LS58/Let's have a break 5
Message de here4u posté le 13-03-2024 à 15:26:52 (S | E | F)
Hello dears,

This is an easy exercise that everyone can do.

Envie de faire une pause sur l’ exercice d’EXPRESSION Let's Suggest tel qu’il était… Pourquoi ?
Parce que ce sont toujours les deux ou trois mêmes membres qui participent maintenant, et s’entre-corrigent. Or, le but de ces exercices est tout de même de « toucher » tout le monde, et en tout cas, d'aider de nombreux apprenants !
Je pourrais renoncer définitivement, … mais je n’en ai pas envie parce que je sais et reste persuadée que l’expression écrite est le plus haut stade de maîtrise d’une langue, le plus difficile, le plus personnel aussi. Je sais que c'est "bon pour vous"... et qu'il faut vous y entraîner par petites doses éventuellement...
Cette nouvelle formule a bien libéré les interventions des participants et JE SAIS, JE CROIS que vous pouvez être encore beaucoup plus nombreux à essayer d'aider tout le monde. J'espère que vous aurez envie de répondre à une ou 2 questions...

Certains m’ont dit être gênés d’exprimer des idées personnelles (surtout qu’ils avaient l’impression – souvent fausse – de les exprimer maladroitement.) Cependant, 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 " !

Alors, j’ai envie de vous proposer quelque chose de plus « dirigé », plus « guidé », moins libre … en me centrant, et donc en vous faisant centrer sur UN aspect de la grammaire…
Nous reviendrons, si vous le voulez, à l’EXPRESSION lorsque vous en aurez envie et me le direz...

Je vais aujourd’hui poser plusieurs questions auxquelles vous devrez répondre en utilisant une proposition infinitive par réponse.

1. Are you a cat, or a dog lover?
2. What bad habit would you like to give up?
3. Would you like to be a celebrity?
4. What is your main hobby?
5. Who is your favourite hero?

Vous pouvez choisir 1 ou 2 questions au choix – en notant bien les références (ou répondre à toutes si vous le désirez...) et développer celle(s) que vous voulez jusqu’à atteindre en tout un maximum d’environ 130-150 mots.

Envoyez-moi vos réponses en mp et je publierai une série que vous 'corrigerez' (en bleu d’abord pendant deux jours) puis en vert… et je publie ensuite la deuxième série... (sans changements donc !) Vous gagnez de la liberté (celle de ne pas parler d'un ou 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 (et des difficultés surmontées) de la prestation...
Tous les ajustements ressentis comme étant nécessaires pourront être faits avant la fin de cet exercice, le mercredi 26 mars 2024 ! Go for it! with THE FORCE.

Hello dears,

That was fast! Here are our first ANSWERS:

ANSWERS A: please, indicate any possible mistake, underline what looks clumsy to you. You can also show your approval using !

Topic 4 : Among my various hobbies, reading is the main one. I can't stop reading. Wherever I go, whether on public transport or in a waiting room, I never forget TO TAKE a book with me. At night, I can't fall asleep without a novel TO READ. I enjoy both classic and modern authors, and all genres, from detective stories and science fiction to travelogues, biographies, poetry and more...
For me, reading is the only way of travelling without moving while at the same time becoming intellectually enriched. What's more, books and magazines are free in libraries, therefore you don't have to spend a lot of money. 92 mots

Topic 3 :
Oh no, I wouldn't like to be a celebrity, or a star, or even a princess, either. First of all, it's too much constraint and obligation. Secondly, you're constantly being observed, you always HAVE TO BE on your toes. Furthermore, you can't leave your house without creating a riot.
No, thanks. 55 mots

for your help !

Hello dears!

for these suggestions.

ANSWER C: please indicate possible mistakes end underline what looks clumsy to you.

1 - Are you a cat, or a dog lover ?
I have been a passionate cat lover for years, until I heard cats were said to be responsible for the deaths of numerous garden birds ; and as my friends' enemies are my enemies, well... I felt guilty about my cat loving, and now I'm leaning more toward dogs : besides there is no mystery in them, you can always expect dogs TO DRAG YOU OUTSIDE IN ANY WEATHER, to protect you from the postman, to obey whatever silly order provided you reward them with your leftovers... Oh yes ! Let's try dog-loving ! 93 words

2. What bad habit would you like to give up?
The worst habit I'd like to give up is never completing the tasks I begin : if I start cleaning the windows, I can be sure something will interrupt me and it will be most difficult FOR ME TO GET BACK to it... So please Bad Habit, leave me alone, so all my windows can be clean ! 57 words

Hello dears!

Certes, on n'est pas mercredi... mais on est le 26 mars ! Le problème, une fois de plus, est qu'il n'y a pas de mercredi 26 mars ! Stupid me!
Alors, voici la correction avec une journée d'avance !
Très peu, d'indications et de suggestions données cette fois-ci. Il faut dire que deux expressions étaient tout à fait correctes !

ANSWERS A: initial text and my preliminary indications.

At night, I can't fall asleep without a novel TO READ/ (reading part of a novel. I enjoy both classic and modern authors, and all genres, from detective stories and science fiction to travelogues, biographies, poetry and more...

Topic 3 : Oh no, I wouldn't like to be a celebrity, or a star, or even a princess, either. First of all, it's too much constraint/ ?? too many constraints and obligations. * and obligation. Secondly, you're constantly being observed, you always HAVE TO BE on your toes. Furthermore, you can't leave your house without creating a riot.
No, thanks. 55 mots TTB

Pourquoi avoir choisi le singulier ? On sait que les célébrités ont – et se créent- de nombreuses contraintes et obligations.
- to keep on one’s toes/ to be on your guard/ stay on your gard : être sur ses gardes/ sur le qui-vive.
