    Message de here4u posté le 28-03-2019 à 23:55:40 (S | E | F)
    Hello, dear co-workers!

    Voici la nouvelle édition de votre exercice de gymnastique cérébrale …
    Attention ! Grande « nouveauté » ! « Playing with words » qui est l’exercice le plus difficile est passé en « Rack Your Brains » … ce qui est normal parce que c’est un exercice difficile, éprouvant pour les méninges et que cet exercice appartient bien à la partie « vocabulaire et constructions » de l’anglais … Je sais qu'il peut être (et est !) chronophage … (comme le II d’ailleurs) et je vous rappelle que vous n’êtes pas obligés de les faire … Les prochaines fois, je mettrai moins de « reordering and unscramble » … En attendant, ne faites que ce que vous choisissez (mais faites le bien !) Give me your best, as ever … Le corrigé de cet exercice sera mis online le Samedi 13 avril 2019.

    I)Please, help my student! He really needs you! ATTENTION ! Ce texte contient 20 fautes à corriger !
    Cependant, cette fois encore, vous en verrez plus, car une fois qu'il fait une faute, mon élève la répète tout le long du texte ! (il l'a faite de bonne foi !) Merci de les corriger, en ne les comptant que pour « une seule », à chaque fois …

    It is arguably the more recognising sign of animal contentment: a pleasurable grasp that erupts whenever a cat is tickled or petted… Whether the purr does generally represent contentment for cats, it can also express nervousness, fear and stress. Fortunately, more often it’s an indicator of the former.
    Cats begin purring when they are few days old that helps their mothers locating them for feeding time. This may persist with some adult cats who purr as they feed – or who purr beforehand as they try and convince a human it’s dinner time. Cats may also purr after they’ve been started, or after stressful episodes like be chased by a dog.
    It’s speculated for decades that purring was a form of communication. More recently, it was hypothesised that purring has others purposes, that the purr is a powerful heeling action. It’s thought that the vibrations from the activity are physically rejuvenating – a way for the cat ‘heeling’ itself after the stress. We also see cats purring in apparent contentment while dozing. In reality, it's a form of self-reparation. The purr has developed as a low-energy way to keep bones and tissues in good condition while they rest.
    Petting a cat has long been seing as a form of stress relief. Those same frequencies cats purr might also be doing good to us as well. It’s likely that purring has communication, appeasement, and heeling properties. It calms us and pleases us, like watching waves against a beach. We respond to a cat’s purr as a calming stimuli.
    In the morning loud purring can be used, other with human face patting or rubbing, to wake up a human and then get breakfast.
    Ultimately, the quest to define the meaning of a purr may benefit of getting to know cats’ body language better. With this deeper knowledge, the bond between cat and owner can only grow.

    II) OPTIONAL: Please, reorder the words or unscramble them in these sentences so as to make meaningful sentences:
    Niveau 2 = 1 et 3
    Niveau 3 = 2, 4.

    Je vous rappelle qu'« une phrase », une seule, se termine par un point [final, d'exclamation ou d'interrogation], peut avoir de la ponctuation interne ",/; /:/ [...], et qu'elle doit avant tout avoir un sens.
    Le but ultime est de faire une seule phrase complexe, courte (moins de 50 mots, si possible ...), mais je le répète, qui ait un sens et sa logique interne !)

Je sais que plusieurs d'entre vous sont très attachés à cet exercice-jeu, qu'ils trouvent formateur and "mind-puzzling". Je vous rappelle cependant que vous n'êtes pas obligés de le faire ! FREEDOM!
    Voici les éléments imposés cette fois :

    Hello Here4u and all hard workers here is my work OK FOR CORRECTION

    It is arguably the MOST RECOGNISABLE sign of ANIMAL'S contentment: a pleasurable grasp that erupts whenever a cat is tickled or petted? Whether the purr does generally represent contentment for cats, it can also express nervousness, fear and stress. Fortunately, more often purr is an indicator of CONTENTMENT.

    KITTENS begin TO PURR when they are A few days old that helps their mothers to LOCATE them for feeding AT time. This may persist with some adult cats WHICH purr as they feed or WHICH purr beforehand as they try TO convince a human it's dinner time. Cats may also purr after they've been STARTLED, or after stressful episodes like BEING chased by a dog.

    It HAS BEEN speculated for decades that purring was a form of communication. More recently, it HAS BEEN hypothesised that purring has OTHER purposes, that the purr HAS a powerful HEALING action. It's thought that the vibrations COMING from ACTIVITIES are physically rejuvenating , AND the way for the cat TO HEAL itself after STRESSING. We also see CAT'S purring as apparent contentment while dozing. In reality, it's a form of self-REPAIRS. The purr has BEEN developed as a low-ENERGENIC way to keep bones and tissues in good condition while they rest.

