The verdicts

Today,

we first spoke about the weather during your holidays. And here is what we said how to express "it cold" differently:

Warm up:

It's cold enough to freeze off witches' tits.
It's stinging cold.
It's freezing cold.



Then we debated again about death penalty and alternative verdicts for the criminals in the list I had given you and here is what we wrote:

-> This convict has to be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole according to me because even if the plane didn't crash, he had the intention to kill.

-> Life without parole : people will want to know why he killed the president and maybe there are other terrorists planning to kill the head of state.

-> If I was part of the family's victims, I would want the prisoner to die. However, I believe life without parole is a much fairer sentence. The doctor committed atrocious crimes and stole from his patients. Even if he is a horrible person, he doesn't deserve to die. He should spend his life in prison to think over his act.


-> The computer hacker should be sentenced to a 20 year's sentence because even if / even though he committed a crime, he didn't kill anyone directly.

Remember : even if / even though

HW: you have to translate the 7 sentences about the text "Death Row"


+ there will be a test tomorrow about vocabulary. Be prepared!
Here is your vocabulary list but don't forget your text and your lesson where there is also some vocabulary:
