Many people attend the festival ( up to 2 million people). It was created by immigrants from the Caribbean ( Trinidad and Tobago) who arrived in London in the 1940’s 1950’s. Their arrival provoked riots so, to celebrate their culture and in order to = so as to (= afin de) bring people together they created this carnival.During the carnival all cultures mix together. People dance, sing, make up and dress up ( se déguiser). We can listen to all sorts of music : soca ( soul + calypso) , reggae, hip hop, steel(acier) drums…

Niveau attendu en référence à l’échelle de niveaux du CECRL : C1 « niveau autonome » pour la LV1, B2 « niveau avancé ou indépendant » pour la LV2.
Le candidat a choisi deux des notions étudiées dans l’année et a constitué pour chacune d’elles un dossier comportant deux documents étudiés en classe et un document de son choix. L’examinateur choisit l’une des notions. Après 10 minutes de préparation, le candidat dispose de 10 minutes pour présenter son dossier et justifier ses choix. L’examinateur doit laisser le candidat aller au bout de ce qu’il souhaite dire, même s’il connaît quelques hésitations, voire de brefs silences. Cette prise de parole en continu sert d’amorce à une conversation conduite par l’examinateur, qui part de ce qu’a dit le candidat. Cette phase d’interaction n’excède pas 10 minutes. Lors de cette évaluation de l’expression orale, on attend du candidat qu’il s’exprime clairement dansune gamme de langue suffisamment étendue pour pouvoir décrire, exprimer un point de vue, voire développer une argumentation. On valorisera la capacité à varier la formulation. Le candidat devra pouvoir communiquer avec un certain degré d’aisance et de spontanéité rendant tout à fait possible une interaction régulière.

The Samaritans = a charity ; it is to help people ( to + V = pour + V) who call for help (for+ nom = pour +nom)/ it consists in listening to people. The people who work for the Samaritans are volunteers THE CALLERS: what sort of people may call the Samaritans?
-people in despair= desperate people / depressed people/ suicidal people: people who want to commit suicide; people who are alcoholic/ drug addicts -people who are anxious about their job, their married life/love life -people who are harassed at work (harcelé) -people who feel lonely -battered women -men whose wives have broken up (to break up= to split = rompre) -jokers!! Sometimes people make hoaxes on the phone (hoax = canular)
THE VOLUNTEERS: what qualities must you have to work for THE SAMARITANS You should (vous devriez)/ you must ( vous devez) be good listeners : caring ≠selfish (egoiste)/sensitive (sensible)/ courageous/ strong/patient/sympathetic/broad-minded ≠ narrowminded (étroit d’esprit) to sympathize with people who have problemsto cheer up= to comfort (réconforter) people who have problems
Homework / POUR LUNDI BIEN REVOIR LECON how can we help+ samaritans (test) FAIRE EXERCICE 1 2 3 sur SAMARITANS Monday November 17th You started with a test then we started correction you work on Samaritans

Hw/ PREPARE YOUR ROLES Monday 21st I talked about the projects concerning next year exam and about what I was expecting from your role plays. We listened to 12 of you. The rest of you will play their roles on Thursday Remember we will be going to the library (CDI) tomorrow; bring your notes For Thursday you have some work to do ( for Apolline you can send me an e mail if ever you didn’t get the work to do for Thursday) Tuesday November 22nd You went on taking notes for your celebrity’s speech project.

