mistakes in your copy book so that it turns out to be flawless. You wouldn't like to lose points in a vocabulary test because of a wrong spelling, would you?<br /> <br /> <br /> Take care and enjoy the rest of your week end.<br /> <br /> <br /> Mr Hattais.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
