 AVANT-PROPOS

I. Nos choix
Plusieurs objectifs majeurs ont présidé à la conception de Meeting Point 2de.

1) Nous avons tout d’abord voulu mettre en œuvre le CECRL, qui vise à faire évoluer les
pratiques en matière d’enseignement et d’évaluation. Nous nous sommes posé plusieurs
questions. Comment réellement mettre en pratique le CECRL ? Comment renouveler nos
pratiques ? Comment motiver les élèves ? Comment s’aider du CECRL ?
Pour s’adosser aux programmes officiels et rendre notre enseignement plus communicatif,
nous avons conçu des projets pédagogiques qui s’articulent autour d’une tâche et d’un
contenu culturel. Chaque séquence met en jeu différentes activités langagières et permet
d’enseigner une langue de culture et de communication.
2) Le pilotage par la tâche est au cœur de nos préoccupations. Cette démarche actionnelle
donne du sens à tout l’apprentissage au cours de l’unité. C’est pourquoi elle est annoncée
dès le début de l’unité. Les contenus culturels, la tâche et les objectifs linguistiques sont
étroitement liés.
La tâche se définit comme la mise en œuvre de compétences données (skills) pour parvenir
à un résultat concret, identifiable, observable.
La tâche doit être une vraie situation de communication, une situation authentique et aussi
naturelle que possible. Elle doit permettre à l’élève de mobiliser et réinvestir tout ce qu’il a
appris. Elle permet de s’entraîner, mais aussi de s’approprier et de mémoriser ce qui a été
introduit auparavant.
Il est important de souligner que la tâche détermine l’activité langagière dominante.
Dominante ne veut cependant pas dire exclusive. Toutes les autres activités langagières
peuvent être travaillées au cours d’une unité.
3) Le but de l’apprentissage en classe de seconde est de passer d’un niveau A1 ou A2
à un niveau B1.
4) Quelles conséquences ces objectifs ont-ils sur notre enseignement ?
k La tâche détermine l’activité langagière travaillée au cours de la séquence et
oriente ainsi tout le projet. L’activité langagière privilégiée sera le fil conducteur de l’unité.
Elle s’appuiera sur les autres activités sans les exclure.
k Des micro-tâches, tâches intermédiaires (jeux de rôles, comptes rendus de textes,
de documents iconographiques par exemple) devront préparer la mise en place de la tâche
finale. Toutes les compétences ne sont pas nécessairement travaillées au cours de l’heure.
k Ceci impose d’alterner les activités langagières travaillées dans chaque projet.
k Les cinq activités langagières, pas seulement celles de compréhension et de production
écrite, seront travaillées. L’expression orale et ses deux volets (en continu et en interaction)
sont importants dans un enseignement communicatif : ceci implique de développer la parole
de l’élève et par conséquent de limiter le questionnement magistral.
k La langue devient alors un moyen de réaliser une tâche et n’est plus un objet d’étude en soi.
k L’objectif est de construire une pratique communicative : pourquoi lit-on, pourquoi
parle-t-on ? Le but est de développer l’oral en particulier, de donner de vraies raisons
d’apprendre, de communiquer (information gap) et de prendre la parole.
k L’approche choisie a pour but de dédramatiser la parole de l’élève avec des aides à la
prise de parole et une auto-évaluation positive (des descripteurs positifs : je peux, je sais).
Le projet, qui est centré sur la tâche, permet de donner aux élèves les moyens de
s’exprimer, de les remettre au centre de leur apprentissage.

4
k Notre souci a aussi été de répondre à l’hétérogénéité des classes de Seconde en
offrant des documents très divers et de difficulté variable.
k Il nous apparaît important de diversifier les activités, de ne pas privilégier l’analyse
de texte et le commentaire de texte. Tout texte n’est pas à « essorer ». Certains serviront
uniquement à une récolte d’informations et ne mériteront pas que l’on s’y attarde.
k Nous n’avons pas négligé l’acquisition lexicale (lexique et phonologie sont liés) et
syntaxique par un entraînement régulier tout au long de l’année.
k Notre préoccupation constante a été de préserver, en l’enrichissant et en l’élargissant, une
démarche que les professeurs connaissent et maîtrisent bien : approche méthodologique,
ainsi que la réflexion sur la langue en contexte.
Avec Meeting Point nous avons donc cherché à concevoir un manuel novateur qui, tout en
tenant compte des acquis antérieurs dans l’enseignement des langues, s’inscrit résolument
dans une mise en œuvre réaliste et très concrète du CECRL.
Nous avons aussi voulu tenir compte des acquis de collège : un professeur de collège et
un autre, à cheval sur les deux cycles, nous ont guidés dans cette démarche et nous ont
permis de construire un parcours très progressif.

II. La structure du manuel

Le manuel s’ouvre sur une évaluation diagnostique dans les cinq activités langagières qui
servira à faire le bilan des acquis en début d’année. Ces différentes évaluations permet-
tront la constitution des groupes de compétences. Pour se préparer à chaque évaluation
l’élève pourra s’entraîner et s’auto-évaluer à l’aide de la grille et du barème fournis.
Le manuel comporte cinq grandes parties correspondant aux cinq activités langagières
dominantes. La première comprend quatre unités, les quatre autres seulement trois.
1) Ces cinq modules permettent un travail équilibré des cinq activités langagières du
CECRL.
Pour travailler la prise de parole en continu, la première et la deuxième unités sont plus
courtes, ce qui facilitera la transition avec le collège. Ces unités s’appuient sur des thèmes
étudiés au collège, exigibles au niveau A2 : parler de soi, de ses goûts, de ses capacités
et savoir développer une description physique.
2) Chaque module est encadré par des pages spécifiques :
– une double page d’ouverture (y figurent un sommaire des thèmes travaillés ainsi que
les tâches finales à réaliser) ;
– une double page de méthodologie pour aider l’élève dans l’activité visée (nous avons
d’ailleurs consacré quatre pages à l’expression écrite). Ces pages ont été conçues pour
permettre à l’élève d’être actif : il observe, compare, déduit et s’entraîne (les conseils ne
viennent pas du professeur, mais l’élève est invité à tirer les conclusions de son observation).
➼ Nous avons en effet accordé une importance particulière à l’aide méthodologique
et aux savoir-faire que l’élève doit acquérir pour être autonome.
3) Chaque unité comprend trois pages de Language at work pour travailler la phonologie,
le lexique et la grammaire.
4) Chaque unité se clôture par une double page Your task, permettant de réaliser la tâche
finale.

5
 5) Chaque groupe d’unités se termine sur une évaluation sommative de l’activité langa-
gière dominante. Un entraînement avant l’évaluation finale est proposé à chaque fois.
Ce galop d’essai aidera l’élève à faire le point sur ses acquis avant l’évaluation sommative.
6) La fin du manuel comprend des pages de lecture suivie (Reading corner), un renfor-
cement lexical, un précis grammatical, une liste de verbes irréguliers, une double page de
phonologie et quelques pages de méthodologie (Commenter une scène de film, Commenter
un document visuel, Comprendre les consignes).
Tout au long du manuel, nous avons eu à cœur de rester réalistes et concrets : enseignants
sur le terrain, nous avons testé les unités et les documents en classe ; les mises en œuvre
du Fichier pédagogique et les productions proposées ont été élaborées en cours.

III. Développer la parole de l’élève

1) Sept unités sont consacrées à l’expression orale (prise de parole en continu et en
interaction), en outre trois unités sont centrées sur la compréhension orale, ce qui permet
à l’élève de s’entraîner régulièrement.
2) L’aide à l’élève est notre souci permanent, c’est pourquoi :
k l’entrée dans le projet pédagogique est la plupart du temps visuelle (exemple : Tune in!
p. 72) ;
k les textes sont courts ou, s’ils sont plus longs, nous les avons fractionnés (exemple :
p. 214) ;
k les fiches de compréhension écrite et orale du Workbook sont des fiches d’entraînement
et non d’évaluation ;
k l’aide lexicale fournie dans les rubriques Help! est organisée en parties en fonction du
support et par nature de mots (ceci afin de faciliter la mémorisation et l’expression orale) ;
k des amorces sont fournies pour aider les élèves les plus fragiles à se lancer à l’oral
(exemple : p. 187).
3) Mise en œuvre des documents
Tous les documents peuvent être mis en œuvre soit de façon classique avec tout le groupe
classe, soit de façon plus communicative. L’enseignant est libre de privilégier telle ou telle
démarche en fonction de ses objectifs et du profil de la classe.
k Nous avons donné au professeur la possibilité de choisir son approche, de constituer
des groupes au sein de la classe et de confier à chaque groupe un document, s’il le désire.
Ainsi on peut organiser un travail par binômes ou par groupes sur :
– un texte (exemple : p. 64) ;
– des parties de texte (exemple : p. 118) ;
– des images (exemple : p. 86 et 87).
k Des fiches d’analyse des documents iconographiques ont été conçues (exemple : p. 159).
k Des mini-tâches, simulations de role play ou act it out, sont aussi proposées (exemple : p. 46).
k Faire le compte rendu d’un document écrit ou oral est un exercice fondamental (exemple :
p. 216) auquel nos élèves doivent être entraînés.
k Réciter un poème (exemple : p. 40) ou jouer une scène de théâtre (exemple : p. 178)
permet de mettre en place et d’automatiser bien des règles de phonologie sans que l’élève
s’en aperçoive.

6
4) Consolidation des acquis
k Le travail phonologique est intégré dans les unités pour que l’élève prenne confiance.
La rubrique Improve your pronunciation permet de travailler la prononciation des mots clés de
l’unité. Ces rubriques sont téléchargeables sur le site compagnon pour permettre à l’élève de
préparer ces exercices à la maison tout en écoutant un modèle phonologique authentique.
k Le travail lexical (Build up your vocabulary) ainsi que le renforcement lexical (p. 251
à p. 254) est aussi étroitement lié à la thématique et à la tâche finale. L’apprentissage du
lexique se fait en contexte et a pour but d’aider l’élève à enrichir sa palette lexicale.
k La double page de Language at work consacrée à la grammaire a deux finalités :
examiner le fonctionnement de la langue en contexte, observer des faits de langue, en
déduire des règles de fonctionnement. Ensuite, opérer un transfert et manipuler ces faits
de langue dans des contextes différents pour vérifier que les connaissances étudiées sont
bien utilisées. Nous avons intégré à chaque fois un document iconographique afin que la
grammaire soit tout le temps utilisée en contexte.
k De nombreuses fiches du Workbook sont suivies d’une rubrique Action! pour un
guidage de la prise de parole et incitent les plus faibles à se lancer à l’oral.
➼ Tous ces types de mise en œuvre amènent à limiter le questionnement magistral
et à développer la parole de l’élève.
5) Ouvrir l’élève au monde de l’art
k En plus de l’unité 10 (Life is Art) et des différents supports iconographiques qui jalon-
nent le manuel nous avons souhaité prolonger le projet sur New York (unité 5 : City of
Glass) et faire travailler les élèves sur des représentations de la ville mythique par des
artistes de différentes époques. Ce Art Project a pour but de découvrir des œuvres
d’art, d’acquérir des repères historiques et culturels, de situer ces œuvres dans le temps et
de s’interroger sur le sens de ces tableaux ou photos.

IV. Développer l’autonomie de l’élève

k Le développement de cette autonomie passe notamment par la lecture de textes plus
longs (Reading corner). Nous avons pensé au tremplin vers la Première avec des textes plus
longs en fin de manuel, des textes variés (une nouvelle sur un pionnier aux États-Unis, un
poème, une chanson, des textes littéraires classiques, une nouvelle policière), avec fiches
d’entraînement dans le Fichier pédagogique.
k Douze compréhensions orales sont téléchargeables sur le site compagnon avec
fiches d’évaluation, corrigés et scripts disponibles dans ce Fichier et sur le site Internet.
Elles sont reliées à la thématique de l’unité et peuvent constituer un entraînement individuel à
la maison.
k Les aides méthodologiques sont récurrentes dans le manuel. Chaque groupe d’unités se
clôture sur une double page de méthodologie de l’activité langagière dominante.
k Pour faciliter l’apprentissage, nous avons créé des pages d’aide à :
– l’utilisation d’un dictionnaire (p. 97) ;
– l’exploitation d’une vidéo (Commenter une scène de film, p. 279-280) ;
– l’étude d’un document iconographique (Commenter un document visuel, p. 281-282) ;
– la compréhension des consignes (Comprendre les consignes, p. 283-284).
k Le précis grammatical, volontairement court, permet à l’élève de consolider ses bases,
compléter ses connaissances, mieux comprendre le fonctionnement de la langue anglaise.
k Les verbes irréguliers ont été enregistrés sur le CD classe n° 3 (piste 33) pour offrir
un modèle phonologique et faciliter l’apprentissage des élèves.

 V. Différencier entraînement et évaluation
Le Workbook est un outil pour que l’élève devienne autonome lorsqu’il s’agit d’activités de
réception, compréhension écrite et orale et production orale.
1) C’est pourquoi les fiches fournies sont des fiches d’entraînement et non d’évaluation.
Les fiches proposées ne visent pas à obtenir la bonne réponse, à vérifier tout de suite la
compréhension. Elles partent du repérage que les élèves peuvent faire, puis du classement
d’informations / données. Une fois ce repérage effectué, l’élève peut essayer de tisser des
réseaux de sens. Comprendre est un cheminement, implique de bâtir du sens. Lorsqu’il
écoute un document sonore, l’élève perçoit des chaînes de sons et repère des indices,
qu’il va mettre en relation. Il va émettre des hypothèses à partir des indices repérés, des
mots porteurs de sens. L’activité de compréhension orale consiste à faire émerger du sens.
Il faut donc encourager l’élève à repérer et s’appuyer sur le connu, à classer les éléments
entendus, et accepter l’idée d’une reconstitution progressive du sens. Il s’agit également
pour l’élève d’acquérir des stratégies pour gérer l’inconnu ; il nous faut donc l’entraîner à
se forger des stratégies d’écoute qui lui permettent de devenir autonome.
Il est aussi essentiel de faire prendre conscience aux élèves des parallèles avec la compréhension
écrite. Certains processus mentaux sont communs et peuvent donc être transférables d’une
compétence à l’autre. La démarche est la même en compréhension écrite : repérer certains
éléments clés, tisser des réseaux de sens, s’appuyer sur la dérivation, la composition, le contexte
pour deviner le sens des mots inconnus. Là aussi, il y a des zones d’ombre à accepter.
Pour que l’élève soit actif, nous prévoyons des tâches qu’il aura à accomplir pendant l’écoute.
Ces tâches encadrent l’écoute, facilitent la concentration et dirigent son attention sur les
points essentiels.
2) Les rubriques Action! du Workbook visent à encadrer la parole de l’élève, à lui donner les
outils suffisants pour prendre la parole en cours. Elles renforcent l’autonomie de l’élève et le
mettent en confiance pour lui permettre de prendre la parole. Cette phase est capitale.

VI. Les périphériques

1) Un DVD-Rom propose 12 vidéos d’une durée totale de 25 minutes, rattachées aux
unités, accompagnées de fiches d’entraînement, de corrigés, de pistes d’exploitation
pédagogique, de scripts et d’informations complémentaires (le Fichier présent réunit les
exploitations pédagogiques et les fiches). La partie Rom du DVD propose un appareil
pédagogique complet, permettant de voir simultanément les vidéos, les scripts et les
différentes ressources pédagogiques. Grâce à cet outil multimédia, l’enseignant peut
prendre connaissance facilement de toutes les ressources proposées pour l’étude d’une
vidéo lorsqu’il prépare son cours, puis de les vidéoprojeter en classe pendant la séance.
2) Seize transparents et leur livret d’accompagnement sont également disponibles.
3) Les trois CD classe comprennent des documents authentiques, tous les
enregistrements nécessaires à la réalisation des activités du manuel, les verbes irréguliers
et toutes les rubriques Help!
Les unités du manuel ont été testées et les mises en œuvre proposées et détaillées dans
ce Fichier sont le fruit de nos expériences en classe.
Nous sommes très intéressés par vos remarques, suggestions et critiques sur cet ouvrage.

> Mise en œuvre : cette activité de sensibilisation pourra être menée rapidement.
1. Get ready
Dans un premier temps, on demandera aux élèves de lire rapidement les passeports p. 18.
Ils doivent repérer les informations principales concernant les personnes.
a. Écoute et prise de notes : on fera écouter quatre courts enregistrements et on demandera
aux élèves de prendre des notes pour identifier les enregistrements correspondant aux deux
passeports. Pour aider les élèves dans leur prise de notes, on pourra fournir la grille suivante.

Full name
Nationality
Date of birth
Age
Place of birth
Residence
Job
Date passport

Date passport
will expire

Cette grille pourra être (rétro)projetée à l’aide d’un transparent ou d’un vidéoprojecteur. On
pourra donner un transparent à un élève qui complétera la grille au fur et à mesure de l’écoute.
On reprendra la grille et on la complètera, en la corrigeant collectivement au fur et à mesure.

> Script de l’enregistrement

1. I’m Sheila Hutchinson and I’m Jamaican. I was born on February 29th, 1981 in Kingston,
which is the capital of this country. I don’t live in Jamaica because I’m studying in the USA
to become a lawyer. My passport was issued in 2002 because I’m very fond of travelling.
I love visiting foreign countries! I go abroad every summer.
2. My name is Shani Robinson and I was also born in Jamaica on February 29th, but in 1989,
in Manchester, which is also in the southern part of Jamaica. I’m an actuary, though at the
moment, I work in France in a lycée. I needed a passport to go to France, that’s why my
passport is fairly recent: It was issued in July 2008 and will expire in 2018. I hope to have
visited many European countries by that time!
3. My name is Sarah Kendal Stine, and I am an American citizen. I was born on January 7th,
1986 in Alabama. My passport was issued in New Orleans, Louisiana because it is the state
where I live and study now. My passport was issued in 2003 and is valid for ten years.
4. I’m Debbie Steiner. I was born on June 7th, 1981 in New Orleans, and I’m Anglo-American.
I live and work as a teacher in Montgomery, Alabama which is famous because Martin Luther
King was born there. I don’t really like travelling but I needed a passport to visit my English
family next summer, so my passport is brand-new: It was issued in January 2009 and will
hopefully last until 2019 if I don’t lose it before then. I’m so careless!

14 • UNIT 1
b. Synthèse : les élèves doivent maintenant présenter les deux jeunes personnes qu’ils ont
écoutées à l’aide de leurs notes. Cela donnera lieu à une prise de parole en continu sur
chaque personne qui pourra servir de base à la trace écrite.
Productions possibles : Shani is Jamaican / a Jamaican citizen / comes from Jamaica,
a Carribean island. She was born in Manchester, on February 1989, she is in her twenties,
early twenties. She is an actuary (a statistician of an insurance company who calculates risks
and premiums). Her passport is valid until 2018.

2. Tell me more
> Mise en œuvre
k Avec une classe fragile il sera peut-être utile de réviser les constructions interrogatives.
On pourra commencer par un brainstorming afin de revoir rapidement les questions les plus
usuelles (nom, âge, adresse, nationalité, téléphone…) que les élèves manipulent depuis la 6e.
k On utilisera ensuite la fiche ci-dessous, soit (rétro)projetée, soit distribuée en copie
à la classe.

Find the questions with the help of these prompts.

vont lire.
Productions possibles : I can see three young boys sitting on a bench, in a park. I can see
teenagers relaxing in a park. I can see three teenagers listening to an iPod/music. They
share headphones so they can listen to the same music. They may be listening to new types
of music. The scene must take place at the weekend or after school because the boys look
relaxed / because they don’t wear uniforms. They seem to have plenty of time to enjoy
themselves / to have fun. They look like any teenagers. They are dressed like any teenagers
with jeans and T-shirts. Their clothes are casual. We / I can easily identify with them because
they behave as we / I do. The text may deal with teenagers’ tastes and activities. It may
be about music / listening to music. The text may be about teenagers’ behaviour. The text
deals with what teenagers do in their free time. The topic may be teenagers and their leisure
activities / hobbies / pastimes.

Productions possibles : The quiz is well-made, relevant, too obvious, too simple…
Prolongements possibles :
1. La question 5 (What is the role of music in your life?) pourra être davantage exploitée
et donner lieu à un sondage.
a. Mise en œuvre du sondage : on pourra faire bâtir un sondage à la classe en dehors
des heures de cours, les résultats pourront être donnés en classe et commentés par tous.
Voici quelques pistes.
– When do you listen to music? While you are doing your homework, on your computer, on
your way to school, in your bathroom, in your room, during the breaks at school?
– What influences you in your choice of music? Your friends, ads on TV, magazines, TV
shows, the radio stations you listen to?
– What is your favourite type of music?
b. Exploitation du sondage : les résultats pourront être présentés à la classe et commentés
à l’aide de transparents ou d’un PowerPoint élève.
c. Trace écrite possible : Listening to music plays an important part in our lives. We spend
a lot of time / of our spare time listening to music or even singing. We are addicted to music,
we can’t do without our iPod / without listening to music every day. We listen to music when
we are feeling depressed, stressed, nervous, when we are in a good / bad mood… We are all
music lovers / very keen on music…

On pourra exploiter les deux illustrations en posant la question suivante : What sort of person
does each picture correspond to?
k Cette question pourra être traitée individuellement, en binômes, ou collectivement.
k On laissera aux élèves un temps de réflexion pour chercher des idées et produire des
énoncés (sous forme de notes).
k Un élève, ou un rapporteur de binômes, prendra la parole en continu. Une reprise
collective pourra avoir ensuite lieu.
Productions possibles : The first picture corresponds to someone who loves solitude,
deserted beaches, being on his / her own, being lonely, away from civilization. This person
certainly enjoys going on holiday on an exotic island, fishing, swimming, sailing, scuba-diving.
This person loves nature, living close to nature, in the wilderness. It’s about a surfer, someone
who enjoys taking risks / having thrilling adventures.
The second picture corresponds to somebody who loves sportscars and surfing. It reminds
me of California or Hawaii because we can see beaches and palm trees. This person enjoys
surfing and speed.

> Exploitation de la photo : Speaker’s Corner
k On pourra demander aux élèves de faire une recherche rapide sur Speaker’s Corner.
k La reprise en classe donnera lieu à une prise de parole en continu.
Productions possibles : Speaker’s Corner is an area in the northeast corner of Hyde Park
in London, where ordinary people can go, especially on Sunday mornings, to make a speech
about any subject, and other people listen to them and sometimes argue with them. People
often stand on a box to make their speeches. For over 150 years it has been one of London’s
most unique and eccentric attractions. It is an open forum. Speakers are allowed to speak as
long as the police consider their speeches lawful. It is one of Britain’s most famous places for
public debate and discussion.
a. Productions possibles : The man is standing on a ladder and is holding a board. He is standing
on a ladder because he wants to be seen and heard by the crowd. The message is very clear.

2. A man for the job

> Script de l’enregistrement
➼ Part 1
Teachers, friends and fellow classmates, I stand before you today to promote myself as a
potential candidate for class president.
➼ Part 2
Do you feel that your needs, opinions and ideas go unnoticed? Would you like to make
changes around the school? Cheaper prices in the cafeteria? Longer breaks between
classes? Less homework? Well, I am just the person to voice these ideas and to get them
moving. Your vote will bring the changes you want to this school.
➼ Part 3
But you may be asking, why vote for me? I am a highly reliable and responsible person.
Working as a referee forces you to make important decisions and apply the rules equally
to everyone. You can count on me to carry out your plans. A vote for me is a vote for your
future.

That’s why he addresses his friends and fellow classmates and teachers too.
k Recap 2: Sebastian is ready to support his schoolmates to make changes at school. He
wants to promote their needs, opinions and ideas because many students are not satisfied
and think the prices in the cafeteria are too expensive, the breaks between classes are too
short and they are given too much homework.
k Recap 3: As a referee, Sebastian often makes important decisions. He has to apply the
rules to everyone. So he is a responsible young man and his school friends can trust him
and count on him: He is reliable. Because of all his skills and qualities, Sebastian can voice
other people’s opinions and get them moving.

Productions possibles : The recording deals with Sebastian’s plan to promote himself
as candidate for class president.
First, he explains that he can be a spokesperson for his friends. He voices his friends and
fellow classmates’ ideas, needs, opinions and demands. Then, he asks them if they would
like to make changes around the school because he wants to have cheaper prices at the
cafeteria, for example. He can defend them and improve their working conditions. Finally he
mentions the fact that he works as a referee in his free time so he’s used to applying the rules
to everyone and to making important decisions.
He also wants to convince them he’s the right person for the job. He insists on his skills and
qualities because he wants to be sure his classmates know he’s responsible, trustworthy and
reliable. He gives the reasons why he wants to become class president.

LANGUAGE AT WORK MANUEL k P. 22

> Le présent simple
1. Sujet (3e personne du singulier) + verbe + s
Sujet (autres personnes) + verbe
2. Forme affirmative : I come
Formes négatives : I don’t understand / she is not
Formes interrogatives : do you come? does it mean? does she do?
On utilise un auxiliaire aux formes interrogative et négative (does à la troisième personne
du singulier, do aux autres personnes). On n’utilise aucun auxiliaire à la forme affirmative.
3. twice a year • every summer • always • never
Le temps utilisé est le présent simple. Il exprime la répétition d’une action, la récurrence
d’une action qui en devient habituelle.
4. Il n’y a pas d’indication explicite de temps car cela n’est pas nécessaire. On comprend grâce
au contexte (au sens du verbe entre autres) que l’action évoquée est une caractéristique
du sujet (enjoy renvoie aux goûts du sujet qui ne sont pas soumis à un changement fréquent,
de même pour live, on ne déménage pas tous les jours ; quant au verbe look, il évoque là
clairement une caractéristique du sujet de l’énoncé).

24 • UNIT 1
5. a. On utilise le présent simple pour faire le portrait de quelqu’un, pour parler de ses goûts
(1. a), de son apparence (4. a), de tout ce qui le caractérise (4. c).
b. On emploie aussi le présent simple pour parler d’une habitude, d’une action qui se
répète (3. a, b, c et d).

> Practice
Productions possibles : When they arrive at work, my masters always check their e-mails.
After that, their secretary gives them their mail, they open it and read it. Then they check
their diary to see what appointments or meetings they have and they start working. At around
10:00, I know they never miss the break and they have tea or coffee with their colleagues.
They occasionnally phone each other. After the break they usually go to their meetings or
appointments outside. They are always stressed / freaked out when they have to present a
new project in front of their partners or rivals!
At lunchtime they manage to eat out twice a week together so they go to a nice restaurant to
unwind / relax. Or they have lunch at the cafeteria with the rest of the staff they work with.
In the afternoon, they start working again and it’s really hectic as they say they never have
time to rest.
Every day they go back home at 8:00. They have dinner at 8:30. They only eat out at weekends
because they are exhausted. They never go to bed before 11:30 because the only moment
when they can talk and sort out everyday problems is in the evening.

Productions possibles : The young lady seems upset. She may be crying. She’s hiding her face
because she has tears in her eyes / because she’s ashamed of herself. She knows she won’t be
able to face the millions of spectators. As she was too stressed, she may have forgotten the lyrics
of the song she was about to sing / she may be unable to sing. It was probably the first time she
was singing in front of an audience and she couldn’t face the situation. She must have been too
stressed. She may also be crying out of joy because she has just won an important contest.

II. ÉCOUTE DE L’ENREGISTREMENT

À l’aide de la fiche d’entraînement du Workbook (p. 9-10), les élèves repéreront les indices
clés et pourront citer les titres de film évoqués.
Les deux premiers enregistrements ont été divisés en deux parties. Si les élèves ont trouvé
le titre du film à la fin de la première partie, il est inutile de leur faire entendre la seconde.

> Script de l’enregistrement

1. Part 1
In my favourite movie the main character is a sailor who’s very funny. There is also one
actor who plays the good guy stereotype. He’s a sword maker and is also very good at
sword fighting. And of course there is also the beautiful young lady who is the daughter
of the governor of an island. She’s also very independent.
Part 2
The basic plot of the movie is this: The young lady is kidnapped by the cursed crew of a ship
and the good guy sets out to get her back. The sailor helps them throughout this adventure
and they all end up finding out what the curse of the ship is all about. My favourite character
in the movie is the sailor because he is very funny and his wit and his intelligence help him to
beat many of his enemies.
2. Part 1
One of my favourite films is about a young boy who must go on a long journey to save his
country and his people. They are in danger and threatened by evil people and creatures and
he must destroy a very powerful piece of jewellery which can only be destroyed in one way
and in one specific place. However the jewellery has evil powers and tries to lure the boy
into becoming evil.
Part 2
The hero is of average height with bright blue eyes, curly brown hair and pointed ears.
He’s a good-hearted person, soft-spoken, a little naïve but kind. He has a companion
shorter than he is, and a bit plump with blond hair. He is also less wise but he has good
intentions, and is a loyal friend.
3. My favourite movie is very witty and the dialogue is well-written. The movie is about a
teenage girl who gets pregnant and decides to have the baby and give it to a good family.
My favourite character is the teenage boy because he reminds me of my friend Cole
from high school. I also loved the movie because it used music from one of my favourite
musicians and her old band.

Approfondissements possibles :
1. The first person speaks about the film Pirates of the Caribbean. She mentions / introduces
three characters: a sailor, the good guy, and the lovely girl. The first one is played by Johnny
Depp, the second is Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley is the pretty girl. She sums up the
film plot / the story of the film in a few words. It’s all about the girl being kidnapped, and the
adventures that follow.
2. The second interview is about the film The Lord of the Rings; she says she loves Frodo
who is of average height with bright blue eyes, curly brown hair and pointed ears. He is a nice
person. He has got a good friend who is shorter and a bit plump with blond hair. He is very
naïve, but very loyal.
3. The third interview deals with the film Juno. The two main characters are teenagers. First,
there is a girl who gets pregnant and decides to have the baby and give it to a good family,
then there is a boy who is on the poster.

III. RÉACTION PERSONNELLE À CHAQUE AFFICHE

k Production possible : The first poster is more striking, more mysterious, the man in the
middle looks intriguing.
k Les élèves qui ont vu le(s) film(s) pourront en raconter l’histoire (voir résumés ci-dessous).
Pirates of the Carribean: Elizabeth Swann, the daughter of Governor Swann is kidnapped
by a group of pirates led by Captain Barbossa, and taken aboard their ship, The Black Pearl.
Will Turner, the young man who loves Elizabeth, is determined to rescue her. But he can’t do
it alone, so he asks the ship’s captain, Jack Sparrow, to help him. Together they try to find The
Black Pearl. But they soon discover that the captain and crew aren’t average pirates. They have
been cursed to remain between the living and the dead. When they learn that the only thing that
can break the curse is Elizabeth’s blood, Jack and Will race against time and fight to save the
Governor’s daughter.
Juno: The story takes place in the autumn. Juno, a 16-year-old high school junior in Minnesota,
discovers she is pregnant and is going to have a baby with her boyfriend, Bleeker. In the waiting
room of an abortion clinic, Juno decides to give birth and to place the child with an adoptive couple.
She finds a couple, contacts them, then tells her father and step-mother. She carries on going to
school. The chosen parents, trendy yuppies, meet Juno, sign papers, and the year unfolds.
k On enchaînera avec l’opinion des élèves sur ces films et sur le genre cinématographique
qu’ils préfèrent. On se servira du Help! On en profitera pour réviser l’expression du goût et
de la préférence.

2 HALL OF FAME

Productions possibles : I haven’t seen this film yet but I have heard it is very good. / I don’t
know this movie.
I quite like this film but I much prefer... I enjoyed watching it last summer.
As for me I am very fond of adventure films because they are so relaxing. I recommend... /
I can’t stand romantic comedies and I usually watch thrillers.

Informations complémentaires
Voici les définitions de trois genres cinématographiques et quelques exemples.
k Action films usually include high energy, physical stunts and chases, possibly with
rescues, battles, fights, escapes, destructive crises (floods, explosions, natural disasters,
fires, etc.), non-stop motion, and adventurous, often two-dimensional “good-guy” heroes
(or recently, heroines) battling “bad guys”.
Examples: 48 Hours, Die Hard, Air Force One, Jurassic Park, Speed, The Terminator, Twister...
k Adventure films are usually exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic searches
or expeditions for lost continents, “jungle” and “desert” epics, treasure hunts, disaster films,
or searches for the unknown.
Examples: Apollo 13, The Deep, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Little Big Man,
Lawrence of Arabia, Robinson Crusoe, Water World...
k Epics (historical dramas, war films) often cover a large expanse of time and deal with an
historical or imagined event, mythic, legendary, or heroic figure. War films show the horror
and heartbreak of war, and actual combat fighting.
Examples: Shakespeare in Love, Bridge on the River Kwai, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance
Kid, Ghandi, Gone with the Wind, Schindler’s List...