What did you do ( explain anecdotes/ events you participated in: vous pouvez aussi inventer des anecdotes pour expliquer pourquoi vous avez decidé de vous impliquer) 2- Why do you think it is important for a celebrity (in general) to champion a cause ? 3- What causes do you support? Thanks to which charities? ( here you should give concrete examples and when you make your speech don’t forget to show photos or objects or a powerpoint presentation) 4- Explain why you think these causes and charities are important 5- Why do you think other people should get involved too? Vous écrirez ce discours pour le mardi 29 ; je le corrigerai et le noterai; puis vous le rendrai jeudi 30 afin que vous puissiez vous entrainer à l’oral chez vous et prendre quelques notes ( une quinzaine de mots) pour votre passage à l’oral le lundi 5 décembre; lors de votre passage à l’oral, veillez à rendre votre discours facile à comprendre, concret et convaincant puisque vos camarades prendront des notes ( rappelez vous qu’il faudra choisir les 3 discours les plus convaincants et les associations et/ ou causes les plus intéressantes) ; pour rendre votre discours plus vivant il vous faudra prévoir d’apporter pour le lundi 5 décembre des photos, un diaporama ou autre pour convaincre votre « public » ; le discours doit être écrit à la 1ere personne puisque vous êtes une célébrité…si vous faites un diaporama pensez qu’il doit être enregistré en .ppt et pas ppx sur votre clé USB Bon courage rappel :
Pour jeudi 24 pensez que vous avez à faire un travail (voir job offers) en 180 mots minimum Thursday November 24th I told you about my impressions of the class before your “conseil de classe” We listened to your role plays We corrected a few mistakes We started to work on a speech by Bono ; he is an activist = someone who champions a cause = advocates = supports He wants to raise people’s awareness about poverty/ he wants to sensitize people to this problem in Africa Hw: write your speech TUESDAY NOVEMBER 29TH We went on with Bono’s speech What is the aim of his speech ? →Bono wants…to raise people’s awareness about poverty in the world. He wants to show people that they must take a stand against poverty by convincing the world’s leaders to act. G8 = group of the 8 most powerful economies (USA, JapAn, Germany France, the UK, Italy, Canada et Russia) He doesn’t ask for money NOT TO frighten people/ SO AS NOT TO scare them/ IN ORDER TO reassure them Celebrities are used to asking for money BE USED TO + VING expresses habit He refers to Band Aid and Live Aid. What do you think they are? Band aid = charity whose aim was to raise funds against famine (created in 1984) Live aid = concerts which were organized to raise funds against famine in Ethiopia in 1985 How does Bono managed to make a convincing speech? What devices ( a device = a technique) does he use in order to convey his message. →he manages to make a convincing speech by… -referring to his own experience: he is involved/he gives an anecdote to explain how he became interested in/ involved in this cause : it was after seeing a report on TV; it turned his life upside down= it upset him/ it changed his life -by giving figures : the donations( 289 million) , the number of people who are dying of poverty (30.000)every day; but explaining it means someone dies every 3 seconds: it is even more shocking/ it makes the figures more concrete
-By snapping his fingers to make it more vivid: it enables us to picture what happens every 3 seconds
-By giving concrete examples : it only costs 25 p to save a child, talking about a precise case and giving a little girl’s name+ showing her photo By contrasting our life and life in poor countries ( easy to go to the chemist/ die of a stupid diarrhea)/ he shows how fragile life is in poor countries By using striking words : it’s an emergency/ stupid By showing moving, powerful photos of children but not too shocking not to frighten people By showing happy children in the end to symbolize the future By referring about the impact we want to leave on future generation/ the role in history We then watched the video of a song by BONO ; you can go to TOPICS to see it again Homework : LEARN THE LESSON DO YOUR MEMO and get ready to speak about this video: What for? Who ? where?
THURSDAY DACEMBER 1ST Remarques sur les discours ; certains sont trop courts 5 minutes lundi après deux heures de recherches internet ; vous pouvez m’envoyer un mail pour des questions éventuelles ou si vous avez complété pour correction ;pensez à écrire au tableau les mots difficiles ; pensez qu’il faudra prendre des notes A SONG BY U2 : WALK ON 2 misspelt words in video 1 : streangth is STRENGTH compation is COMPASSION WHAT FOR: This song is aimed at paying tribute to AUNG SAN SUU KYI / She is a Burmese activist
it is aimed at championing human rights in MYANMAR/ it is aimed at advocating democracy/ the right to vote/ freedom of expression WHAT CAN WE SEE? We can see some people protesting in the street against the violence of the military junta/ Burma USED TO be ruled by the military ( from 1962 to 2011) USED TO PERMET DE DIRE AUTREFOIS
BURMA= MYANMAR INFO ABOUT HER :AUND SAN SUU KYR =leader of the National league for democracy
She won the Burmese elections in 1990 with the National League for Democracy, but was never allowed to take power She was under house arrest for a very long time ( was imprisoned in 1989 and was released in 2010)
He compares her with Nelson Mandela and Doctor King MANDELA/ ANTI APARTHEID ACTIVIST was imprisoned for 27 years(1963-1990) president from 1994 to 1999 today = Jacob Zuma
In 1964 the Civil Rights Act made discrimination in public places illegal and in 1965 the Voting Rights act gave Blacks full equal rights
MARTIN LUTHER KING Civil rights activist
POINTS IN COMMON : Non violent struggle for human rights Like Mandela was imprisoned Like Mandela became a political leader ; she is fighting standing in parliamentary elections Won Nobel PEACE PRIZE : MLK 1964/ AUNG SAN SUU KYI : 1991 / MANDELA :1993
HOMEWORK: get ready for your speech on MONDAY For Thursday 8th learn your lesson about BONO and AUNG SAN SU KYI Get ready to choose 3 speeches and explain why they are your favourite ( revise COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE FORMS see the subjects about the 3 job ads) Monday December 12th We listened to your speeches then we discussed the following question : what are for you the qualities of a good speaker A good speaker should = had better = ought to
A good speakers shouldn’t = ought not to = had better not +BV

