Texte à trous
Message de poilou2607 posté le 21-12-2009 à 17:09:35 (S | E | F)

Bonjour,
je dois compléter le texte à trous suivant, en trouvant à chaque fois le bon mot ( les trous sont précédés d'un nombre de 16 à 31 ) :

What’s in a name?

How do people choose names (16)_of_their babies? In the past, many names were chosen for (17)_belong to_religious associations or because of national or family tradition. If a boy’s great-grandfather; his grandfather and father were all called Patrick, then (18)_it_was very likely that the new born baby would be called Patrick as (19)_predecessors_. Sometimes parents wanted to please a wealthy or much loved relative (20)_by_naming the baby after him or her and in countries(21)_like_as Spain a child was often given the name of the saint whose feast day coincided (22)_at_the birth. Mostly names (23)_with_good connotations, thought there are exceptions. Parents in some parts of the world gave their babies names like ‘Ugly’ or ‘Disagreeable’ so as to (24)_be_ the child unattractive to demons.

Nowadays the main consideration in most English-speaking countries seems to be fashion combined with (25)_how_the name sounds. New names are sometimes invented simply (26)_because_they sound pleasant. In Britain the influence of television soaps, oppo music and Hollywood is clear as is the increasing appeal (27)_for_ less common names. In the United States current naming trends include naming children after places, using traditional last names as first names and borrowing (28)_to_ other languages and cultures.

There are hundreds of books and even web sites devoted (29)_a_ listing names for anxious parents who still can’t make (30)_in_ their minds. Despite the almost bewildering range of choices plenty of children still end up in classrooms where thress, four or even more of their classmates have the (31)_same_ name.


Pourriez vous s'il vous plait, le corriger ou me proposer des solutions...
Merci d'avance