2. Your choice
> Mise en œuvre 1
k Cette première tâche intermédiaire (Prepare your task) peut être préparée à la maison
ou en classe. On demandera aux élèves d’apporter un poster, une photo de film ou d’un ac-
teur et de préparer une prise de parole en continu sous forme de mots clés, par exemple :
– Name of the film / star – His / Her personality
– Sort of film – Quick summary of the plot
– Physical description of the hero – Reasons for my choice
Le temps de parole sera d’une minute, une minute trente.
k Pendant qu’un élève s’exprime, on pourra demander aux autres de prendre des notes
sur un transparent, éventuellement en se concentrant sur des points spécifiques (repérer
les erreurs de prononciation, de lexique et de grammaire). On pourra procéder à une
reprise collective avec correction des erreurs les plus importantes. Les notes prises sur le
transparent pourront être (rétro)projetées et corrigées collectivement. Ces notes pourront
ensuite servir de base à une trace écrite.
k Cette question pourra aussi donner lieu à un travail d’expression écrite (80 mots).

exemple, ils peuvent noter l’ordre dans lequel les parties du visage sont mentionnées, puis
réagir et donner leur opinion.
Productions possibles : I can see Bruce Willis’ caricature; his face is distorted. It makes me
laugh / smile because his forehead is so big. It is much bigger than in reality / on the photo.
His ears are larger.
As for Clooney’s caricature, he looks (far) more stupid, sillier than in real life. He is wearing
a white coat, just like when he was in E.R. His cheekbones are prominent, and his chin is not
as big in the photo. I think he looks ugly.
k Ensuite, après une reprise collective, les élèves listeront les points d’entente et de
désaccord.
Productions possibles : We both agree that the caricatures are funny. But we disagree on
which one is the best. X thinks B. Willis is ridiculous, but I consider Clooney’ caricature far better.
k Enfin, on amènera la classe à comparer les deux dessins, et à dire quelle caricature ils
préfèrent, en justifiant leurs réponses.

UNIT 2 • 35
UNIT
2 HALL OF FAME

Productions possibles : Clooney is pale and clean-shaven, whereas Willis is sun-tanned and
he is growing a beard.
The first drawing is effective because it makes fun of B. Willis, but I think the second one is
far-fetched.
I don’t agree: I think it is hilarious, pathetic, because he has lost all his charm. He is no longer
handsome, a sex symbol. He looks ridiculous.

2. Guess who?
Cette activité pourrait donner lieu à un jeu de Who’s Who? en binômes ou en groupes.
Un élève décrit l’une des quatre caricatures au reste de la classe (dont les livres sont fermés)
et ses camarades doivent deviner de qui il s’agit.
Réponses (de gauche à droite) : Angelina Jolie – Mr Bean / Rowan Atkinson – Britney
Spears – Amy Winehouse
Productions possibles :
– Angelina Jolie: The American Hollywood star is portrayed with full and sensual lips. She
looks ugly, although she is glamorous and one of the world’s most beautiful women.
– Mr Bean / Rowan Atkinson: We are immediately struck / We immediately notice Mr Beans’s
bushy eyebrows and black hair. The caricature of the British comedian and actor is close to
reality. He is said to be bug-eyed and weak-chinned.
– Britney Spears looks like a bimbo (an attractive but unintelligent young woman). She looks
like a sex bomb with her low-necked tank top. She is holding a can of Coke.
– Amy Winehouse: The British singer and song-writer, looks gothic. She is dressed in dark
clothes, wears heavy make-up. I quite like this caricature of a famous singer who has got dark
hair and black eyes. Her head and her mouth are distorted, whereas her body is tiny. She
looks like a rebel. Her make-up is too heavy. She looks weird, drunk, stoned.

Informations complémentaires
Mr Bean became a cult favourite in the British series Blackadder, and an even bigger star in
big screen comedies including Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually.

Prolongement possible : on trouvera à l’adresse suivante www.magixl.com/heads/cliparts.php

toute une série de caricatures. Après avoir procédé à une sélection, on pourra s’en servir pour
une production écrite, ou encourager les élèves à choisir une star et à en dresser le portrait à
l’écrit ou en prise de parole en continu.

2. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANUEL k P. 26-27

N.B. : l’enregistrement de ce texte se trouve sur le CD classe n°1, piste 8.
> Exploitation de l’illustration
Cette photo servira de sensibilisation au thème abordé et permettra d’introduire du lexique
utile pour reformuler l’implicite du texte. Il faudra néanmoins veiller à fournir ces quelques
mots au préalable : sweatshirt, a hooded (fleece) jacket, a pair of jeans.
On demandera aux élèves de décrire l’image dans un premier temps, avant de passer à son
interprétation.

36 • UNIT 2
 Productions possibles : A teenager is seen from behind. He is wearing a hooded (fleece)
jacket and jeans. He is watching the pedestrians, the passers-by walking in the street. He is
on his own / alone / by himself.
He looks lonely / lonesome, isolated, cut off from the others, miserable, depressed, gloomy.
He seems to be an outsider, a misfit, on the fringe of society. He seems to be an outcast
(a person who is rejected or excluded from a group or from society). He is without friends.
As he is seen from behind, we can suppose he symbolizes teenagers who feel rejected by
their friends and families. There is a huge gap between him and the passers-by. This gap may
suggest this young boy has problems communicating with others.

1. Get ready
Une première lecture rapide du texte (skimming) devrait permettre aux élèves de repérer
rapidement des informations clés.
Réponses : a. Adrian Mole, 16 b. Saturday April 2nd; it’s his birthday. c. Manchester d. his
parents, a waitress, the dog, three policemen, a desk sergeant e. a fish lorry, Manchester
railway station café, a park bench, in the vicinity of the Blood Transfusion Headquarters

2. Understanding the text

La fiche d’entraînement du Workbook fera l’objet d’un travail en classe ou à la maison. Pour
mieux comprendre les consignes données dans le Workbook, on conseillera aux élèves de
s’aider des p. 283-284 du manuel (« Comprendre les consignes »).

II. ACTION!
➼ RECAP PART 1
1. He’s miserable, so he pretends to have run away.
2. We are told that it is his 16th birthday and he is the eldest child of the family.
3. His mongrel dog is his friend.
4. He feels miserable because nobody has said “Happy Birthday” to him. So, he writes himself
a birthday card because he feels lonely and wants to celebrate his birthday. He thinks his
parents miss him.
5. All alone in the streets.

➼ RECAP PART 2
6. He feels anxious and miserable because he is going to spend another night on the streets.
7. He’s afraid of spending one more night alone on the streets. He wants to say he has been
reported missing by the police. He seems anxious because no one has reacted.
8. His portrait and that of his dog are negative because he is not self-confident. We realize
that he has run away to cry for help.
9. Not reported missing.

N. B. : les synthèses proposées dans le Workbook pourront être traitées au fur et à mesure
(c’est-à-dire après l’étude de chaque partie du texte) ou à la fin de l’élucidation du texte.
La synthèse partielle pourra se faire individuellement ou par binômes. Un élève ou un
rapporteur de binôme pourra faire la synthèse à l’oral. Si la synthèse est faite à l’écrit, le
professeur pourra donner à un ou deux groupes un transparent qu’il (rétro)projettera et l’on
corrigera collectivement. Cette synthèse pourra servir de base à une trace écrite.

3. Story telling
> Mise en œuvre
On encouragera la classe à utiliser le Help! On pourra aussi se servir du Action! du Workbook
pour préparer la prise de parole en continu visant à résumer le texte.
Dans le cadre d’une classe fragile, on divisera la classe en deux. On demandera à chaque
groupe de préparer un résumé oral de ce qu’il a lu. Le premier parlera de la matinée et de
l’après-midi du jeune héros, alors que le second s’attachera à la soirée d’Adrian Mole.

38 • UNIT 2
 Chaque groupe écoutera les autres avec attention et prendra des notes. Il pourra intervenir
à tout moment pour demander des explications et corriger si nécessaire.
Productions possibles : The hero is a teenager who is quite small, not so strong and who is
wearing a green school blazer and orange trousers. He’s got a dog.
He left his home because he felt lonely. He hitch-hiked Manchester Railway Station and was
so embarrassed he pretended to be asleep.
We learn it is his birthday today. But he is alone / lonely / isolated and miserable. He went to
the railway café to get some food, but could not stay and he feels both angry and sad.
Indeed, he keeps thinking about his parents and their reaction when they realise he has run
away. Maybe they will take no notice, won’t care a damn about him.
So he writes himself a birthday card and writes his own message inside to cheer himself up.
I think he can’t stand his parents’ indifference towards him. They probably haven’t got any
present for him.
He feels so desperate that he hides his situation: He doesn’t want anyone to see he is neglected.
Yet he decides to call the police and ask for help. However they don’t care.They think it is a
practical joke, he is joking / kidding, he is taking them for a ride, pulling their legs.

4. Follow-up work
En début d’année le travail sur le tableau de Norman Rockwell pourra être mené en classe.
Les élèves s’aideront des p. 281-282 du manuel (« Commenter un document visuel ») pour
localiser les objets et les personnages.
Le tableau pourra être étudié en s’appuyant sur la fiche du Workbook ou (rétro)projeté en
couleur grâce au transparent n° 1.
On peut fournir les aides lexicales suivantes.
Atmosphere People’s description Place Actions
friendly a uniform at the counter order a drink
relaxed cap stool: tabouret have a break
tense holster floor: sol chat
inquisitive boots lean over
casual clothes smile at sb
tiny: minuscule

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 13)

1. – The atmosphere is cheerful and relaxed in the painting, whereas it is gloomy and sad in
the text. Indeed the characters are all smiling in the picture.
– In the text, the policeman is sarcastic and makes a laughing stock of the boy. On the
contrary, the policeman seems friendly and ready to help in the painting.
– The waitress was hostile and makes Adrian leave the café while the barman in the painting
looks amiable and takes his time to listen to the little boy.

2 HALL OF FAME

2. BOY: “Good afternoon, can I have a glass of milk please?”

BARMAN: “Certainly you can. Are you travelling on your own?”
BOY: “Yes sir.”
POLICEMAN: “Hello young man, have you lost your way, can I be of any help?”
BOY: “It’s OK, I’m just on my way to my grand-ma.”
POLICEMAN: “Well, does she live around here? Do you want me to get you there?”
BOY: “Oh no, she is in Chicago!”
BARMAN: “Chicago, that’s quite some distance, miles away from here! Are you walking?”
BOY: “Yes, Dad always says exercise is good for you. Anyway, I want to live with her because
she is much nicer than my Mum and Dad. And she can cook real good cakes!”
POLICEMAN: “Oh I see you are a runaway, a big adventurer, a man on the move.”
BOY: “That’s it. I want to see a city before school starts. This country life is too boring for
me.”
BARMAN: “But your parents will be dead worried, won’t they?”
BOY: “ Oh, I don’t think so, I left them a message on the kitchen table, so they’ll know.”
POLICEMAN: “Well boy drink up this glass of milk, and we’ll give them a call, just in case, and
see what we can do then.”

Ensuite, on amènera la classe à comparer les deux fugitifs, celui du texte et celui du tableau.
Les deux ambiances sont très différentes.
Productions possibles : The runaway in the painting looks cheerful and relaxed, whereas
Adrian Mole is ill-at-ease and sad. I think Adrian Mole is more desperate and unhappy. The
little boy is neither scared nor anxious. He is not as worried as the teenager.
The policeman in the painting looks nice and understanding, whereas in the text the police
officer sounds bored and uninterested.

TUNE IN! MANUEL k P. 30-31

1. Understanding the comic strip

a. On pourra projeter la bande dessinée de Calvin and Hobbes en transparent en se concentrant
tout d’abord sur la 1re vignette pour identifier la situation. Puis, livre ouvert, on laissera aux
élèves le temps de prendre connaissance de l’ensemble du document en se concentrant
sur la deuxième vignette et en s’aidant des mots spaceman et planet Mok. On s’assurera
que la situation est claire pour tous les élèves, et qu’ils ont notamment compris que Calvin
et Spaceman Spiff sont un seul et même personnage.
b. On se penchera à nouveau sur la 1re vignette, en la comparant à la dernière et on demandera
à différents élèves de décrire les lieux, personnages et actions.
Productions possibles : The scene takes place in a spaceship. Vile monsters like larvae or
lice can see Spaceman Spiff is approaching and want to attack / to open fire on him whereas
in the last frame, Calvin, a little boy, is having a bath and his mother is washing his hair but
Calvin is thrashing around, he is angry / cross and calls his mother a fiend.
L’opposition entre les vignettes 1 et 8 fera ressortir l’idée du rêve. On pourra alors espérer
des productions du type : He must be dreaming. It’s a fantasy. He dreams he is a super
spaceman with super powers.

On leur laissera le temps nécessaire pour préparer un résumé de la situation.
k Dans une approche plus communicative, on pourra partager la classe en deux :
le groupe 1 résumera les vignettes 2 à 4 et le groupe 2 les vignettes 5 à 7.
k La vignette 8 sera reprise et complétée à la lumière du résumé de ces aventures.
Productions possibles : In his dream, Calvin is a hero, an astronaut flying in his spaceship
and living incredible adventures but he has a problem with his spaceship and must land on
planet Mok. He crashes on the planet and is immediately attacked by the space monsters.
As he is brave and bold, reckless and fearless he opens fire on them. He is nevertheless
made prisoner by the monsters and is sent to jail. The vicious monsters want to torture him,
make him speak and make fun of him. He endures ordeals. We understand that Calvin is
dreaming. Washing his hair is like torture to him. He hates having a bath. He sees his mother
as the enemy who wants to force him to wash his hair.

2. Re-order the text

a. On fera lire le texte des bulles aux élèves avant de leur accorder quelques minutes pour les
associer aux vignettes correspondantes. Ce travail se fera individuellement.
b. Puis on demandera à un maximum d’élèves de donner leurs réponses en les justifiant à l’aide
des mots clés qui leur ont permis de trouver la solution. Ceci permettra d’insister sur les
mots : crash landing, taken prisoner, dungeon (qui est un faux ami dans ce contexte), daring
(à rapprocher de bold dans le Help!), interrogation room et ominous (à rapprocher de sinister).
Corrigé : A6 (monster) • B5 • C4 • D6 (Calvin) • E7 • F3

3. Dreams versus reality

a. On réactivera l’expression du contraste et de l’opposition. Pour les élèves en difficulté,
on mettra au point un énoncé basé sur la 3e case du Help! (section Dream) : Calvin is
dreaming: He wishes he could fly in a spaceship. Puis on fera rebrasser cette structure.
Productions possibles : Calvin is dreaming: He wishes he were a hero, he identifies with
Spaceman Spiff and he wishes he could fight with the space monsters. He wishes he lived
thrilling adventures. He is daydreaming! He certainly wishes his mother didn’t wash him / he
didn’t have to wash his hair, to obey.
b. On passera ici à un élargissement personnel avec appel au vécu. Cette prise de parole sera
préparée en classe ou donnée en travail à la maison. On pourra préciser la consigne avec
les questions suivantes : What about? How often? In what circumstances?

1. A BETTER WORLD? MANUEL k P. 32-33

k Le travail pourra être mené collectivement ou donner lieu à un travail en binômes suivi

 k En début d’année quelques questions pourront aider les élèves à analyser le document :
– What are people doing?
– What does this gap / chasm symbolize?
– What are the artist’s goals? Is the message optimistic or pessimistic? Why?
Productions possibles : We are immediately struck by the bridge that is being built over a
chasm. We can see men and women building a bridge over a huge and deep chasm between
two high and steep mountains. It could represent people living in two different worlds, countries
or continents. The gap / the great divide may symbolize the limit between the North and South,
developing and developed countries, different ethnic groups or religious groups, people who
are enemies, borders between countries. It may symbolize cultural differences: food, lifestyle,
religion, values. Everyone is participating / giving a hand. They are helping one another. It’s a
common achievement. They are trying to bridge the gap, that is to say to overcome prejudices,
to have relations / contacts / exchanges with people on the other side. These people are trying
to break down barriers. It seems to be a long and difficult process that will take a long time.
The message is quite optimistic because it means that everything is possible when we make
an effort and try to overcome our differences. This illustration is idealistic and hopeful. I believe
this dream could come true if everybody tried. The themes of the song may be peace and
communion between people.

2. Understanding the text

> Mises en œuvre possibles :
k Approche collective : l’ensemble de la classe travaillera sur toute la chanson.
k Travail en binômes ou en groupes : le professeur partagera la classe en deux groupes.

d. This a committed song. John Lennon denounces all the causes of division and the sources
of conflict, the selfishness, violence and greed of man. He refers to / hints at conflicts and
invasions of territories, we can imagine soldiers, heads of states led by jingoism, and extremism
leading to wars. He also denounces religious intolerance. In stanza 4, he criticizes the feeling of
jealousy between men, due to their possessions and their desire to always own more and more
things instead of sharing things and living like brothers in harmony.

3. Recap
k Ce Recap se fera à l’aide de la fiche correspondante du Workbook p. 14 tout en insistant
sur la structure de cette prise de parole grâce aux mots de liaison proposés.
k Ce travail pourra faire l’objet d’une préparation à la maison.

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 14)

1. a. In this song, John Lennon first opposes reality with dreams / the dream of a world in
which all men could live together and in harmony. In a world without nationalism /
jingoism there won’t be any wars, any casualties, any disputes over territories, no
reason to kill.
Secondly, he underlines the contrasts between the different countries and beliefs /
religions in the world.
He then denounces the materialistic world in which we live and which leads men to
envy and jealousy.
Finally, he urges people to dream / keep dreaming and accept others as they are and
to live in a unified and peaceful world.
He’s optimistic because he knows he is not the only one to dream: He can urge other
people to dream of a better world too, therefore he hopes he can persuade other
people to dream like him / with him, to act for peace.
He believes in a better world in which everyone can live in harmony, that’s why he
gives the image of a world “as one” / he repeats “imagine” in his song.
2. He would like to abolish all borders / barriers between countries and religions / eradicate
all jealousy and rivalry between men.
He would like people to help one another / live peacefully / with no rivalry / like brothers
and not enemies.
He dreams of a better world in which solidarity would be the rule. He hopes to urge people
to believe in this dream and dream with him.
He wishes he could convince as many people as he can. He wishes people were more
respectful / open-minded / generous / kind with one another. He wishes people believed
in this dream / a peaceful world.
He hopes his dream will come true one day. He is confident / optimistic in the future.
He longs / yearns for a better world.
3. I believe that this is a utopia / idealistic / naïve / this is not possible.
To my mind if everyone tried to be a bit more friendly with one another, the world would be
a better place / this vision is too optimistic: Politics and religion are too important in the
world. This dream represents an ideal; I’d like to believe in it.
It is an anti-religious, anti-national and anti-capitalist song.
It is a protest song, the song of a peace activist.

Productions possibles : Martin Luther King lists the problems he was confronted with at
that time in the USA: He mentions the colour of his skin. He also mentions Alabama which is a
southern state where segregation and racism were very strong. The Civil Rights Act was only
signed in 1964. At the same time, his vision is peaceful and optimistic. He wants his children not
to be judged by the colour of their skin, on racist grounds but for themselves and who they are.
He believes people are created equal by God. I believe King and Lennon share similar goals and
are both optimistic: They both want people to realize that adults or children are all equal and
can live like brothers and sisters / that love should motivate people and not hatred. The image
of joining hands reminds me of Lennon’s song and of the illustration. Lennon wants people
to believe in a world “as one” and King refers to an ideal nation where everyone could live in
harmony with the rest of the population. Lennon urges people to join him in his dream when he
repeats “imagine” and King repeats “I have a dream” as if to convince people. He dreams of a
day when all barriers between people will be abolished and when the colour of one’s skin will
not make any difference. I believe it is beautiful to finish on an optimistic note with the word
“today”: He wants to act for peace now.

1. Get ready
Exploitation du tableau : la préparation pourra être individuelle ou donner lieu à un travail
en binômes ou en groupes.
Écrire quelques questions au tableau pourra aider à analyser le tableau :
– What is this young woman doing?
– What impressions are given?
– What explains her attitude?
On demandera aux élèves d’observer l’image accompagnant le texte pour en faire ressortir
les lieux et le personnage, ce qui aidera à la compréhension de la première phrase du texte :
a house on a hill.
Productions possibles : This painting is entitled Christina’s World and was painted in 1948
by Andrew Wyeth. In the foreground, a young woman is turning her back to us and is half lying
on a field facing two huge houses in the background. Although she is not looking at us, we can
almost feel she is staring at these houses. The huge gap between the woman and the houses
in the distance suggests she is an outsider, she does not belong to this world or that she may
be estranged from this world. She may be envying these people. She may have been rejected
by her family. She may feel lonely and miserable. She may be desperate because she has
nobody to talk to, who can understand her.

48 • UNIT 3
 Informations complémentaires
The woman crawling through the tawny grass was the artist’s neighbor in Maine, who,
crippled by polio, “was limited physically but by no means spiritually”. Wyeth further
explained, “The challenge to me was to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a
life which most people would consider hopeless.” He recorded the arid landscape, rural
house, and shacks with great detail, painting minute blades of grass, individual strands of
hair, and nuances of light and shadow. In this style of painting, known as magic realism,
everyday scenes are imbued with poetic mystery.

Corrigé : The narrator must be a young boy or girl whose father works for rich people / whose
father is a gardener and who dreams of having a beautiful / comfortable / luxurious house

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 14-16)

I. 1. The narrator, his or her Papa and Mama and Nenny who might be the sister or
grandmother.
2. The father works as a gardener (“the gardens where Papa works”, l. 2) in rich houses
“on hills” (l. 13).
3. Sunday corresponds to the father’s day off when he doesn’t work.
4. “I” (l. 1): the narrator, a child
“We” (l. 3): the narrator’s family / the narrator and his / her parents
“You” (l. 4): the narrator
5. “stuck-up” (l. 6) and “ashamed” (l. 8).
6. “stare” (l. 8)
7. … we will buy a house like these too / we will not only dream but live our dream
8. sleep: rich people who live in houses on hills
forget: rich people
live: poor people like the narrator’s family
don’t look down: rich people

12. k “passing bums” (l. 23), “them” (l. 24)
k “happy” (l. 29)
II. 1. He / She belongs to a poor, working-class family who must live in dire straits. The narrator
is only a child and envies the houses where his / her father works. He / She looks forward to
having such a house one day, to being generous and giving shelter to bums.
2. For the narrator, a house on a hill corresponds to the world of the haves, an impossible
world he / she cannot afford to buy and live in.
He / She must be eager to have such a house.

Approfondissement possible : He / She is envious of wealthy people who own big and
comfortable houses. He / She has stopped going for walks in these neighbourhoods because
he / she can’t tell his / her family he / she is ashamed of their attitude, he / she is tired of it,
he / she is embarrassed and resentful. He / She is aware of the gap between the haves and
the have-nots. He / She is aware that rich people look down on him / her, ignore those who are
worse off. They are selfish, self-centered. They don’t have to live in awful conditions. That’s why
the narrator will never forget his / her origins / past. When he / she owns his / her own house,
he / she will help the homeless, the underdogs. He / She will be generous and warm-hearted.

3. Speak in chains
a. Les élèves s’appuieront sur leurs notes dans le Workbook ; chaque élève fournira une phrase,
le suivant enchaînera et devra écouter ce qui vient d’être dit. On veillera à ce que les phrases
s’enchaînent assez vite.
b. Ici, on rebrassera (ou mettra en place) les structures de l’opinion.
Productions possibles : In my opinion the woman in the painting and the narrator both look
envious, they both stare at houses on the hills. They are outsiders, are cut off from people.
The woman has a long way to go, has difficulty reaching her goal. It gives an impression of
loneliness. There is a parallel between the two situations.

3. DREAMS MANUEL k P. 35

1. Understanding the poem

k On exploitera tout d’abord l’illustration accompagnant le poème en demandant aux
élèves leurs impressions.
Productions possibles : It makes me think of a peaceful landscape. I can see a field covered
in snow, it must be dawn or dusk as the sun is ready to rise or set. I like the bluish colour of
the photograph. In the background, the sun is like a golden dot, a light in this cold and yet
peaceful atmosphere. There’s a general impression of quietness and serenity, as if we were
the only ones to witness this scene. The sun may symbolize hope / a glimmer of hope / the
promise of better days.

 k Après lecture du texte, les élèves se tourneront vers leur Workbook pour étudier ce court
poème et en apprécier la forme.
k Concernant la question b., qui constitue une mini-tâche, on s’aidera du Action! de la fiche
du Workbook qui apporte toute l’aide nécessaire. Un élève proposera ses réponses et le reste
de la classe les complétera.

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 16-17)

I. 1. The poem is composed of two stanzas of four lines each.
2. k have in one’s hand: hold k because: for
k firmly, tightly: fast k not fertile: barren
3. a field
4. broken-winged = participe passé (past participle) + nom (noun) + -ed
It means a bird with wings that are broken.
It conveys an image of despair, death, of a handicap.
5. “Frozen” is the past participle of the verb “freeze”.
It is associated with “field” and also “life”.
6. The narrator is speaking to everyone, potential and real dreamers.
7.
Life without dreams Advice given
a broken-winged bird • that cannot fly • hold fast to dreams
a barren field • frozen with snow
II. The message of the poem is to continue to dream / keep dreaming because without
dreams, life is not worth living. The poet urges everyone to dream if they want to see their
dreams come true.
Approfondissement possible : In this poem the poet stresses that dreams are the soul
of life. Without dreams life is not worth living. It is a powerful incentive, a driving force.
The narrator urges us to keep dreaming, to keep struggling if we want to make our dreams
come true or make them turn into reality, if we want to fulfil our dreams. Dreams give us
a glimmer of hope. Thanks to them we remain optimistic, energetic, hopeful. Even if it is
hard / No matter how hard it is, we must keep on dreaming. However hard it is we must
keep struggling.

2. How to pronounce

> Script de l’enregistrement

➼ Part 1
I was a terrible student in High School and the thing that the auto accident did – and it
happened just as I graduated, so I was at this sort of crossroads – but it made me apply
myself more, because I realized more than anything else what a thin thread we hang on in
life, and I really wanted to make something out of my life.
➼ Part 2
And I was in an accident that, in theory, no one could survive. So it was like, “Well I’m here,
and every day now is an extra day. I’ve been given an extra day so I’ve got to make the most
of it.” And then the next day I began with two extra days. And I’ve sort of – you can’t help in
that situation but get into a mind set like that, which is you’ve been given this gift and every
single day is a gift, and I wanted to make the most of it.
➼ Part 3
Before, when I was in High School, I just sort of wandered around. I wanted to be a car
mechanic and I wanted to race cars and the idea of trying to make something out of my life
wasn’t really a priority.
➼ Part 4
But the accident allowed me to apply myself at school. I got great grades. Eventually I got
very excited about anthropology and about social sciences and psychology, and I was able
to push my photography even further and eventually discovered films and film schools.
➼ Part 5
I decided to go to film school because I loved the idea of making films. I loved photography
and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into
the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in. So
everybody was thinking I was silly. “You’re never going to get a job.”
➼ Part 6
But I wasn’t moved by that. I set the goal of getting through film school, and just then focused
on getting to that level because I didn’t – you know, I didn’t know where I was going to go
after that. I wanted to make documentary films, and eventually I got into the goal of – once I
got to school – of making a film. One of the most telling things about film school is you’ve got
a lot of students in those days especially, it’s not quite so much today, but wandering around
saying, “Oh, I wish I could make a movie. I wish I could make a movie.” You know, “I can’t get
in this class. I can’t get any this or that.”
➼ Part 7
The first class I had was an animation class. It wasn’t a production class. I had a history class
and an animation class. And, in the animation class they gave us one minute of film to put
onto the animation camera to operate it, to see how you could move left, move right, make
it go up and down. It was a test. You had certain requirements that you had to do. You had
to make it go up and had to make it go down, and then the teacher would look at it and say,
“Oh yes, you manoeuvred this machine to do these things.” I took that one minute of film and
made it into a movie, and it was a movie that won like, you know twenty or twenty-five awards

UNIT 3 • 53
UNIT
3 MAKE A WISH

in every film festival in the world and kind of changed the whole animation department.
Meanwhile all the other guys were going around saying, “Oh, I wish I could make a movie.
I wish I was in a production class.” So then I got into another class and it wasn’t really a
production class but I managed to get some film and I made a movie. And, I made lots of
movies while in school while everybody else was running around saying, “Oh, I wish I could
make a movie. I wish they’d give me some film.”

Productions possibles : Everybody knows George Lucas, who is a famous film director. But
did you know that he had a terrible auto accident during his childhood. After that, he decided to
apply himself more at school and to make something out of his life. Although everybody said it
was a crazy idea, he kept dreaming about going to film school to make films. He persevered /
never lost hope, he was determined and believed in himself. He stuck to his dreams to make
films, he held on to his dream. He fulfilled his dream when he made a one-minute film for his
animation class and it became his first film which won many awards. It is very encouraging to
hear George Lucas share his personal experience and prove that you can succeed if you believe
in yourself.

éléments en leur donnant quelques mots : Kind of text? Source? Illustration? Beginning of
the text?
Productions possibles : It’s a press / newspaper article. / It’s an article from a magazine.
It dates back to 2008. A photograph illustrates the article whose headline is “The daughters
of immigrants often make career choices their moms don’t understand.” The article may
deal with this woman’s life and dreams. She must be a singer / an artist and maybe she has
dreamt of becoming a singer since she was a child. Perhaps her mother disapproves of /
objects to her choice and doesn’t understand why / her motives.
b. On demandera ensuite aux élèves de lire les deux premières phrases de l’article et d’y réagir
immédiatement en affinant leurs hypothèses.
Productions possibles : The article may deal with the problems girls have with their mothers
who have immigrated from foreign countries when they choose a job their parents don’t accept.
Mothers may want their daughters to marry or have great jobs. Maybe they want them to become
doctors or lawyers. Perhaps parents, especially mothers, had different dreams or expectations
for their daughters. They may want a better life for them.

2. Understanding the text

> Mises en œuvre possibles :
k Approche collective : on demandera aux élèves de lire les questions a. à e. et de lire
le texte pour y répondre en leur donnant le temps nécessaire pour le faire. Ceci peut faire
l’objet d’un travail à la maison.
k Travail en groupes / en binômes : on divisera la classe en deux groupes. Le groupe 1 se
concentrera sur les questions a. et b. tandis que le groupe 2 répondra aux questions c. à e.
Dans chaque groupe, un ou plusieurs rapporteurs procédera à une prise de parole en continu,
pendant que les autres élèves prendront des notes et poseront des questions si nécessaire.
Productions possibles :
a. The girl in the picture is Sparlha Swa, she is 27.
b. – Her mother is called Juliet Hart and she is from Jamaica. She broke her back and worked 16
hours a day.
– Sparlha was a brilliant / an excellent student / a straight-A student and majored in
anthropology in Stanford, a prestigious American university.
– Her dream was to become a musician. She dreamed of being a musician and making a living
out of her passion for music.
– She believes her mother sacrificed herself for her children and wants to honour her, that’s
why she wrote a song for her. Her mother has become her biggest fan, so they must really get
on well and have a special / very close relationship.
c. Words referring to music: passion (l. 20) • singer-songwriter (l. 20) • performed (l. 21) •
songs (l. 21) • lines (l. 22) • fan (l. 24)

56 • UNIT 3
d. Words connected with conflict: clash (l. 5) • conflict (l. 5) • painful (l. 6) • inexplicable (l. 14)
e. The word “dream” is repeated four times.
Approfondissement possible : The mother expected her daughter to go to university. She
was looking forward to seeing her daughter climb the rungs of the social ladder. For the mother
who is an immigrant, education is a way of escaping poverty, a chance of improving one’s
living conditions, of changing classes. Her dream was shattered when Sparlha announced she
wanted to become a musician. The mother may think being a singer is a risky job. She may
be disappointed. Sparlha realizes her mother had sacrificed her life for her sake, to give her
children better prospects. She dedicated her life to her children. She never fulfilled her own
dreams. That’s why the daughter wants to seize the opportunity she is given and honour her
mother at the same time.

3. Invent a dialogue
k Le professeur divisera la classe en deux groupes : ceux qui joueront le rôle du ou de la
journaliste (et devront donc s’inventer une identité avec un nom de chaîne et préparer leurs
questions en accord avec ce qu’ils ont appris dans l’article) et ceux qui joueront Sparlha.
Ces derniers devront donc revoir leurs notes pour répondre aux questions.
k On privilégiera le naturel de l’interview en faisant préparer les questions (ce qui fera l’objet
d’un travail à la maison) sans que les élèves qui joueront Sparlha en prennent connaissance
à l’avance.
k Critères d’évaluation (proposition de barème) : voir grille p. 55.

