Love during WWII

http://www.joliecarte.com/images/carte/I_love_you/love.jpgHey,

 

today we began studying our new theme: "Love". We talked freely about it and about romance and how romantic boys and girls are. Here is what we said:

 

Romantic boys and romantic girls:

The most romantic thing Lisa has ever done in her life was when she came back from vacation in a car. The boy who was sitting next to her bent towards her and murmured / whispered in her ear: "I have feelings for you". She remembers they were listening to rap music and the song was about love.

Nadia believes it's pathetic / lame.
To her mind, romantic boys are ridiculous. She doesn't believe in Prince Charming. Boys have to take the first step but they musn't be romantic.

 

Grammar: Present Perfect - Utilisation de "ever" couplé avec un superlatif

Notion de bilan sur la vie entière avec "ever". On demande à la personne de retourner dans l'intégralité de sa vie de faire sélectionner l'événement le plus marquant. Avec le superlatif, on insiste sur le fait que ce soit exceptionnel, : "the most romantic moment...", "the most beautiful gift...", "the best present...", ...


NB! Jamais deux fois "never" (pas de double négation en anglais):
"I've never ever given a lame gift"

 

HW: for next time, you need to read the text I have given you again and to make a chronology with the events mentionned in the document.

Files: download the worksheet "The London Blitz, 1940" here.
