Hello,

Aujourd’hui, nous avons fait un exercice pour apprendre à choisir entre le présent simple et le présent BE + V-ING.

Ensuite, nous avons regardé un 2ème extrait de Cool Runnings et vous avez décrit ce qui est en train de se passer.

Les deux présents

Le présent simple sert à raconter ses habitudes, sa routine, ses goûts.

Pour toutes les personnes, on met juste le verbe sauf pour HE/SHE/IT on rajoute un -S à la fin du verbe.

A la forme négative, on rajoute DON’T devant le verbe, sauf pour HE/SHE/IT on rajoute DOESN’T.

Le présent BE + V-ING sert à raconter ce qui est en train de se passer.

Pour le conjuguer, je mets BE conjugué (am, are, is) + verbe avec -ING à la fin.

A la forme négative, on rajoute NOT : I am not, You are not, he is not playing.

Convincing Sanka

First, they are talking about a bobsled team.

Derice needs a steady driver.

Then, Sanka is walking and he is going away.

But they are best friends, so they are reconciling and they are hugging.

Finally, Sanka accepts his friend’s proposition.

Tuesday, February 23rd (the twenty-third)

Hello,

Aujourd’hui, vous avez découvert un premier extrait de Cool Runnings!

Key elements for a bobsled team

Bobsled is a winter sport.

A bobsled is not a pushcart with no wheels.

The key elements for a successful bobsled are:

– a steady driver,

– three strong runners to push,

– and ice.

It’s a winter sport but in Jamaica there is no ice, no igloos, no Eskimos and no penguins.

So Sanka is shocked, he thinks his friend is crazy and he goes away!

Hello,

Aujourd’hui, vous avez eu un test sur le Canada et la Jamaïque, puis vous avez découvert une image du film Cool Runnings.

The description of the picture

In the picture, there are two men in the middle.

They are in Jamaica because:

– the man on the right has a Jamaican hat and dreadlocks like Bob Marley

– he is wearing overalls with a Jamaican flag.

– it’s hot and sunny and there is a beach in the background.

The man on the right is reading a book.

The two men are curious and dubious.