Last night, while I lay thinking here, |
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear |

Whatif they’ve closed the swimming pool? |
Whatif I get beat up? |

Heroes
L’objectif de cette unité est, d’une part, de faire connaître aux élèves des personnalités dont
ils n’ont pas forcément entendu parler (Sir Edmund Hillary, Cathy Freeman, Dian Fossey…)
et, d’autre part, de parler de types de héros très différents (défenseur de l’environnement ou
des droits de l’homme, détenteur de records, héros du quotidien…) afin d’aborder et / ou de
rebrasser des champs lexicaux extrêmement variés. Enfin, choisir des héros proches de l’âge
des élèves (Bethany Hamilton, Sebastian Clover, Ishmael Beah, Mattie Stepanek) ne devrait
pas les laisser indifférents.

 TUNE IN! MANUEL k P. 42

1. React to this book cover

> Mise en œuvre
L’analyse de la photo pourra être préparée en classe ou à la maison.
a. On peut s’attendre à ce que les élèves associent l’homme de la photo à un acteur (Ben Affleck
dans le film Pearl Harbor, Tom Cruise dans Top Gun, Christopher Reeve dans Superman…), ou à
Saint-Exupéry.
Productions possibles : The man in the picture makes me think of Ben Affleck starring in
Pearl Harbor. This man who is standing proudly reminds me of... He is wearing his pilot’s
gear, a leather jacket, a helmet, goggles, and gloves. He is standing still, motionless, upright
and erect. He looks ready to go on another mission. He seems to be just back from a battle.
b. L’objectif est ici de lister les qualités intrinsèques d’un héros.
Productions possibles : This is a low-angle shot. Its impact on the viewer is quite obvious:
The man looks taller and even more courageous. I think he seems to be triumphant and
fearless. The low-angle shot conveys the impression the man is tough, strong, impressive,
well-built, muscular, brave and courageous. He looks all the more heroic because of the
low-angle shot. He seems to have a little smile on his face because he has achieved his goal.
I like this man who is handsome and sporty. He looks really attractive to me. He may be a
womanizer when we see the blond girl drawn on his jacket. He is the kind of person ready
to risk his life for others and who never gives up till he has overcome all the difficulties.

2. Role play
> Mise en œuvre
k Au préalable, le professeur peut procéder à un brainstorming afin de déterminer quelles
expressions peuvent être utilisées lorsqu’un bureau éditorial se réunit.
Productions possibles : Good afternoon, we have to decide today what picture would be
best for the book How to Be a Hero. Look, I’ve found this super shot: What do you think? He
looks handsome, doesn’t he?
Suggérer aux élèves d’utiliser des gap fillers ainsi que des mots de liaison pour articuler les
cinq arguments à trouver.
k On pourra mettre en place l’activité intitulée Just a minute sur le site de l’Académie de
Caen (rubrique : « Débats Citoyens, Quelques activités d’entraînement possibles »). Un
premier élève doit essayer de parler pendant une minute. Il ne doit pas se répéter, être hors
sujet ou hésiter (mais peut et doit même utiliser des gap fillers). S’il ne respecte pas ces
règles, le premier élève qui brandit une carte « Hésitation », « Répétition » ou « Déviation »
prend la parole et le time-keeper remet son chronomètre à zéro.
k On pourra également demander aux élèves d’apporter la photo de la personne qui, à
leurs yeux, illustrerait au mieux ce livre.
k Le lexique de la rubrique Help! pourra être fixé à l’aide de la fiche suivante (disponible
sur le site compagnon en version photocopiable).

1. ROLE MODELS MANUEL k P. 43

Objectifs :
– compétences langagières : compréhension écrite, expression écrite, production orale
en continu et / ou interaction ;
– compétences linguistiques : amener les élèves à parler plus longtemps en étoffant leurs
productions grâce à des éléments biographiques.

1. Do you know them?

> Mise en œuvre possible
a. Avant de faire ouvrir le manuel, le professeur peut noter au tableau (ou sur un transparent
pour rétroprojecteur) les noms des huit personnages évoqués sur cette page. Puis il
demandera aux élèves s’ils en connaissent certains. M.L. King, C. Freeman et N. Armstrong
seront probablement cités. On encouragera alors les élèves à dire ce qu’ils savent de ces
héros. Pour les autres personnages, nous suggérons de mettre en place un jeu rapide de
Who’s Who? Les élèves interrogeant leur professeur tout en prenant des notes (Is he / she still
alive? When did he / she live? What is / was his / her nationality? Where does / did she work?
What did he / she explore / discover?)

64 • UNIT 4
b. et c. Corrigé : A5 • B 6 • C8 • D4 • E1 • F7 • G3 • H2
Productions possibles : Alexander Fleming was a scientist as it was a bacteriologist.
He became famous because he discovered penicillin and he is now considered the father
of modern medicine. He must have been a very persevering man.
Prolongement possible : on pourra suggérer un Follow-up work en demandant aux élèves de
faire de brèves recherches sur l’un de ces héros et de se préparer à le présenter à la classe
pour le cours suivant.

2. Pairwork
Le Pairwork (Workbook, p. 22, activité I) permettra aux élèves d’identifier les informations
devant figurer dans une biographie et de travailler les questions qui s’y rapportent : When was
he / she born? When did he / she die? What is / was he / she famous for? Il est nécessaire
que la classe ait bien compris au préalable les règles d’un travail en binôme : le français
est à proscrire et il faut écouter son / sa camarade en lui demandant de répéter si besoin.
Plusieurs schémas d’organisation sont possibles : partager la classe en groupes de 2 (un
élève A, un élève B) ou en 2 groupes (l’équipe A et l’équipe B). Laisser les élèves travailler
en autonomie environ 5 minutes. Le Recap qui permet de clore les échanges individuels et
de recentrer l’attention de la classe peut servir à constituer la trace écrite du cours ou à faire
un travail écrit individuel.

3. Writing a book cover

> Mise en œuvre possible
k En préparation à cette activité, on pourra utiliser le texte à trous du Workbook (p. 22,
activité II, exercice 1).
k Le professeur pourra ensuite demander aux élèves de s’appuyer sur les exercices 2
et 3 du Workbook (p. 23), qui leur fourniront des amorces et des aides à la prise de parole
en continu.
k La rédaction de la quatrième de couverture pourra se faire individuellement ou en
groupe, en classe, à la maison ou en salle multimédia où l’on pourra réaliser une véritable
mise en page.

et / ou en interaction ;
– compétences linguistiques : s’entraîner à repérer les éléments accentués de la chaîne
parlée ainsi que s’approprier des schémas intonatifs et accentuels.

1. Get ready
> Mise en œuvre possible
k On pourra commencer par exploiter l’illustration en renvoyant les élèves à la p. 280
de leur manuel (paragraphe : « Plans et angles »).
Productions possibles : This photo looks intriguing. It takes time to realize it is a low-angle
shot. It is taken in a glacier, in the middle of a crevasse, people are climbing up a cliff, we
can see shoes with crampons, the climbers in the background are holding ice axes. It must
be very dangerous, these people are reckless, daredevils. It requires a lot of skill / courage /
determination to go up this wall of ice. It must be thrilling / exhilarating / scary / a fantastic
experience.
k On écoutera ensuite l’enregistrement du poème en entier (CD classe n° 1, piste 20). Le
professeur pourra demander de repérer les mots clés. Les élèves trouveront assez facilement
champion, winner, hero, spirit, life mais aussi peut-être challenge, optimist, game.
k Avec une classe faible, l’enseignant peut concevoir une étape préliminaire d’anticipation :
il fournira les transcriptions phonétiques des mots à repérer, en y glissant des intrus
(pessimist, live, willing, shampoo…) pour guider le travail de repérage lors de l’écoute.

3. Recap
Pour le récapitulatif on demandera aux élèves de s’appuyer sur les amorces de la p. 44
du manuel et sur l’exercice Action! p. 24 du Workbook. Ces réponses pourront donner lieu
à un travail individuel, en binômes ou en groupes, être préparées en classe ou à la maison.
La prise de parole en continu d’un élève ou d’un rapporteur sera suivie d’une reprise de la
classe.
a. Productions possibles : Anybody can be a hero provided he / she is ready to get involved,
be committed, to fight to achieve his / her goals. Heroes are not necessarily famous people,
they can be ordinary, average citizens who resist, try to overcome difficulties.
The qualities needed are optimism, energy, willpower. Heroes need to be determined, strong-
willed, wilful, resolute, defiant, strong-minded. Fighting against pressure entails / implies /
requires a lot of moral courage. A hero is someone who wants to win life’s battles and who
has enough courage to face any challenges and hardships, such as illness, suffering, personal
problems, unhappy love stories or failures... He or she embodies courage, determination,
positive thinking, energy, which means a hero must be brave, strong-willed, active... He /
She can’t be complaining all the time, asking others for help, or waiting for better times. He /
She has to face the problems of life and find solutions. It’s a person who is never grumpy or
sad; on the contrary he / she is always optimistic and creative. Besides, Mattie thinks a hero
doesn’t act alone because human beings are members of a group; your actions can help
others. Therefore solidarity, friendship and mutual aid are important values.
b. Pour faciliter la recherche d’idées on pourra poser une question-relais : “Can you think
of ordinary heroes?”
Productions possibles : Firefighters, policemen, doctors, nurses are ordinary heroes because
they are able to sacrifice their own safety and sometimes even their lives. Firefighters can be
admired for their courage, generosity and sense of sacrifice. They are as courageous as French
Doctors or people working for relief organizations.
c. Productions possibles : Mattie has become a hero because this young boy had a tragic
fate, he fought against his disease very courageously. He wrote poems that are worth reading
and learning, because he is the living example of an ordinary hero, he embodies all the qualities
he praises. He has become a role model for many American teenagers. He never gave up and
fought till the end.
d. Les structures se rapportant à likes et dislikes seront rebrassées ici. Réponse libre.
e. Réponse libre.

 4. Speak up
> Mise en œuvre possible
k Il est vivement conseillé de faire lire le poème à haute voix ; cet exercice est un bon
entraînement à la prise de parole car il permet aux élèves de prendre conscience de la
mélodie de la langue anglaise et de mettre en place plusieurs phénomènes phonologiques.
k La lecture oralisée peut se faire en alternant à chaque vers une voix de fille et une voix
de garçon. On peut imaginer d’autres organisations (un élève dit un vers, son voisin le suivant,
et ainsi de suite, de la façon le plus naturelle possible).
k Le poème peut aussi être appris par cœur et récité en classe.

> Mises en œuvre possibles
➼ PREMIÈRE VARIANTE

À la maison ou en classe, faire lire le texte en entier.

– Dans le cadre d’une classe fragile, on pourra avoir recours à la fiche d’entraînement du
Workbook p. 25-26.
– Si la classe est solide, les questions du livre pourront servir de guidelines dans la recherche
des informations essentielles.
– Dans le cadre d’une pédagogie différenciée, les élèves les plus fragiles pourront se servir
de la grille du Workbook, les plus solides uniquement des questions du manuel.

➼ DEUXIÈME VARIANTE

– Diviser la classe en 3 groupes, avec un rapporteur pour chaque groupe. Le groupe A lira le
premier paragraphe, le groupe B le paragraphe Heroic Rescue, et le groupe C le paragraphe
Rewards for Bravery. Chaque groupe traitera la partie correspondante du Workbook.
– Lors du Recap, toute la classe devra écouter avec attention les rapporteurs des autres
groupes et prendre des notes. Bien sûr les autres membres de l’équipe peuvent intervenir
à tout moment pour aider le rapporteur et compléter son compte rendu. L’histoire pourra
ainsi être résumée à la chaîne.
– L’illustration du texte pourra servir de prise de parole en continu en début de cours suivant.
L’élève devra commenter la photo et réutiliser ce qui a été dit au cours précédent.

– 1: He jumped off the platform. 2: He rolled with the victim between the tracks.
3: He protected the victim with his body. 4: He didn’t move while five cars passed.
c. – Michael Bloomberg: New York City Mayor • Donald Trump: businessman
– $10,000 from Donald Trump • $5,000 from the New York Film Academy • a trip to
Disney World • one year of free subway rides
– Subway superhero • real-life Superman • an angel • a great man
Productions possibles (Recap) : The hero happened to be in the subway waiting for a train
when he saw a young man fall onto the tracks as a train was entering the station. The victim
was a young man called Hollopeter, a 20-year-old student who nearly died. Autrey, an army
veteran, certainly a very fit man, jumped onto the track in-between the rails and used his
body to protect the young man. As he stepped back onto the platform he became an instant
hero and received many rewards, such as the city bronze medallion and thousands of dollars.
But most amazingly, Autrey declared he is not a hero, just a plain citizen who acted without
thinking twice.

4. GORILLAS IN THE MIST MANUEL k P. 46

1. Get ready
> Mise en œuvre
a. k Le professeur pourra demander aux élèves de faire une recherche préalable sur Dian
Fossey et de présenter ces informations lors d’une prise de parole en continu en début
de séance.
k Sinon, l’enseignant procédera à une anticipation sur les gorilles ; il notera au tableau
Gorillas? et demandera à la classe ce qu’elle sait.
Productions possibles : They are big monkeys living in Africa. I think they are an endangered
species. They live in groups or communities with one male leader. They are wild and fearless.
Males usually bang their chests with their fists to deter enemies from approching the group.
k Ensuite le professeur pourra se servir de l’encadré jaune en haut de la page du manuel.
Nous suggérons d’en faire une copie sur transparent ou de noter ces informations au
tableau afin que la classe se concentre sur les gorilles avant de s’intéresser à Dian Fossey.
Le professeur demandera aux élèves de le lire en silence en mémorisant le maximum
d’informations. Puis l’enseignant cachera l’encadré ou fera fermer le manuel. Il pourra
noter au tableau des amorces du type : Gorillas are / do… because / which means / so…
Compared to human beings, they… Les élèves diront ce dont ils se souviennent.
k L’anticipation sur les gorilles avec l’encadré jaune en haut de la page du manuel peut aussi
se faire en binômes ou en groupes. Seule une partie de la classe a accès aux informations sur
les gorilles. Le reste de la classe doit préparer des questions pour le premier groupe. Suivant
les compétences de la classe, le professeur pourrait envisager deux types d’amorces :
– Groupe assez autonome : food? lifespan? size? weight (kg)? protection status?
– Groupe plus fragile : What food ... eat? How long ... live? How tall ...? How heavy ...?
.... protected?
Les élèves procéderont à une récapitulation en groupes.
Productions possibles : They are omnivorous, which means they eat anything from meat to
plants, either fish or berries. They can live up to 35 years which is longer than cats and dogs.
What is amazing is their size; they can be up to 1.8m standing which is as tall as a grown-up
man, but they weigh from 135 to 220kgs, so much heavier than us. Sadly they are greatly
endangered, hunted down for their meat, their heads and hands which are collected as
trophees. They also suffer from deforestation which destroys their habitat.

72 • UNIT 4
 Informations complémentaires
Mountain gorillas are found in the Virunga volcanic mountains of Central Africa (south-west
Uganda, north-west Rwanda, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda’s Bwindi
Impenetrable Forest). They are threatened by poaching, loss of habitat, and disease.
– Poaching: They have been killed for their heads, hands, and feet, which are sold to
collectors. Infants are sold to zoos, researchers, and people who want them as pets.
Poaching for meat is particularly threatening in regions of political unrest. Most of them
live in areas of war and political unrest in central Africa.
– Habitat loss: The forests where mountain gorillas live are surrounded by rapidly
increasing human settlement. The resulting deforestation limits the gorillas’ territory.
– Disease: Humans and gorillas are genetically quite similar, so gorillas are vulnerable to
many of the same diseases as humans. Groups visited by tourists have the greatest risk.

b. On demandera ensuite à la classe de réagir à la photo. On peut, par exemple, écrire au

tableau Who? Where? How many? Attitude?
Productions possibles : I can see a woman surrounded by a group of gorillas who seem to
be friendly enough. Dian Fossey was probably a photographer, an animal rights fighter, an
earthkeeper. She worked in Africa, in the forest. I think she became friends with a group of
gorillas. She doesn’t seem to be scared or threatened by them.

2. More about Dian Fossey

Quant au texte, on demandera à la classe de le lire et de retrouver l’ordre chronologique
de la biographie en s’appuyant sur les dates, les connecteurs logiques, les marqueurs de
temps et la ponctuation (voir corrigé de la fiche du Workbook, page suivante, exercice I).

II. Hello everybody, it’s nice to see you, it’s been quite a while… Guess what I’ve just watched.
Right, I’ve seen the most fascinating story about gorillas. There was this woman, Dian
Fossey, who devoted her whole life to these massive monkeys. After college she went to
Rwanda and Zaire, and spent months in the jungle making friends with them. She learnt a
lot, and did her best to protect them from poachers. She was first-rate, the bravest woman
I’ve ever heard of! Of course many people opposed her work and she was threatened many
times. Poor woman, she died because of her work! Right, she was murdered in Rwanda and
nobody was arrested for it. She’s one of the heroes of the twentieth century because now
gorillas are protected, and everybody knows about her fight. Come on guys, let’s rent the
film Gorillas in the Mist for tonight. It’s going to be great, we’ll have fun and learn something
at the same time. And why don’t we adopt a gorilla? It would help raise money and we
would do something concrete to save these animals. Don’t you think it’s a good idea?

5. OVER OCEANS AND MOUNTAIN TOPS MANUEL k P. 47

Productions possibles : Sir Edmund Hillary was a famous New Zealander, or a Kiwi, if you
prefer. He became famous in 1953 when he reached the top of Mount Everest / because he
was the first man to reach the top of Mount Everest. It was a tremendous achievement / a huge
victory because people had tried and failed again and again. He used his international fame
to help the people of Nepal get a better life. He was so generous that he gave / he devoted
much of his time and money to building schools, hospitals and roads. Yet he was a very humble
man who enjoyed beekeeping and regarded himself as an ordinary person even though he had
become the most famous mountaineer of the 20th century.

➼ Part 1
Journalist: Good afternoon Susie, welcome. I’ve heard you intend to be in one of the next
expeditions to Mount Everest.
Susie: Yes, we’ll be going next Spring... climbing the North-East ridge.
J: ... And this is for charity!
S: Indeed, we will be raising money for Cancer Link.
➼ Part 2
J: How, well, why did you become a climber, a mountaineer? Why Mount Everest which is
a legend?
S: When I was little, I read a book about Sir Edmund Hillary and he’s been my hero ever
since. I remember watching an interview in which he recalled his boyhood: As a child he
dreamed a lot and read a lot of books about adventure. Then he became a competent
mountaineer and went off to the Himalayas, doing a lot of climbing.

4 HEROES

J: Apparently he also joined expeditions to the Antarctic.

S: Right, he was a real adventurer, but as he grew older, he devoted much of his life to
helping the Sherpas of Nepal. He was more involved in organizing, raising funds or leading
expeditions... He became less active, less sporty maybe.
➼ Part 3
J: But he got more and more interested in humanitarian causes, didn’t he?
S: Oh definitely! He built up very close friendships with the people of the Himalayas.
Through his efforts, schools, bridges, roads and hospitals were built. At the end of his life,
he became more and more worried about the huge number of tourists who leave tons of
rubbish behind. He also became very much involved in environmental matters. So, his
major interests were then in people and in the environment. He is an inspiration to me
because he was an explorer who fulfilled his dream and took risks to achieve his goals.
J: Thank you, that was fascinating.

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 30)

1. This $5 New Zealander bank note is very colourful! I like it because it is quite unusual, I can
see Sir Edmund Hillary in the middle. He is quite young. He is smiling. It represents him when
he was a mountaineer at the summit of his fame. Indeed, Mount Everest is in the background.
So they have selected the Everest conqueror as a popular icon for their 5$ banknote.
2. Edmund Hillary was born in 1919 in New Zealand. He died in 2008. He is a real hero because
he was the first to climb the Everest peak in 1953. He succeeded where so many other
trained athletes had failed. He certainly overcame many hardships to get there. In his old
age, his interests became both humanitarian causes and the protection of the environment,
especially in Nepal.
3. Therefore he became a symbol for New Zealand and is a national and international hero.
He is greatly admired for his victory and numerous climbing successes and for his humble
temperament. Indeed he thought he was no hero, just a normal Mr Everybody led by
determination and generosity. He embodies the true hero, generous at heart, with no
self-pride who devotes his life to others / who turns his personal success into a means to
help other human beings. He thought anyone can become a hero if he or she is generous,
determined and humble.

Productions possibles :
a. A Long Way Gone is an autobiography written by young Ishmael Beah. It is definitely a true
and sad story. He was just 12 years old when war started in Sierra Leone and his whole family
was slaughtered. He was an orphan who lost all his family in the war. He explains he was
forced / drafted into the army to survive, to get food and clothes and to defend himself. Like
many other children he felt vulnerable / desperate / miserable. He couldn’t fend for himself.
He was not self-sufficient and he depended entirely on adults. As he says, “the need to be
safe and to be part of something” explains why he felt hopeless / helpless / defenceless /
weak. That’s the reason why the army gave him a sense of belonging. He was also eager to
take his revenge and strike back. Like 300,000 other child soldiers he was made to kill and
torture. He was mistreated / ill-treated / brutalised. Adults drugged him to prevent him from
rebelling or running away. When children are drafted into the army, they are compelled to
do the most dangerous jobs. Children were manipulated, brainwashed and had to endure a
terrible ordeal.
b. When eventually he escaped he became a spokesperson for ill-treated and defenceless
children enrolled into armies all over the world. He feels it is his duty to defend their rights /
speak out for children. His aim is to put an end to the use of child soldiers / to the exploitation
of children in conflicts. A huge number of children are involved in wars. It is a widespread
phenomenon, a global problem, that’s why he spoke before the United Nations. The exploitation
of children should be banned and the law should be enforced. Children should be protected and
prevented from being involved in conflicts all over the world.

3. Margaret Brown became famous as one of the lucky survivors of the Titanic tragedy and
was then nicknamed “The Unsinkable Molly”. She was born in Missouri in 1867. Later she
moved to Colorado where she met her husband James who worked for the silver mines.
He struck it immensely rich and the family went to live in Denver. Molly travelled around
the world. She was on her way home on the transatlantic liner Titanic when the ship hit an
iceberg and sank. During the disaster she helped victims and everybody acclaimed her
heroism. Back home she gave money to poor immigrants who were on board. She was
an incredible woman who spoke her mind and joined many causes such as the rights of
women or the education of all children.
4. Terry Fox was both a Canadian humanitarian, an athlete and a cancer activist, certainly one
of Canada’s greatest heroes. He was born on July 28, 1958 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and spent
his childhood near Vancouver. Unfortunately he discovered he had bone cancer in 1977,

82 • UNIT 4
 when he was only 19 years old. He had to have his right leg cut off above the knee. He was
such a brave young man that in hospital, he decided to run across Canada and raise money
for cancer research. He called his long journey “the Marathon of Hope”. He wanted to get
attention and collect money. He actually managed to raise $1 from each Canadian citizen.
It took him 18 months, 5,000 kilometers (3,107 miles) to prepare his long race. Eventually,
on April 12, 1980, he left from St John’s, Newfoundland and managed to run 42 kilometers
(26 miles) every day through Quebec and Ontario. He stopped running on September 1,
1980 after 143 days and 5,373 kilometers (3,339 miles). Terry Fox died on June 28, 1981.
In 2005, he was the first Canadian to be portrayed on coins and the Terry Fox dollar was
issued to honour this great hero’s memory. Today, the Terry Fox Run is organized around
the world every year in order to raise money for cancer research.

4 HEROES

> Script de l’enregistrement

Sebastian Clover sailed across the Atlantic solo when he was only 15 years old, in 2003.
He is the hero I have selected because he was the youngest person to cross the ocean
alone and that’s terrific, isn’t it? He left Tenerife and reached Antigua 24 days later. He
recalled his most fantastic moments were when he saw dolphins and whales swimming
near his little boat. Wow! But he also remembered that worst day when the weather was
bad and his mast nearly broke; he spent 20 long and anxious hours repairing. Gosh, that
must have been awful! During the whole crossing, he would dream of sleeping in a real bed
and eating a lot of chocolate, so would I! I definitely admire him because I love sailing and
I know how difficult and dangerous this sport is. I think he was both courageous and strong
to succeed in this awesome experience!

 Nous avons souhaité parler de New York, car c’est un lieu d’échanges, à la fois sociaux et
culturels, par excellence. C’est en outre une ville extrêmement moderne pourtant marquée du
sceau du passé. Ses monuments emblématiques ainsi que bien sûr Ellis Island et les différentes
vagues d’immigration qui s’y sont succédé permettent d’aborder le passé et par là le thème de
la mémoire. Le titre même de l’unité s’est imposé comme un clin d’œil à l’ouvrage homonyme
de Paul Auster, paru en 1985, qui constitue le premier volet de The New York Trilogy.

Anticipation
On pourra procéder à un brainstorming sur New York de différentes manières.
k Noter « New York » au tableau et demander aux élèves de réagir.
Productions possibles : Although New York is one of the most famous cities in the United
States, it is not the capital. The capital is Washington D.C. New York is famous for its world-
famous monuments such as the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building... New York is also
well-known because of the terrorist attacks which occurred on September 11th, 2001. The Twin
Towers collapsed when two planes crashed into them, killing thousands of people. New York is
well-known because of its big financial district with Wall Street and the Stock Exchange.
k Ajouter « City » à « New York » et demander aux élèves de réagir.
Productions possibles : We say New York City because New York is located in the state of
New York. Its capital is Albany.
Demander aux élèves de situer cet État ainsi que la ville d’Albany sur la carte des États-Unis
dans leur manuel (rabat arrière).
k Montrer (au rétroprojecteur par exemple ou avec la caméra de table du labo multimédia)
une carte de New York avec les cinq boroughs afin que les élèves identifient Brooklyn, le
Bronx, le Queens, Staten Island et qu’ils visualisent que Manhattan est une île. Voici deux

at her lovingly and she is staring back. He doesn’t look dangerous / harmful and she doesn’t look

II. ➼ RECAP 1 AND 2
a) In 1930, the chairman of the car company General Motors hired an architect, William
Lamb, to design the world’s tallest building. It was nicknamed “the Empire State Building”
and had the shape of a sharpened pencil.
b) It should have be nicknamed “the Empty State Building” because many offices were
unoccupied when it opened.
➼ RECAP 3
One day, a bomber crashed into the Empire State Building and unfortunately 14 people were
killed in the accident. It’s unbelievable that the elevator operator survived after the elevator
fell 300 meters.
➼ RECAP 4
King Kong and Alain Robert have one thing in common: They have both climbed up the
building to reach the top using only their hands and feet, with no nets and no safety devices.
Unlike Alain Robert, King Kong is a fictitious character; Alain Robert is a real man!

➼ Part 1
What do a giant gorilla and a strapping Frenchman have in common? You can think of your
guess while I tell you a little bit about the Empire State Building. Listen and learn more about
the Empire State. Named for the state of New York, which is known as the Empire State,
this 443 metre high skyscraper is the tallest building in the city, the second tallest in the
United States after Chicago Sears Tower and the ninth tallest in the world. Back in 1930 the
chairman of General Motors Corporation hired architect William Lamb to design the world’s
tallest building and Lamb based his design on the simple shape of a sharpened pencil.
➼ Part 2
On May 1st, 1931, the Empire State Building opened for business. For years, the Observation
Deck brought in more money than the office space though. Some people joked that it should
be called the “Empty State Building” because so many offices were unoccupied. The spire at
the top of the building was designed so that Zeppelins might dock there but because of windy
conditions, this idea was abandoned. The top of the building is sometimes covered in fog!
➼ Part 3
And in 1945 a World War II B25 bomber actually crashed into the 79th floor, killing all three
crew members and eleven office workers. At that moment an elevator operator named Betty
Lou Oliver was on the 80th floor. Her elevator fell 300 metres while she was still inside!
Miraculously she survived and set a world record that still stands today. The building survived
too and was opened for business the following Monday.
➼ Part 4
Have you guessed what the gorilla and the Frenchman have in common? Well… they both
climbed the exterior of the Empire State Building and reached the top using nothing more
than their hands and feet. The gorilla King Kong was pure Hollywood fantasy; the second
though, the Frenchman, was a real person and an urban climber named Alain Spiderman
Robert. In 1994 the Frenchman, without warning, started to climb on street level and
reached the top without the use of any nets or safety devices.
➼ Part 5
When you visit this Art Déco beauty there are two much safer ways to reach the Observation
Deck which is on the 86th floor. If you are feeling athletic you can jog up 1,576 steps. Many
people actually do this during the annual run up race. Can you believe the fastest time for this
climb is just under 10 minutes! But if you are like me you can choose one of the 73 elevators
instead. However you get there, the view from this famous observation platform is spectacular,
day or night. At night you might notice the coloured lights at the top of the building which are
often a special colour to celebrate a holiday or other notable events. And of course the lights
are red, white and blue on July 4th.

13. They had to be examined by doctors.
1) They could be sent to the hospital to be held for treatment and possible deportation.
2) They could be free to go.

II. ➼ RECAP 1
Millions of people arrived at Ellis Island because they wished to achieve their American
Dream. On the one hand, some of them managed to have their dream come true. On the
other hand, for others, this dream remained unfulfilled.

➼ RECAP 2
Ellis Island sometimes represented disappointment because immigrants were confined there
and eventually deported. They were forbidden to enter the United States where they hoped to
start a new life. On the contrary, for sixty years, the Statue of Liberty has symbolized the hope
for freedom and a better life. Even if they were confined on Ellis Island, the immigrants still
considered the Statue of Liberty the embodiment of the American Dream.

➼ RECAP 3
Before, Ellis Island was an immigrant processing centre where people were examined by
doctors. They were either sent to hospital or sent back home when they were not allowed
to enter the USA. Nowadays, Ellis Island is a museum.

N. B. : les productions des élèves liées au Action! du Workbook constitueront la trace écrite

Informations complémentaires
If the immigrant’s problem was curable, immigrants were sent to the island’s hospital. If it
was not, the steamship company that brought them would have to pay to send them back.
Those who were ill, too old, weak or unable to read in any language were sent back to Europe.
In 1911, for example, approximately two percent of those who came were deported. In a few
cases, families were even split up, hence the nickname: the “Isle of Tears”. Families were torn
apart / broken up / separated.

➼ Part 1
For most of the millions who arrived at Ellis Island, the dream of a new life in America
eventually came true. For some however, that dream was doomed to remain only a dream.
➼ Part 2
M. A. (inaudible) takes us to a place of disappointment within sight of a towering symbol of
hope. She appears like a recurring thought, suddenly, unexpectedly, the embodiment of the
American Dream, so tantalizingly close and yet so far away for those who were confined here.

 ➼ Part 3
She beckons the tired, the poor, the huddled masses of the world and for more than sixty
years beginning in 1892 they spilled onto the docks of Ellis Island, twelve million of them all
together. Once in 1907 more than eleven thousand arrived in one day.
➼ Part 4
The immigrants climbed the steep stairs into the Great Hall. Doctors examined them and
decided who was free to go and who was sent to the south side of the island to the hospital
to be held for treatment and possible deportation. Off-limit to the public, it is this extraordinary
place we would like to show you. Ellis Island finally closed in 1954. The immigrant processing
centre was restored and is now a museum.

➼ PARAGRAPHS B, C
The Statue of Liberty first symbolized freedom and many immigrants fled persecutions.
They also expected a better future and the Statue of Liberty represented numerous
opportunities. They could start a new life and give a better education to their children.
If some diseases were suspected after the first examination, the immigrants received a chalk
mark and had to go through further inspection and undergo a thorough medical exam.

➼ PARAGRAPH E
American authorities feared the newly-arrived could contaminate American citizens. They
were afraid of contagious diseases and infections. That’s why they decided to have some
immigrants detained, to separate them from the others to receive a specific treatment
which may enable them to be cured and enter the States.

➼ PARAGRAPH F
To my mind / To me, they were treated like cattle. I don’t think they deserved such inhuman
treatment. It’s really disturbing. I don’t see why they should be treated so badly / why
everything (money, past life...) should be checked so precisely.
I don’t agree with you, I can understand why they were treated this way because too many
immigrants wished to enter the States. The authorities tried to check as many details as
possible to avoid problems.

