Let's Pizza machine + correction of your stories

Hey,

we first watched a short report about a new Italian invention. Those who like pizza will love the idea! You can watch the video below:



Here is what we said about the report:

The report takes place in Italy.
It deals with the "Let's pizza" machine , a vending-machine which sells fresh pizza.
There are 4 choices of pizza. You can select the ingredients / toppings.
It's ready in 3 minutes and it only costs 7 dollars / bucks.
It looks tasty / delicious / gorgeous / yummy / scrumptious even if I think it must be better when we knead the dough with our own hands.
I would like to try it; why don't we have this type of machines at the highschool?



Then we corrected your stories about Robert and his future life. Here are important expressions from the correction:

- Speech verbs and expressions:
announced mechanically
mumbled
said nervously with her lovely Martian accent
told him in an uptight voice


- Expressions of surprise:
What an incredible situation!

But what a strange one!
There were so many flying cars between the Earth and Mars!
How fantastic it was to meet people from different galaxies!
Four dimensions seemed so real!


- Rich vocabulary:
amazed
traffic-jam
fed up with
gorgeous
damn it!
uptight
awesome
seems

HW
: for next time, you need to read the second correction (by Félicien) and highlight the same information as we did today.
