English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hi guys,
today we first did a quick recap of what you were supposed to know about the text Philadelphia.
Here is what we said (using the vocabulary of "job", "illness", and "body parts"):
Job:
Andrew's lover / partner teaches in an institute.
Andrew has been fired from a law firm because the boss said he's incompetent.
Andrew arrives at Joe Miller's office to say that he has been discriminated against.
Body:
Andrew shakes Joe's hand.
Andrew has caught a skin cancer: we can see lesions on his skin (on his face and particularly on his forehead).
Illness:
Andrew has AIDS; some of the symptoms of this disease are illnesses such as pneumonia or skin cancer. He has done chemo and that's why he doesn't have hair anymore.
Then we continued the lesson with the correction for your reading comprehension test that was catastrophic before the holidays... Here are important assignments that you need to get familiar with:
"to be written by ..."
And the correction for the quesions will come later and be finished on Friday.
HW:
- contrôle de vocabulaire / leçon sur le début de cette séquence AIDS.