Informations complémentaires
k Legal inspection
A legal inspector had about two minutes to ask you a series of twenty-nine questions. Here
are some of them:
– What’s your name?
– Where do you come from?
– Why did you come here?
– How much money do you have? Where did you get it? Let me see it.
– Do you have any friends here? Any relatives? Anybody to sponsor you, to come out here
and take care of you?
– Are you an anarchist?
– Who paid for your passage?
– Did you have a contract in Europe to work in America?
k The Great Hall known as the Main Registry Hall
Once on Ellis Island, the immigrants climbed the stairs to the Great Hall for medical and legal
examinations. Doctors stood at the top of the stairs and watched the new arrivals for signs
of illness as they climbed the staircase leading to the Great Hall, where they would face a
barrage of questions and examinations. Doctors processed immigrants by the thousands.
They checked immigrants without their knowing, they tracked down diseases, because the
state feared they might be a burden on the economy and would bring in diseases, illiteracy,
radical ideas. They also wanted to select the strongest and the fittest workers. The US
needed a strong and healthy labour force. At that time this hall was covered by a network of
metal railings: Bars divided the floor area into alleys and passageways. And the immigrants
would have to stand there holding their children and their luggage and move down from one
medical examination to the next. The Great Hall was the large waiting room of Ellis Island.

UNIT 5 • 99
UNIT
5 CITY OF GLASS

Immigrants waited here for their interviews with legal inspectors after finishing their medical
exams. It was inhumane.
k The voyage
The passengers that had to come to Ellis travelled in steerage, that is to say the bottom part
of the steamship that is underneath the waterline. There were no windows, no ventilation,
the ceiling was very low (5 or 6 feet high), the passengers slept on triple bunk beds. And
the largest steamships could hold 1,500 to 2,000 passengers. Third-class passengers were
packed / crammed in steerage. It was an ordeal because the boat was overcrowded. They
travelled in appalling / dreadful / awful conditions. They could catch contagious diseases.
It took them two weeks to get to New York City.

Productions possibles : The immigrants are having their first glimpse of the Statue of
Liberty. They can be seen from behind. A small child is pointing at the Statue of Liberty in
the background. They are turning their backs to Europe and the old world. They are looking
forward to the future, to starting a new life in America. The young boy stands for the future
generations who will have a higher standard of living, better prospects. His parents may flee
poverty, may emigrate for economic, religious or political reasons. The Statue of Liberty
represents a shelter for the oppressed. These immigrants have not been to Ellis Island yet.

2. Recap
Productions possibles :
Text A: In this passage / excerpt a mother and her child may be looking at Central Park
through a window in a building nearby. It is the beginning of winter because the mother says
that it is “the first snow of the season”. Also, the tall trees have lost their leaves and yet what
is described is both colourful and beautiful. There are a lot of people who are busy in the park:
taxi drivers, skaters, cyclists and children who are visiting the zoo. The narrator, who is the
child, seems to enjoy the view and to be fascinated by what he / she sees.
Text B: The narrator is a young child of an immigrant. He / She is poor / poverty-stricken /
destitute. For him / her, New York is a “foreign city” because he / she doesn’t live in Manhattan;
he / she lives in a ghetto far from the skyscrapers / cut off from the city. He / She feels
excluded / rejected: “We were the end of the line.” He / She feels he / she is an outsider, he /
she is on the fringe of society. He / She belongs to the world of the have-nots, the underdogs who
are excluded from the consumer society, a world of wealth / affluence. The city attracts him /
her like a magnet. Skyscrapers fascinate him / her because they symbolize wealth and power.
He / She is probably envious of the life people live in Manhattan. He / She probably wishes he /
she could integrate into this society but he / she feels like a foreigner. He / She knows he /
she doesn’t belong in the city. He / She is aware of the gap between wealthy people and poor
immigrants. He / She is also aware that he / she is at the bottom of the social ladder.
Text C: According to this text, the New York subway is terrifying and scary because it is easy
to lose one’s way and being lost in New York City is a serious problem. It’s a grim vision of
the subway and urban life. People seem to be lonely and we feel pity for them. We can easily
understand why some of them prefer to take the bus because it is less frightening even if it is
not as cheap and as fast. This text gives a depressing, gloomy, scary and frightening image of
the subway.

3. Observe and speak

Productions possibles :
Picture 1: We are immediately struck by the woman in the centre of this painting. She looks
scared, worried, bewildered, miserable, desperate, gloomy, downhearted and dejected.
Behind her, there are two men (who may be following her). On the right, there is a turnpike
and the ceiling is very low, the scene may take place in a subway corridor. On the left, there
are men who seem to be phoning or hiding. All the people seem to be trapped in a prison-like
world, in a soulless landscape. They all look like ghosts. The world they live in is dehumanized,
cold and grey. Commuters seem to be isolated / lonely. They live in a world of concrete,
ugliness and solitude, in a narrow and monotonous world. All the commuters look alike, they
are wearing the same brown raincoat and carrying the same case. They seem to be lost in a
maze, trapped / imprisoned like rats in a cage. This painting is scary and oppressive; it gives
a depressing view of the New York City subway. It corresponds to text C.

102 • UNIT 5
Picture 2: This photo was taken in Central Park; indeed, in the background, I can see some
buildings. In the foreground, some people are ice-skating. It is sunny although it is winter. The
trees have almost lost their leaves. It seems to be a lot of fun, I would like to go there. This
photograph converys a very positive vision of the city. It corresponds to text A.
Picture 3: This is a photo in black and white. It was taken in New York City, in Manhattan, as
in the middle, there’s the Empire State Building. This photo wasn’t taken recently because
there are no other skyscrapers on the photo whereas, on the map, the Empire State Building is
surrounded by other buildings. In the foreground there is a little girl who is peeping / peeking
through a hole between two boards. Maybe she lives in a ghetto, in Harlem and she isn’t
allowed to go to the other neighbourhood in Manhattan. She may feel excluded and lonely. She
seems tiny compared to the skyscraper in front of her. The wooden board symbolizes the social
divide / gap between the haves and the have-nots. It may also symbolize segregation which was
abolished in the sixties. This photo is very geometrical and doesn’t give a very positive image of
the city. It corresponds to text B.

1. It was a heart-rending decision to make, but on December 10, 1859, Luigi decided to leave.
He couldn’t possibly go on living this way. With no regular job, it had become very difficult to
pay for the children’s studies. His wife, though heartbroken and moved, tried not to show her
sorrow and helped him to pack. Luigi was stressed and scared but he had made up his mind
even though he was sure to miss his family.
2. For two weeks he had been on board a ship as a steerage passenger in unhealthy living
conditions. Finally Luigi reached freedom in the harbour of this beautiful, gigantic city. He
was really excited when he made out the shore from the deck.
3. Luigi first felt confused, lost and lonely. How would he manage to look for a job and
accommodation in this city where he knew no one?
4. And yet on the following day, he found a job in a factory on an assembly line. Even if
the environment was bleak, Luigi was no longer desperate. He would be able to survive and
help his family.
5. Luigi had found lodgings in a cramped, messy garret. Because he was sleepless he could
not help staring at the picture frame with the photo of his family. And of course he felt lonely,
nostalgic and homesick.
6. After a few weeks, Luigi was proud and glad to send the first bills / banknotes to his
relatives. He had eventually become the breadwinner now. He knew it was his duty to
support his family. He was the only one who could possibly give them money. So he only
kept a very small amount of his wages to pay his rent and his food.

will be rescued only if a hero(ine) is courageous enough to risk his / her life to organize help!

6 WILD WILD WEST

Wild Wild West

Souhaitant aborder les fondements historiques des États-Unis, nous avons choisi de nous
focaliser sur le périple de Lewis et Clark, qui constitue un point clé dans l’émergence et
la constitution du pays. Ces deux personnages permettent d’aborder quelques aspects
primordiaux de la civilisation américaine : la notion de Frontière et son influence sur les
mentalités, les relations entre « l’homme blanc » et les Indiens ainsi que le rôle joué par
les minorités religieuses, comme les Mormons par exemple. Enfin, cette unité permettra
bien évidemment de (re)voir quelques notions géographiques de base. Le titre de l’unité,
homonyme du film de Barry Sonnenfeld sorti en 1999, se veut évidemment humoristique.

k Le professeur commencera par faire localiser les États de l’Ouest américain. Les élèves
pourront se référer à la carte des États-Unis sur le rabat arrière du manuel. Ils devront
faire la différence entre West, South-West, the Great Plains et the Middle West. Ce sera
aussi le moment de faire repérer the Rocky Mountains, the Cascade Range et Mount Rainier
(4 390 m).
k Après avoir rappelé le vocabulaire nécessaire : car plate / car number / number plate
(GB) / license plate (US), le professeur demandera ensuite aux élèves s’ils ont déjà vu
des plaques minéralogiques américaines et ce qu’elles ont de particulier. Ils répondront

110 • UNIT 6
probablement qu’y figurent le nom de l’État, et une image symbolique de celui-ci (ainsi, un
cow-boy orne fréquemment les plaques du Texas, du Nevada, Rodeo State, et du Wyoming),
ou un paysage caractéristique de la région, comme Crater Lake pour l’Oregon ou le Mont
Rushmore pour le Dakota du Sud.
➼ VARIANTE 1 : PRISE DE PAROLE EN CONTINU AVEC PRISE DE NOTES
– Après l’observation et la mémorisation des éléments clés de la page, un élève peut décrire
dans les grandes lignes l’une de ces plaques ; son voisin, ou les élèves de son groupe, ont
leurs livres fermés et doivent deviner de quel État il s’agit.
– On pourra lancer une recherche Internet sur les différents États mentionnés p. 72, leur
devise, leur symbole :
www.50states.com/
www.globalcomputing.com/states.html
Productions possibles :
– Arizona: This plate is beautiful and makes me think of the desert because I can see a cactus
in the bottom left-hand corner and several little cacti in the background. There’s a yellow glow
over the mountain range. This probably shows a typical dry landscape in the South-West of the
USA where the sun is burning hot. In fact most of the state is desert.
– Washington: I can tell this state is by the ocean; indeed the plate is all blue and there is a
whale jumping out of the water. Indeed whales are swimming not far from the shores in Seattle
bay. The motto says “Endangered Wildlife” certainly because people try to protect them.
– Colorado: The plate is blue (for the sky) and white. There is a big mountain range covered
in snow. It must be the Rocky Mountains / Rockies. Right in the centre there is the American
national emblem: the bald eagle with spread wings.
N. B. : l’aigle mérite à lui seul une recherche.
The eagle represents freedom. It became the national emblem in 1782 when the great seal
of the USA was adopted. It shows an eagle bearing / with a shield on its breast. In his right
talon he is holding an olive branch, in his left a bundle of arrows, and in his beak he is carrying
a scroll inscribed with the motto: E pluribus Unum. The olive branch and arrows denote the
power of peace and war which is exclusively vested in Congress (compare this to the phrase
common today: “war and peace”). The thirteen arrows tightly aligned are a symbol of strength
in unity. An accurate translation of the motto is: “Out of many, one”.
– Idaho: This plate is less colourful than the others; it is brown, beige and dark-green. I can
see a man on the left grooming or planting a young tree. The Idaho state tree is the Western
white pine. The man seems to be dressed in a park ranger uniform. In the background there
are fir trees. Indeed forests are the greatest asset of the North-West states and cover 2/3
of Idaho. Lumber is one of its main resources.
– Utah: I love this number plate! There is a stony arch in the middle, on orange sandy ground.
It is characteristic of Arches National Park which preserves over 2,000 natural sandstone
arches, like the world-famous Delicate Arch, as well as many other unusual rock formations.
Delicate Arch has become the state symbol. This rock formation is surprising. I remember
similar landscapes from westerns. The sky is blue and there is either white dust or some
clouds on the skyline. Utah is a desert state and its most famous city, Salt Lake City, was
founded by the Mormons.

1. HOW IT ALL BEGAN MANUEL k P. 73

1. Get ready
Exploitation de l’image : We are immediately struck by the stagecoach and horses galloping
at full speed to escape a group of Indians. This is a typical scene from a western: The Indians
outnumber the Whites. The travellers are besieged by Indians on a dangerous journey. The
Indians use arrows and spears to kill the people in the stagecoach. This painting is striking
because it is full of movement, it conveys an impression of danger and isolation. This scene
is a typical western drama.

Informations complémentaires
In 1966 Norman Rockwell made his only appearance as an actor in a Hollywood movie.
Norman Rockwell played poker player “Busted Flush” in the 1966 remake of John Ford’s
classic hit Stagecoach. Rockwell painted twenty oil portraits, one preliminary and one final,
of each of the movies’ ten stars, as well as this image of the stagecoach on its perilous
journey to Cheyenne. The film relates the story of nine people aboard a stagecoach en route
to Cheyenne, Wyoming, during an Indian uprising. A group of unlikely travelling companions
find themselves on the same stagecoach to Cheyenne.

Productions possibles : The term “Wild West” immediately makes me think of the Conquest
of the West, westerns, Indians and the US cavalry, settlers going west in their waggons, the
Gold Rush and miners hunting for gold, trappers, fur-traders, cowboys and ranchers raising
cattle, Frontier heroes such as David Crockett or Buffalo Bill, sheriffs tracking outlaws, the
massacres of Indians.

k Lecture individuelle en classe ou à la maison.
k Confrontation des résultats par binômes et prise de parole en continu d’un ou plusieurs
rapporteurs.
Productions possibles : President Thomas Jefferson had just bought a huge area of land
west of the Mississippi River. He chose Lewis and Clark to lead the expedition, explore that
area and find the most direct route to the Pacific. He thought it would make it easier to
transport goods from one side of the country to the other. The explorers also had to collect
information about plants, animals, climate and geographical features along the way.

B. The members of the expedition

1. WHO WERE THEY?

> Script de l’enregistrement

➼ Part 1
William Clark once called the expedition a fast enterprise; large, multi-faceted, planned
meticulously, it was the product of many minds, many hands, hopes, dreams and many
ambitions. Its planning reflected the restless intellect of President Thomas Jefferson, his
cabinet and some of the best scientific minds of the day. Once launched, the enterprise
depended on the sweat and toil of roughly 50 people, including one African American,
several men of both European and Native American descent and eventually one Native
American woman and her infant son.
➼ Part 2
Lewis was just 29 years old, Clark 33, both single. Like the men they recruited, they were
brave, resourceful and tough. They were both army veterans, skilled hunters, experienced
backwards travellers and they were smart. Each, in his own way, possessed an avid
curiosity, a hunger for knowledge, a doggedness about chasing down the facts. They were
also funny, bawdy, psychological, fond of satire and occasional sarcasm. They must have
been good company.
➼ Part 3
Lewis had more formal education both in childhood and as President Jefferson’s personal
secretary. Thanks to Jefferson he had training in a variety of scientific disciplines. He was
also a confident, practical doctor and understood the medicinal quality of plants. Clark was
the cartographer, the map-maker, the better boatman and apparently the more consistent
journalist. He had the more level head, the sunnier temperament and he led a longer,
happier life.

tribe from the Plains. 2 She was eventually sold to be married to a French Canadian fur
trapper. 3 She accompanied him on the Lewis and Clark expedition. She helped the Corps
of Discovery through unknown areas, especially the Rockies. 4 She was considered a
valuable help in the expedition. She was a guide, a translator, and negotiator for them
because she knew the land, the languages, customs and tribes. She was largely responsible
for the success of the whole expedition.

Si la synthèse est faite à l’écrit, le professeur pourra fournir aux élèves un transparent qui
sera (rétro)projeté et l’on corrigera collectivement. Cette synthèse pourra servir de base à
une trace écrite.
Corrigés du manuel :
a. Recap: Part 1
– The first explorers were Lewis and Clark and their party.
– The Indians were friendly, peaceful and welcoming. They were faithful friends, kept their
promises and thought the Whites were trustworthy. We can imagine they were curious and
eager to meet the newcomers.
– The turning point in their relationship happened when gold prospectors arrived, invaded the
territory and scanned the area to find gold. Their greed for more land had no limit and they drove
the Indians away from their territory.
– The Indians tried to remain peaceful at all costs accepting any sacrifice imposed on them.
They desperately tried to keep their promise because they were as good as their word.
Besides they feared the Whites might retaliate if the Indians became violent. They did their
best to avoid war. But they were deceived, deluded.
b. Recap: Part 2
– The Indians have just been defeated and have surrendered in the Bear Paw Mountains after a
last fight. Now their situation is appalling because they have been driven out of their lands. They
are needy / in dire straits. We can presume another truce was broken, driving the Indians into
battle. Unfortunately the Nez Perce are left starving and freezing to death. They are destitute
and the white man feels no compassion.
– Of course Chief Joseph feels betrayed, desperate, cheated, sick at heart and hopeless. He
can’t trust the white men any longer and knows his tribe is doomed. He has given up the struggle.
This is a very emotional speech meant to arouse sympathy and compassion. He focuses on the
fate of little children who live in dreadful conditions.
– Consequently he has decided to give up his lands and surrender / yield to the white man’s
power. He has to stop fighting and accept his enemy’s decision, come what may.
– We can draw a parallel between this sad testimony and the photo of the Nez Perce leader.
Indeed his sad and hopeless expression matches his words. This is a real photo of an Indian chief.
He has got earrings and necklaces, probably to show his high rank in the tribe. What strikes me
most is his sad expression. He looks both tired and desperate, sad / unhappy and hopeless.
c. Recap: Part 3
– At that time the Indians were considered second-class citizens, “savages” who had fewer,
limited rights. There was this saying often heard in old western movies: “The only good Indian
is a dead Indian”, this excused any violence or murder.
– Chief Joseph dreams of being treated on an equal footing, of being given the same rights as
white men. He resents the white men’s attitude. Chief Joseph’s main claims are for justice and
equality for both Whites and Native Americans. He asks for legitimate dignity and respect. He
wishes the men of his tribe could be regarded as equals and could live in harmony with Nature
and other human beings. The loss of land entails the loss of religious and cultural values.

Exploitation de la gravure p. 76 :

On peut aussi décider de (rétro)projeter la gravure et de fabriquer des caches qui serviront à
isoler des parties de l’image. On pourra ainsi guider l’observation de la classe. On montrera :
1) un groupe d’Indiens, 2) la moitié gauche du document, 3) le cavalier sur le cheval blanc,
4) le tableau en entier.
Productions possibles : This painting shows a group of people plodding through the snow.
Their march seems to be difficult because they are struggling through bad weather. A strong
wind is blowing in their faces and slowing them down. Even the horses are bending their heads.
The people at the front are Indians / Native Americans wearing leather clothes.
I think it shows a tribe moving away, with children and baggage in a cart. They are followed /
guarded by soldiers on horseback, dressed in blue and black uniforms. There is a long line of
soldiers and Indians. This could be a picture of an Indian deportation into a reservation. They
had to leave their lands for the white men and stay in restricted zones. It reminds us of the Trail
of Tears. American troops forced hundreds of Cherokee Indians to leave their homes in Georgia
and move to the “Indian Territory” of Oklahoma. In 1838, about 7,000 American troops moved
in and began the forced removal. Many Native Americans suffered from exposure, disease,
and starvation while en route to their destinations. The journey was hard, and many Cherokee
suffered or even died, for example 4,000 of the 15,000 relocated Cherokee. Many cried. That’s
why this journey is called the “Trail of Tears”.

3. Writing workshop
Cette production écrite se fera soit en classe soit à la maison, et soit individuellement soit
par équipe de deux rédacteurs.
k Faire ressortir les grandes parties de l’article à écrire, par exemple : Chief Joseph’s
identity – the Nez Perce tribe’s location in the US – meeting Lewis and Clark – gold
prospectors – fights and surrenders – cold, hunger, starvation – visit to Washington D.C.,
1879.
k Ramasser les articles pour les faire lire au reste de la classe. On peut imaginer soit de
redistribuer les articles en désordre à chacun, soit de les afficher, soit encore de former
des groupes de lecteurs (4 à 5 élèves) qui auront en charge de sélectionner le ou les deux
meilleurs articles. Chaque groupe ira voir un autre groupe et ensemble ils affineront leur
sélection pour qu’en fin de course il ne reste que deux ou trois favoris.
k Au rétroprojecteur, l’enseignant pourra faire une correction linguistique ciblée d’articles
sélectionnés.
k Tous les articles pourront aussi être évalués.

1) Avec une classe assez solide
k En classe entière, on procédera au choix des temps (prétérit et past perfect) ainsi qu’à
la mobilisation des connaissances, du lexique et des structures nécessaires, notamment
les marqueurs de temps :
– In Spring / Summer / Autumn (the Fall) / Winter / the 19th century / those days...
– One day...
– A few years later...
– After a while... (Au bout d’un moment)

k Faire écrire l’article individuellement ou en équipe de deux. Cette étape pourra se faire
en classe, à la maison ou en salle informatique.
k Ramasser les articles pour les faire lire au reste de la classe. On peut imaginer soit de
redistribuer les articles en désordre à chacun, soit de les afficher, soit encore de former
des groupes de lecteurs (4 à 5 élèves) qui auront en charge de sélectionner le ou les deux
meilleurs articles. Chaque groupe ira voir un autre groupe et ensemble ils affineront leur
sélection pour qu’en fin de course il ne reste que deux ou trois favoris.
k Au rétroprojecteur, l’enseignant pourra faire une correction linguistique ciblée d’articles
sélectionnés.

2) Avec une classe fragile

k En préalable à l’activité, le professeur demandera aux élèves d’observer les quatre
images de leur manuel en silence ou les (rétro)projettera dans l’ordre. Pour commencer,
on demandera ce que ces images évoquent. Elles doivent faire écho aux textes lus
précédemment. On acceptera de simples éléments ou des phrases courtes. Puis on pourra
enrichir l’expression pour la trace écrite en réactivant le lexique vu. On peut organiser le
travail sur les images de façon classique (toute la classe intervenant dans la description),
ou en groupes. Le professeur divisera la classe en 4 et chaque quart devra présenter un
tableau au reste de la classe.
Productions possibles :
1. I think this shows Lewis and Clark’s arrival somewhere along the Missouri or Platte River. The
Whites are dressed as Europeans with broad-rimmed hats, long jackets, whereas the group of
Native Americans have animal pelts / skins. The two groups are facing one another but they
don’t seem to be hostile. This makes me think of Chief Joseph’s text, at the beginning when he
mentions...
2. This must be a party of gold prospectors. Indeed the man in the middle is panning gold in a
river. He looks like a ruffian, he hasn’t shaved for months. He looks very determined as well.
He is not alone; there are other gold prospectors in the river, all deep in the water, concentrated
on their findings. Beyond them, there are rough settlements on both banks of the river. We have
learnt that prospectors cut deep into Indian lands disregarding treaties and laws to find the
precious nuggets.

124 • UNIT 6
 3. I can see a group of riders galloping in a desert. They look like regular cavalry soldiers of
the US army. They may be charging a group of enemies. Some have guns or rifles ready for
the shoot. It may show a battle scene during the Indian Wars.
4. This painting is quite spooky. There is a person on horseback, but I can’t tell if it’s a man or
a woman, but he or she looks tired and miserable. He or she belongs to a group of travelling /
fleeing people. On another horse there is a bag or a cover and a skinny dog is following. They
look cold to death walking on white ground, probably snow. This could be a group of Indians
going to a new reservation, leaving behind their homes and favourite hunting grounds.
k On passera ensuite à la rédaction de l’article proprement dite. Cet entraînement à
l’expression écrite sera à faire en devoir à la maison, en s’inspirant des images travaillées,
ou en classe. On renverra aux conseils p. 80 et 260-261 du manuel quant à l’usage
des temps du récit. Comme l’article est un récit à la première personne, il semble important
que les élèves incluent des sentiments, des émotions, des impressions.

UNIT
6 WILD WILD WEST

Ces trois formes sont au prétérit :

– affirmation = suffixe -ed ajouté au verbe régulier, ou verbe irrégulier ;
– négation et interrogation = did + base verbale.
b. – Verbes réguliers = learned (learn), started (start), travelled (travel), died (die).
– Verbes irréguliers = heard (hear), was (be), could (can), were (be), made (make), took
(take).
Concluez : pour une narration de faits passés, révolus on utilise le prétérit.
Le prétérit simple sert à parler d’événements situés dans le passé et il exprime une rupture
avec le présent.
3. a. Ces expressions sont des marqueurs de durée associés au prétérit.
b. – Les pionniers vécurent dans un chariot bâché pendant six mois.
– Dans les grandes plaines ils marchaient pendant des jours sans voir aucun arbre ou
aucune forêt.

b.

Passé 2 Passé 1 = At the end of the day Moment présent

(had) milked
(had) fetched

c. avaient trait, étaient allés chercher, avaient ramassé
Concluez : le past perfect permet de parler d’événements antérieurs à un autre événement ex-
primé au prétérit. Il exprime donc un « retour en arrière » par rapport à un moment du passé.

> Practice
1. a. How long was the journey to Oregon?
b. What was the best time of the year to start the trip?
c. Why did some people want to travel all the way to Oregon?
d. What happened if you met Indians on the way?
e. How did the Indians make buffalo meat last a long time?
2. The US government encouraged people to settle in Oregon. Half a million people crossed
the Rocky Mountains, deserts and rivers to settle there. They had to leave the Mississippi
River in spring to arrive before the first snows. Approximately twenty thousand people died
along the way. They endured extreme weather, illness, and attacks by Native Americans.
The construction of the railroad brought an end to the waggon trains.
3. I’d like to tell you about Crazy Horse who was both a visionary Indian / Sioux chief and a
brilliant leader. He was considered a brave warrior by his tribe and a man of supreme courage
by his enemies. He devoted his whole life to fighting for freedom and defending the values
and traditions of the Lakota tribe. He was born in 1849, and was known to have stolen horses
from other tribes before the age of 13, which shows what a daredevil he was. From 1865 to
1868 he started fighting against white settlers in Wyoming because they were trespassing
on the tribe’s land. The major event of these years of battle was in 1867 when his warriors
destroyed W.J. Fetterman’s brigade at Fort Phil Kearny. Of course he became a real hero
when he led the charge against / attacked troops led by the famous General Custer in 1873.

126 • UNIT 6
 Crazy Horse became the leader of the Indian resistance and worked on an alliance with
another Indian tribe, the Cheyenne in, 1876. Together they triumphed at Little Bighorn on June
17, 1876 which ended up with the destruction of Custer’s Seventh Cavalry eight days later
and with the General’s death. Unfortunately he could not win, but he was the last important
chief to surrender on May 6, 1877. In September 1877, he was arrested by General George
Crook. But he did not accept his fate easily and struggled / fought against the guards on the
way to jail. As a consequence, a soldier stabbed him in the back.
4. a. When the expedition was over, they had walked / covered 3,700 miles.
b. They had discovered 122 animals and 178 plants unknown at that time.
c. They had explored a huge territory and made detailed maps.
d. Jefferson was thrilled because they had fulfilled all the goals he had set for them.

1. React to this picture (questions a. et b.)

Productions possibles :
– The scene is set in a kitchen. A young woman is leaning on a kitchen counter, doing nothing.
She is idle, resting / having a rest. She stares at something we cannot see. Her eyes are blank.
She looks bored. She doesn’t seem interested in doing the housework. In the background we
can see a sink and cupboards which are spick-and-span. Everything is sparkling in this kitchen,
thanks to the robots. It’s state of the art equipment.
– The robots are doing all the household chores / the housework. Some of them are dusting,
some are washing up / doing the dishes, some are cleaning / wiping the cupboards with a
sponge. One is hoovering the floor, one is watering the plant and a pair of robots is sweeping the
floor collecting the dirt with a dustpan. One robot plays the part of a maid because he is waiting
on the woman / is bringing her a drink on a tray. The robots look like toys and astronauts. They
seem to be wearing a space suit. They look modern.

2. Give your opinion (question c.)

Productions possibles : These robots are useful for busy people because they are labour-
saving / time-saving. They alleviate our workload. They make housework less tedious. People
can relax. They do not waste time on dull, uninteresting tasks. When people are overwhelmed
with work, they do not have to worry about cleaning the house. Robots are more reliable than
human beings and some housekeepers, because they are programmed to do the work and are
never ill, they never complain.
I think this scene is a dream. It’s quite unrealistic. These robots may exist one day / in a near
future but they may be too expensive. Only big firms may be able to buy these robots, not a
family.
I think this photo is quite humorous because one robot should be sufficient to do all the chores.
There’s no need to have all these robots!
Name: House fairies
Catchphrase: I need somebody’s help!

– Helen Greiner
– Science-fiction
b. – Genghis, Ariel, My Real Baby, the Pyramid Rover
– Mars, underwater, Egypt (the Great Pyramid)
– 2002
– Genghis is used to work on / explore Mars. Ariel is used to detect mines underwater. My
Real Baby is a doll. The Pyramid Rover was used to climb the Great Pyramid and to enter a
chamber no one had ever opened.
c. – vacuum / hoover, wash floors, clean gutters
– “Three million” refers to the number of robots called Roomba that are used in American
homes and “40” refers to the percentage of revenue of the firm that comes from defense
contracts signed with the army.
d. The journalist is referring to robots that will be created in the future.
e. – Greiner wants to help the disabled and the elderly / old people (remind them to take their
medication, help find their glasses, check to see if they’re okay).
– The family will worry less because robots will take care of the ill or old person.

2. Go further
Productions possibles :
a. Hoovering and washing are dull activities. They can be tiring for old people. Cleaning gutters
may be a dirty job. Detecting mines and opening a new chamber in a pyramid or exploring Mars
can be dangerous. Helping to find glasses is a dull activity but it’s not tiring. Reminding someone
to take medication is neither tiring nor dangerous nor dirty but it can be boring sometimes.
Checking on someone’s health is reassuring.
b. The scientists will use Genghis and the Pyramid Rover. The military will use Ariel. Everybody can
use Roomba, Scooba and Looj and My Real Baby. Specific robots will be used by the elderly and
the disabled.

k On pourra procéder à une anticipation grâce à une approche morcelée.
– On (rétro)projettera le cartoon en dissimulant le robot et la légende et en demandant aux
élèves de réagir (on écrira au tableau who? ou tout autre déclencheur de parole : Whom do
you expect...).
Productions possibles : It’s a big firm / corporation. There should be a receptionist. We
should see a woman because most of the time women are hired as receptionists in firms.
I expect to see a secretary. The secretary is the person who welcomes / greets the people
who want to meet the boss / the manager. She can be in an office next to her manager’s
office. The receptionist tells the manager that the client he is working with has arrived for the
appointment.
– On révélera ensuite le cartoon dans son intégralité et on demandera aux élèves de réagir.
Productions possibles : I expected a woman as a receptionist but I can see a robot instead.
The human secretary has been replaced by a robot. That’s weird! I was surprised to see a
robot because a machine has no soul and I don’t think a machine could be good at social
contact, or replace human beings.
I was sure it was something unusual because the two characters in the background look
puzzled.
k On pourra également analyser le document dans son entier et faire travailler les questions
du Observe and speak individuellement ou en binômes avant de demander une prise de parole
devant la classe pour rendre compte du document.

1. Observe and speak

Productions possibles :
a. The scene takes place in an office or maybe in a hall, at the entrance of a firm.
b. The presence of a robot strikes me because it is unexpected and unusual. I expected to see a
real person especially since being a receptionist implies having social contacts.
c. The robot doesn’t look like a human being at all because he has wires on his head. He looks like
a human being because he has a big smile. He looks friendly and his wires look like curly hair.
d. The boss may be speaking. He says he tried to hire humans but they were unpleasant. They
didn’t respect the clients, they were rude to them so he decided to fire them. And instead of

132 • UNIT 7
 hiring humans, he decided to hire robots because they were nicer than human beings, well-
behaved, welcoming, friendly, polite. They were not grumpy.
e. The two characters in the background may be spying on the robot (the new receptionist).
They must be curious to see how he deals with the job. They may be jealous because he
was hired for the job and not them. They may be envious bcause the robot’s job is not as
exhausting as theirs.
One of the two characters may be the person speaking, the boss. He’s checking to see if
everything is all right with this new, unusual clerk. He wants to see if the robot is doing well / if
he has no problems / if he is nice enough. He wants to be sure he has made the right decision/
choice.

