    Message de here4u posté le 27-11-2021 à 22:06:34 (S | E | F)
    Hello, dear Workers!

    Merci à ceux qui ont bien voulu travailler sur les premiers sujets que je vous ai donnés. En voici un autre, très différent !

    Voici le rappel des modalités de la première partie de l'exercice :
    1. Je vous demande une EXPRESSION sur un sujet imposé (un sujet unique par exercice) à m’envoyer en mp dès maintenant … (=> 130 - 150 mots au maximum - un seul envoi par personne.)

    2. Le plus tôt possible, une première expression est publiée sur Forum, et CHACUN est libre de « corriger » UNE FOIS ( en collant le texte et indiquant les fautes EN BLEU, et en soulignant ce qui vous semble maladroit et que vous voudriez changer. sans donner la «correction » (forme correcte), comme il se doit.) Un seul devoir à corriger à la fois sera publié…
    Les modalités entières sont accessibles : Lien internet
    ( je vous les rappellerai au fur et à mesure de la progression du travail ).

    Le sujet, cette fois-ci est beaucoup moins philosophique que le précédent (quoique … ! )

    Write your « letter to Santa Claus » asking him to fulfill your dearest wishes for the end of the year… (Do not make a list, but develop one or two wishes…)

    THE FORCE is with you… I’m expecting your tries as soon as possible.

    Cet exercice est un ou 3 et les corrigés seront en ligne le samedi 11 décembre 2021.

    Hello!

    Here's the first try! Thanks a lot for the eagerness to work quickly and enabling us to work fast too.

    EXPRESSION N°1:

    Dear Santa,
    I still believe in you: you've never disappointed me.
    What I would like you to do this year is something extremely difficult : eradicate the COVID-19 and all its mutations so that everybody can live freely. I'm especially thinking of the omicron variant: may the vaccines be still effective against it. And may all people come to their senses and realise that vaccination is the best way to get rid of this awful disease.
    I wish you could make uncooperative people more aware of the risks they take for themselves, their families and the others. Do they have to get infected to understand at last? How many people have changed their minds after a stay in intensive care?
    I know I'm asking too much and if you can't make it, I'll love you all the same. (142 W)

    Vous pouvez signaler les éventuelles erreurs en bleu et souligner ce qui vous semble maladroit. de votre investissement.

    Hello dear friends and co-workers!

    Voici les corrections de votre Rack Your Brains: Let's suggest 3, dans l'ensemble bien réussi ...
    Attention cependant à bien rester dans le sujet ... Il s'agissait d'écrire une lettre pour faire des demandes ... exprimer des souhaits.

    EXPRESSION N°1:

    Dear Santa,
    I still ( ?*) believe in you: you've never disappointed me.
    What I would like you to do this year is something extremely difficult : (eradicate the COVID-19 and all its mutations so that everybody can live freely. I'm especially thinking of the omicron variant: may the vaccines be still effective against it. And may all people come to their senses and realise that vaccination is the best way to get rid of this awful disease.
    I wish you could make uncooperative people more aware of the risks they take for themselves, their families and XXXXX for (the) others. Do they have to get infected to understand at last? How many people have changed their minds after a stay in intensive care?
    I know I'm asking too much (a lot) and if you can't make it, I'll love you all the same. (142 Words)

    SUGGESTIONS Exp. 1:

    * "still" laisse à penser que tu as été déçu par Santa et que malgré tout, tu l’aimes encore … (ce qui est contredit par la phrase suivante …)Je dirais simplement : ‘I do believe in you!’
    - "eradicate the virus"; Il est déterminé ... OK mais toi, tu détermines le virus en donnant son nom => virus covid-19.(pas d'article)
    "uncooperative people": Good informative link Lien internet

    Lien internet

    Lien internet

    recalcitrant/ reluctant// anti-vaccine/ vaccine-sceptics/ anti-vaccine advocates/


    EXPRESSION N°2:

    First of all, I would like to get rid of COVID-19 (1). I am tired of masks, tests, constraints and prohibitions. (Whenever (2) we think we are out of the woods(3), another more violent variant comes along...
    Secondly, it would be nice if all human beings had access to drinking water and food and if the earth's resources were better shared. The northern hemisphere wastes and the south has nothing.
    Thirdly, all the plastic objects should no longer be manufactured or bought; appliances should be repaired more frequently and last longer. The planet is overflowing with waste. We no longer know what to do with it or where to put it! Stop transforming the Earth into a bin!
    Finally, let each individual respect the other. (130 words)

    SUGGESTIONS Exp. 2:

    (1) C’est bien d’avoir réemployé l’expression « covid-19 » sans faute ! (Merci à l’auteur de l’expression 1) !
    (2) Whenever: bonne idée car elle tient bien compte de la répétition de l’action : à chaque fois que/ quel que soit le moment où/
    (3) To be out of the woods: être tiré d’affaire/ to be in the clear/ to be off the hook/ out of danger/ be home free/
    (4) la planète Terre : la Terre : (le plus souvent avec une majuscule) : the Earth.
    (5) « The northern hemisphere wastes » me gêne … Trouver autre chose …
    (6) All plastic objects: all the plastic objects :
    "All plastic objects should no longer be manufactured..." ne se dirait pas … A corriger !(construction différente pour la négation ...)
    (7) appliances should be repaired more frequently: signifie que certains appareils doivent être réparés tous les deux jours (par exemple) au lieu de tous les 3 jours, même s’ils n’en ont pas vraiment besoin … Je ne pense pas que c’est ce que l’auteur voulait dire … Comment dire alors que « le plus souvent, il faudrait réparer au lieu de jeter »?


