Hi,

today after a brief recap of last time's lesson, we could begin to work on the song "When will my life begin?" from the movie "Tangled" with Rapunzel, the princess who doesn't know her real parents.

Here is the song again:

Here is what we said about the document so far:

Chores and fun activities

- Chores: It's 7 a.m. and Rapunzel is starting the chores.
In my picture ... :

• She is sweeping the floor.
• She is mopping
• She is polishing
• She is dusting
• She is shining up
• She is doing laundry

When it's 7:15, she is fed up.

-> BE + ING (au présent) = pour décrire des actions dans une image.

Vocab:
sweep / mop / polish
dust / shine up
do laundry

Hi guys,

Then we started a new lesson with some comments about this picture:

Here is what we said about Rapunzel:

She is smiling.

Hi,

today we continued talking about your holidays. Here is what we said:

What did you do during the holiday?

I didn't celebrate Halloween.
          x
I did stay at home.
   stayed      [d]

I did watch TV a little.
   watched   [t]

I did chat with my friends on Facebook.
   chatted    [id]

I did go* to the cinema.
   went

 ______________________________________________________

Then we started to analyse some audio documents about inviting to a party.

Here are the documents again:

1:

2:

3:

Inviting someone to a party: Phone conversation.

The friends are talking about a party.
A man is inviting Mary to his house on Friday night.
                                    [tə]

"Could you come to the party for Halloween?"
                           [tə]              [fə]
"Oh yeah!"

"Could you prepare food and bring drinks?"
                                         [ən]
"Sure. Could you email me your address?"

"No problem."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

REMEMBER:     WOULD LIKE (to) ----> Exprime le souhait (je voudrais... I WOULD LIKE...)
                         WILL ------------------> Exprime le futur

Attention également à la prononciation (pas de L quand on prononce et seul LIKE est accentué dans l'expression).

Seuls les mots porteurs de sens sont accentués dans la phrase et c'est ce qui donne le rythme, la mélodie de l'anglais.

Ex: Would you like to come to my party tonight? Yes, I would love to come.
