Hey,

today we corrected your listening test from last time about the Aborigines and the conditions of living.
Here is what we said in English:

Part 1: The creation of the world in Australia.
At the dawn of time, the legend says the animal spirits created the land and the first aboriginal people.

Part 2: The conditions of living in the "Outback".
The Aborigines live in the desert. They don't have water, food, houses, roads, ... They adapt to nature but nature doesn't adapt to them.
The conditions of living of harsh / severe / unforgiving. Normally a desert is uninhabitable.

Farenheit / Celsius -> Freezing = 0°C = 32°F
                             100°F -> 38°C

Part 3: The place of Nature for the Aborigines.
Nature is like a religion. It is holy and sacred. It is their cathedral.

Hey,

as some of you were unruly last time, you had the chance to take a test instead of painting... too bad, ain't it?

So let's behave next time or you will have the same attitude from your teacher...

Anyways... you first made a list of what you need to do dot paintings and you watched the very first part of a video with a woman explaining what to do.

Then you took a test about Aborigines. You had to write in French everything you understood from another video.
