Step 4 Consider what you learnt in the previous lesson and the present one. Note down words or ideas that come to your mind, that held your attention or that struck you.
Now don‘t you wonder why you were made to learn these particular words, get information about these particular countries and why the geometrical shapes? r No, I don’t
r I think this was on purpose (exprès)
If you have ticked the box ‘on purpose’, then you need the following expressions to make suppositions about the reason why you have learnt these particular facts and words. I think I was asked to learn . ................................. because in the next lesson we’ll most probably read ................................or listen to .................................................... or study I think I was told to..................... so that in the next lesson I’ll be familiar with ................... Can you think of anything else? ..........................................................................................................................................

Train trade tray What expressions do you know with the word ‘trade’? 1- ..................................................................................................................................... 2- ..................................................................................................................................... 3- ..................................................................................................................................... Check and correct. ‘Trade’ is another word for commerce as in ‘fair trade’ or The World Trade Centre the Twin Towers that collapsed after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 Now listen to the following words and repeat them:
O Rectangle – circle – triangle. Méthodologie Les mots ‘rectangle’, ‘circle’ et ‘triangle’ sont transparents à l’écrit mais ils le sont beaucoup moins à l’oral ! On dit qu’ils peuvent se révéler « opaques » à l’oral c’est-à-dire qu’ils sont difficiles à reconnaître dans la chaîne sonore. En les répétant avant de procéder à l’écoute, tu seras ainsi en mesure de mieux les reconnaître.

Step 9 Read the transcript of the questions asked by the journalist with the Guardian, Tim Bakland, in the interview about the Triangle Trade: 1- Paul Deen: So what can you tell us about the museum’s exhibition and highlights? 2- Paul Deen: What can you tell us about the European traders? Who were they? 3- Paul Deen: What part did Britain play in the triangle trade? 4- Paul Deen: What else is there to know about the triangle trade? 5- Paul Deen: Can you explain the term ‘triangle trade’ or ‘triangular trade’ for us? 6- Paul Deen: How did it all start?
Exercise 17 Fill in the blanks with the numbers of the corresponding questions. In question 1, the journalist wanted the curator to tell him more about the museum’s exhibitions. In question ........... he wanted her to tell him what else there was to know about the triangle trade. In question ........... the journalist wanted the curator to tell him what part Britain played in the triangle trade. In question ........... he wanted to know how it (the slave trade) all started. In question ........... the journalist wanted to know who the European traders were. In question ........... he wanted to know if the curator could explain the term ‘triangle trade’. Check and correct. Comment appelle-t-on la transformation qui a été effectuée dans l'exercice ci-dessus ? Check and correct. En effet, comme en français, lorsque l'on rapporte des paroles, on passe au style indirect. Observe les phrases et indique (entre parenthèses) le numéro de la question dont on parle : Observe la façon dont la transformation s’est opérée : Paul Deen: What part did Britain play in the triangle trade? k He wanted to know what part Britain played in the triangle trade. Paul Deen: What else is there to know about the triangle trade? k He wanted her to tell him what else there was to know about the triangle trade.

j e retiens
On utilise le discours indirect (‘reported speech’) pour rapporter les paroles de quelqu’un.
On doit veiller à la concordance des temps : quand le verbe introducteur est au passé (ici : wanted), tous les verbes de la phrase au discours indirect sont au passé. Paul Deen: What part did Britain play in the triangle trade? k He wanted to know what part Britain played in the triangle trade. Paul Deen: What else is there to know about the triangle trade? k He wanted her to tell him what else there was to know about the triangle trade. D’autre part, il convient de ne pas procéder à l’inversion sujet/verbe, car la phrase au discours indirect n’est pas une question. ‘What is there to know?’ k he wanted her to tell him what else there was to know. Practise!
Exercise 18 What other questions would you have liked to ask the curator of The Slavery Museum in Liverpool about the Triangle Trade? 1- Write them down. 2- Then imagine your questions were asked to the curator by the journalist. Turn them into reported speech. a) Your questions to the curator: - ................................................................................................................................. - ................................................................................................................................. - ................................................................................................................................. - ................................................................................................................................. - ................................................................................................................................. - ................................................................................................................................. - ................................................................................................................................. b) Your questions turned into reported speech. Start your sentences with: - The journalist wanted the curator to tell him .............................................................. - He wanted to know ................................................................................................... As-tu appliqué les règles expliquées dans « Je Retiens » ? k Concordance des temps (présent dans les questions directes k passé au discours indirect parce que le verbe introducteur est au passé.) k Pas d’inversion sujet / verbe (ce ne sont plus des questions).

