LS54/ Let's have a break! 1
Message de here4u posté le 14-01-2024 à 16:16:04 (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...
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, m'intéresse 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 le present perfect. Lien internet

(au moins TROIS de ces temps dans la prestation entière. Temps simple ou en -ing, au choix)

Vous pouvez choisir 1, 2 ou 3 questions au choix – en les numérotant bien (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.


1) Why are you sad at the beginning of this new year?
2) Why can’t she get into her house?
3) Why is my purse empty?
4) How did she know the news?
5) Why does he look so indifferent to the world around him?


Vous m’envoyez vos réponses en mp et je publie une série que vous corrigerez au fur et à mesure (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 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 un , , ou (que nous notifierons... )en fonction de la qualité de la prestation...
Tous les ajustements ressentis comme étant nécessaires pourront être faits avant la fin de cet exercice, le dimanche 28 janvier! Go for it! with THE FORCE.

Hello dears,

Here are ANSWERS A: given by one of your co-workers.

1) I am a little sad at beginning of this new year because I HAVE LOOKED AROUND ME… and what I saw was not nice. I saw big boys to bully little ones at school or outside of school, teenagers are rude with old people, people do exactly what they want when they want and where they want. Too bad if other people doesn’t like it and are disturbing… I hate egoism…

3) because I HAVE DRUNK IT, i was so thirsty. It was water. I like water. I prefer sparkling water or soda, but I know that they are not good for us.

5) If he looks indifferent, perhaps he is indifferent really. I think it is a catastrophe. I HAVE ALWAYS HATE the indifference. I think it is worst that a little form of violence. When you see someone that is violent, you care for you, you are vigilant, but when you see an indifferent, you don’t know he is. You wait for him to react normally, but an indifferent doesn’t care. He is very dzngerous.

Now, it's your turn to indicate possible mistakes and green will be allowed on the 18th.
Vous pouvez vous concentrer sur une seule réponse ou examiner les trois. (Il y a trois verbes au present perfect, donc, le premier contrat est rempli !

aussi de votre future aide !

3)Of course I HAVE DRUNK IT, because I was so thirsty: It was water. I like water, although I would have preferred a glass of sparkling water or soda; even though, I know it is not good for us.(or for my health)

5) If (that man or a person looks indifferent, perhaps he or she really is. I think it is a catastrophe. I HAVE ALWAYS HATED() indifference. I think it is worst than a simple violence.

Hello, ce texte développe un point de vue intéressant, je crois comprendre en gros ce que l'auteur veut dire; En fait une personne indifférente pourrait cacher son jeu( could be a hypocrite person who would keep her cards in her chest) et feindrait l'indifférence pour mieux vous piéger (and pretend indifferent in order to trick you) et vous ne vous méfiez pas (and you are not suspicious).

Hello !

Je tente ma chance... J'adorerais participer à cette partie de l'exercice, mais j'ai vraiment des difficultés avec les codes couleurs... C'est d'ailleurs pourquoi j'ai arrêté de participer à la construction d'histoires... Je suis obligée de faire un copié collé à partir d'un document open office pour avoir les couleurs... Je ne sais pas du tout si cela va passer... Désolée d'avance !

1) I am a little sad at THE  beginning of this new year because I HAVE LOOKED AROUND ME… and what I saw was not nice. I saw big boys BULLYING little ones at school or OUT OF SCHOOL; also teenagers are rude TO old people and people do exactly what they want, when they want and where they want. Too bad if other people  like it and are themselves a problem . I hate egoism…
3) because I HAVE DRUNK IT, I was so thirsty. It was water. I like water. I prefer sparkling water or soda, but I know that these are not good for us.
5) If he looks indifferent, perhaps he really is. I think it is a catastrophe. I HAVE ALWAYS HATED indifference. I think it is worse than some violence

When you meet violent people, you usually protect yourself, but when you meet indifferent people, you won't know they are. You expect them to react normally, but indifferent people won't care. They are very dangerous.

Hello dears!