    EXPRESSION N°3:

    Encore un peu « léger » malgré l’ajout (130 mots mini demandés). Il faut apprendre à développer …
    Ne pas oublier qu’il s’agit d’écrire une lettre … (début et fin doivent être présents.)

    (4) Attention ! En corrigeant ainsi, une autre faute est rajoutée ! les expressions sont : so as TO= base verbale// so as NOT TO + base verbale. Si l’on met un auxiliaire derrière, il faut changer d’expression pour satisfaire la construction. => so THAT I could… Bien pour le présent derrière as soon as (conjonction de subordination temporelle).

    Hello!
    Follow-up work:

    1) EXPRESSION N°1:


    Dear Santa,
    I do believe in you: you've never disappointed me.
    What I would like you to do this year is something extremely difficult : eradicate COVID-19 and all its mutations so that everybody can live freely. I'm especially thinking of the omicron variant: may the vaccines be still effective against it. And may all people come to their senses and realise that vaccination is the best way to get rid of this awful disease.
    I wish you could make recalcitrant people more aware of the risks they take for themselves, their families and even for others. Do they have to get infected to understand at last? How many people have changed their minds after a stay in intensive care?
    I know I'm asking a lot and if you can't make it, I'll love you all the same. (142 Words)


    I stil believe in you : Je voulais dire : je crois toujours/encore en toi, sous-entendu : encore à mon âge (et non pas : quand même en toi). Donc il m'a semblé que still n'était pas mauvais. Qu'en dis-tu ?

    je n'ai pas compris pourquoi il fallait enlever "the" devant "others" : est-ce qu'en mettant "for others", on traduit bien : "et pour les autres" (sous-entendu : "tous les autres")? Est-ce que "for the others" est incorrect et à remplacer par : "for everyone else" ?



    2) YOUR SUGGESTIONS for Exp. N°2:
    First of all, I would like to get rid of COVID-19. I am tired of masks, tests, constraints and prohibitions. Whenever we think we are out of the woods, another more violent variant comes along...
    Secondly, it would be nice if all human beings had access to drinking water and food and if the Earth's resources were better shared. Basically, people living in the northern hemisphere tend to be more wasteful than people living in the south who are less wealthy.
    Thirdly, all the plastic objects should no longer be manufactured or bought; appliances should be repaired more systematically and last longer. The planet is overflowing with waste. We no longer know what to do with it or where to put it! Stop transforming the Earth into a bin!
    Finally, let each individual respect the other. (130 words)

    3) YOUR SUGGESTIONS for Exp. N°3: Apparemment, Here4U n'y a pas trouvé d'erreurs
    En revanche, on est bien d'accord qu'il fallait enlever "where" devant I visit : for each country I visit

    Dear Santa Claus,
    I have a dream and I know it is not difficult to make it come true. My wish is to travel around the world and discover all the cultures and customs of other countries. I also wish I could bring back so many gifts for my family from each country I visit to keep them as memories; that way, I'd prove to them that the world is small and that we shouldn't remain cloistered in our shell afraid of making new friends and share new thoughts. Please Santa Claus, don't disappoint me! I've been waiting impatiently to ask you to grant my wishes and make my dream come true! I would be the happiest and luckiest boy in the world.

    A partir du moment où tu dois justifier ce que tu voulais dire, c'est que ton discours est ambigu ... Donc, il faut t'exprimer autrement ...

    je n'ai pas compris pourquoi il fallait enlever "the" devant "others" : est-ce qu'en mettant "for others", on traduit bien : "et pour les autres" (sous-entendu : "tous les autres")? Est-ce que "for the others" est incorrect et à remplacer par : "for everyone else" ?OK! others est plus général que "the others!"

    Hello Here4 et merci encore car on apprend tellement en comprenant les erreurs
    Désolé, mais j'ai encore des questions :

    Dans l'expression 1, pourquoi "everybody" est mieux que "all people"

    Dans l'expression 3, qu'est-ce qui n'allait pas avec "so many gifts" (pour dire tant de cadeaux)

    Hello Max!

    I know you like asking questions...

    - What shall I say? Well! I like it better!

    Lien internet


    => "trust your gut!"

    - "bring back so many gifts from foreign countries" sounds odd to me... (it may not to other people... ) I "bring back many/ a lot of gifts from foreign countries..." Speaking is feeling too...
