English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hey,
today we first had the comments of Lucie on her "song of the moment". She needs to record herself so as to validate her grade.
Here is what we wrote about her presentation:
The rhythm is catchy and you remember the melody very easily. It remains in your heads, and on your lips. Moreover, the landscapes in the video clip are gorgeous. I wish I were/was there.
However, some students believe that this type of song is only commercial. Its aim is just to make money. There is no soul or groove.
Moreover, it may be boring because we have heard this type of melody over and over. It's not original; it's always the same. If the singer didn't have a computer, he would not know how
to sing.
Then we continued working on translation and here is the result for the last part:
* and spinted with them back to the trolley: et je suis revenu en courant au chariot
"What's that ?" my wife asked in a special tone of voice : “- Mais qu'est-ce que c'est que ça" m'a demandé ma femme d'une voix spéciale...
which she often adresses me in retail etablishments : ...qu'elle emploie souvent quand elle s'adresse à moi dans les superettes.
I didn't have time to explain « Breakfast for the next six months » : Je n'ai pas pris le temps d'expliquer “p'tit dej pour les six prochains mois"
I panted as I dashed past, « and don't even think about putting any of it back and getting muesli » : Dis-je en haletant alors que je la dépassais en coup de vent, - et ne pense même pas à en rapporter un seul et à le changer pour du muesli.
It was the breakfast pizza that finally made my wife snap : C'est finalement une pizza "p'tit-dej" qui fit craquer ma femme.
She looked at the box and said, : elle regarda la boite et me dit , "non"
"I beg your pardon, my sweet ?" : Mon coeur, je te demande pardon?
"You are not bringing home something called breakfast pizza." :
-tu ne rentreras pas à la maison avec quelque chose qui s'appelle pizza "p'tit dej".
I'll be giving you the results of your tests from last week tomorrow. See you then.