Un grand à toutes les deux pour ces suggestions très intéressantes !
Les corrections seront données avec les suggestions finales !
Happynutmeg, si les couleurs sont très difficiles à mettre sur l'appareil de travail, faire une copie du texte entier et mettre le signe ( - ouverture de parenthèses - et écrire ce qui est problématique en majuscules en indiquant s'il s'agit de 'WRONG' ou de 'CLUMSY'. Je m'efforcerai de passer derrière pour colorier...
L'important est de nous faire tous profiter de votre travail et de vos idées !

Let's suggest (have a break1) ANSWERS B

Question 1:
At the beginning of this year, I am sad to see on television a large amount of people affected by the floods. In particular, the inhabitants of Pas de Calais in France, whose houses have been flooded twice in less than 3 months. Barely the houses have been restored and the residents compensated by the insurance companies, everything was destroyed again. And now it's freezing, what a misfortune! 71 mots
Question 4
how did she know the news? I haven't told anyone yet, even my husband doesn't know. I wanted to wait for the right moment to tell him, but now I must inform him that I'm pregnant before he hears about it from someone else. My god ! he would never forgive me ...53mots

for the work, and for the coming help and comments.
(indications en bleu jusqu'au 23 et green allowed on the 26th.(une 3è série de réponses est peut-être on its way.) J'ajusterai les dates si elle arrive.

Hello dears,

Relecture des suggestions:

Suggestion: Question 1: initial sentence:

suggestion:
I'm sad to see so many flood victims on television.

variant:

Question 4

News dans le sens information est toujours au pluriel mais se conjugue(on conjugue un verbe, pas un nom!) au singulier, s'il n'y a qu'une nouvelle, je pense que l'on doit dire: a piece of news Sure! But here, you could put the plural... TTB Magie, Quel bon travail !

Hello dears,

ANSWERS C:

3) My purse is empty because I haven't been able to refill it, the ATM still being out of order... I think the bank has completely forgotten this one... So far I have paid all my shopping with my credit card, which many a shopkeeper has disapproved.

4) In fact she has been told by her mother in law, who has always been her favorite source of information ; this woman has never missed an opportunity to let her know about the family's gossips !

5)The reason is he has had himself enough trouble in his own life to be curious about his outside world. He has come to the conclusion that hearing about other people's problems wouldn't do any good, neither for him nor for them... The number of friends and relatives he was connected with has considerably shrunk...

Hello !
Désolée pour l'avalanche de present perfects...

Voici ma proposition de correction pour la réponse B :

Barely the houses have been restored and the residents compensated by the insurance companies, everything was destroyed again.

Je crois que c'est grammaticalement correct mais j'aurais écrit
BARELY HAD THE HOUSES BEEN RESTORED AND THE RESIDENTS COMPENSATED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WHEN EVERYTHING WAS DESTROYED AGAIN.

And now it's freezing, what a misfortune!
Il me semble que la tournure est très française mais je n'ai pas de proposition alternative...peut-être : "And now this terrible freezing, what a misfortune !"

Hello Happynutmeg!

Pas d'excuses, s'il vous plaît ! 3 present perfects par question était une exigence que je n'aurais jamais osé avoir ! C'est une performance que de les employer !

BARELY HAD THE HOUSES BEEN RESTORED AND THE RESIDENTS COMPENSATED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHEN/ than EVERYTHING WAS DESTROYED AGAIN.

Bravo pour la correction. Il ne fallait pas oublier l'inversion du sujet obligatoire en langue soutenue avec les propositions commençant par des négatives ou semi-négatives ! (ne pas commencer par le semi négatif si l'on veut éviter la lourdeur de l'inversion. )Lien internet

When you meet violent people, you usually protect yourself, but when you meet indifferent people, you won't know they are. You expect them to react normally, but indifferent people won't care. They are very dangerous. De très bonnes suggestions !

