Hey,
today we learned how to present and describe a picture. There are some strict rules which you need to abide to.
I. Present:
- The different type of visual documents: a picture, an ad, a photo, a painting, a cartoon, a drawing, a graph, a poster...
- How to introduce the main topic: (for a picture) The picture was taken...(date/lieu)
It depicts...(sujet général)
It represents...(sujet général)
It deals with... (thème)
II. Describe:
- Locate things and people in space:
in the top / bottom left-hand / right-hand corner.
in the middle
in the background
in the foreground
at the top / at the bottom
on the left / on the right
- Use present Be + ing to talk about actions. Use present simple to talk about feelings or states.
III. Interpret:
- Use verbs that show you understand the goal of the document:
make (us) aware of, criticize, prove, show, ...
IV. Give your opinion and your tastes:
- Opinion: to my mind, according to me, as far as I am concerned, ...
- Taste:
I like + noun / verb-ing
I am fond of + noun / verb-ing ...
HW: for next module, you will need to be able to speak about the document in your text book p. 152 for about 2 minutes. You will need to follow the advice given in class. Whether it is going to be graded or not... I don't know yet...
