Hello dear Friends!

Another easy exercice that everyone can do!

Je sais que l'Expression libre est la compétence la plus difficile à bien acquérir dans l'apprentissage d'une langue, même si elle est notre langue maternelle, d'ailleurs...

Certains m’avaient dit être gênés d’exprimer des idées personnelles ( - ils avaient l’impression – souvent fausse – de les exprimer maladroitement ) Vous savez que je ne vous demande pas de " raconter votre vie " si vous ne le désirez pas... Je souhaite juste vous voir vous exprimer sur tout sujet aussi " librement " que possible.
De plus, je pense que vous aurez maintenant compris que pour moi, toute expression, même maladroite, est intéressante et a de la valeur. Elle nous stimule tous à " trouver mieux " !

Voici les questions auxquelles vous pourrez répondre :

1) If you were an animal, which one would you like to be? Why?

2) What is, in your opinion, the most important 'thing' to teach a child?

3) Do you agree that the gap between two people of different culturesis more an adventure than an obstacle?


Vous pouvez répondre à 1 ou 2 questions au choix – en notant bien les références - et développer celle(s) que vous voulez, jusqu’à atteindre en tout un maximum d’environ 150 mots.

Envoyez-moi vos réponses en mp et je publierai une première série que vous 'corrigerez' (en bleu d’abord pendant deux jours) puis en vert… Une fois le premier texte corrigé au mieux, je publierai ensuite la deuxième série... (sans changements donc ! ) Vous gagnez de la liberté (celle de ne pas parler de plusieurs sujets, ceux qui ne vous " inspirent pas "... Vous écrivez la longueur que vous voulez, vous pouvez choisir d'inventer, de plaisanter, ou de répondre avec sérieux... Nous vous suivrons !

Cet exercice sera pour vous un ou en fonction de la qualité de vos écrits et des difficultés (surmontées) dans la prestation...

Cet exercice sera corrigé (j'espère !)le dimanche 14 juillet ! Go for it! with THE FORCE.

Hello dears!

ANSWER A: TOPIC 3: please, indicate possible mistakes, and underline what looks clumsy to you;

Do you agree that the gap between two people from different cultures is more an adventure than an obstacle?

With the internet, the mass tourism and women's revolts all over the world, cultures have been
americanized. You find coca- cola and burgers in most of the major capitals of the world. You will even meet people dressed with jeans in the remote villages of southern Burma when your travel book describes colourfully and embroidered clothes. The aventure still remains culinary depending on the resources of the country. For example, in a certain region of New Zealand, they will be proud to serve you the opossum meat or guinea pig in Peru. The bat stew is very popular on the island of Reunion, just like the roasted warthog in Kenya etc...
It is interesting to discover the differences in behavior, e.g. In Japan it is very polite to slurp your soup. After a good meal among the Bedouins it is obligatory to belch as a sign of satisfaction. The live study of completely minsets and beliefs is also an enriching adventure.
However if you marry someone who doesn't have the same education, nor the same language, nor the same religion, then it will become really very complicated to adapt. Love will not be enough for it; it will require a large amount of courage and abnegation, because you will have to relearn everything and make many concessions on both sides.


for your help!

Hello!

Sorry, I'm far from my computer, I can't use colours or other functions.

My remarks:

- mass tourism (no « the »)
Americanized with « A », but better « globalized »
- colourful (UK) embroidered
In certain region of NZ better after « opossum meat »
- Bat stew without « the »
In Reunion Island
-completely different mindsets
- behaviour (UK)

- who doesn’t have … , the same … or the same …
- field study (étude de terrain) (live study seems to be something different)

Hello dears,

ANSWER B: In your opinion, what is the most important 'thing' to teach a child? Please, indicate possible mistakes and underline what looks clumsy.

In my opinion, the most important 'thing' to teach a child is kindness because parents teach their child how to help others, to be polite (to say "please", "thank you", "good bye" and not to hurt anyone.Parents also teach their kids how to listen to others in class or at home.
But the most important thing for a child is to think about the world around him and about himself during a punishment, question himself. The child must, above all, learn to be patient, because he will wait during all his life: for the result of a test, for a delivery, or a date.
One of the most important things to learn is the ability to change because he will find himself in important stages, depending on the age, (like puberty for teenagers). or if he has to move house.
The most important thing to learn is to be fllexible.

for your help!

Hello!

Sorry, Internet problems as usual.

Answer B:

I think it would be easier to use the plural (because all children are not boys).
- the most important thing for children is to think about the world around them and question themselves when they get punishments.
- for a delivery (la livraison d'un paquet ?Ou une naissance? Ou ??)
- they will go through important stages?
- like puberty (for teenagers is useless) or if there are changes in their surroundings
- remove the comma after « age » and replace the full stop with a comma before « or ».
- « flexible » (not fll-)

In answer A:
New Zealand (not « Zeland »)

hello dears
Reprise du texte answer2 avec vos indications. Merci a Gerold et here4u

In my opinion, the most important "thing" to teach children is ' kindness'. Parents teach their children about help and politeness: at a minimum, basic principles such as 'please', 'thank you', 'goodbye' and do not hurt anyone. Parents also teach their children how to listen to others in class or at home. In short, everything about " respect."
However the most important thing for children is also to think about the world around them and about themselves when they get punishments. Children must, above all, learn to be patient, because they will wait during all their lives: for the result of a test, for a delivery of something , or a date.
One of the most important things to learn is the ability to change because they will through important stages according to their age like puberty, or if there are changes in their surrounding,e.g., when they leave the family home.
The most important thing to learn is to be flexible.

I think it would be easier to use the plural (because all children are not boys).(You're right, Gerold, not all kids are boys! )
- the most important thing for children is to think about the world around them and question themselves when they get punishments.
Tout à fait exact : lorsque le sujet est de gendre non précisé, [ou impossible à connaître (somebody/ someone/ anybody/ anyone/ a person)] il faut accorder les pronoms nécessaires au pluriel.
- for a delivery (la livraison d'un paquet ? Ou une naissance? Ou ??)
- they will go through important stages? you're right, it's not clear...
- like puberty ('for teenagers' is useless) or if there are changes in their surroundings OUI.
- remove the comma after « age » and replace the full stop with a comma before « or ».
- « flexible » (not fll-)

- déménager: to change houses (ne pas oublier le pluriel : il y a la maison d'avant, et celle d'après. idem pour 'changer d'école' : to change schools.

In answer A: New Zealand (not « Zeland »)

ANSWER B with Gerold's and here4u's indications, here are Magie's suggestions;

In my opinion, the most important "thing" to teach children is ' kindness'. Parents teach their children about help and politeness: at a minimum, basic principles such as 'please', 'thank you', 'goodbye' and do not hurt anyone. Parents also teach their children how to listen to others in class or at home. In short, everything about " respect."
However the most important thing for children is also to think about the world around them and about themselves when they get punishments. Children must, above all, learn to be patient, because they will wait during all their lives: for the result of a test, for a delivery of something , or a date.
One of the most important things to learn is the ability to change because they will, through important stages, according to their age (like puberty,) or if there are changes in their surrounding,e.g., when they leave the family home.
The most important thing to learn is to be flexible.
Some very good points.

I do agree with the importance of flexibility in the Anglo-Saxon society. You must be able to move (to get a job!), or to change your actions depending on events... You often change jobs and seldom stay in the same region, and/ or towns.