2. Go further
On incitera les élèves à échanger leurs opinions et leurs réactions sur le message du dessin
humoristique au cours d’une discussion. Pour évaluer leurs camarades, les élèves pourront
s’appuyer sur la fiche concernant la prise de parole en interaction p. 181 du manuel.
Ces questions pourront donner lieu à un travail individuel, en binômes ou en groupes si la
classe le permet.
Il faut insister pour que les élèves expriment une opinion personnelle (cela leur permettra
de rebrasser les structures de l’opinion, en gras ci-dessous).
Productions possibles :
a. In my view the cartoonist may want to denounce the predominant role played by robots in
our society. Working conditions are getting tougher and tougher, I mean, if people are not
competitive enough, robots replace them on the spot. Robots can work long hours without
complaining, without asking for a salary or a rise. Robots are submissive and never rebel
against any decision. In other words, they are obedient, contrary to some people who go on
strike and have many demands, always ask for more.
I don’t agree with you. I feel the cartoonist wants to warn workers against the dangers of
becoming too demanding. By requiring rises, fewer working hours, ideal working conditions,
they may choose to follow a dangerous path. Bosses may want to get rid of them and to use
robots instead, because robots are submissive, obedient and they never complain.
In my opinion, the cartoonist just wants to emphasize the fast development of new technology.
To me, the cartoonist wants to say that managers want to replace men by robots because
they do not have to pay them. So it is a way of saving money.
To sum up, I’d say the cartoonist foresees hardships for workers who can easily be
dismissed / be made redundant. He seems to say that the future in store for workers is
rather dark / gloomy. Unskilled, illiterate people will be laid off. Although the cartoon is
humorous, it is not very optimistic / it’s pessimistic for human beings.
b. I cannot deny that robots’ presence is more and more prevailing in industry but I don’t
understand why the cartoonist shows us a robot as a clerk. I really think it’s science-fiction:
Robots are mainly used to accomplish dull / boring, dangerous, tiring and dirty tasks. As far as
interesting jobs are concerned, I don’t think that they will be able to replace men. In other words,
I know it is impossible to see robots make decisions, initiate awareness campaigns, have social
relationships, invent up-to-date products, negotiate with people, plan long-term projects as they
cannot think. All the jobs requiring psychology cannot be carried out by robots. Do you see what
I mean? To me a human brain cannot be replaced so easily. To sum up I’d say I can’t imagine

UNIT 7 • 133
UNIT
7 ROBOT DREAMS

robots as a threat. Robots are only an empty shell. They have no soul, no feelings, no thoughts.
They only represent helping hands for humans.
I don’t believe they can reach independence, autonomy yet.
I disagree with you. I don’t see why they shouldn’t replace men in the near future, as long as
a scientist discovers a programme that enables robots to adapt to different situations.
Don’t you think that it’s not so easy?

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 54)

I. Observe and speak
The scene is set in an office and I’m immediately struck by the presence of a robot
working as a receptionist / clerk. The robot replaces a human being. Indeed it has
wires on its head. It looks happy and friendly. The two characters at the door seem to
spy on the robot. They may want to have the robot’s job. The caption suggests a robot is
replacing human beings because the machine does a better job than them, so they may
be envious / jealous / scared too.
II. Go further
1. The cartoonist seems to foresee a dark future and wants to warn workers about the
dangers of hiring robots. Managers will get rid of / fire / dismiss men and will use
machines instead, because they are convinced they won’t rebel against them. Contrary
to workers who are disobedient, machines are obedient, they never complain so the
companies will hire them.

2. I find this cartoon worrying and shocking because it shows that human beings can be victims
of unemployment because they can be replaced by robots / they have defects. I don’t think it
is science-fiction because robots are more and more elaborate / sophisticated. I understand
why robots could be used by managers instead of men because robots never rebel against
them. They don’t think that working conditions are painful or difficult!
I find this cartoon amusing because I know it is impossible to replace men, as robots cannot
be creative. I think it is science-fiction because robots cannot plan a project.
I don’t find this cartoon amusing. I find it scary.

3. Feel and touch

> Script de l’enregistrement
➼ Part 1
Jason: Hello everybody! Welcome to your favourite programme “Into the Future”. I’m Jason
McKinley live from London where an exhibition about robots is taking place. Today I’m
interviewing Robin Duffle, the famous scientist about the latest discoveries in robotics.
➼ Part 2
Jason: Hello Mrs Duffle. Tell me more about this project you’ve been working on for several
years now. Are robots becoming more and more humanlike? I’ve been told a robot called
Marvel has a sense of touch just like ours.
Mrs Duffle: As you may know, today’s robots still have trouble doing very simple things such
as tying shoelaces or grabbing small objects. In fact they are as clumsy as a six-year-old, just
because their sense of touch is not good enough. That’s why we’ve decided to give Marvel a
chance.
Jason: That sounds interesting! What have you done?
➼ Part 3
Mrs Duffle: We have created an artificial surface that looks like skin to improve Marvel’s
sense of touch. This skin is thin enough to wrap around the robot’s fingers. Once its hands
are covered in the new material, Marvel can detect pressure and temperature, and he will
be able to take on complicated jobs.
Jason: Can’t believe it!
Mrs Duffle: Well there’s a chance the new skin will be better than human skin because
it may be able to detect if the environment is light or dark or if it’s noisy. This may really
improve how robots work in the real world.
Jason: Unbelievable! That was worth listening to. Thanks for everything Mrs Duffle. See you
tomorrow for a new visit to Robotland with a new guest.

➼ RECAP PART 1 (INTRODUCTION)
The two people are Jason McKinley, a journalist and Robin Duffle, a famous scientist.
They are at the London Robot Exhibition about robots. Jason McKinley is interviewing
Robin Duffle about her latest discoveries in the programme Into the Future.

➼ RECAP PART 2 (COMPARISON)

Today’s robots.
Some can be compared to humans / human beings because they have a sense of touch
which is equivalent to a human sense of touch.
Robin Duffle has been working on this project for several years.
She and other scientists have created a robot called Marvel.

➼ RECAP PART 3 (REAL PROGRESS)

If the robots’ hands / fingers are wrapped / covered with an artificial surface / a new
material / a thin skin, the robots will be able to detect pressure and temperature.
Finally they will be able to take on complicated jobs.
It’s a possible improvement because this thin skin may be better than human skin.
They will soon be able to detect if the environment is light or dark or if it’s noisy.
Consequently their work will be improved in the real world.

1. Observe and speak

Productions possibles :
a. I am struck by the huge robot. He looks like a giant and he looks powerful. He is oversized
and compared to him, the human that he is holding in his hand is belittled / tiny. He looks
defenceless / weak / powerless. The man looks like a puppet in his hand.
b. To me the robot has just wounded / killed the man, because I can see blood on the man’s
clothes. He may have been the robot’s master / owner. However I don’t know how he killed
him. He may have held him too tight. He might / must have taken power over his master and
he may have decided to get rid of him. It may have been an accident.
It seems to me he has tears in his eyes. He seems upset / bewildered at what he has done.
In my opinion, he hasn’t killed the man on purpose. However he feels responsible for the
crime he has committed. He seems to feel guilty. The robot is really humanized.
I don’t see it that way. I don’t think he has killed this man. He is upset because he has found a
dead body (the man may have been someone he knew) but he doesn’t know who the murderer
is. He is so upset that he is on the verge of crying.
c. The cartoonist used a low-angle shot so that the robot looks very impressive, powerful and
scary. The viewer feels threatened too.
d. This illustration reminds me of King Kong. A parallel can be drawn between King Kong (the huge
gorilla) and this robot. He also held a tiny, defenseless human being in his hand. He was also
humanized because he had fallen in love with this young, beautiful woman and because this love
was impossible. Only humans can experience love, and only humans can be murderers.
The artist also expresses here our fear of machines, of the future. He hints at the fact that
human values may be threatened by progress and technological advances. He may want to
defend man against technology. Machines may take over from us / take our place.

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 56-57)

a. The two documents deal with the relationships between robots and human beings.
In the cartoon men hire robots and use them as machines to do the harassing, boring
work. Robots are submissive / obedient and never rebel because they have no feelings /
conscience.
In the illustration, the robot has taken power over from men. On the one hand, the robot is
scary because he is huge and powerful. That’s why he could kill a man, so he is dangerous.
The man in the robot’s hand seems defenceless and can be compared to a puppet.
On the other hand, we realize the robot is humanized in the illustration, because he has
tears in his eyes and feels upset about what he has done. He probably feels guilty too.
b. Productions possibles :
In both documents we can see disturbing / frightening visions of the relationships
between robots and human beings.
The most striking document is the second one because the robot has taken power over
men and the consequences are terrible for men.
The most striking document is the first one because although it is humorous, the cartoonist
conveys a threatening message to men who could be fired because robots could easily
replace them.
The message conveyed in these documents is unrealistic / incredible / unconvincing /
threatening.
Currently robots are not elaborate, so there’s no need to worry.
The message conveyed in these documents is puzzling. It made me think of the important
part played by robots in our society.

firemen in the fight against fire. It will help save human lives.

a. The characters present in the scene are Dr Susan Calvin, a robotics expert, Linda Rash, a new
employee at US Robots, and Elvex, a robot.

UNIT
7 ROBOT DREAMS

b. – “They” refers to the robots Elvex saw. “Some” refers to a certain category of robots.
– “They are working, Dr Calvin. I see some who are mining in the depths of the earth,
and some who are laboring in heat and radiation. I see some who are laboring in factories
and some who are working undersea.” (l. 6)
c. Dr Calvin asks these two questions.
d. The phrases in bold letters reveal that Elvex is very young (he must have been built recently).
He has little experience of the outside world since he has not left the testing station yet.
That’s why we can conclude that Elvex is clear-sighted. Though he has seen very little, he
knows a lot about his fellow robots. So Elvex must be very careful and observe a lot.
e. – The activities mentioned in the text are mining and laboring in heat and radiation.
– They are working in the depths of the earth, in factories and undersea.
I would say these activities are harassing / tough, dull, dangerous / risky, dirty and boring.
f. The robots are “bowed down with toil and affliction, weary of responsibility and care” and
they need “rest”.

3. Recap
Productions possibles :
a. We learn that Elvex is a newly-built robot because he is only ten days old. He has been
constructed recently and he is very young. Elvex hasn’t left the testing station yet, so some
things in his system can still be fixed. He hasn’t got much experience about life and the
outside world, and yet Elvex knows a lot already, especially about his fellow robots.
b. In Elvex’s dream, robots are working in hostile environments: undersea, in the depths of
the earth. They are doing tough, dangerous, risky jobs such as mining and they are doing
dull tasks because they work in factories. Consequently they are bowed down with toil and
affliction. They labour a lot and feel depressed. They are weary of responsibility and care.
They have a lot of responsibilities and they have much to take care of. No wonder they should
be exhausted. They are hard-working, painstaking so they need to have some rest. The robots
are oppressed and subservient to men.
c. Elvex is a clear-sighted robot who realizes that robots are exploited. That’s why he exposes /
denounces / questions the way robots are treated. He complains about their working conditions.
As he realizes robots must protect their lives, we can say Elvex is caring.
He could become a leader guiding the robots’ rebellion.
d. clear-sighted • denounces / exposes • complains • protect • caring • leader • rebellion
e. Dr Calvin is the expert, so she is responsible for Elvex. She is the one who has to check on Elvex
to see if everything is all right. Therefore she investigates what Linda Rash reported. She wants to
know what Elvex dreamt of exactly. She wants to discover if Elvex is dangerous or not. She asks
questions to see if Elvex knows a lot about the robots’ working conditions. Her questions reveal that
she is clever: She knows how to get the useful information. She is worried / anxious, concerned,
alarmed at hearing Elvex. She fears that sooner or later Elvex may feel superior to human beings.
She feels that Elvex knows too much already and could start a rebellion. She dreads his reaction.
She may decide to destroy Elvex. She may decide to send him to jail. She may change his
programme / system so that he can no longer dream.

4. Creative writing
Les élèves pourront faire cette rédaction à la maison en s’aidant des p. 222-224 de leur

February 25th, 2009
Dear Sir,
I obeyed your orders, I questioned the newly-built robot called Elvex whose registration number
is 226708. He answered all my questions and I’m afraid I must report an alarming problem.
Although Elvex hasn’t left the testing station yet, he seems to be a clear-sighted robot and
knows a lot about the robots’ working conditions. He keeps dreaming about his fellow-robots
labouring in hostile, risky environments. He clearly exposed the robots’ living conditions as
awful.
That’s why I’m really worried about his future reactions. I fear that he may urge the other robots
to rebel against us. He sounded as if he had human feelings because he said the robots needed
rest. I feel he could be a potential leader.
What shall I do? / What do you advise me to do? I think we have to make a quick decision
before it’s too late and we have trouble with him and the other robots.
Dr Calvin

Ils devront faire un compte rendu oral de l’illustration au reste de la classe et écouter ce
que dira l’autre groupe pour voir si leurs hypothèses ont été confirmées et dire pourquoi ils

Productions possibles :
This photo reminds me of the famous fresco painted by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel in
Rome. It represents a biblical scene, God and Adam and their forefingers touching to symbolize
light, the life that God gave to man. God is the creator of mankind. We can draw a parallel
between the fresco and this photo.
The two artificial hands were created by man. But man’s creations might challenge man’s
power one day. Man may be overtaken by his own creations. Robots may feel equal to men
one day.
Elvex may be associated with God, and the other robot is one of the robots who are exploited
by human beings. All the robots may be ready to defy / stand up against / overthrow man.
Men may be enslaved, overwhelmed by robots. The text deals with the showdown / clash
between man and Elvex, the plot between Elvex and the other robots against man.

5. a) Elvex says “Let my people go!”
b) “My people” refers to the robots.
c) « Laissez partir mon peuple ! » « Libérez mon peuple ! »
6. Elvex will play the role of the guide to freedom. If we refer to the Bible, he embodies the
leader / prophet who is going to set his people free. Elvex rebels against oppression and
slavery. He can’t stand / He resents being a slave. He questions man’s authority because
he wants a world of justice and equality for all.
7. Elvex says that he was the man.

N. B. : la rubrique Action! du Workbook p. 58 reprend les questions b. c. et d. du manuel.

Productions possibles :
b. Elvex dreams of changing the world he lives in. He dreams of setting the robots free. He
hopes to abolish slavery. He hopes to put an end to the robots’ exploitation. He wants the
robots to be free. He wishes he could help his fellow robots to be free. He would be a leader.
c. They are discussing if Elvex can challenge / defy / threaten the human race.
Dr Calvin is old and experienced. That’s why she thinks he can become dangerous and
uncontrollable. With the other robots, he could rule over / dominate the world. She fears a
showdown between men and robots in the long term. On the contrary Linda is fascinated /
impressed and is worried about Elvex because it’s a major / an important discovery.
d. In the end, Linda Rash might set Elvex free and hide him so that she can work on his system
and improve his programme to turn him into a real man. Then he would no longer side with
the other robots. Like the other human beings, he would exploit the robots and make them
work for his own profit / benefit.
In the end, Dr Calvin may kill Elvex with her electron gun for fear he may become disobedient
and threaten men’s authority.
k Après que les élèves aient émis des hypothèses sur la fin du texte, on pourra leur fournir
la dernière phrase de l’auteur : “And Susan Calvin at once raised her electron gun and fired,
and Elvex was no more.” On leur demandera alors de réagir librement.

142 • UNIT 7
 Productions possibles :
I can understand her reaction. First she is frightened because she is experienced and responsible
for Elvex so if anything happened she would be considered guilty. Then Elvex can really be
dangerous for human beings because he is very clever and has already understood that robots
are exploited by men and he could lead a rebellion against men.
I don’t agree with you. / I don’t see things that way. I find it awful that she can get rid of Elvex
so easily. I think she should have carried out a more thorough investigation / a more detailed
investigation to understand what had really happened. She should have tried to examine his
system before killing him.

Royaume-Uni et à ses habitants. Parallèlement, nous avons trouvé intéressant de familiariser
les élèves avec d’autres aspects emblématiques de la culture britannique qu’ils ne connaissent
pas forcément, qu’il s’agisse d’œuvres (tableau de Constable, poème de Wordsworth), d’une
région (le Lake District) ou de codes sociaux (table manners, stiff upper lip). L’objectif étant bien
entendu de consolider leurs connaissances du pays.

TUNE IN! MANUEL k P. 102

L’étude de cette page peut se préparer avec l’aide du Workbook, p 59. Au préalable,
le professeur pourra montrer la carte des îles Britanniques disponible sur le rabat avant
du manuel, au cas où les élèves auraient une vision floue de ces notions géographiques.

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 59)

The two islands are called the British Isles. The biggest one is Great Britain. The British Isles
are composed of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
Great Britain includes England, Scotland and Wales.
England is situated in the South East of Great Britain. It is the smallest entity of the British
Isles.
The United Kingdom is composed of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Prolongements possibles :
k Nous engageons vivement les élèves à visiter le site de l’école Woodlands, dans le
Kent, qui propose une mine d’informations (cartes, rappels historiques simples, blasons,
symboles nationaux, historique des devises anglaises, écossaises et galloises, drapeaux…).
Concernant les îles Britanniques, il faut se rendre directement à l’adresse suivante :
www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/questions/britain.html
k Les élèves pourront préparer des mini exposés sur tous ces sujets à partir de recherches
faites à la maison ou en salle informatique.

Informations complémentaires
Il est important que les élèves prennent conscience des différentes entités constituant le
Royaume-Uni pour éviter de froisser les susceptibilités lorsqu’ils se rendront outre-Manche.
Ils devraient ainsi savoir que le nom complet du Royaume-Uni est the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland depuis 1922 (le Pays de Galles fait partie de l’Union depuis
1536, l’Écosse depuis 1707 et l’Irlande depuis 1801). Le drapeau s’appelle d’ailleurs the
Union Jack et est constitué par une superposition des croix de saint Georges, saint Patrick
et saint Andrew, les saints patrons du Pays de Galles, de l’Écosse et de l’Irlande. L’Angleterre
constitue le plus grand pays de l’Union : 130 410 km2 (sur un total de 244 023 km2) et
abrite environ 84 % de la population. Depuis 1707, la capitale du Royaume-Uni est Londres
où siègent la plupart des institutions. L’anglais est la langue commune à tous les habitants,
même si de nombreux habitants parlent écossais ou gallois.

1. The perfect Brit

> Mise en œuvre
k Ce visuel est reproduit sur le transparent n° 7.
k Une fois toutes ces notions géographiques fixées, l’enseignant demandera aux élèves
d’observer attentivement le cartoon, puis de fermer leur manuel et de dire ce dont ils
se souviennent. On pourra noter les questions suivantes au tableau : how many? who?
nationalities? jobs? weather?

152 • UNIT 8
k Pour une classe plus fragile qui aurait des lacunes lexicales, on peut distribuer une fiche
avec différents noms de métier et demander aux élèves de souligner ceux qui apparaissent
sur le dessin. Si nécessaire, on procédera de la même manière pour les adjectifs.
k Après avoir rouvert le manuel, le professeur encouragera les réactions. Il pourra ainsi
demander oralement ou noter au tableau : Right? Wrong? Opinion? Any reaction? On incitera
les élèves à utiliser les adjectifs listés en question b et les expressions du Help!
k Pour une classe en difficulté il faudra, peut-être, passer par une étape lexicale intermédiaire
d’association des adjectifs avec leur contraire (humble ≠ arrogant, generous ≠ stingy…).
Productions possibles :
Different types of Britons are portrayed / caricatured.
– The cartoon says the Royal family is humble. But the drawing represents haughty people.
They seem to be full of themselves / think much of themselves. They don’t look humble at
all: They are not smiling, they are pulling faces, they look bored and aloof. I think they look
haughty / contemptuous / superior / arrogant, posh and snobbish.
– The drawing shows people holding an umbrella because it is raining, yet it says “Welcoming
as the weather”, so it’s quite the opposite. British weather is generally considered awful, rainy
and very wet. “It’s raining cats and dogs” or “It’s pouring” are commonly used.
– It is funny because the cartoon says the perfect Brit should be as polite as a punk, but
punks are not polite at all / anything but polite. They are seen as rude, violent, boisterous
people who can’t behave.
– English food is said to / thought to / believed to be inedible, tasteless; people have no
culinary talents. I’ve heard about / tasted boiled mutton with mint sauce, for example.
– The Union Jack, in the middle, may suggest / imply that people are jingoistic (a jingo is a
person who combines excessive patriotism with contempt for other countries).
– British judges are portrayed as drunkards. We immediately recognize them because they
wear wigs.
– The Horse Guards are never relaxed, they have to keep standing for hours without showing
any emotions or feelings. They are as stiff as wood.
– Scottish people are believed to be misers / tight-fisted people.
– Welsh people are said to speak a dialect, which is very hard to understand, almost
incomprehensible.
To sum up this drawing is humorous / ironic / satirical. It is based on a contrast between
the caption and the drawing. It makes fun of the most famous British clichés / prejudices.

2. Creative writing
> Mise en œuvre
On pourra diviser la classe en deux groupes ou en binômes. Chaque groupe ou élève du
binôme serait chargé de trouver entre 5 et 10 stéréotypes soit sur les Français, soit sur les
Britanniques. Lors de la mise en commun des informations, les groupes décideront de lister
les clichés du plus fréquent au moins répandu, ou du plus farfelu au plus réaliste. Le site de
l’école Woodlands regorge également d’idées sur ces clichés :

anything else in the world.
– They are viewed as heavy beer drinkers.
– Tea with milk is just like water to them.
– Most football fans are hooligans
– They are said to be difficult to get on with
because they can’t communicate with others.
– They are light-skinned and easily sun-burnt.
Yet they love sitting in the sun because they

– The Royals spend fortunes everyday
and have no idea how “normal” people live.
– Food is a sad story, half fast food, half
boiled, tasteless dishes.
– National hobbies are cricket and
gardening.

➼ Part 1
Tania: To me this cartoon is not amusing at all. Well... I mean it is based on stereotypes
only. Well… Let’s take the example of the Queen: She is viewed as arrogant, aloof, unable
to share feelings. And we all know this is not the truth!
➼ Part 2
She has to follow a very strict protocol and cannot behave as she likes. I remember all the
big hype after Princess Diana’s sudden death. All she wanted was to protect the young
princes from the media and she ended up being accused of being too distant! I don’t think
it’s fair! It seems to me this cartoon gives a negative image of British people. Foreign people
are convinced that the Scots are stingy or English cooking is disgusting. I’m fed up with all
these clichés! I didn’t even smile once! It’s a tourist’s vision of Great Britain.
➼ Part 3
Ruth: I don’t agree with you! This cartoon is hilarious. This is how irony works! Caricature is
an essential ingredient to make people laugh! Things have to be exaggerated and provoking
to make people react. And honestly, you can’t deny there are some true aspects in this
cartoon, can you?

154 • UNIT 8
 ➼ Part 4
I mean the royal family are not funny on any level and are a bunch of upper-class snobs.
Besides they live at public expense! Look, I love the rain, but you can’t say we live in a very
sunny country and Welsh is also very difficult to understand... When it comes to being sober,
I think there is still progress to be made! Don’t you think so? What about binge drinking at
weekends? We’ve heard all this many times, but I quite like this tongue-in-cheek message.

➼ RECAP PARTS 1 AND 2
Tania doesn’t find the cartoon amusing because she thinks it is biased. She defends the Queen
because she doesn’t think she is insensitive. She supports the Queen’s attitude after Princess
Diana’s death because all she wanted was to protect the young princes from the media, though
it was interpreted in a negative way. She was said to be distant and aloof. Tania protests against
the vision of Great Britain which is full of clichés, stereotypes and prejudices against British
people. She’s fed up with clichés / stereotyped visions. She concludes by saying that she
doesn’t find it fair!
➼ RECAP PARTS 3 AND 4
Contrary to / Unlike Tania, Ruth thinks / finds that the cartoon is hilarious because it is
exaggerated. Because the cartoon is provocative, she is certain that people will react to it.
In her opinion the aspects viewed in the cartoon are true. She gives several examples which
she considers are not just clichés, such as Welsh as a difficult language, or binge drinking at
weekends. Even if all this has been heard many times, she thinks the tongue-in-cheek message
is effective.

1. NATIONAL SYMBOLS MANUEL k P. 103

1. Get ready
> Mise en œuvre possible
k Le professeur demandera aux élèves de relever dans le texte les noms de nationalité
et leur fera remarquer la présence d’un mot français. Ceci devrait les aider à identifier le
point de vue adopté ici. Ensuite, il fera classer les images associées au mot English en deux
colonnes :

Positive points Negative points

Les élèves réagiront ; il se peut que tous ne connaissent pas la maladie de la vache folle et
que ce ne soit pas un symbole prépondérant à leurs yeux. Il faudra les encourager à trouver
d’autres symboles de l’Angleterre qui leur semblent plus évidents : Big Ben, les taxis londoniens,
Buckingham Palace, par exemple.
k Après avoir lu le texte de Stephen Clarke, l’enseignant pourra diviser la classe en 3 groupes
chargés de trouver d’autres symboles britanniques. Le groupe 1 s’attachera aux lieux et
monuments ; le 2 aux personnes célèbres, réelles ou imaginaires ; le 3 aux objets typiques.
Le travail de recherche peut se faire à la maison. Là encore, le site de l’école Woodlands est
très riche. En classe, après quelques minutes de réflexion, on demandera une récapitulation
collective. Après chaque prise de parole, le reste de la classe réagira et complétera, si
nécessaire.

156 • UNIT 8
 Productions possibles :
a. The point of view given here is a French one. When people think of England, or the UK,
most of them quote the Queen or David Beckham as people who embody the nation.
b. I don’t agree with the narrator because the Rolling Stones are not as famous as the Beatles.
For me, another strong symbol is Big Ben which represents London. What comes to mind first is
a cup of tea with milk.

Places and monuments People Objects

– Big Ben – the Beatles – double-decker buses
– Buckingham Palace – Queen Victoria – London cabs
– Windsor Castle – Oliver Twist – Rolls-Royces
– London Tower – Robin Hood – fish and chips
– Westminster – Sherlock Holmes – London underground
– Oxford & Cambridge – Sean Connery – Christmas pudding
– Stratford – Peter Pan – sheep

Prolongement possible : on peut imaginer une activité de Follow-up où la classe devra

écrire un texte similaire sur les symboles de la France comme la tour Eiffel, Molière,
Amélie Poulain, le vin rouge, la haute couture… et les classer en points positifs ou négatifs.

2. Observe and listen

groupe. À l’intérieur de chaque groupe, les élèves pourront travailler seuls ou en binômes.
Un rapporteur, ou plusieurs, sera / seront désigné(s) et prendra / prendront la parole en
continu. Le reste de la classe prendra des notes et complètera ce qui a été dit.

à faire reconnaître les mots retranscrits en phonétique puis à les faire répéter : \"rIvEr\ •
\fi…ld\ • \strÅN\ • \"mÅnEk\ • \drO…\ • \kA…t\ • \hO…s\ • \"kÅtIdZ\.
Productions possibles :
– The first painting represents a countryside scene. There is a cart drawn by a horse, a river...
all this makes me think of a quiet and peaceful place / of the good old days when there was
no car, no rush, no pollution. It conveys an impression of peace, tradition. It’s picturesque.
Britain is famous for its landscape.
– The second painting is impressive: King Henry VIII is standing proudly in a palace. He looks
authoritative, imposing, stern, domineering, powerful and mighty. I think the painter wanted to
glorify the king and the British monarchy. He was a very strong leader who shaped the history
of his country. The Royals are vivid images of Britain even today.
Informations complémentaires :
k The Hay Wain (conservé à la National Gallery) représente un paysage du Suffolk,
Flatford Mill sur la rivière Stour, cher à John Constable.
k Henry VIII montre le célèbre monarque en costume d’apparat dans le palais de Whitehall.

➼ Part 1
Tania: To me, Henry VIII symbolizes England.
Ruth: What do you mean, this portrait symbolizes England? Come off it! This is just another
cliché about England! Who cares about monarchy nowadays? Tell me... What role does the
monarch play? Honestly... The Prime Minister and the government rule the country, not the
monarch! They make the important decisions, they discuss international problems and so
on with other world leaders. So down with monarchy and its privileges! I tell you what...
I’m glad the monarch has to pay taxes like any other British citizen. And anyway that’s what
they should do: They’re British citizens just like you and me!

Tania: Er... I see your point. Fair enough! Look, Ruth! Look at this painting then... Constable’s
painting. Don’t you think it conveys true English values: simplicity, authenticity, love of Nature...
Ruth: You must be joking! What about London and its modern architecture: the Gherkin,
the Tate Modern? This is twenty-first-century England, not Constable’s painting! Again this
painting is just a stereotype of England; something you can only see on Christmas cards.
I can’t believe it Tania! How can you possibly imagine England like this? Of course rural
England still exists, but I don’t think the countryside best represents modern England.

➼ PART 1
Tania is fed up with the monarchy because she thinks it is old-fashioned. She thinks
monarchs are just puppets because they do not play any significant political role. She
thinks monarchs are useless as far as important political decisions are concerned. Only the
Prime Minister and the government rule the country. The monarchy is just another cliché
about Great Britain. To her, all British citizens should be equally treated. So she finds it fair
that the Queen should pay taxes like any other British citizen.
➼ PART 2
Tania and Ruth are discussing the stereotyped representation of England. They disagree
with each other. Their vision is contradictory. On the one hand, Tania thinks that Constable’s
painting that represents rural England best conveys what England’s values really are:
simplicity, authenticity. On the other hand Ruth thinks that this vision is old-fashioned, that
London architecture is very modern and best represents her country. According to Tania, love
of Nature is an important value. To Ruth it doesn’t represent 21st-century England.

3. Recap
Avant de mettre en place le jeu de rôles, on pourra faire une première synthèse des tableaux.
Productions possibles : The portrait of Henry VIII glorifies England because he represents
England’s power. The portrait shows that England is a domineering nation. The dagger
conveys the idea that England is ready to fight to defend its territory if it is attacked by
enemies. Henri VIII embodies a powerful nation because the King looks impressive and
imposing. The other painting by Constable symbolizes England’s peaceful countryside.
This vision shows that England is a rural country / England before the Industrial Revolution.

Productions possibles : So, ladies and gentlemen, we are now standing in front of Holbein’s
most famous portrait of King Henry VIII, painted in Hampton Court in 1537. The king was at the
height of his power and wanted a representation of his might and power. Yes, I agree with you
Madam, he looks proud! Don’t forget that England was one of the richest and strongest countries
in Europe. Another good question Sir! Indeed he probably wanted to look more powerful than his
rivals Charles Quint and François I. Some say this is the symbol of British monarchy at its height.
I would say this is an old-fashioned picture of a long-gone institution. Nowadays what role does the
monarch really play? Honestly... The Prime Minister and the government rule the country, not the
monarch! They make the important decisions, they discuss international problems and so on with
other world leaders. You may think I am a radical... Let’s move on to this beautiful painting by...

It makes my mouth water. Have a go / a try. No thank you. It tastes sweet / salty / spicy...
k Le professeur notera les meilleures productions au tableau et suggérera des expressions
pour enrichir les phrases.
Productions possibles :
– Picture 1: This photo shows a delicious dessert made of apples and served with either cream,
custard or vanilla ice cream. I wish I could have some today at the canteen, fat chance!
– Picture 2: There are a cup and a tea pot in the photo. It all looks good / scrumptious. You
can serve the drink with a little cake called a scone which is cut in half. People put butter and
raspberry jam on them, and sometimes even cream. It may be very fattening but so yummy!
– Picture 3: This is the traditional British fast food. It is composed of fish in batter and chips.
I have had it before and it is excellent, you’d be surprised.
– Picture 4: This dish is composed of slices of meat with what looks like potatoes or doughnuts.
I think the meat is either beef or pork. It could be a main dish. There are green vegetables as
well, such as peas and broccoli.
– Picture 5: It looks like an Indian dish with an orange creamy sauce and rice. I think it can be
served hot or mild. It looks interesting.
– Picture 6: This looks like a dessert or some ice cream. I think it’s vanilla with strawberry and
cream. I have never tried this before, but I could.
– Picture 7: Traditional English breakfasts are a real meal composed of bacon and eggs,
sometimes baby sausages, mushrooms and baked beans, yuk! You’re not hungry anymore
after that.
– Picture 8: I can see a plate with some cheese and wholemeal bread. Is it a snack? There is
some fruit and salad as well. It looks really good.
k Enfin, le professeur donnera les noms des plats et la classe tentera de les associer aux
images.
1. apple pie 2. cream tea 3. fish and chips 4. roast beef and Yorkshire pudding = roast dinner =
traditional Sunday dish 5. chicken tikka massala (It has become a British national dish.) 6. trifle
7. cooked breakfast 8. ploughman’s lunch

2. SECONDE VARIANTE

Le professeur peut diviser la classe en deux groupes ou en binômes. Le groupe ou l’élève 1

s’occupera des images 1 à 4 et le groupe ou l’élève 2 des images 5 à 8. Les élèves devront
décrire les plats dans le désordre pour que leurs camarades devinent duquel il s’agit. On

Les élèves connaissent-ils la Marmite \"mA…maIt\ ? C’est peu probable, il ne faut donc pas
hésiter à les renvoyer au site. Mais avant, ils peuvent émettre des suppositions en regardant
simplement la photo du manuel. Le professeur pourra utiliser ces prompts, suivant le niveau
de la classe :
– classe faible : I think, I suppose, perhaps, maybe it is, it looks like…
– classe plus solide : It must be, It can’t be, It may / might be...
Il faut encourager les réactions et les commentaires du reste de la classe.
Productions possibles : It could be a sort of spread, maybe some jam, but the colour is
strange though. I don’t know any fruit of that colour.

