English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hey guys,
today we first talked about a topical issue: the X-mas season and the shopping craze. Here is what we said:
Online shopping:
+ it's easy and rather fast to shop
it's always open
the shipment arrives at home
you can pay by credit card (or sometimes by check)
there are many special offers / bargains
you don't have to go to the shops, you save gas and therefore money
- you can get more easily stolen
not every body has an internet connexion or a credit card
the shipment may be long
Real shop:
+ you can try the clothes on / you can't make a mistake on the size
you can see the items for real
the shipment doesn't apply; so it's sometimes cheaper
the workers earn more money / a better salary
- the shops are crowded / over-crowded during the X-mas season
Then we continued the class with the beginning of the correction for your mock exam (translation). Here is what we said:
-"Ben oui, on doit prendre le métro, dis-je à nouveau. On doit tous le prendre. C'est là-bas." Je montre le chemin et on se met à marcher, Teddy à côté de moi, Papa juste derrière nous et Lucy tout près de lui.
HW: learn your new vocabulary and remember the translation techniques.