We did a recap of the previous lesson and worked on the lyrics of the song WALK ON ( 1 – we worked on rhymes then we completed the song) Voc : a verse = un couplet/ a chorus/ the lyrics HW : BRING YOUR NOTES FOR TOMORROW AND GET READY FOR THE TEST Tuesday 13th / TEST à rattraper pour les absents Thursday December 15th
We worked by groups on the lyrics of the song and then you pretended to be Bono to answer an interview Here is what we can say about this song for the pupils who were absent : WALK ON a song by U2 verse 1: “daylight/ darkness” what do these words symbolize? What does he do in this verse? Daylight represents freedom whereas darkness symbolizes imprisonment ; she was under arrest for a long time (15 years) The daylight is a long way : means the path to freedom is long Daylight stands for hope Chorus: “what you got they can’t steal it, they can’t even feel it/they can’t deny it/ they can’t sell it or buy it.” Who is “they”? what is it “they” can’t deny or steal? “They “are the military the oppressors the people who denied her convictions They can’t steal “it” = her courage and dignity and they can’t deny it either Verse2 and verse 4 : “ a place none of us has been” “ a place that has to be believed to be seen”. “home hard to know what it is”. Explain these lines She wasn’t really imprisoned but she was condemned to stay at home; “A Home hard to know what it is” because her phone was tapped (sur écoute )she was spied on she was watched over all the time; her family was far away
Verse 3 : “you could have flown away”. “ an open cage”. What does the singer allude to? It alludes to = refers to the fact In reality she could have left A place no one has seen because for many people her decision to remain far from her family ( her husband died as she was away ) was unbelievable; but she knew that if she left Burma to go to the UK and see her family she would never be allowed to come back The title : “walk on” : what is the message conveyed by the singer? Walk on = to keep on walking = to go on walking The singer wants her to continue her fight; he encourages her to go on WANT COMPLEMENT TO V cette structure est à connaître + it alludes to the fact she went on walking during a protest despite the threat of soldiers’ rifles rd

Is he successful with members of the other sex? To sum up, in order to make a superhero realistic you must make him 3 dimensional.

To put humour/ make him humorous/ the creator and the reader must have fun
HOW DOES HE MANAGE TO MAKE HIS STORIES GRIPPING = captivating? Voc: have the edge= have the advantage/ take sides with= prendre partie pour/ identify with = s’identifier à He makes his stories gripping by making the villain have the edge on the superhero; he involves us (nous implique)in the story because we worry for the superhero , we want him to win, we identify with him and feel close to him; he wants us to take sides with the good guy A job offer ; Piperworks Software Inc., an independent studio focusing on the