Après toutes ce très bonnes suggestions, voici quelques points à revoir :
- au début de : at THE beginning of (beginning déterminé par «of»)
- je les ai vus harceler : Lien internet

paragraphe 3.
- en dehors de l’école : inside the house/ outside the factory
- pire que : worse … than… (bad/ worse…than…/ the worst... Attention ! Ne mélangez pas comparatifs et superlatifs.
- être violent envers qqn : to be violent TO/ towards/ with/ somebody/ good to sb/ polite to sb/
Mais : to be hard on somebody
- I have always hated indifference : pas d’article devant indifference car c’est un mot abstrait.
- (a hypocrite person) pas possible. 'A hypocrit' est un nom. L’adjectif est 'hypocritical'..
- a person est un indéfini qui est forcément repris en pluriel «their».
- You expect her a normal reaction : la structure est 'to expect something from somebody'.

Magie’s correction
1 ) initial sentence:
At the beginning of this year, I am sad to see ( on television a large amount of people affected by the floods.*
Suggestions:
I'm sad to see so many flood victims on television. (Bien ! Ne jamais oublier que le COD ne doit pas, dans la mesure du possible, être séparé du verbe. )
variante
When I watch at the TV, I am sad to see so many flood victims
4) how did she know the (good piece of news? I haven't told anyone yet, even my husband doesn't know. I wanted to wait for the right moment to tell him, but now I must inform him that I'm pregnant, ( before he hears about it from someone else. My god!(He would never forgive me ...53mots

Je pense qu'il faut une virgule devant before et une majuscule derrière un point d'exclamation:

'News' dans le sens 'information' (not only!) est toujours au pluriel mais se conjugue au singulier,(a toujours un S, mais est indénombrable singulier !) si il n'y a qu' une nouvelle, je pense que l'on doit dire: a piece of news

- less than + indénombrable// fewer than + dénombrable… Je sais que même en Angleterre, on entend 'less than' + dénombrable pluriel, mais c'est une erreur, remarquée par les britanniques éduqués et sanctionnée aux examens.
- ‘Barely’ : ‘à peine’ est semi-négatif. Il y a moyen de faire une phrase usuelle, (non formelle,) sans faire l’inversion du sujet. Je la voudrais bien, sans devoir vous la donner, please.
Maintenant, si vous décidez, comme l’auteure du texte, de mettre «Barely» en tête de proposition, la phrase prendra un tour plus formel et il faudra faire l’inversion du sujet. J’aimerais aussi que vous me donniez cette phrase correcte à la suite de la forme usuelle.
'News': les nouvelles: the news is good. Is the news good? si l'on veut vraiment insister sur l'unicité de la nouvelle, ce qui ne se fait pas souvent, utiliser 'a piece of news'comme dit précédemment.

Hello !

Voici ma proposition pour une phrase n'utilisant pas "barely" en 1è position : (je ne savais pas qu'en 1è position cela avait une connotation formelle !)

The houses have BARELY been restored and and the residents compensated by the insurance companies, WHEN everything was destroyed again.

Je ne sais pas si ainsi positionné "barely" peut concerner à la fois les maisons réhabilitées ET les résidents indemnisés... Il me semble que les deux propositions ne peuvent pas être juxtaposées sans quelque chose comme "when" ?

Hello!

Merci pour tous ces Follow Up Work! Je viens de terminer l'envoi des corrigés de versions, corrigé Our Story et vais commencer ici... au moins un ! La suite viendra demain !
de votre patience !

3) Of course I HAVE DRUNK IT, because I was so thirsty: It/ it was water. I like water, although
I would have preferred a glass of sparkling water or soda; even though, I know it is not good for my health. OK!

5) If a person looks indifferent, perhaps they really are. I think it is a catastrophe. I HAVE ALWAYS HATED() indifference.
I think it is (worse than a plain agression. Facing a vehement person, you take care of / you may fear for/ yourself, you become vigilant, but when you see AN(indifferent person you don’t know who ( they are, (what they are thinking; (You/ you expect a normal behaviour from them, but indifferent person *don’t care about (your feelingS. (They could be very dangerous. OK

* attention : person est du singulier 'an indifferent person doesn't care'... Au pluriel, il faut employer 'people'! 'indifferent people don't care...' one person/ two people.

Magie écrit : 'J'ai encore travaillé dur sur ce sujet': [je le sais, je le vois et je t'en remercie !] [Tu as choisi la meilleure méthode pour acquérir la langue du pays où tu vis maintenant...