162 • UNIT 8
 Maybe it is the English Nutella, a kind of chocolate paste.
I don’t agree with you because the name doesn’t refer to anything sweet. Marmite makes me
think of a soup, or a cream for sauces.

Informations complémentaires
Née en 1902, la Marmite est une marque britannique de pâte à tartiner à base de levures,
substances végétales naturelles et très riches en vitamine B1. La Marmite peut se
consommer étalée sur des toasts, ou encore servir de base à des sandwiches. Marmite
est un indénombrable en anglais : I hate / love Marmite.

3. Listen
La compréhension orale se fera à l’aide de la fiche d’entraînement du Workbook, p. 63-64.
La recette évoquée ici est celle du trifle.

> Script de l’enregistrement

Matthew: This recipe is worth it! It serves 6 to 8 people. Well Linda, you’ve prepared all the
ingredients, haven’t you?
Linda: Of course! Everything is ready!
Matthew: Look it’s very easy! First I break the sponge cakes in pieces, like this, so the
pieces aren’t crushed and I spread a little raspberry jam on each piece. Then I put them
into a large glass bowl and sprinkle the raspberries and sherry over them. Linda, would you
mind giving everything a good stir to soak up the sherry?
Linda: No problem Matthew... as long as I find the spoon... Where is it? Ah, here it is!
Matthew: Well done, Linda! How about making the custard now! While you heat half a pint
(that’s 275ml) of double cream in this small saucepan, I blend the egg yolks, sugar and
cornflour together thoroughly in a basin. Linda, when the cream is hot, pour it over the egg
mixture, stirring the whole time. That’s it! Don’t go too fast, don’t slow down so it’s well
blended.
Linda: OK!
Matthew: Now I return the custard to the saucepan and stir over a very low heat until thick.
Then I remove it and allow it to cool. Linda? Could you peel the bananas and slice them
thinly please? Thank you. Sprinkle them in amongst the raspberries. And now look, I pour
the custard over the sponge cakes.
Linda: What about the remaining half pint of cream?
Matthew: I whip it up and spread it over the top. And finally I decorate it with the flaked
almonds. The only thing to do now is cover and chill it for 3 or 4 hours before serving!

Productions possibles : I think I’d love to taste the trifle because I’ve got a sweet tooth and
it’s nearly teatime.
I don’t fancy the roast beef because I’ve heard it is over-cooked in Britain and I love my meat

k On pourra commencer la séance par une anticipation sur les codes sociaux en France.
On demandera aux élèves ce qui est considéré comme poli ou impoli chez nous. Le professeur
pourra noter au tableau comme titre : When in Rome, do as the Romans do, et proposer la liste
suivante :
– saying “tu” to your boss or a person you don’t know well
– speaking with your mouth full of food
– arriving 10 minutes late when you are invited to dinner
– holding the door open for a person following you
– refusing to shake hands when someone new is introduced to you
– speaking of politics with someone you don’t know well
– putting your hands on the table when eating lunch
Avec une classe faible, il est conseillé de guider les élèves pour qu’ils utilisent correctement
les auxiliaires modaux : You should / should not / must / mustn’t / can / can’t…
k Puis l’enseignant demandera à la classe de lire en silence le tableau et de dire ensuite ce
qui convient de faire dans chacune des quatre situations proposées. Les élèves reconnaîtront
certains codes.
Productions possibles :
1. In Britain, when you are waiting for the bus you should stand in line behind the people who
have arrived first, and wait for your turn to get on. It is considered very improper to group in a
circle with your friends and jump on the bus as quickly as possible.
2. When you meet someone for the first time, it is very rude to hug him / her, kiss on the cheeks
or slap him / her on the back to show you are happy to see him / her. Quite the opposite, you are
expected to shake hands only when first introduced and say “hello”, or “good morning” at other
times.

3. When people win a game, they should not boast and look superior. On the contrary, fair
play and modesty are well-regarded. That’s why a good player would say: “I was just lucky,
and my team was helpful.”
4. If you are walking in a corridor, keeping right is a must to avoid blocking the way of people
walking in the other direction. You would never see people walking at random and sliding from
left to right to avoid others in the opposite direction.

➼ RECAP

Productions possibles :
a. They show no signs of weakness. They do not want to reveal that they are panic-stricken,
scared to death, furious or sad. They want to master their emotions and feelings. They only
display self-control. They want to prove to themselves and others that they are courageous
in any circumstances. It’s a way of overcoming weaknesses or emotions.
b. When I’m confronted with a dramatic situation such as an accident, I should try to be
calm and dial 999 so that the person can be rescued as quickly as possible.
When I feel upset because someone has made fun of me, I should try not to show I have
been hurt because there’s no point in being cross with this person. I’d better ignore him /
her in the future.
When I feel frightened because I’m alone, I should try to keep a stiff upper lip to give the
impression that I’m not an easy prey.

Informations complémentaires (photo p. 105)

This black and white photo was taken just after Neville Chamberlain decided to make war
on Germany (September 3, 1939). “Your” is underlined because this poster brings a message
of hope and determination to the nation. The victory depends on people’s resistance to
the enemy, their willpower, and fighting spirit. Cheerfulness reminds us of the expression
“keeping a stiff upper lip”. In times of war, people’s characters will be tested. In spite of
the war, the bombings, the Blitz, people should remain hopeful, optimistic, shouldn’t feel
discouraged. The directions to the nearest shelters can be seen at the bottom of the wall.
It will lead them to Victory, the word Victory is in big capital letters.
The word victory reminds us of the speech by Winston Churchill : “I have nothing to offer but
blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us many long months of struggle and suffering.
You ask what is our policy? I will say it is to wage war by sea, land and air, with all our might,
with all our strength that God can give us. That is our policy. You ask what is our aim? I can
answer in one word: victory. Victory at all costs! Victory in spite of all terror! Victory however
long and hard the road may be.”

4. EXPERIENCE THE LAKE DISTRICT MANUEL k P. 106-107

> Mise en œuvre

Avant même que les élèves ne lisent individuellement le texte, extrait d’un guide touristique,
le professeur annoncera que celui-ci donnera lieu à un quiz.

2. Guessing game
Productions possibles :
It can’t be the first photo because although we see that the mountains are not very high,
the vegetation is dry and it looks like a desert.
It can’t be the second photo because we can see high, snowy peaks in this photo and I don’t
think there is snow in the Lake District.
It must be the third photo because we can see a lake, and the mountains are not very high.
It looks peaceful and I’m sure it’s a nice place to go hiking.

3. Key information
Corrigé :
a. area = 885 square miles • highest peak = 3,210 feet (equivalent in French = 978,40 m) •
number of lakes = 16
b. – On April 15, 1802 Wordsworth and his sister saw beautiful daffodils.
– In 1951 the Lake District National Park was created.
– In 1804 Wordsworth wrote his most famous poem The Daffodils.
c. Hiking and boating (sailing) are mentioned in the text. Tourism is the main economic
activity in the region.
Prolongement possible : une fois ces informations essentielles repérées, un élève pourra
faire une prise de parole en continu et rendre compte de cet extrait de guide touristique.

4. The Daffodils
Productions possibles :
a. The biggest photo, the one on the left, best matches the stanza I’ve just listened to / I’ve
been listening to.
b. The narrator is in the Lake District.
He’s probably gone for a walk in the mountains as lines 1 and 2 suggest “wandered, high o’er
vales and hills”. He’s near a lake and under trees (“beside the lake, beneath the trees”).
It must be Spring because he can see flowers and daffodils grow in April in England.
The narrator feels “lonely” at the beginning of the stanza but after discovering the flowers,
he seems soothed and delighted because the image conveyed by the daffodils is an image
of lightness and cheerfulness and life “fluttering and dancing”.
Prolongement possible : cette strophe pourra être apprise par cœur et récitée en classe.

168 • UNIT 8
 5. Quiz
Pour cette activité on pourra diviser la classe en deux. Les élèves prépareront des questions

5. I DON’T UNDERSTAND! MANUEL k P. 108

> Mise en œuvre

Avant de faire lire le texte, le professeur pourra demander aux élèves ce que le titre du
texte et l’image leur suggèrent. Ils devraient sans difficulté évoquer les difficultés de
compréhension, de communication, notamment entre anglophones et non anglophones.
Exploitation de la photo : An executive wearing a black striped suit is answering the phone.
This man is headless, has no identity. He is a non-person, maybe because he is ruthless,
adamant, has no feelings, no compassion, is cold, aloof, and considers people are at his beck
and call. He uses people like pawns or puppets, people may be revolted by his attitude and
have difficulty communicating with such a boss.

N.B. : les tongue twisters proposés dans l’exercice 2 pourront servir de warm up, de mise
en bouche en début de cours. La pratique des tongue twisters facilite en effet la prise de
parole en continu.

> La détermination du nom : a, the, « l’article zéro » = Ø

1. a. Le premier groupe souligné (tea) renvoie à une généralité et à un indénombrable. Le
deuxième groupe (a national drink) renvoie à un élément parmi d’autres et à un dénombrable.
b. Le groupe souligné (Chips with vinegar) renvoie à un ensemble et à un dénombrable.
c. Le groupe souligné (a bridge) renvoie à un élément parmi d’autres et à un dénombrable.
On emploie a / an pour désigner un élément parmi d’autres.
Pour parler de quelque chose « en général », on emploie l’article zéro (Ø) si le nom est un
dénombrable au pluriel, ou si le nom est un indénombrable au singulier.
2. On emploie a devant les consonnes, sauf « h » non prononcé comme dans hour. (Autres
mots commençant par un h non prononcé : heir, honour, honest et leurs composés.)
Devant unique, on utilise l’article indéfini a, parce que, dans sa forme orale, unique commence
par une consonne (\j\).
Explication plus détaillée : le mot unique se transcrit \ju…"nIk\. Même si \j\ ressemble au son
« i », c’est une consonne, que l’on trouve également au début du mot yes, ou, en français,
au début du mot yeux ou encore dans le mot pied (prononciation différente de celle de
pillé). On a également cette dualité « consonne / voyelle » avec les sons proches du « ou » :
consonne dans won \wØn\ et dans le mot français oui (\wi\), voyelle dans good \gÁd\ et
dans le mot français oubli \Ábli\.
On emploie an devant les autres mots commençant par une voyelle.

UNIT 8 • 171
UNIT
8 TRUE BRITS

Remarque générale sur le choix entre a et an, et sur le choix entre \Di…\ et \DE\ pour the : ce qui
détermine ce choix, c’est la prononciation (la forme orale), et non la forme écrite ; il arrive qu’un
mot commence dans sa forme écrite par une voyelle mais dans sa forme orale par une consonne
(exemples : unique, one k a unique situation, a one-eyed man), et inversement (hour \aÁEr\).
3. Sherlock Holmes est détective.
À la différence du français, on emploie l’article indéfini (a / an) lorsqu’on indique la catégorie
à laquelle appartient quelque chose ou quelqu’un, donc devant les noms de métier.
4. a. Pour les premier et deuxième groupes de mots soulignés (the name + the bell), on emploie
the, car ces mots sont définis par ce qui suit. Pour le troisième groupe de mots soulignés (the
Houses of Parliament), on emploie the, car le mot fait référence à un élément connu de tous.
b. Pour le premier groupe souligné (the chime), on emploie the, car le mot est défini par ce
qui suit. Pour le deuxième groupe de mots soulignés (the sound), on emploie the, car le mot
est défini par le contexte. Pour le troisième groupe de mots soulignés (the New Year), on
emploie the, car le mot fait référence à un élément connu de tous.
c. Pour le premier groupe de mots soulignés (the clock), on emploie the, car le mot est défini par
le contexte. Idem pour le deuxième groupe de mots soulignés (the time).
d. Pour le groupe de mots the Millenium Bridge, on emploie the, car le mot fait référence à

9 DESTINATION LIVERPOOL

Destination Liverpool
Nous avons choisi Liverpool car cette ville est rarement traitée dans les manuels d’anglais.
Or, son patrimoine est extrêmement riche et permet d’aborder différents aspects de l’histoire
et de la culture britanniques : la musique des Beatles, le racisme dans les stades de football,
ou encore le commerce triangulaire des esclaves sur lequel la richesse de Liverpool fut
fondée au XVIIIe siècle.

pourra être projetée (rétroprojecteur ou vidéoprojecteur), corrigée et enrichie collectivement.
Productions possibles : Liverpool was selected to be Capital of Culture 2008 because
this city, located in the north of England, is a major harbour on the Irish Sea and has a rich
historical heritage. It is famous for sports, music, the arts and its maritime life. It was founded
in the 13th century, and has developed economically ever since. Today the city is a favourite
destination and attracts thousands of tourists every year.

3. At the tourist information desk

> Mise en œuvre :
a. On s’assurera que l’ensemble de la classe a repéré le Tourist Information Centre (en bas à
gauche du plan, à côté du numéro 08). Le professeur ou un élève indiquera son emplacement
au reste de la classe. On demandera ensuite d’utiliser la troisième colonne du Help!
k Première variante : avec la classe entière, divisée en deux. Le premier groupe donne
les bonnes directions à l’autre moitié qui suit sur le livre et peut faire répéter et / ou
demander des précisions.
k Deuxième variante : ce travail se fera par binômes. À tour de rôle, un élève indique
l’itinéraire à emprunter tandis que son camarade suit sur son livre jusqu’à parvenir au bon
endroit. On pourra vérifier en faisant passer 4 groupes.
b. Le professeur fera écouter l’enregistrement plusieurs fois en prenant soin de faire les pauses
nécessaires. Sur leur Workbook, les élèves traceront le chemin suivi par les deux touristes.

Clerck: Good morning Sir, what can I do for you?
Tourist 1: Hi! I’m afraid I’ve got lost. I’d like to go to The Cavern Club but I’m not sure about
the way.
Clerck: Alright, we’re here: Maritime Museum and you want to go there: The Cavern Club.
You could walk there, it’s not very far.
Tourist 1: Sure!
Clerck: Actually, if you’re a Beatles fan, you’re not very far from The Beatles Story, it’s really
worth visiting.
Tourist 1: Oh, I’ve been there already.
Tourist 2: Sorry to interrupt, I heard you mention The Beatles Story, am I far from there?
Clerck: Not at all, make a right immediately after leaving the Desk, walk straight ahead and
turn right again into Gower Street.
Tourist 2: Thanks very much.
Clerck: Now, back to you: To go to The Cavern Club, you’ll have to take Hartley Quay, turn
left, then turn right into James Street, that leads to Lord Street, then turn left into North
John Street and on your right is Matthew Street.
Tourist 1: Thank you very much!
Tourist 2: Excuse me. I was thinking about going to St. George’s Hall after The Beatles
Story.
Clerck: Oh, that’s quite a distance! You could take the Merseyrail or a taxi.
Tourist 2: Oh, no, I’d rather walk.
Clerck: Once you are at The Beatles Story, you will head East, leave Gower St, cross
Wapping Avenue, take Paradise Street on your left, then turn right into Hanover Street. You
could stop at the Neptune Theatre on your way. It is worth the detour.
Tourist 2: Really? OK, I could do that.
Clerck: Then keep going down Ranelagh Street, turn left in Lime Street and continue along
the street. There you are: on your right, you’ll have the Empire Theatre and the Odeon Cinema
and on your left St. George’s Hall.
Tourist 2: This is very helpful, thanks a lot! Goodbye!

4. A testimony
> Script de l’enregistrement
➼ Part 1
I am an exiled Liverpudlian. I left the city in 1986, aged eighteen, and have returned only
infrequently ever since. The Liverpool I grew up in was harsh, with limited opportunities
and unemployment was very high. The place was untidy and litter was commonplace.
I was fortunate enough to gain a place at university, and this proved to be my escape route.
If I hadn’t escaped, I would probably have been trapped there for life – as indeed has
happened to my own parents and I am sure to many of my peers.
➼ Part 2
In the early days after leaving, I remember my visits were particularly depressing, the inbound
train passing through suburbs containing row upon row of identical, two-up, two-down
terraced houses. My own grandparents lived in such a house, and I remember the toilet was
outside until the house was modernised in 1982. Their situation was by no means unique.
I made the same train journey up there in mid-2008, and saw the same streets and the same
houses, and the same litter. By all appearances, time had stood still.

178 • UNIT 9
 ➼ Part 3
But time hasn’t stood still. Liverpool has long been notorious for its violence. On my last
visit I picked up the local paper and read of four fatal shooting incidents on the first three
pages! Even at this time, there is an ongoing court case of an eighteen-year-old accused
of shooting dead an eleven-year-old boy. These events contribute significantly to how many
people perceive Liverpool, and certainly I would be very unlikely to volunteer my place of
birth in a conversation. I am also relieved that my accent has become much reduced in the
years since I left.

9. I am relieved that my accent has become much reduced in the years since I left.

> ACTION!
1. Peter left Liverpool in 1986 when he had a place in university / went to university.
2. His visits were infrequent because he still saw litter and unemployment everywhere.
3. Today in the newspapers, you can read about shooting incidents that give a tarnished
image of Liverpool.
4. Peter feels relieved he has got rid of his accent, because he felt ashamed of his hometown.
Approfondissement possible : Peter gives a very negative vision of Liverpool, he portrays a
grim reality. He gives a gloomy, unflattering vision of Liverpool. This town was notorious for
its slums in the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries. Going to university was
a way out of poverty; he used to live in a poor community. People used to live in dilapidated,
shabby, squalid houses. They lived in cramped conditions. That’s why he longed to flee a
world of misery and want.

> Script de l’enregistrement

➼ Part 1
Journalist: Welcome to Music Fans! Today in the studio I have with me Julie Brown who has
just written a book on the Beatles. Why this passion for the Beatles?
Julie Brown: I think they changed the world for generations to come.
Journalist: How did everything begin?
Julie Brown: It all began in March 1957 in Liverpool. John Lennon was attending Quarry
Bank Grammar School in Liverpool. There he formed his own band. Lennon heard Paul
McCartney play the guitar in July 1957, and decided to add him to the group. Eight months
later, McCartney suggested a new member...
Journalist: George Harrisson?
Julie Brown: Exactly! He had made friends with Harrison on the morning bus ride to the
Liverpool Institute. When George Harrison joined the band in 1958 he was only 14. He was
a brilliant guitarist. They finally became The Beatles, a catchy name.
➼ Part 2
Journalist: Did they immediately become stars?
Julie Brown: No, they first played in and around Liverpool. Then they started out in
Hamburg, in Germany, and became true showmen. In February 1961, they made their first
appearance at The Cavern Club in Liverpool and from 1961 to 1962, the Beatles made 292
appearances at the club!
➼ Part 3
Journalist: Then Brian Epstein helped them, didn’t he?
Julie Brown: You’re right. Brian Epstein was a record store owner in Liverpool. He heard about
them and went to watch them perform one night. He was immediately enthusiastic. He loved
their energy. He then became their manager. The only member of the band he didn’t like was
their drummer. Epstein asked Ringo Starr to replace him and completed the band.
➼ Part 4
Journalist: What explains their success?
Julie Brown: Their new look was also a big hit: Their suits and hairstyle were unusual, the
Beatles were unconventional. Besides, they were charming, humorous and creative. They
hopped, sang and played and people loved it! Although their songs were simple, the public
found them touching and the tunes were very catchy. Beatlemania spread all over the world.
➼ Part 5
Journalist: Did they experience tensions?
Julie Brown: Yes, indeed. Tensions appeared gradually. Finally, the growing tensions put an
end to the band. Their end officially came on December 29th 1970.
Journalist: What happened afterwards?
Julie Brown: The four men embarked on solo careers. John became famous for his political
activism, fought for peace between nations. Later, in December 1980, he was murdered in
Manhattan. Paul enjoyed a successful career and continues to produce albums.
Journalist: Well, thank you very much Julie, we feel we know more about the Beatles now!

> Script de l’enregistrement

➼ Part 1
Journalist: Good evening, Mr Winterbottom you’re on the air!
Fan: Good evening, I’m calling because I totally agree with Liverpool Football Club’s policy
against racism in football. I love football but I was so shocked in 2000, when Emile Heskey
suffered a torrent of racist abuse, monkey noises and spitting from a section of Yugoslavia
supporters while playing for England in Barcelona; and it does happen again and again…
➼ Part 2
Journalist: What sort of racist acts have you personally witnessed?
Fan: Well you know, I’ve seen those jerks, usually in groups, who think players are inferior
because they are a different colour, or from another country or part of the world; they feel
they are safe and all-powerful; they keep on threatening, abusing or insulting or making
gestures. No need to tell you the words, of course.
➼ Part 3
Journalist: I understand that racism is against the law, so surely the police and stewards
can take action…
Fan: That’s right, and they do. But it’s not enough! Fans and people in the stadium must feel
concerned and watch out as well. Do you remember this player, John Barnes? He was a target
for racist fans when he first joined Liverpool; he has called for all fans – particularly white
fans – to make a stand if they hear racist abuse from supporters whether they’re watching
Liverpool home or away. That’s what I mean.
➼ Part 4
Journalist: And what should happen to anyone found guilty of racist behaviour at the match?
Fan: They should be ejected from the ground, arrested or even have their season ticket
taken off them for life. That sounds pretty radical, but it’s the only way!

16. Barnes started playing for Liverpool and was abused. Some fans were racist, but Barnes
kept his temper. He never reacted publicly to the taunts but proved his worth with talent
and dignity. Barnes was one of the first Blacks to play for the English national team. He
broke the colour barrier quietly.
17. Incident: suffered from racist abuse Reactions: called for white fans to stand against racism
➼ PART 4
18. k ejected k ground
19. be expelled from the stadium • be put in prison • be banned from stadiums for ever

Approfondissement possible : The supporter is calling the radio station to tell people he
sides with / he supports Liverpool Football Club’s stand against racism. He has witnessed
racist acts in and around the stadium and feels people should fight against discrimination
and help the stewards. He recalls how shocked he was in 2000 when a player E. Herskey
was a victim of prejudice. Never ever should this happen again. Indeed, racist supporters
should be forbidden from either spitting, throwing abuse or making rude gestures because a
player doesn’t match their ideal physical appearance or ethnic origin. He voices his opinion
that such people are a disgrace to sport and football. Radical measures should be taken,
such as expelling the guilty ones from the stadium and taking their season tickets off them
for ever, if need be. Yet legal action is not enough as long as supporters themselves don’t
stand by the authorities and make racists feel like outsiders. Indeed, everybody should try
and curb racist extremists by having a positive attitude and reporting unlawful behaviour.

6. Violence and racism in football are useless and stupid. They spoil the game.

Productions possibles :
a. I can see it’s a poem because the end of the lines rhyme / have the same sound: like “basis”
and “racist” or “understood” and “good”. The lines all start with capital letters, even in the
middle of a sentence. It’s free verse.
b. I think “wanna” is colloquial; it corresponds to “I want to”. Just the same, “cos” is familiar for
“because”. I think “not one comment that’s said is racist” would be “there is not any comment
which is said to be racist” in standard English.
c. The target of the poem are young football fans. The author himself is certainly a football fan.
He wants the young supporters to share his views on “good games”. He wants to denounce
violence and racism, to promote tolerance, to make people aware of an acute problem, a
widespread phenomenon. He dreams of a better world and wants people to evolve and get rid of
their prejudice.
d. That is certainly the reason why he uses substandard English, to make himself understood,
to speak the same language as young football fans. Indeed youngsters often use those
familiar expressions in songs as well.
e. A “good game” is a football match devoid of any violence or aggression. The poet thinks a
match is a kind of friendly or brotherly meeting where thousands of people share in the positive
mood of the physical contest. Racism, violence, discrimination, prejudice, insults, foul language
or abuse are out of place in the arena. Therefore a “good game” is 90 minutes of sheer
pleasure, fun and support for a town, a city or a country’s team.

3. LIVERPOOL AND THE SLAVE TRADE MANUEL k P. 118-119

L’objectif culturel de cette double page est de comprendre comment fonctionnait le

commerce triangulaire, quelles étaient les étapes du voyage et d’où venaient les profits
qu’il engendrait.

1. The Transatlantic Slave Trade

> Mise en œuvre :
k Exploitation de la carte : la carte p. 118 pourra servir de sensibilisation au thème du texte
et permettra de visualiser les déplacements des navires du commerce transatlantique. Avec une
classe faible il faudra peut-être amener les noms de lieux comme western Africa, the Caribbeans,
the West Indies… Ce sera l’occasion de revoir l’absence de détermination devant les noms de
continents et la plupart des noms de pays. Voici quelques mots utiles à fournir au départ : head
for, be bound for, cross, empty / fill the bulk of a ship, a cargo load.
Productions possibles : Ships left Europe bound for western Africa. They intended to
buy black slaves from traders who were meeting them on the coast. This first trip was the
shortest. Then, once the captain had a cargo load of slaves, he headed for the Caribbeans
where they were sold. For the last crossing back home, the bulk of the ship was filled with
precious goods from America much needed in Europe.

Part 1
– Europe, Africa and America were involved in the trade.
– Three groups of people are mentioned: the Europeans, slaves (human beings treated as
property) and European colonists in the Americas.
– Cotton, coffee, tobacco, sugar were grown in the colonies and required a lot of field hands.
– These crops were highly profitable because the workers were not paid for their hard work.
Part 2
– amass vast fortunes, wealth, grand houses, profits, benefited
– Bankers decided to invest the slave trade money in the iron or coal industry, and build big
houses.
– People could buy coloured cotton, tobacco, coffee, chocolate, sugar.
– Slaves helped colonists grow new products that were cheap. These goods were sold in
Europe for a good profit. The money from sugar and tobacco was spent on buying new slaves
who could grow more sugar to be sold in Europe and match the growing demand.

UNIT 9 • 191
UNIT
9 DESTINATION LIVERPOOL

Part 3
– It was the first slave ship to sail from Liverpool to West Africa.
– In October1699 the Liverpool Merchant left the Mersey River, in Liverpool.
1.5 million Africans were transported into slavery by Liverpool slave ships.
In the 1740s, Liverpool was the leader of the British slave trade.
– Liverpool became one of the main trading cities because of its location in Britain: It was a
harbour on the Irish Sea (international trade) and at the same time national trade with the
inland was made easy by the many rivers and canals connected to the city.
– “Nearly all the principal merchants and citizens of Liverpool, including many of the mayors,
were involved.” (l. 51)
c. On encouragera la classe à utiliser le Help! et à se servir du Action! du Workbook pour
préparer la prise de parole en continu qui récapitule le texte. Les élèves peuvent se reporter
à la p. 54 du manuel (« Prendre la parole en continu ») où ils trouveront une liste de gap fillers.
Approfondissement possible : The Transatlantic Slave Trade was a well-organised and highly
profitable business. Colonists from America could grow new products which would sell well in
Europe, such as cotton, coffee, sugar or tobacco. Yet these crops needed many field hands
to grow. Therefore African slaves were brought to the New World to work for free, and this
enabled plantation owners to become immensely rich. Indeed the slave owners managed to
export these exotic crops to Europe and cash in vast profits while their spending on manpower
remained reasonable. By and by, the European working class came to enjoy these plantation
goods and rely on their regular arrival in Britain. The more they bought, the more slaves arrived
in the colonies to enlarge the plantation fields. A whole system was born; Liverpool (or Nantes
in France) was a leading city in Europe for the trade. Thousands of African slaves travelled on
Liverpool ships and many well-known citizens took part in this ghastly human bondage.

2. The Essex, a slave ship from Liverpool

a. En anticipation à l’écoute, on demandera à la classe de décrire le tableau de la p. 119.
Ce sera peut-être le moment de réactiver la description d’image ; si besoin, les élèves
s’aideront des p. 281-282 du manuel (« Commenter un document visuel »). Attention à bien
préciser qu’on utilise le pronom personnel she pour les navires.
Productions possibles : This painting was completed at the turn of the 19th century and
shows a sailing ship in the middle. I can see the Union Jack both at the front / on the first
mast / on top of the foremast (mât de misaine) and at the rear / behind the third sail / on
the mizzenmast (mât d’artimon); so it must be a British ship. I can guess she is a slave ship
but the cargo is not visible. There are other boats around, probably heading for the harbour.
Besides, there are houses and walls behind the main ship and I presume it is the city of
Liverpool. She is about to unload her trading goods from the colonies / her hull must be full
of sugar and tobacco bags. Yet there can’t be any slaves on board because I’ve read that no
African slave ever travelled to Europe; they were meant to work in the colonies.
Cette tâche intermédiaire est le dernier entraînement de l’unité avant la tâche finale. Les
élèves écouteront l’interview et pourront travailler avec la fiche du Workbook qui les aidera
à comprendre les étapes du voyage de ce bâtiment négrier.

➼ Part 1
Journalist: So Mr Potter, you have found an incredible document in your father’s attic.
Mr Potter: Indeed. My ancestor’s ship’s log. Captain Peter Potter entered the ship’s
routine, destination, trading accounts, everything that happened on board The Essex.
➼ Part 2
Journalist: Could you give us some details?
Mr Potter: Well, I’m afraid to say The Essex was a slave ship built in Liverpool in 1770.
Journalist: Oh really? What exactly do you know about this ship?
Mr Potter: She left Liverpool on June 13th 1783, with 33 sailors and a big cargo for trading
with African chiefs: mainly coloured beads, razors and tea. On July 16th, a month later, she
stopped at Cape Verde islands for water and fresh food. She arrived at Bassa Cove, on the
west coast of Africa on August 18th. They stayed there for 7 months...
Journalist: Gosh, that’s a long time!
Mr Potter: Yes, trading with the African chiefs was very slow. Eventually the ship left Africa
on March 25th 1784 with 330 slaves on board.
➼ Part 3
Journalist: How long did the passage last?
Mr Potter: The passage took 51 days. Unfortunately 48 Africans died during that horrible
crossing. They stayed in the Caribbean 70 days, about 2 months and a half, and left for
Europe on July 15th.
➼ Part 4
Journalist: What happened to the slaves afterwards? Do we have any information?
Mr Potter: Oh yes, everything is carefully registered in the ship’s log. Apparently the
auction took place on July 12th and they sold badly because they were not in good health.
Anyway there was enough money to make a substantial profit and to get sugar and ivory
back home to England.
Journalist: When did she arrive in Liverpool?
Mr Potter: She was towed into the docks on September 1st 1784, one year and 47 days later.

Corrigé :
– The trip took the ship from Europe to Africa, with one stop for water and food on the way. She
stayed 7 months anchored along the western coast of Africa for the trading of slaves. Then she
left for the Caribbeans. But 48 slaves died during the horrible passage and nearly all the others
arrived in bad health. They were sold and the money used for trading sugar. The round trip took
The Essex back to Europe one year and 47 days later with a new, highly profitable cargo.
– She left Liverpool on June 13th 1783 with 33 sailors led by Captain Peter Potter.
– The sailors had a big cargo of coloured beads, razors and tea to exchange for slaves, once
in Africa.
– She arrived on the west coast of Africa on August 18th and stayed there for 7 months.
The ship left Africa on March 25th 1784 with 330 slaves on board.
– The ship arrived in the Caribbeans 51 days later / in mid-April. Of the 330 slaves taken
in Africa, 48 had died during the crossing, so there were 282 slaves on board.
– She left for Europe on July 15th with sugar and ivory.

Productions possibles :
Picture 1. We can see a ship at sea. The corpse of a black man is floating in the water on the
left. Maybe the other two black spots in the water are other corpses. The scene looks peaceful
but then you see the corpses, it’s shocking! This corresponds to the Middle Passage, on board
ship from Africa to America. To me, this picture is the worst because of the presence of the
corpses in the ocean. Something terrible must have happened, maybe they were killed by
traders.
Picture 2. Strong, muscular black slaves, men and women, are standing, chained and wearing
shackles. They look resigned. On the left, a white man, a trader, is standing with an arm / a rifle
in his hand. He looks mean. The scene is cruel and is probably set in Africa: It’s a forced march
before boarding the ship. This picture is the most revolting: The slaves look big and strong but
have been captured and are chained and treated like prisoners to be dragged away from Africa.
It’s the end of freedom for them.
Picture 3. Slaves are lying on bunk beds: they are chained even at night. They have no living
space to move. This illustrates the transport below deck on board ship. This picture shocks me
most because the slaves are presented like merchandise / goods on shelves. It’s inhumane!
Prolongement possible : on pourra rapprocher l’image 1 du tableau de Turner, The Slave
Ship, et montrer les correspondances entre les deux œuvres.

