    Let's suggest: 67/ Let's have a break: 13
    Message de here4u posté le 31-07-2024 à 22:32:10 (S | E | F)
    Hello dears,

    This is an easy exercise that everyone can do.

    Toujours en pause sur l’ exercice d’EXPRESSION Let's Suggest tel qu’il était à l'origine…
    C'est à nouveau la " nouvelle formule ", surtout que les vacances sont là, maintenant... Toujours les vacances pour certains, enfin les vacances pour d'autres et les Jeux pour tous ceux qui le veulent ! J'espère que vous aurez néanmoins le temps de nous écrire quelques lignes...
    Certains m’avaient 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 " !

    Voici les questions auxquelles vous pouvez répondre.

    1.‘Too little, too late’: imagine a situation to fit this phrase.

    2. ‘There’s no place like home’. Comment.

    3. What is your favourite song? Why?

    4. Are you watching the Olympic games? What sport do you prefer to follow?


    Vous pouvez choisir 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 série que vous 'corrigerez' (en bleu d’abord pendant deux jours) puis en vert… et je publierai 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 de vos écrits et des difficultés (surmontées) dans la prestation...
    Cet exercice sera corrigé (j'espère !) le mardi 13 août 2024 ! Go for it! with THE FORCE.

    Hello dears!

    Voici la première réponse... J'en ai une autre en attente !

    ANSWER A: please, indicate possible mistakes and underline what you think is clumsy.

    TOPIC 3: My favorite songs are all love songs.
    Three songs among others stand out. If I have to write about just one, I choose " l'Hymne à l'amour".
    This song, for which Edith Piaf herself wrote the lyrics in September 1949 and dedicated to Marcel Cerdan, the man of her life. This hit mentions the inability to overcome the loss of a lover: it became premonitory as Marcel Cerdan died the following month on his way to join her.
    As he text deals with a subject that everyone can relate to, this poignant, moving romantic song has been translated into a multitude of languages. The world's most famous performers have put it on their repertoires.
    It has become a French emblem, as it was recently chosen to open the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and still gives goose bumps.

    for your help.

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

    ANSWER C: Topic 3 : What is your favourite song? Why? Please, indicate possible mistakes and underline what looks clumsy to you.

    « People talking without speaking,
    People hearing without listening »
    Do you remember?
    « The sound of silence », written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel in the mid sixties; (Which doesn't make me any younger...) This was, and still is, my favourite song, and preferably the acoustic version, which is the one I heard first.
    I don't know if young people know it by now... I was fifteen then, and I was immediately struck by the quiet melody and the singers' soft voices. Then I had to struggle to really understand the lyrics: at that time, with no Internet, I had to buy the record to be able to get them, written on the inner sleeve, with a dictionnary at hand to translate! Besides, this song awakened in me a real passion for the English language, which apparently was to last forever! 150 words

    ANSWER C:Topic 3: What is your favourite song? Why?

    « People talking without speaking,
    People hearing without listening »
    Do you remember?
    « The sound of silence », written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel in the mid sixties; (Which doesn't make me any younger...) This was, and still is, my favourite song, and preferably the acoustic version, which is the one I heard first.
    I don't know if young people know it by now... I was fifteen then, and I was immediately struck by the quiet melody and the singers' soft voices. Then I had to struggle to really understand the lyrics: at that time, with no Internet, I had to buy the record to be able to get them, written on the inner sleeve, with a (dictionnary at hand to translate! Besides, this song (awakened in me a real passion for the English language, which apparently was to last forever! 150 words TBonne expression.

    Gerold only mentioned the spelling slip on the word 'dictionary'; I was troubled by one or two constructions of sentences... and by Americanisms (which I know are not mistakes but are still underlined in exams.)
    I really don't like split infinitives: struggle to really understand the lyrics
    Please notice this other one, which really hurts me:
    Avoir [qch] sous la main loc v (avoir à disposition) (mainly UK) have [sth] to hand v expr
    (mainly US)have [sth] at hand, have [sth] on hand v expr

    Bonne utilisation de 'sleeve' pochette d'un disque.
    sleeve n (protective covering for record) (d'album) : pochette nf
    When the record finished playing, Tim took it off the deck and put it back in its sleeve.
    Une fois le disque fini, Tim l'enleva de la platine et le remit dans sa pochette.

    Ah oui, la séparation du verbe 'awakened' et de son COD 'a real passion' m'a un peu gênée. J'aurais mis 'awakened a real passion in me' qui me semble beaucoup plus naturel.


    Un très très bon travail de votre part, écrivains et correcteurs. Comme "critique", de l'ensemble je retiendrais : se souvenir de ne pas faire de phrases trop longues. Les paragraphes existent. On ne mélange pas les temps...
    Encore BRAVO et MERCI à vous.

    Hello dear hear 4u

    1) Edith Piaf WROTE the lyrics HERSELF FOR THIS SONG in September 1949 and dedicated IT to Marcel Cerdan, WHO WAS the man of her life. Bien corrigé ! C'est moins lourd, mais peut encore être amélioré...

    essai d'amelioration:
    This song was written by Edith Piaf herself in September 1949 and dedicated to his lover Marcel Cerdan

    2) Marcel Cerdan died the following month on his way to join her.

    Marcel Cerdan died on his way to visit her /on his journey back to he
