English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hey,
today we worked on both a picture and a video to speak about this young boy who has climbed Mount Everest and who has become a celebrity. You can watch the document narrating his record down here:
Here is what we said about him:
The document is a report about a 13-year-old boy who has climbed Mount Everest. He is the youngest climber to have scaled the highest mountain in the world. He must be filthy rich and he sounds arrogant. He brags about his records. Even though it seems inspiring, I wouldn't do it because it's treacherous, I would need to be sportier.
Info : the shortest time to climb the Everest (the most treacherous mountain in the world) is 20 hours and 24 minutes.
Grammar: Superlatif (le plus, la plus, les plus ...) -> the most + adj. long / the adj. court - est
Adj court = pas plus de deux syllabes après ajout du suffixe.
13-year-old: avec des tirets et sans "s" à /year/ car ce mot est en position adjectivale.
Then we continued speaking about our new theme: "Mobile Phones in the Middle East" and we particularly commented on the graph illustrating the text. Here is what we said about it:
Voc:
Cellular phone suscriber / user / owner
a package, e.g. 2h + unlimited text message
The graph:
The country in the Middle East where there is the most important number of mobile phone suscribers is Israël
Hypotheses:

They like to show off their mobile as a fashion item.
The fixed-line network was destroyed during the war.