Everybody has heard about the tragedy of the Titanic. But how much do you really know
about it? Titanic, then the largest ship in the world, left Southampton for New York on
Wednesday 10 April 1912. On board were 922 passengers, later rising to 1,316 after stops
at Cherbourg and Queenstown, Ireland. With her crew of 892 she carried 2,208 people
in all. Her 20 lifeboats could only carry about half of the people on board. At 11.40 p.m.
on the night of Sunday 14 April she struck an iceberg to the south-east of Newfoundland,
which fatally damaged the hull. The ship sank over two and a half hours later with the
loss of over 1,500 lives. Titanic was registered in Liverpool and so carried the city’s name
on her stern, but she sailed from Southampton, and never visited Liverpool. Besides, the
Titanic had strong links with her home port. Did you know? Captain Smith of the Titanic
lived in Waterloo, near Liverpool, for 40 years, before moving to Southampton in 1908.
The eight heroic musicians in the Titanic’s band were recruited by music agents of Liverpool.
Fred Clarke, as well as all the other musicians, famously kept playing while the Titanic sank.
The Liverpool-based Cunard liner Carpathia rescued all 705 survivors of the Titanic disaster.
J. Bruce Ismay, chairman of the White Star Line, had fine houses in Liverpool and on the
Wirral. He escaped from the Titanic by climbing into one of the last lifeboats to be lowered,
but only after helping many other passengers into boats. Fred Fleet, the Titanic’s lookout
who spotted the iceberg, was originally from Liverpool. He always said that if he had been
supplied with binoculars, the ship might have been saved.

LES ÉTAPES À SUIVRE

> Script de l’enregistrement
➼ Part 1
John Murden: Hello. My name’s John Murden and I’m curator of Liverpool history at the
Liverpool National Museum. I’m going to tell you something about “Magical History Tour:
The Story of Liverpool”, the special exhibition at Merseyside Maritime Museum that has
been put together to celebrate the 800th birthday of Liverpool’s foundation.
➼ Part 2
Liz Stewart: Hi there, I’m Liz Stewart, I’m curator of archaeology for the Museum of
Liverpool. I’m just going to tell you a little bit about this first section of the gallery, “Life before
Liverpool”. This is where we really start to explore the very early history of Liverpool because
although we’re celebrating our 800th anniversary this year [sic 2007] since the Liverpool
Charter or “Letters Patent”, there were actually people living around the Mersey for around
9,000 years. The Mersey itself, or the Pool of Liverpool, was formed around 8,000 years ago
as the ice receded after the last Ice Age. That pool, and the one over on the Wirral, started to
become the key areas where people started to settle in the Prehistoric period.
➼ Part 3
John Murden: The star attraction here is the actual 1207 charter that founded Liverpool,
signed by King John on 28th August 1207. King John planned Liverpool as a place from which
troops and supplies could leave England to invade Ireland. The new town had seven streets
laid out near the old pool. It provided John with both a safe harbour and a source of income
from his tenants.
➼ Part 4
Increasing trade in the 1690s and early 1700s meant that the old tidal Pool of Liverpool was
struggling to cope with increasing amounts of trade and shipping. He converted the Pool
into a dock with quaysides and a river gate. Completed in 1715, the dock made it possible
for ships to load and unload whatever the state of the tide, and was the first commercial
wet dock anywhere in the world.
Of course one of the most important things that underpinned much of Liverpool’s growth
at this time was its significant role in the transatlantic slave trade. You can find out about
some of this in Magical History Tour and in the new International Slavery Museum, also at
the Maritime Museum.
➼ Part 5
Some of the displays around the dock reconstruction explain how Liverpool became a
boom town in the 18th and 19th century. There’s exhibits that look at Liverpool’s role in
the development of the railways and the canals, in the development of dock technology, in
shipping lines and in shipbuilding. There’s also a reconstruction of an 18th century shop
with some of the things that were made, bought and sold in Liverpool, from matches in the
matchmaking factories that were important in Liverpool, to the importation of tobacco and
sugar and Liverpool’s role in the development of banking, insurance and finance.

9 DESTINATION LIVERPOOL

➼ Part 6
Liverpool grew from a town of around 77,000 people in 1801 to a bustling city of almost
700,000 people in 1901. It explores some of the impacts that this tremendous growth had in
terms of health, in terms of jobs and in terms of education and in terms of housing. This sec-
tion of the exhibition also looks at the experience of some of the people who flooded into this
booming city in the 19th century. It looks at the experience of the Irish, the most significant
migrant group to settle in 19th century Liverpool; what they experienced in terms of escaping
famine and arriving in Liverpool. How many came as part of a journey to the New World but
remained, forming strong communities that would have a significant impact upon the city’s
accent, culture, politics and religious beliefs. The exhibition also looks at the other communi-
ties who arrived in Liverpool at this time and made it one of the most multicultural cities in Bri-
tain by 1900. The role that Liverpool ships played on the emigration routes to America meant
that millions of migrants passed through the city. Some came from Africa, some came from
Russia and China. Others came from closer to home, from Wales and from Scotland and from
the Lancashire area. This made Liverpool a truly world city because escaping famine, persecu-
tion or in search of work, many diverse communities chose to make Liverpool their home.

One of the main elements in this painting is the fridge which is on the left, next to the sink.
On the fridge there are three bottles of soda all in a row.
In the background, through the window, we can see a very high tower standing among other
buildings on a hill.
On the window-sill there is a plant and two enormous oranges.

In front of the sink we can see a table which is covered with all sorts of food ready to be eaten.
In the foreground we can see a huge yoghurt, and in the bottom right-hand corner a very
big tin of sliced pineapple.
On the left, next to the yoghurt, there is a hot dog and behind it, pancakes with honey on them.
A loaf of bread which has been opened can be seen between the pancakes and the tin of
pineapple.
Completely on the left there is a piece of bacon and behind it a carton of milk, a glass and
some fruit.
On the far side of the table (beyond the pancakes), we can see cereals in a big cardboard
box, and also different sorts of cereals, all in small boxes, and a red pot in between.
There is some coffee in a coffee-pot on the cooker.

k Five Coke Bottles, Andy Warhol
Coke is a dominant feature of America / is the most popular and biggest-selling soft drink in
history, the best-known trademark in the world. It has become the official drink of the USA.
It is now the cultural icon of the USA.
We are struck by the row of five Coca-Cola bottles. The bottles all look similar / identical.
They embody mass consumption / the consumer society. This object of our everyday life
is immediately recognizable / is part of a mass culture. Moreover the brand stands out in
red. This everyday life object embodies the American way of life. Coke has thus become an
aspect of the American Dream. Anybody can afford a Coke. It also suggests uniformity, the
standardization of tastes and monotony. The Coca-Cola label is famous / universal. The
design is simplistic and yet it is eye-catching.
k Standard Station, Edward Ruscha
We are struck by the dominant red colour, the corporate name “Standard”, the red pumps,
the white building in the background. The gas station stands against a blue sky. The painting is
very geometrical. This painting symbolizes the incursion of corporate signs into the American
landscape. The blue sky reminds us of California and of Los Angeles in particular. L. A. is a world
of parking lots, wide roads and gas stations. The artist focuses on a banal gas station.

Informations complémentaires
Ruscha took photographs of gas stations on the legendary Route 66 highway which
connects Oklahoma to Los Angeles. The view of the road has an economic aspect.
This painting gives an impression of a cold and dehumanized world.

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 82)

II. Observe and speak

a) Pop Art is a visual art movement from the 1960s and 1970s. Pop Art is short for Popular Art.
It used everyday objects, consumer products as well as popular images used in advertising
and product packaging and the media. Images of Pop Art were familiar, recognizable and
included such things as gas stations and Coke bottles. Pop artists, such as Andy Warhol,
said they wanted to portray America as it was. They used bright colours to present mass
consumption products.
b) Coke is the most popular soft drink in the USA. It has become a symbol of America.
Warhol painted bottles of Coke because they are symbols of the American way of life and
our consumer society. It also suggests uniformity and standardization. It is cheap and
everybody can afford a Coke. This explains the success of this product. However, it also
means monotony and the standardization of tastes.

et de documents sur le Pop Art à utiliser en classe. Citons notamment :

The sculpture is in the middle of a room in an art gallery. It is surprising to see a hyper realistic
sculpture. This woman looks real.
She is a plump housewife pushing her trolley in a supermarket. She is in her thirties or forties /
is middle-aged. She is wearing a tight blue skirt and a pink T-shirt. She is still in her rollers.

Her trolley is full to the brim. This woman seems to be overfed / to overeat. The trolley is
full of big cartons, cans, bottles, we can even recognize the brands of the products she has
bought.
b. It is a mirror of our consumer society. This woman embodies the American way of life, a
society based on consumption. The artist uses objects from our everyday life. He certainly
wants to denounce overconsumption. People are brainwashed into buying more and more.
TV commercials urge us to buy more and more.
The artist denounces / exposes our consumer society. He wants to make us aware of an
ugly reality. We are shopaholics. This sculpture warns us about the dangers of our consumer
society. It is a satire of today’s society.

Journalist: What was your initial reaction to the sculpture and why?
Julia: The first time I saw it I was shocked. I thought: “How gross!” What’s the point of
showing a plump woman pushing her shopping cart? I thought it was real. Then I realized it
was a sculpture. I wondered why Duane Hanson modelled a rather fat American housewife.
When you come to think of it this work of art is both realistic and cruel.
Journalist: What makes you think it is both realistic and cruel?

206 • UNIT 10
 Julia: It’s realistic because it is an everyday scene, a very commonplace situation. This
woman is a typical housewife in her rollers, her tight skirt, and with her cigarette. Her cart
is full to the brim: cans, bottles, bags. She’s bought loads of food, and piles of junk food.
She’s just bought all this food to feed her family. We can actually read all the brand names.
It is also cruel because this scene is really ugly, but that’s what we can see every time we
go to the supermarket. It’s a mirror of our consumer society. Consumers want to buy more
and more. The artist is very clever. It is so shocking, so revolting, it makes you aware of our
consumer society and all its drawbacks. And honestly I don’t want to look like this woman
in a few years.

The woman is sitting on a pile of money. Does she really have a huge fortune, or does she

II. ACTION!
➼ RECAP 1 (stanzas 1, 2 and 3)

1. The narrator is probably a needy person. She may be poor, underpaid, badly off, even
destitute.
2. She belongs to the working-class, the have-nots, the underprivileged. She feels excluded
from the world of wealth and affluence. She must be in dire straits.
3. She dreams of becoming rich / wealthy /well-off, of belonging to the upper class, of living
in a mansion. She wishes she could enjoy wealth, material comfort, a high standard of
living / have better living conditions. She wishes she were able to afford luxurious things
such as caviar and champagne, more consumer goods. She wishes someone could wait
upon her. She wishes her dreams came true, were fulfilled.
She can’t bear / put up with her life any longer. She craves for a new life, a higher social
status. She wants to escape poverty, a life of misery. She feels bitter, trapped, hopeless
and frustrated. She longs to have a better future.
Approfondissement possible : The first narrator must belong to the working class; indeed
he / she is an employee. In the first stanza, the narrator voices his / her bitterness, his / her
resentment. He / She wishes he / she could become his / her own boss to be able to make
his / her own schedule. He / She may be sick and tired of being at someone’s beck and call.
The narrator’s dreams will never come true; he / she won’t be able to achieve his / her life-
long dream. He / She might not even be able to retire and enjoy some well-deserved holidays
(“I’ll be working till I’m in my grave”). No wonder he / she is bitter! We notice that his / her
dreams were very materialistic and that he / she aimed at impressing others. If he / she had
been well-off, he / she would have boasted to make other people envy him / her. In the last
paragraph, we understand that the narrator contends that fate has been unfair to him / her
because, more than anybody else, he / she knows the worth of these material rewards. This
narrator doesn’t only speak in his / her name, he / she is a spokesperson for all the hard-
working people who are poorly-paid and who will never manage to fulfil their dreams.

➼ RECAP 2 (stanzas 4, 5 and 6)

4. A wealthy person speaks in this part, he / she belongs to the upper class, has made a
fortune / big money.

UNIT 10 • 209
UNIT
10 LIFE IS ART

5. He / She lives in a consumer society where people are brainwashed, are told to keep buying.
He / She lives in a material world where people throw away things very easily. He / She lives
in a world with no spiritual values. Consumerism dominates / prevails, money rules the world.
6. Despite all his / her possessions and his / her social status, he / she feels lonely and
miserable.
Approfondissement possible : The second narrator might be a company manager or a
factory director. At any rate, he / she must have been other people’s boss and not a very
kind, flexible and understanding boss, since the word “exploiting” is used. He / She doesn’t
seem to be remorseful or to have pangs of conscience.
Nevertheless, he / she listens half-heartedly to religious people who remind him / her that
being very rich is a sin and that God’s Kingdom belongs to poor people. They advise him /
her to give away his / her fortune; they might not be utterly disinterested.
Lines 33, 34, 35: In our consumer society, people consume more and more; either they
become richer (queen) but they take the risk of losing their souls because they have a
material life and not a spiritual life or they become poorer and get into debt (“pauper”)
and they live in their dreams.
As the saying goes, money can’t buy happiness and indeed, this person doesn’t seem fulfilled.
He / She feels lonely / lonesome (“keep my sadness and loneliness at bay”); maybe even
more so as he / she is growing older. In the past, he / she may have befriended some people
but he / she may have taken advantage of them to achieve some professional goal (“good
people are only my stepping stones”) so these friendships didn’t last. Because he / she
treated people unfairly and ruthlessly, he / she has enemies that he / she dreads (“keep all
my enemies away”).
The lyrics of this song are quite depressing. Both narrators are bitter and sad. The first one
wishes he / she had become his / her own boss in order to enjoy more freedom and to earn
more money. He / She doesn’t mention any personal achievement that might have made
his / her life worth living for. The second one had money, but he / she earned it in a morally
questionable way so that, as he / she is growing older, he / she finds himself / herself lonely.

b. Productions possibles :
– It is better to be poor than to be rich with no friends.

 3. BIG SPLASH MANUEL k P. 129

> Mise en œuvre

Les questions a. et b. peuvent être traitées en même temps.
Productions possibles :
a. b. We are immediately struck by a luxurious house and a huge swimming-pool. We can also
notice palm trees in the background, which suggests that the scene takes place in a very hot
area. It could be California, Florida, or even Arizona or New Mexico. It is a cloudless, sunny
day. It must be midday when the sun is highest in the sky judging from the shadow under the
chair. The dominant colours are blue, white and yellow. These colours are very cold. They
suggest a very artificial lifestyle. This painting reminds me of some famous stars’ houses in
Malibu or in American TV series.
c. The folding chair suggests a film producer lives in this house. The atmosphere is eerie / weird
because no human being is around. It conveys the idea that the owner of the house may feel
lonely / lonesome. Somebody has just dived from the diving board. However, the water is still.
There is no motion / movement. The empty chair makes us think the person has vanished, he or
she may have committed suicide. This painting may represent the artificial world of Hollywood.
It may also represent a world of leisure, a Golden Age, a symbol of the American Dream, of
material happiness, of wealth. The house and the pool are emblems of the Californian lifestyle.
d. This house is certainly the house the first narrator dreams of, the type of houses he / she sees
in glossy magazines. The second narrator might live in this house and suffer from solitude /
loneliness. He / She might crave for company.
e. Réponse libre.

N. B. : on trouvera une excellente analyse de ce tableau sur le site suivant :
www.blackdogonline.com/media/books/pdf/pop_art_book_spreads.pdf
Productions possibles : President Elect can be divided into three parts with, from left to right,
are a close-up of John F. Kennedy’s face / a portrait from an election poster, a woman’s hands
holding a slice of cake, and a portion of an automobile.

Informations complémentaires
In President Elect, Rosenquist uses ads for Swans Down Devil’s Food Mix from 1954 and a
Chevrolet car advertisement, and juxtaposes them.
Kennedy was the first presidential candidate to use the power of the media to political ends.
The consumer products selected represent American symbols of affluence, technological
success and middle class standards of living – the typical promises of politicians.
The artist wants to warn us about a growing emphasis on marketing, consumerism and
packaging. As Rosenquist explains, “The face was from Kennedy’s campaign poster. I was
very interested at that time in people who advertised themselves. What did they put on an
advertisement of themselves? So that was his face. And his promise was half a Chevrolet
and a piece of stale cake.”

➼ Part 1
Journalist: Why the Swinging Sixties?
A history teacher: Well... I’ll try to answer this question as best I can. First I think John
Kennedy’s election has much to do with this expression. When he was sworn in as US
President in January 1961, he was welcomed as a breath of fresh air. He and his glamorous
young wife, Jackie, seemed to sum up the optimism and vitality of the new decade. He
promised America could beat the Soviet Union in the Space Race. Remember Neil Armstrong
landed on the moon in 1969. America was in the middle of the Cold War. And Kennedy
promised a safer, freer world. Don’t forget that segregation was abolished in the USA in 1964.
➼ Part 2
Journalist: Why was America so dynamic? What were the other important factors?
A history teacher: First in 1960, nearly half of America’s population was under 18 years
old. And secondly, this generation was also rich and could take part in mass culture with
all its characteristics: movies, television, radio, advertising, toys, forms of art, photography,
games, etc.
➼ Part 3
Journalist: What about television? Did it have an impact on people’s lives?
A history teacher: It certainly did. The other striking phenomenon of the Swinging Sixties
was TV. Colour TV arrived in the early 60s. By the end of the decade, 95% of homes had at
least one TV, bringing newly visible images of war, poverty and racism. And of course, it was
not surprising to see an incredible change in the way people acted and reacted to political
decisions, for example.
Journalist: What exactly do you mean by this?
A history teacher: Political activism built up so quickly during the ’60s, and many individual
Americans became activist leaders. They called for peace, justice, freedom and equality,
and many people rebelled against the involvement of American troops in the Vietnam War,
for example.

Part 1
Andy Warhol created Sixteen Jackies in response to the November 1963 assassination of
President John F. Kennedy. This event was largely covered by the media and struck many
people around the world. Warhol painted many public figures. He made silkscreens of all the
personalities of his day. The repetition of the same image clearly suggests Jackie Kennedy was
famous all over the world and that the images of the assassination could be seen everywhere
on newspapers and TV screens.
Part 2
The portrait is divided into four parts. The four images of Jacqueline Kennedy were
enlargements of news photographs that appeared in the media. These photographs were
taken from Life Magazine. From top to bottom you can see four important scenes:
– First Jackie is leaving the plane after their arrival in Dallas.
– Then we have a close-up of the First Lady. She is standing stunned beside L.B. Johnson
while he takes the oath just after John Kennedy’s death.
– Later we can see a widow grieving and in mourning at the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
– Finally she is beaming in the limousine before the assassination.
Part 3
Sixteen Jackies combines a number of important themes in Warhol’s work. He was fascinated
by stars, public figures and American icons. That’s why he was interested in the mass media
and their impact on people.
Part 4
He was also haunted by time and death. This painting tells a tragic story. Before her husband’s
death, Jackie was a happy and smiling young woman. After the assassination she was a grieving
widow. Time passes and stars are also mortal.

Observe and speak

1. Cette question pourra être traitée collectivement.
Productions possibles : This painting reminds us of a comic strip because of the speech
balloon / bubble at the top. The composition is also characteristic of this painter. He uses
flat primary colours (red, yellow and green), dark lines and thick outlines (as in classic comic
strips). The young girl who may be in her late twenties or thirties is fair-haired / has blond
curly hair. She is wearing red lipstick. She looks sad and miserable. A black-haired woman,
who looks more mature / older, is speaking to her / is comforting her / cheering her up.
It’s a close-up shot of a mother and her daughter.

Informations complémentaires
Roy Lichtenstein often used “Ben-day dots”. The Ben-day dots printing process, named
after illustrator and printer Benjamin Day, is similar to Pointillism. Depending on the effect,
colour and optical illusion needed, small coloured dots are closely-spaced, widely-spaced
or overlapping.

2. La classe pourra être divisée en deux moitiés, qui chacune traitera une partie du tableau.
Productions possibles :
a. – On the left-hand side we are given the girl’s stream of consciousness, her interior
monologue: “I tried to see things from Mom and Dad’s viewpoint.”
– She is thinking about her boyfriend, she is trying to forget him, to put this affair out of her
mind. However, she can’t, she is still in love with him, she can’t help thinking about him.
She wishes they were still together. She feels lost and lonely, desperate, down-hearted and
depressed.
– She has just split up with her boyfriend.
b. – On the right-hand side the daughter doesn’t feel like eating, she’d rather be alone. She
wishes her mother could leave her alone. The mother wants to cheer her up because she is
worried about her daughter’s health.
– The mother is worried about her daughter and tries to comfort her / cheer her up whereas
the girl wants to be left alone.
3. a. The girl must have been dumped, or she may have dumped her boyfriend. They may have
quarrelled, and decided to split up.
b. Cette question donnera lieu à un roleplay. On laissera aux élèves quelques minutes pour
préparer leur dialogue. On vérifiera qu’ils n’ont bien que des notes sous les yeux et non des
phrases complètes.
Productions possibles :
“You should forget this boy. He is not worth it! You’d better forget him. Go out, see your
friends, meet people, do what you like.”

“I feel drained, I can’t go out, I have no energy left. I don’t want to go out. Don’t you understand
that I need some time to get over all this?”
“Of course we do, darling. But you need some fresh air and new faces.”
“Oh, please, give me a break!”
The girl leaves the room and slams the door.
c. The girl may forget Eddie and fall in love with somebody else. They may also make it up and
be happy ever after.
4. This is a very familiar situation / a real-life situation / a classic and romantic situation. It is
an everyday life / ordinary crisis. It is quite humorous to read these words, to see this kind
of situation represented in a painting. It is a parody of romantic love stories.
5. Les élèves pourront faire des montages qu’ils présenteront à la classe et qui seront commentés.
Prolongements possibles :

Ten Marilyn, audio guide 1
1. Ten Marilyn was painted in 1967. Warhol was fascinated by movie stars such as Marilyn
Monroe. Warhol painted a contemporary figure, a Hollywood icon, a sex symbol. He replicated
the picture several times. The multiple portrait is a comment on our consumer society. We
can’t help noticing the bright, garish colours. We are mesmerized by the portraits. Marilyn
is reduced to her essential features: namely her dyed hair, her heavy make-up, her full and
sensual mouth. The woman is striking because she is reduced to essential features. The
repetition suggests the actress is famous all over the world, is to be seen everywhere, is
omnipresent. It is a clear reference to the star system. The artist is also clearly obsessed by
time and death. One portrait is blurred. The last one is in black and white. The painter also
conveys the impression of a mask, which is perhaps a death mask.
Ten Marilyn, audio guide 2
2. Ten Marilyn was painted in 1967. Warhol was fascinated by stars such as James Dean
or Michael Jackson. Warhol is best known for his portraits of Marilyn Monroe. He chose
a publicity photo from 1953 and silkscreening to make multiple portaits of the star. He
transformed an ordinary publicity photo into a myth. He painted a contemporary figure, a
Hollywood icon, a sex symbol. He replicated the picture several times. It is meant to make
it impossible for the viewer to feel any emotion. Warhol considered emotion contrary to
art. Marilyn looks lifeless, and doesn’t seem to have any feelings. The multiple portrait is
a comment on our consumer society. We can’t help noticing the bright, garish colours.
Marilyn is striking because she is reduced to her essential features: namely her dyed hair,
her heavy make-up, her full and sensual mouth. The repetition suggests the actress is
famous all over the world, is to be seen everywhere, is omnipresent. It is a clear reference
to the star system. Warhol glorifies the star, and at the same time ridicules the star system
and its mass media consumption. He hints that the viewers are fascinated by appearances
only, that people are turned into consumer goods. The artist is also clearly obsessed by
time and death. One portrait is blurred, and the last is in black and white. The painter also
conveys the impression of a mask, which is perhaps a death mask. It underlines the passing
of time and that stars are also mortal. Pop Art is the art that focused on modern myths.
Young Woman Shopper, audio guide 1
3. This is a life-size sculpture made of synthetic resin. Duane Hanson added human hair,
dressed the model in real clothes, and gave it real bags to carry. The artist portrays ordinary
Americans. He chose to sculpt average citizens, working-class or middle-class people such as
tourists or shoppers. He wanted to portray real America. People are frozen in their activities.
The sculpture is so realistic that the woman can be mistaken for a living person. The artist
wants to show the effects which the consumer society and lifestyle have on people. When
describing this sculpture Duane Hanson said: “I like the physical burdens this woman carries.
She is weighed down by all her shopping bags and purchases, and she has almost become a
bag herself. She carries physical burdens – the burdens of life, of everyday living.” With her
sad eyes and worn clothes, this woman looks lonely, isolated, and resigned.

Scotland is concentrated in the lowland area where Glasgow and Edinburgh are located. Wales,
with 2.9 million people, is also mountainous. Since 1997, the government has been pursuing
a policy of devolution, leading in 1999 to an elected Scottish parliament and Welsh assembly.
In 2000, Londoners elected their first mayor and assembly. The 2001 census counted more

My parents did not have the benefit of college. They didn’t get to go to college. They were
from a very rural part of the Middle West. College to them was always a dream. For us, it
was always a requirement. We knew – because they told us – we’d go to college. And they
worked very hard to pay for it, and to provide it for all four kids. And I was the first member
of my family to graduate from college, and to get a degree in physics, and to start teaching.
And my parents were very proud. To me, that’s the American Dream, for one generation to
keep building the dream for later generations.

de traiter les points « Échanges » et « Lien social » du programme sans aborder le domaine
des ordinateurs, des téléphones portables et autres jeux vidéo.

UNIT
11 A WORLD OF GEEKS

TUNE IN! MANUEL k P. 144

1. Are you a geek?

Cette activité sera menée rapidement.
k On insistera sur la bonne prononciation du mot geek et on demandera aux élèves de le
traduire ou de l’expliquer en anglais. On pourra proposer les définitions suivantes :
– A person who is interested in technology, especially computing and new media. The word
“geek” is a slang term, noting individuals as “a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially
one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of
intellectuality, electronics”.
– A computer expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered
offensive when used by outsiders).
k Puis on laissera le temps nécessaire aux élèves pour répondre individuellement aux
questions du quiz sur leur cahier ou une feuille de brouillon.

2. Confront your results

> Mises en œuvre possibles : nous vous suggérons ici un travail en groupes (les groupes
étant constitués selon le désir du professeur) plutôt qu’en binômes, car les échanges seront
plus riches.
a. Les membres de chaque groupe se consultent et confrontent leurs résultats, puis un élève
de chaque groupe joue le rôle de rapporteur pour rendre compte d’au moins trois résultats
révélateurs de son groupe (en utilisant la première série d’amorces données dans le manuel).
Productions possibles : In my group, only one of us doesn’t own a computer but we all have
a mobile phone.
Three students out of five spend more than two hours a day on their computer.
We spend about two hours a day checking e-mails or chatting on the computer.
To me, it’s amazing to see how many hours we spend chatting on our mobiles!
b. À tour de rôle, chaque rapporteur prend la parole et le reste de la classe réagit aux conclusions
des uns et des autres en utilisant la seconde série d’amorces.
La trace écrite sera construite à partir des énoncés produits par les élèves.
Productions possibles : In the class, thirty-two students out of thirty-six have a cellphone. We
use it at night or in the evening to talk with our friends. We use it at the weekend when we go
out to ask our parents to come and pick us up after a party. We also use our cellphones to listen
to music and to wake us up in the morning, as an alarm clock.
In my group, everybody has a computer at home. X plays video games five hours a day. She
spends too much time on her computer. We come back from school at 5 p.m. and we go to bed
at 10.30 p.m. so, on average, we have 5 hours a day when we are not at school. If we spend
five hours on the computer, we don’t have time to do our homework or to eat. So we have bad
marks at school and we eat junk food in front of the computer.
Video games are time-consuming, when we start playing, we can’t stop. Video games are
addictive. Some people are addicted to video games, but not everybody, because X only plays
on weekends. It is true that these games are captivating.

228 • UNIT 11
Prolongement possible : on pourra enfin procéder à un travail de mémorisation du lexique
de base en demandant aux élèves de fermer leur livre et de traduire, à l’écrit ou à l’oral, les
phrases suivantes.
1. J’ai mon propre ordinateur.
2. J’utilise mon ordinateur pour chercher des informations.
3. As-tu un téléphone portable ? (pour « téléphone portable », demander un mot britannique
et un mot américain)
4. J’envoie souvent des messages à mes amis.
Corrigé
1. I have my own computer.
2. I use my computer to search information.
3. Do you have a mobile / mobile phone (GB), cellphone / cell / cellular phone (US).
4. I often send messages / text messages to my friends. / I often text my friends.

1. THE HIKER MANUEL k P. 145

N. B. : ce document iconographique est reproduit sur le transparent n° 10 et est accompagné

d’une fiche d’exploitation.

1. Get ready
Si ce travail n’est pas préparé à la maison, on pourra laisser aux élèves un temps de réflexion
pour trouver des arguments. Ils pourront s’appuyer sur la p. 88 du Workbook.
On pourra organiser la classe en trois groupes :
– the do-nothing type of vacation
– sports-orientated people
– cultural / educational holidays
Pour préparer à la tâche finale, on encouragera les élèves à confronter leurs points de vue
en reprenant les structures de l’accord et du désaccord. Si nécessaire, les renvoyer aux
expressions de la p. 154 du manuel qui seront utiles au débat.
Productions possibles : I’m not sports-orientated, I love sunbathing, bathing, lying in the
sun on a beach. I love blue skies, palm trees, blue waters, deckchairs, swimming-pools,
reading a book by a swimming-pool and getting tanned.
I enjoy hiking, hill-walking, mountaineering, walking along deserted trails, breathing some
fresh air, being away from it all. Being on holiday means physical exercise and life in the open,
camping, rock-climbing.
I prefer visiting a country, going sightseeing, seeing monuments with my own eyes, visiting
museums, meeting the natives, discovering exotic places, new customs.
Les différents arguments seront synthétisés au tableau et constitueront la trace écrite.

UNIT 11 • 229
UNIT
11 A WORLD OF GEEKS

2. Observe and speak

a. On invitera les élèves à travailler individuellement et à ne prendre que des notes en trace
écrite, pas des phrases entières. Ils utiliseront le Help! ainsi que le tableau proposé dans le
Workbook p. 88. Ce travail peut aussi être préparé à la maison.
Attention, beaucoup d’élèves prendront cette illustration au premier degré et en concluront
que cet homme a besoin de s’isoler pour étudier dans le calme.
Productions possibles : The cartoon is based on a contrast between the man and his
surroundings. He should enjoy the peace and quiet of the place, enjoy nature, have a rest, a real
break from work and his office. He should relax / unwind. On holiday, people usually want to
escape the routine of their daily life, to have a change from home. He should be lying in the grass
and looking at the magnificent landscape behind him. It looks so peaceful. And yet he is turning
his back on the beautiful scenery and is typing on his computer while hiking. He has carried all the
necessary equipment in his backpack, which must have been very heavy: his laptop, his webcam,
his headphones... He looks ridiculous. This situation is absurd / preposterous. The cartoonist
underlines that this man is a computer addict. Instead of enjoying nature, he is engrossed in
working on his computer. This man is a geek, a computer nerd. With his headphones on, he can’t
hear the bird singing next to him. He is pathetic and hopeless. He needs a cold-turkey treatment as
soon as possible. He will certainly suffer from withdrawal symptoms.
b. et c. Ces deux questions pourront être traitées en même temps.
k On reprendra préalablement les quatre exemples donnés dans la bulle des amorces et
on les fera compléter par quelques élèves en insistant sur la forme be + ing lorsqu’elle est
nécessaire et sur la forme négative.
Productions possibles : This hiker shouldn’t carry his laptop in the mountains / when he
goes hiking. This geek should listen to the birds. He’d better look at the landscape. He should
be walking and enjoying nature.
k On demandera ici aux élèves de trouver au moins trois conseils à donner au randonneur.
Ceci peut se faire collectivement.
k On pourra également mettre en place un jeu de rôles : The man is talking to a friend who
disapproves of his behaviour and gives him advice.
Productions possibles : Are you nuts / crazy / mad? This is incredible! You had better stop
immediately and enjoy nature and fresh air. I’m sure you can do without your computer for a
few days.
You are addicted to your work or games on your laptop. You should have a break.
If I were you, I would breathe and look around instead of doing something you can do at
home. Stop this immediately!
k Enfin, on demandera aux élèves de trouver un titre à ce cartoon.
Productions possibles : A computer nerd – Logged on in nature – Preposterous behaviour –
What a shame!

