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 / scrumptiouseven 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.
