In module today, we first warmed up about the good resolutions of you and your parents... what should you / they do or stop doing this year...? And here is what we wrote: - I will spend more time studying - I will try to increase my grades in English - I willfollow my good resolution - I will be less absent-minded
A will of testament: un testament, les dernières volontés.
On comprend bien ici a valeur de WILL qui non seulement exprime le futur mais également la volonté, l'implication du sujet dans la réalisation de l'action.
Then we moved on speaking about my X-mas and you had to ask questions in the past. Here are some of the questions you asked: "I spent X-mas alone with my cat"
- What happened? - Why were you with your car on X-mas day? - What activities did you do with you cat? - Where did you celebrate X-mas? - You're kidding, aren't you?
Finally, we began studying a new document: an extract from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. There are some techniques you need to learn to understand a text. 1- Identify the characters (actually present and only mentionned). 2- Ask yourself and highlight time / place / behaviour... indicators. 3- Know the basic assignment verbs (e.g. "translate", "select", "sum up", ...)
Here is the answer for the first two questions on characters, place, and time: "to be written by Wafa"
HW: you need to complete the worksheet (Questions 2 to 4) and translate the words in bold letters.