    Petting a cat has long been SEEN as a form of stress relief. Those same frequencies LIKE CAT'S purr might also be doing good to us as well. It's likely that purring has communication, appeasement, and HEALING properties. It calms and pleases us, like watching waves against ROCKS . We respond to a cat's purr as a calming STIMULUS.
    In the morning loud purring can be used, IN THE SAME WAY ON human face LIKE patting or rubbing, to wake up a human and then get breakfast.
    Ultimately, the quest to define the meaning of a purr may benefit FROM getting to know CAT'S body language better. With this deeper knowledge, the bond between cat and owner can only grow.


    PLAYING and WORKING WITH WORDS:
    - (to) GROW - (to) ESCAPE ? a FAIRY ? a SPEECH ? MISERABLE ? UNEASY ? AMONG ? PROVIDED- une inversion du sujet.

    This is not a FAIRY tale , I am back from a refugee camp, I am UNEASY to speak about of what I saw, NEVER WOULD I HAVE IMAGINED how these childen GREW up in such bad conditions, no SPEECH can describe their MISERABLE lifes AMONG détritus ,fortunately, PROVIDED that the food needs are satisfied they will survive but not ESCAPE from that hell. 60 words

    Dear Here4u ,thanks a lot for your new excellent exercise

    Hello dear here4u, thanks, this forum is fantastic and really great!
    Hi each of you!

    Here is my try: FINISHED. (Such a short work, I couldn't do the whole of it, because I missed time which is out, now..., sorry.)

    II) OPTIONAL: Please, reorder the words or unscramble them in these sentences so as to make meaningful sentences:
    Niveau 2 = 1 et 3
    Niveau 3 = 2, 4, 5.
    Niveau + = 6 (J’ai eu pitié et ai retiré le mélange pour « activity et physically » … )

    1. WE RESPOND TO A CAT’S PURR AS A CALMING STIMULUS. 10
    2. The purr from a happy cat may also be of benefit to human health.14
    3. It is BELIEVED that cats’PURRING PROMOTES BONES and TISSUE GROWTH. 6
    4. People ASSUME cats are HAPPY when they’re PURRING. That’s just not ALWAYS the CASE. 5
    5. The VIBRATIONS from the activity are physically REJUVENATING – a way for the cat to HEAL ITSELF after STRESS. 5

    So long.

    Hello, Dear Workers,

    Really, I was delighted to be told that you had liked this exercise. Furthermore, nobody complained that it was too difficult, this time! Good! !La petite difficulté était le rapprochement (voire le regroupement ) de plusieurs erreurs dans un même segment de phrase...

    Ce devoir a, dans l'ensemble, été très bon. Beaucoup de recherches ont été faites et beaucoup de fautes trouvées ...

    Il me faut, à nouveau, demander 3 volontaires pour le follow up work. J'ai mis (dans la correction) les repères pour les TROIS parties ... Arrêtez-vous bien aux limites, sinon, poster la correction suivie est compliqué ... Nous avons aussi besoin d'un(e)(ou deux) volontaire(s) pour les phrases. Merci à ceux qui se désigneront. (Vous pouvez vous déclarer "volontaires" rapidement, et profiter d'un jour ou deux pour faire le travail ensuite ... Je ne regarderai pas avant la fin du 153 ... )
    d'avance. Encore BRAVO à tous.

    Caresser un chat a longtemps été vu comme un soulagement du stress. ( On considère depuis longtemps ... Eviter vraiment de traduire cette forme avec un passif - bien moins fréquent en français - et avec un passé composé qui calque le present perfect. IL FAUT un présent.) Ces mêmes fréquences du ronronnement félin pourraient tout aussi bien nous être bénéfiques. C’est probablement que ronronner a des propriétés de communication, d’apaisement, de guérison. Ça nous calme, et ça nous plaît, comme le fait de regarder les vagues sur une plage. Les ronronnements de chats agissent sur nous comme une stimulation apaisante.
    Le matin, le ronronnement sonore peut être utilisé, associé à la caresse ou au massage du visage humain, pour le faire se lever et ainsi obtenir son petit-déjeuner.
    En fin de compte, la recherche pour traduire le sens du ronronnement permet de bénéficier d'une meilleure connaissance du langage corporel des chats. Grâce à cette profonde connaissance, le lien entre le chat et son propriétaire ne peut que s’enrichir.