Normal ! Par moments, même dans une langue maternelle, il faut beaucoup de temps pour parler et dire quelque chose de sensé, de bien construit, et d'idiomatique ! et heureusement que tu oublies...

réponse suite aux corrections
Un grand MERCI à HERE4U pour tous ses encouragements et corrections

* attention : person est du singulier 'an indifferent person doesn't care'... Au pluriel, il faut mettre people= a person two people

Ce qui m'a embrouillé c'est que plus haut here4u disait :
Person est un indéfini qui est forcément repris au pluriel their

Donc si je comprends bien= a person c'est comme everybody etc.. le verbe au singulier avec le nom et au pluriel avec les pronoms...
a person is, they are, their clothes are

Maintenant avec les constructions de phrases semi-négatives, j'ai relu les leçons mais je ne suis pas certaine d'avoir compris toutes les possibilités
surtout quand il y a plusieurs sujets concernés dans la même phrase

Peux-tu nous dire s' il te plaît quelles sont les phrases correctes parmi celles qui ont été données
Houses has barely restored, and people compensated by insurances... that....
Houses had barely been restored ❤️ mais c'était present perfect imposé

Follow up textB Hello dears

At the beginning of this year, I am sad to see so many flood victims on television B. In particular/ [particularly [juste avec une virgule, sans changer de phrase], the inhabitants of Pas de Calais in France. Some houses have been flooded twice in (fewer than 3 months [mais on trouverait less than partout]. (Barely have the houses been restored and have the residents BEEN compensated by the insurance companies, (that WHEN/ THAN everything was destroyed again. And now it's freezing, what a misfortune! 71 mots

The houses have barely BEEN restored and people have not been fully compensated...( est-ce correct?)[OUI ! Avec le participe passé BEEN: auxiliaire du passif obligatoire, sinon, tu fais faire l'action aux maisons elles-mêmes au lieu de leur faire subir les travaux !]

4) How did she know the news? I haven't told anyone yet, even my husband doesn't know. I wanted to wait for the right moment to tell him, but now I must inform him that I'm pregnant before he hears about it from someone else. My god ! he would never forgive me...53mots
As soon as my husband came home that evening, In a hurry, I gave my secret away the word; [Je ne vois pas quelle expression tu cherchais... 'I told him my secret'???/ ou simplement 'I gave my secret awat']He was on cloud nine.. TTB


ouf ![Phew! in English!] I have enough/ I've had enough!
TTTB, Magie. Simplement, n'oublie pas le participe passé (been) et ce sera parfait !

Hello !
Hello dear happynutmeg!

Voici ma proposition pour une phrase n'utilisant pas "barely" en 1è position : (je ne savais pas qu'en 1è position cela avait une connotation formelle !)[ Le motif principal pour employer les négatifs et semi-négatifs en début de proposition est la fonction emphatique, pour insister sur cette négation/ semi-négation. Comme la structure est loin d'être facile, on ne l'entend pas partout, et c'est ce qui la rend "formelle", soignée. ]

The houses have/ had BARELY been restored and and the residents compensated by the insurance companies, WHEN everything was destroyed again. parfait

Je ne sais pas si ainsi positionné "barely" peut concerner à la fois les maisons réhabilitées ET les résidents indemnisés... Il me semble que les deux propositions ne peuvent pas être juxtaposées sans quelque chose comme "when" ? [Il est certain que le WHEN/ THAN clarifie le tout ! C'est parfait ! Bravo!


Alors, retour vers Magie!
Peux-tu nous dire s' il te plaît quelles sont les phrases correctes parmi celles qui ont été données

Houses has barely XXXX restored, and people compensated by insurances... that.... NON!
Houses had barely been restored ❤️ mais c'était present perfect imposé... Attention à ton sujet pluriel avec un verbe singulier dans la première phrase ! Explique moi pourquoi quand tu passes au past perfect, tu mets bien le BEEN! juste pour m'embêter, non? Etourdie !
à toutes les deux pour ce très bon travail !
