English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hey,
today we finished speaking about the text and understanding how you can find the meaning of some words even if you don't know them at first (= comprehension techniques).
Then we reviewed how to build a dialogue in English and the differences from a French dialogue. Here reads the methodology:
* Les différences entre l'anglais et le français:
- Pas de tiret ----> le tiret est le symbole de la pause en anglais.
- "..." ----> entre les guillemets, seulement ce qui est prononcé par les personnes. Toute partie narrative est en dehors des guillemets et la plupart du temps, les verbes sont conjugués au prétérit.
- he said ----> Sujet-Verbe (complément). L'ordre reste classique = pas d'inversion.
* Les ajouts aux verbes:
- Adverbe (-ly) ----> they said softly
- in a ... voice / tone (adj) ----> they said in a soft voice
- with + emotion / noun ----> they said with softness
HW: you need to write a dialogue about the following subject -> Write the scene between Neil and his father before he went to see Mr Keating (about 200 words)