Méthodologie Tu viens de voir comment on peut enrichir des énoncés simples. k African kings bought guns from Europeans est devenu African kings were eager to buy guns from Europeans. Tu as enrichi le verbe ‘buy’ en insistant sur le fait que des rois africains cherchaient à tout prix à acquérir des armes (pour asseoir leur pouvoir dans leur propre pays). Retiens cette expression : to be eager to do something (être avide de faire quelque chose) k Europeans sold guns to African kings est devenu Europeans were willing to sell guns to African kings. Dans cette phrase, tu as enrichi le verbe ‘sell en insistant cette fois sur le fait que les Européens étaient bien disposés/prêts à vendre des armes aux rois africains. Retiens cette expression : to be willing to do something (être disposé / prêt à faire quelque
chose)

Check and correct. Aren’t you a little surprised by the fact that African slaves were sold by their own people to Europeans and Americans? (N'es-tu pas un peu surpris(e) par le fait que les esclaves africains
étaient vendus par leur propre peuple aux américains et européens ?)
You are? Listen carefully to the following sentence, taken from the dialogue.
Exercise 23 1- Listen to the following extract from the dialogue and answer the question:
Why did some African people become slaves and why were they sold by their chiefs to American and European traders?
˛ Tick one box. r Some people were born slaves. r Under African law, people who committed crimes were sentenced to slavery. r They were not really slaves. They agreed to be sold as slaves. 2- Listen to the sentence once again:

Step 12 Exercise 24 1- Play the recording again and read the transcript of the dialogue you have been working on at the same time. (Réécoute le dialogue en entier qui correspond à l’exercice 12 sur ton CD). 2- Then, concentrate on the paragraphs in blue. Underline the verbs corresponding to the goods bought/sold by the triangle traders. 3- Write them down in the relevant arrows. M.H.:
In 1994, National Museums Liverpool opened the Transatlantic Slavery Gallery, the first of its kind in the world. Our aim was to look at the deep impact of slavery and the slave trade on Africa, South America and the Caribbean (Suriname, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Brazil and Jamaica), the USA and Western Europe.
Paul Deen: So what can you tell us about the museum’s exhibition? M.H.:
The Slavery Museum has three main galleries on the following themes: Life in West Africa - Enslavement and the Middle Passage and Legacies of slavery
Paul Deen: Can you explain the term ‘triangle trade’ or ‘triangular trade’ for us? How did it all start? M.H.:
Well, from trading with the Africans, Europeans knew that slavery was used as a punishment for serious crimes in Africa. They began to ask for slaves, rather than African goods, in exchange for the guns and alcohol that the African chiefs wanted. Guns, swords, beads, metalware, iron products, rum, yes, those sorts of things. The African chiefs agreed and so the Triangular Trade was developed.
Paul Deen: What part did Britain play in the triangle trade? M.H.:
Britain was a major player in the transatlantic slave trade. Yes, Britain realized there was a market out there in Africa. British ships carried 2,600,000 enslaved Africans in the 18th century to the Caribbean and the Americas. London was the leading British slaving port in the 17th century. Then Bristol overtook London in the 1730s, and Liverpool overtook Bristol in the 1740s. So, Liverpool from that point of view became a major slaving port.
Paul Deen: What else is there to know about the triangle trade ? M.H.:
Liverpool had a lot of shipbuilders, shipowners and they all benefited from the slave trade. So goods left Liverpool, all the things they needed to trade with African kings left Liverpool. And when it got to Africa, it offloaded those goods for trading and took on the slaves, and then made their journey to the Caribbean. Which then offloaded the slaves, and took on all the sugar, tea, coffee, tobacco, cotton, rum, and then brought it back to places like Bristol and Liverpool and London. The ships followed a route from England to Africa, from Africa to the Americas and back to Europe. The route formed a triangle with three legs.
Paul Deen: What can you tell us about the European traders? Who were they?