230 • UNIT 11
2. CELLPHONE MANIA MANUEL k P. 146-147

Anticipation
k Les illustrations de la p. 136 pourront donner lieu à un entraînement à la prise de parole
en continu et à un jeu Just a minute inspiré de l’Académie de Caen (Débats Citoyens, Quelques
activités d’entraînement possibles). On divisera la classe en deux moitiés et on attribuera une
image à chaque groupe. À l’intérieur du groupe, les élèves travailleront individuellement ou par
binômes. Un rapporteur prendra la parole et le reste du groupe complètera éventuellement
ce qui a été dit. On demandera aux rapporteurs de parler pendant une minute sans s’arrêter.
Il / Elle peut hésiter et employer des gap fillers, mais ne doit pas se répéter. Un time-keeper
vérifiera que toutes ces règles sont suivies. Si un élève ne parvient pas à tenir le temps
demandé ou à respecter les règles, on recommencera avec un autre rapporteur.
k On pourra demander à des élèves de prendre des notes, qui pourront ensuite être
(rétro)projetées pour être corrigées et enrichies par la classe entière.
Productions possibles :
– First picture: The girl’s eyes and mouth are replaced by mobile phones. That may mean
that she cannot speak and see by herself anymore. She is addicted to her phone, she can’t
do without it. She and her friends don’t communicate directly anymore, only on / through the
phone. She has no eyes, no brain, she has become a non-person, she is no longer a human
being, she has lost her freedom / is alienated.
– Second picture: The wall has got eyes watching the shadow of a teenager / girl. These eyes
might symbolize parents or friends always knowing where you are, thanks to the mobile phone.
The eyes are threatening. This reminds me of George Orwell’s Big Brother: It is an authoritarian
regime, a dictatorship. Big Brother is watching citizens all the time and tracking them. It reminds
me of the Thought police who arrest Winston in the book. With this device, nothing can go
unnoticed, people can’t escape / flee. This seems to be an eye detector that could prevent
everyone from doing what they want freely. People have no private life, no inner life.

1. Understanding the articles

Le professeur divisera la classe en deux groupes et demandera à chaque groupe de lire un
texte puis de recopier la grille de la p. 147 sur leur cahier ou une feuille de brouillon et, bien
sûr, de la remplir.
Productions possibles :

2. Pros and cons

k À partir de cette synthèse, on pourra demander un compte rendu oral au rapporteur de
chaque groupe.
Productions possibles :
– Text A: Our article deals with a cellphone device which offers a virtual girlfriend for / to
men who have difficulty finding the right girl for them / are tired of looking for the right girl.
This device allows you to take her wherever you want. The virtual girlfriend is always available,
agrees with everything you do, loves being pampered, can speak different foreign languages.
The designer praises the advantages of such a device.
– Text B: Our article deals with a device that allows / enables parents to follow their children
thanks to the Internet or programs in their cellphones. With this device, parents can follow
their children on their way to school or to a friend’s. One mother has mixed feelings about it.
On the one hand she feels reassured, but on the other hand she fears she might infringe upon
her daughter’s freedom. Parents will know the exact location of their children and are warned

232 • UNIT 11
 if their children are not in the right place. It reminds us of Big Brother. Besides, a kid might be
fed up and want to get rid of this chain.
k La discussion sur les avantages et les inconvénients donnera lieu à un travail en groupes
ou en binômes. Un rapporteur (ou plusieurs) sera choisi dans chaque groupe et les éléments
de réponses seront synthétisés par les élèves soit dans leur cahier, soit au fur et à mesure
dans la grille fournie page précédente (rétroprojetée à l’aide d’un transparent ou reproduite
au tableau).
k On peut aussi mettre en place une activité proposée par l’Académie de Caen et intitulée
Circular debate. On fixe un nombre impair d’élèves (5 par exemple) dans chaque groupe et
chaque élève avance un argument qui est immédiatement contredit par l’élève qui a parlé
avant lui.
k Enfin, on peut organiser un Yes-but game. Deux rangées d’élèves A et B se font face.
L’élève A avance un argument et retourne à la fin de la file des A. L’élève B qui lui fait face doit
avancer un argument contraire et va lui aussi à la fin de la file des B. L’équipe gagnante est
celle qui a trouvé le plus d’arguments lorsque le jeu est déclaré terminé par le professeur (dès
que celui-ci sent que les élèves sont à court d’idées).
k Quel que soit le type de débat, on encouragera les élèves à utiliser les expressions de
communication de la p. 144 et on utilisera la p. 89 du Workbook pour enrichir l’expression.

Productions possibles :
– Debate text A:
“I believe it’s a shame! Boys don’t need to have a virtual girlfriend, it’s ludicrous, they’d better
chat real ones up! This is absurd / nonsense / rubbish! No way!”
“Exactly, this is pathetic: Teenagers had better be nice to their girlfriends and try to understand
them.”
“Why don’t they find real girlfriends and learn how to deal with them?”
“I see your point but, on the other hand, it can be useful to get good ideas for your future
girlfriend.”
“You must be joking! If I were the girlfriend of a boy who uses this device, I wouldn’t let him
use it: It would be the device or me!”
“I believe that some very shy people may find it handy / reassuring, it could give them more
confidence afterwards in real life.”
– Debate text B:
“Parents had better try to talk more to their children.”
“It is alarming! Some parents feel the need to have this kind of device instead of trusting their
own children.”
“I totally disagree, they can trust them but still want to use modern technology for security /
safety reasons. What’s more, parents always worry and want to know where their kids are.”

3. Role play
a. L’analyse de cette image pourra donner lieu à une prise de parole en continu en début de
cours par exemple.
Productions possibles : The boy with a flashy and colourful shirt has a mobile phone around
his neck. It’s locked around his neck with a chain that could symbolize his attachment to the

UNIT 11 • 233
UNIT
11 A WORLD OF GEEKS

phone, maybe his dependence. He probably cannot live without it. He’s like a dog with his
lead: never out of reach and constantly attached to his phone. He can be contacted at any
time even in the middle of the night. His phone must be on all day long. He is the symbol of
an addict. It’s humorous but effective. We can’t see his face, and the photographer did it on
purpose, because many people can identify with him.
b. Le professeur partagera la classe en deux groupes. Chacun préparera des arguments pour :
– un(e) ami(e) qui veut un(e) petit(e) ami(e) virtuel(le) ;
– des parents intéressés par le nouveau type de surveillance décrit dans le texte B.
Les amorces proposées dans le Workbook p. 89 (question 2 b.) ainsi que le vocabulaire
du Help! p. 147 du manuel aideront les élèves à enrichir leur expression.
Productions possibles :
– To your friend who wants a virtual girlfriend or boyfriend
Come off it! You can’t possibly compare a real girlfriend and a virtual one. It’s a total waste of
money!
If you choose a virtual girlfriend, you will practise before having a real one.
Do you see yourself with a virtual programme, talking to it and pretending it’s your girlfriend?
It’s just a substitute, you can’t live in a world of fantasy!
How can you imagine it’s the same thing as building a relationship and having a real girlfriend?
Have you ever thought about the loss of time / fun it could be?
Why don’t you try it for a while and see what you think about it?
Why don’t you get out more often and try to find yourself a real boyfriend and build a relationship?
Such a device is risky if you spend too much time on it. There is a real lack of warmth, it’s not
a real relationship.
Be careful, you can become cut off from the real world instead of facing reality.
– To parents who want to adopt cellphone surveillance
You always are on my back, trying to trace me wherever I go!
I understand you want to feel reassured because you’re afraid of losing me but I will feel
watched and tracked.
I know it’s for my safety and your peace of mind and you think this is for my own good but
I am reliable.
But I think it’s too disrespectful. This will limit my freedom and you will be spying on me!
Don’t you think that it could be easier to trust me and not prevent me from going where I want
when I want?
What about my freedom and sense of responsibility?
Stop worrying and imagining the worst!

3. TURN IT OFF! MANUEL k P. 148-149

Anticipation
On utilisera l’image de la p. 148 du manuel en anticipation.
Productions possibles : The boy in the foreground is fascinated by the game he is playing.
He is computer-addicted. He is glued to the screen. He is hooked on computer games. He is
the perfect image of a couch potato. He is sitting comfortably in a huge green armchair. He
can’t spend much time outside. He can download all the software programmes he wants and

234 • UNIT 11
 may have no contact with the outside world. He lives in a virtual world which has replaced the
real one. He may be computer-dependent. It may have consequences on his health, he may
become overweight, obese if he doesn’t do any exercise / practise any sport. The two boys
are not playing with each other, but with computers. Their computers may isolate children
from one another, from their brothers and sisters, from their parents.

1. Understanding the text

a. Corrigé proposé :
– Amsterdam: a clinic in Amsterdam (l. 4)
– Utrecht: Tim, 21, is from Utrecht (l. 15)
– Britain: Two teenagers from Britain will be treated in the clinic (l. 6)
– America and Asia: Where other sufferers come from (l. 7)
– China and South Korea: Two countries where people are particularly passionate about
computer games (l. 21)
b. Pour classer les expressions, on pourra les noter en deux colonnes au tableau d’après les
réponses des élèves, puis donner une minute de préparation pour la recherche d’un titre
approprié pour chaque colonne.
Corrigé proposé :

Addiction and its consequences /

Forgetting the computer / Treatment
Isolation due to video games
– some have given up school (l. 10) – parachuting trip (l. 12)
– don’t speak to their parents (l. 10) – meditation, fitness training and group
– whose lives have been taken over by therapy (l. 13)
an addiction (l. 8)
– no friends (l. 10)

c. Pour la recherche d’informations concernant Tim, on pourra demander à plusieurs élèves

de répondre dans l’ordre aux items, puis à un autre élève de reprendre le tout en Recap
et d’en faire une phrase.
Productions possibles : Tim is a 21-year-old Dutchman and is obese, he weighs more than
31 stone. His parents are worried about him and frightened of him. His only hobby is to play
computer games.

2. Follow-up work
a. Productions possibles :
– Could you live without video games?
– How many hours a day do you play?
– Don’t you miss your friends if you don’t see them?
– What is the most important thing for you: hanging out with your friends or playing video
games?
– Do you think you lead a normal life?
– Do you see yourself as an addict?

UNIT 11 • 235
UNIT
11 A WORLD OF GEEKS

b. Corrigé : shy • withdrawn • self-centred • ill-at-ease • awkward • immature

Ces adjectifs pourront faire l’objet d’une mémorisation avant d’être utilisés dans des phrases.
c. Productions possibles : In their everyday lives, these teenagers don’t even care about their
relationships anymore; some drop out of school, others become withdrawn and don’t have
friends at all or don’t speak to their parents anymore. Even their comfort doesn’t matter
anymore: They don’t tidy up their rooms and they may eat junk food. They probably don’t
care about their appearance and dress sloppily. Their health must be jeopardized: Their eyes
must ache after spending hours in front of a screen and they must suffer from headaches.
No physical exercise may endanger their health / could have consequences on their health.
Such addicts are likely to have heart diseases particularly if they keep putting on weight. They
are so self-centred that they are not interested in anything else. They must be furious / mad
if someone interrupts their game.
d. Les propositions de solutions pourront se travailler d’abord individuellement, puis en
confrontant ses idées à celles des autres élèves du même groupe ou du reste de la classe.
Productions possibles : I reckon that parents could try to reduce the number of hours their
children spend in front of the computer. They should force themselves and exercise a little.
Even if it’s difficult, why don’t they go away for a weekend with their family? Yoga might be
a good solution for them. It would compel them to focus on what is really important. They
should do some physical training / practise a sport. If I were them, I’d go on a diet / I’d stop
eating junk food / I’d start going out with some friends.

3. Discuss
Les amorces fournies p. 90 du Workbook ainsi que le vocabulaire du Help! et les amorces
p. 149 du manuel constitueront une aide précieuse dans le cadre de ce premier mini débat.
Celui-ci donnera lieu à un travail écrit ou oral.
k Travail écrit : on pourra diviser la classe en deux et demander à chaque groupe de trouver
un maximum d’arguments. La production d’un élève pourra être (rétro)projetée, corrigée et
enrichie collectivement.
k Travail oral : les mises en œuvre décrites p. 233 pourront être réutilisées ici (Circular
debate, Yes-but game).
Productions possibles :
– Yes, computer games can be addictive
“Recent studies suggest / prove / show that spending too much time playing computer
games can really become an addiction. Today we know that it can become an addiction
like alcohol or drugs or other illegal substances. Just imagine the damage! It’s a distracting
activity, worse than watching TV! If you spend too many hours playing, then you will become
more and more obsessed. Playing too much on your computer may become addictive if
nobody is there to stop you and your mood can change but don’t you think that an addiction
is something serious and, as such, can be harmful?”
“Indeed, it may be unhealthy because you don’t go out so much, see your friends or do any
other activity.”
“You’re right, what’s more, teenagers who have no limits can become addicted like junkies:
They need to continue the game and they just can’t stop!”
“It can be dangerous for your psychological and emotional health and lead to health disorders.
You can become moody and the consequences for your social life can be huge / dramatic!”

236 • UNIT 11
– No, computer games aren’t addictive
“It can become addictive but only if you exaggerate and spend all your time playing.”
“I see your point but ‘gamers’ are not like junkies, it’s not a drug! Don’t you think that people
exaggerate when they say it’s like taking drugs? It’s entertaining first of all, you can have fun
whenever you want, even if your friends are not around. On the other hand, it can develop
your imagination and certain skills or reflexes.”
“I totally believe that it depends on how long you play. If you know when to stop, it’s funny and it
can increase your imagination. Youngsters / Young people can really enjoy themselves / have
a great time thanks to computer games. They can take pleasure in playing and discovering new
adventures and new graphics corresponding to new worlds!”

4. Growing up online
Productions possibles (exploitation de l’image) :
It’s a close-up shot of a teenager’s face. What immediately catches the eye are the purple and the
green colours. Our attention is also focused on the eyes. The teenager’s eyes look like a screen:
They are square. He / She is expressionless. The atmosphere is spooky. This person is glued to
the screen. The light is artificial. His / Her nose looks weird because it has lost its shape. This
makes the teenager look dehumanised. It may suggest she / he is addicted to the screen and has
lost contact with the real world. It may also mean that computer addicts are alienated.

> Script de l’enregistrement

➼ Part 1
Journalist: Why are Facebook or social networking sites so popular?
Doctor: It is fun to meet people in cyberspace, to communicate with other people who have
the same interests throughout the world. Humans need to communicate. Computers also
offer us a form of escape and diversion, which can be healthy to a certain extent.
Journalist: Where are the dangers then?
Doctor: Some online users may begin living artificial lives. They can create their own virtual
world. They can have different personalities online. Teenagers who are shy and insecure
can hide their appearance, and assume a completely different personality. They don’t feel
inhibited. It raises their self-confidence. Actually the computer has become an outlet for
self-expression.
➼ Part 2
Journalist: What about parents? Do they have any control?
Doctor: Online teenagers are out of their reach. They can’t control who their kids are talking
with, what they are saying or doing, what photos or videos they are showing to other peole,
what websites they’re visiting. There is no parental control. Kids have relationships that are
totally invisible to parents. They live in a world that is hidden from their parents.
➼ Part 3
Journalist: How do parents react to this?
Doctor: They fear for their kids’ safety.
Journalist: You mean who’s at the other end?
Doctor: Absolutely, they wonder if this person is normal, or if the person their children are
chatting with is a psychopath or a potential murderer. Some parents don’t know their kids
have an online personality. Nobody watches what they do. So some of them think they can

UNIT 11 • 237
UNIT
11 A WORLD OF GEEKS

do whatever they want, show any photo or video of themselves and their friends. Some can
be shocking and some parents wonder if wicked people can’t have access to these photos
and do their kids harm. Some kids are addicted to the Internet, because they no longer feel
complete without computer interaction and their online personalities.
Journalist: Thank you very much.

> Mise en œuvre
Ce travail peut être préparé à la maison ou donné en classe entière. Si l’on opte pour un
travail de groupe :
– diviser la classe en quatre groupes qui se concentreront chacun sur un cartoon
– demander ensuite à au moins deux rapporteurs dans chaque groupe de faire un compte
rendu oral et d’analyser les intentions du dessinateur
– demander éventuellement aux élèves qui écoutent de prendre des notes et de les
reformuler au style indirect. On invitera les élèves à utiliser les amorces suivantes : You said
that… You told us that… You mentioned that… May I ask you why you said that… You made a
good point when you said that…
– charger certains élèves de remplir une grille, une partie remplira la colonne similarities
tandis que l’autre complètera la colonne differences.
N.B. : les structures du but seront introduites et / ou rebrassées : The cartoonist’s goal is
to inform the viewer / to sensitize us to / to alert us to / to make us aware of / to warn the
public about the dangers of...
Productions possibles :
– Cartoon 1: The first character mentions to the other one that he’s trying to overcome
his computer addiction by having a CD-ROM put as a patch on his shoulder. This victim of
computers is aware of his addiction and wants to get rid of it. He must quit playing video games
or surfing on the Internet for his health. In the first cartoon, the cartoonist aims at making fun of
players by comparing them to heavy smokers who need to quit their bad habit. He also wants
to alert us to the dangers of computers / to the fact that computers have deeply transformed
people’s lives / to a serious issue: computer-addiction.
– Cartoon 2: In the second cartoon, the artist’s goal is to highlight the intrusion of computers
in our everyday life. It has an impact on people’s love life. The mother adapts a new version of
a classic like Romeo and Juliet, she gives her boy an updated version of the story. Nowadays
a lot of people meet online in a chat room and develop a relationship. Finally, technology and
more precisely the computer is at the origin and the end of the relationship: It’s totally virtual
and even a classic like Romeo and Juliet could be transformed to meet modern standards.
The artist certainly wants to make fun of love relationships on the Internet. Romantic stories
no longer exist, because our lives are dominated by machines.
– Cartoon 3: As for the third cartoon, the artist underlines the invasion of the mobile phone
in our daily lives. The man is running away from his phone which seems to bounce after him.
The man looks scared and yells: He only wants a few minutes of peace and quiet. He is fed
up. He can’t stand being disturbed all the time. His mobile phone keeps ringing and drives
him mad. Mobile phones infringe upon our privacy. The cartoonist underlines / emphasizes /
points out / stresses the man wants to be left alone. The artist wants to warn us about a real
danger, mobile phones have become a new scourge.
– Cartoon 4: A young boy is sitting in his room reading a book. His room is filled with
state-of-the art equipment, all the modern appliances we can think of. Instead of joining
chat rooms, browsing on the web, being glued to his screen, he’d rather read a book. He is
engrossed in his reading. He is different from many of his peers. It is quite unusual / odd to

UNIT 11 • 239
UNIT
11 A WORLD OF GEEKS

see a teenager neglect his computer. He is not addicted to his computer although there are
many temptations. The cartoonist may suggest that some kids can resist temptation and stick
to more traditional pastimes. The balloon may refer to what his friends tell him when they
make fun of him.

Similarities
– the invasion of technologies in our lives
– the desire to fight against these addictions
for the characters in the first, third and
fourth cartoons
Differences
– The first character, like the third and
fourth characters, admit they are hooked
on their computer or cellphone and want
to get rid of them whereas the mother
in the second cartoon is keeping up with
modern technology.

2. Your point of view

Productions possibles : To me, cartoon 2 is the most critical because it involves a mother
and her child and it represents the next generation that could stop reading and just be obsessed
by e-mails or new forms of communication.
I believe that cartoon 3 is the funniest. It’s preposterous: The man is chased by his own mobile!
He has no control over his life.
The least true-to-life is the first cartoon because nobody would do this but it’s also funny
because it’s so ridiculous!

Productions possibles : This is a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon drawn by Bill Watterson in 1988.
First, Calvin and Hobbes are watching TV, they seem to be enjoying themselves. Calvin loves
spending his time in front of TV, even during the weekend. When his father arrives, he stops
them from watching TV. He can’t stand seeing his son spending all his free time like the rest of
his generation in front of a screen; he is fed up with seeing them glued to a screen instead of
playing outside, exercising and enjoying the beautiful day they have. That’s why he throws them
out. Once they are out, Calvin and Hobbes seem to agree but in fact they go to Susie’s, a friend
of Calvin’s, to watch TV with her. What is funny here is that when Calvin is out, we imagine he’s

going to have fun like a little boy of his age but finally he just meets his friend to keep watching
TV. They look forward to watching more and more programmes. They are so used to watching
TV passively that the little girl even mentions Calvin has to hurry up because it’s a commercial,
as if it were vital! They can’t help being attracted to TV and spending a lot of time in front of it
whereas they could spend time playing, cycling or just chatting together.

my parents if I had a problem.”
“On the other hand, if my parents want me to call them wherever I am, that means they don’t
trust me!”
– mp3 player: “I don’t understand this sort of prejudice. My mp3 is a good thing for me: I can
listen to music whenever I want and this isn’t harmful.”
“I couldn’t agree more with that quote: Sometimes my friends aren’t even listening to what
I’m saying, they are hooked on their phone or mp3!”
– Texting: “In my opinion, texting doesn’t take too long, you are not cut off from the world!”
“Instead of texting, they could enjoy the holidays and do other more entertaining things!”
– New technologies: “I believe new technologies are helping people to communicate better.
They enable us to get in touch with people quicker and from anywhere. It’s a real revolution!”
“Teenagers had better go out more and stop living in a virtual world with virtual relationships!”

a. Productions possibles :
– Cartoon 1: The first cartoon deals with the plundering of the Earth / of the Earth’s resources.
Men are holding hammers and are hammering at the Earth. The Earth is compared to a piggy
bank which greedy men are trying to break to get all its treasures. These men are smiling /
grinning. They are wearing suits that remind us of CEOs, executives in big firms who are
unaware of the consequences of their acts. Each man may symbolize a continent / countries
looking for gold, oil, diamonds, gas, or raw materials to feed their industries. They are involved
in a global race for raw materials. This cartoon is pessimistic, and alarming. It hints that one
day the piggy bank will be empty and we will have exhausted the resources of the planet. The
pig looks dumbfounded, its eyes are wide open and its ears folded. It may suggest that the
Earth is paralysed, powerless in the face of man’s madness. The Earth is a treasure-trove ready
for the taking. But man’s greed, carelessness and selfishness will lead to a disaster. Men are
responsible for the destruction of the planet. The whole world is responsible.
Title: The piggy bank
– Cartoon 2: We are immediately struck by a skinny little boy who meets a polar bear. The
boy may be from Africa and meets a bear who is supposed to live at the North / South pole.
The cartoon is based on a discrepancy between Africa and the poles. It warns us about the
dangers of global warming. Nature’s balance has been upset. The earth is cracked / parched,
it has become a desert, which implies that there is a shortage of water / a severe drought.
People try to escape drought and move from one continent to another. The polar bear is
threatened with extinction, wildlife is endangered. Humanity is on the verge of extinction.
The whole world is at stake. It is a strange encounter. The man and the animal are the
only survivors. It is a very pessimistic vision, an apocalyptic vision. Man is confronted with
extinction. In my opinion it is not realistic / it is over-exaggerated.
Title: Strange encounter
– Cartoon 3: Man’s evolution is represented in the cartoon. The different stages are clear:
the fish, the dinosaur, the monkey, the Neanderthal man, then the Homo sapiens. Man has
dominated / tamed the planet. The man in red trousers looks bewildered. He is the only man
left, the only survivor of a civilization. The traces of this civilization are a truck sinking into the
sea, with an oil drill, rockets / nuclear missiles, a gas station, a plant releasing / belching
black fumes into the air and a building. The wheel of the truck symbolizes nuclear waste, toxic
waste dumped into the sea. Exhaust pipes symbolize cars that pollute the air. The island has
become a wasteland. The Earth has become a rubbish dump / a dumping site. It’s scary,
alarmist.
Title: Look at this mess!
b. La comparaison entre les trois documents sera l’occasion de rebrasser les structures
de la comparaison, de la préférence et de l’opinion.
Productions possibles : The three cartoons raise topical / environmental issues / crucial
problems. They all focus on the danger of pollution. They are striking / provocative / thought-
provoking.

Causes
– Lack of safe water and sanitation
(1.2 billion people in the world don’t have
access to safe drinking water; 2.4 billion
lack proper sanitation facilities.)
– Between 1990 and 1995, global water
consumption rose six-fold due to industrial
demand + changes in our diet.
Consequences
– The world’s single largest cause of illness.
In 2002: 42% of households had unsafe
water and lacked of basic sanitation facilities.
– The toll on children is high. About 4,500
children die each day. Others are often ill
and can’t work or get a proper education.
The young and the old are vulnerable / the
victims.
– The poor: In sub-Saharan Africa, 36% of
the population can have access to hygienic
sanitation.
– Urban-rural disparities: In 2002, 37% of
people in the country had access to basic
toilets, against 81% of people in cities. In
particular Latin America and the Caribbean.
– Women have to fetch water, consequently
they have no time for other work. Girls can’t
be educated.
– Water shortages: Nearly 1.8 million kids
die every year of diarrhoel disease.

Approfondissement possible : The narrator relates a personal experience. One day someone
discovered there was no water. He wondered what was happening / what the problem was.
He was surprised, puzzled. He asked his neighbour what was going on. Nobody knew. They
asked the authorities who replied that there had been a minor incident, but the inhabitants
shouldn’t worry. They used an understatement (a figure of speech in which a person
deliberately makes a situation seem less important or serious than it is). The narrator is ironic
and sarcastic. The authorities denied the truth, they said it was just a drop. The narrator
denounces the hypocrisy of the authorities / big companies who knew the water supply had
been contaminated, that it was a mass poisoning. The narrator accuses them of lying, of
manslaughter. He wants to report a crime. He asks them to acknowledge the truth. They kept
people uninformed, and did it on purpose.

Approfondissement possible : The authorities promised they would take measures / steps.
They promised they would cope with the problem and that it wouldn’t take long. However they
didn’t keep their promises. They tried to reassure the population, to comfort them. But they
didn’t do anything, although everybody was concerned that women and children were the
victims / casualties. The narrator is trapped / defenceless / powerless / weak against the
authorities. He is helpless / hopeless / crushed by powerful people. He is fed up to the back
teeth. / He can’t stand their lies anymore. Their answers are stereotyped. The population has
been deluded / deceived for ages. People are puppets in the hands of unscrupulous people,
of hypocrites. This is a committed song. It denounces the situation in developing countries
or in countries where people are sacrificed to economic profits. No country is mentioned,
no name is given, it can happen anywhere in the world.

➼ PICTURE A
1. a) This document is an advertisement.
b) – We are immediately struck by the man standing in the middle of the picture behind
a black and dirty wall. He is blindfolded, he is looking down, he is wearing a white T-shirt.
His hands are chained behind his back. He has been sentenced to death and is going to /
about to be shot dead by the death squad. We are witnessing his final moment.
– It is a full shot.
N. B. : pour trouver le plan utilisé les élèves se réfèreront à la p. 261 du manuel.
– The scene is seen through the eyes of the soldiers who are ready to shoot / pull the trigger.
2. a) governments • the lack of sanitation • industrialists
b) Victims of the sanitation problems
Approfondissement possible : The gloved hands are not holding pistols but glasses of
water. The lack of water and sanitation is a major cause of illness and death. Young people
in particular die from unsafe water and basic sanitation facilities, particularly in developing
countries. Young people are hard hit because they do not have access to safe drinking water.
3. a) – Make people aware of widespread sanitation problems.
– The goal is to alert the public, the authorities that many people die or could die if nothing
is done.
– The goal is to sensitize the authorities and make them take drastic measures / steps to
fight this problem.
b) Pessimistic message. The man is sentenced to death.
The picture is in black and white to suggest death / that the man is doomed. He is wearing
a white T-shirt to underline he is an innocent victim.
4. It is a very forceful ad because an innocent and young victim is sentenced to death, although
he hasn’t committed any crime. The advertisers resort to a shock tactic to alert us, to warn us
about an acute problem.
➼ PICTURE B
1. a) This document is an advertisement.
b) The sewer is lying in the middle of the picture and looks huge / enormous.
Sewage is important / dominates the scene / is flowing in the middle of a city.
The river looks dirty / filthy / polluted.
The city is densely populated / overpopulated / in a developed or Western country /
huge / sprawling.
2. a) chemicals • waste disposal • industries that dump toxic waste anywhere
b) The city looks like a rubbish dump / a dumping site / an open air sewer.
3. a) The WWF wants to influence the public opinion / denounce the indifference of industrialists,
their lack of concern. Their only goal is to make money. The WWF wants to protest against the
impact of industrialization on the environment. It conveys the impression of a squalid and filthy
river, a world of grime and darkness.
b) The message is pessimistic, the population seems powerless. We are all concerned by
waste disposal, it endangers people’s health / lives. Industrialists who pollute our rivers
with chemicals should be prosecuted.

Productions possibles : We are struck by / We can see a penguin standing on an island in
the middle of the ocean. Instead of walking on the ice and living at the North / South pole,
the penguin is alone on a tropical island. It seems to be the only survivor left. It looks helpless
and hopeless. The cartoon is both pessimistic and humorous. The cartoonist wants the viewer
to realize that many species are endangered and will soon become extinct. The goal is to
make us aware that some species will soon be wiped off the surface of the Earth. We can’t
let people destroy the environment. The artist wants us to be concerned about the state of
the planet. It is a very gloomy vision of the world. The problem is acute. Citizens must make
governments react and take measures to cope with this problem.

> Build up your vocabulary

a. We are immediately struck by the Earth that has been turned into a garbage can. The
cartoonist’s goal is to make us aware of the enormous amount of waste we produce every
day. The problem of waste disposal is acute because litter is dumped everywhere, and is
polluting rivers and oceans. Our waste should be recycled or burnt. The message is clear:
Our blue planet is threatened with extinction because man has destroyed the environment.
We should all fight for the protection of the Earth.

b. We will soon be confronted with an energy crisis. The world’s demand for energy – oil,
coal, gas – is rising. More renewable sources of energy, like wind, solar and hydro power,
will be used in the next two decades. Governments want to develop public transport and
clean energy sources to reduce oil consumption and the greenhouse effect.

YOUR TASK MANUEL k P. 165-167

1. Entraînez-vous en analysant cette publicité.

Cette publicité pourra faire l’objet d’un travail individuel ou en groupe avant une reprise
collective devant toute la classe. Elle permettra de revoir les expressions du but.
Sur le site Internet d’Encams (l’entreprise chargée des campagnes de Keep Britain Tidy,
www.encams.org), on pourra trouver des compléments d’information utiles comme celui-ci :
“In 2005, a survey by Keep Britain Tidy revealed that smoking-related litter was found in 79%
of sites across England and it had increased by a staggering 20% over the last four years.”
Productions possibles :
The arrows correspond to: 1: slogan • 2: motto • 3: logo of the campaign group.
The advertisers target smokers who drop their litter/ cigarette butts / ends in the street,
encourage smokers to be more responsible about the way they dispose of their cigarette
butts. They target people who pay no attention / respect to the environment / who pollute
the environment because they are not concerned / responsible citizens / they are careless.
The goal / aim / purpose of this ad is to denounce / expose / condemn / criticize smokers
who have a selfish attitude. The advertisers want to draw the public’s attention to the litter
problem. They wish to make people aware that daily habits / gestures can pollute our
environment. They intend to alert the public / to sensitize people to what they do.
They encourage smokers to use cigarette bins and personal ashtrays.

Productions possibles :
– Ad n° 1: Tarzan is going to crash, to land in a wasteland. All the trees have been logged.
Tarzan is going to kill himself because of deforestation / logging. It is very humorous and
at the same time it is a very gloomy vision of the future. The sky is dark: It suggests the end of
the world. It is a mixture of gloom and humour. We are doomed, but let’s laugh. The advertisers
resorted to humour and a shock tactic to alert us, to sensitize us to the state of the planet.
They want to shock us into awareness.
– Ad n° 2: In the foreground of this ad, we can notice a teenager lying on the beach. In the
background, two other people can be seen in the sea. They seem to be as young as the first
teenager. The clues / hints that show us that they’re on the beach are the sand and the sea.
The beach is littered with garbage, cans and bottles. What immediately catches our attention is
the garbage on the beach as well as the numerous / huge number of seagulls. They look as if
they are searching for food or as if they want to attack the teenager who is sunbathing. This ad
is symbolic because it asserts that humans, by threatening nature / upsetting nature’s balance,
are threatening themselves. They’re on the brink of disaster. The target of this ad is teenagers.
The advertisers chose to show the teenager’s back only in order to convey the message that it
could be any teenager. Everyone can identify with him. Every young person lying on the beach or
not has to be concerned and get committed to the protection of our planet. The caption with the
words “you’re rubbish” is a pun. They want to drive the message home. It’s a manner of saying:
“You’re responsible for the state of the planet, you are worthless, inconsiderate.” The goal of
the ad is to make people feel responsible for the state of the planet. If mankind upsets Nature,
Nature will retaliate. Man may also be threatened with extinction. The seagulls refer to / draw
a parallel between this ad and the movie Birds, by Alfred Hitchcock. It is scary and disturbing
because it looks as if the birds are about to attack the teenager.
– Ad n° 3: Our attention is immediately caught by a man looking at himself in a mirror and
frowning. We can’t help noticing his cracked skull. This is a very powerful visual device to
suggest that our planet is threatened with drought, with global warming. This young man,
maybe a yuppie, is obviously concerned with his appearance and wrinkles, and getting old.
He doesn’t care about the state of the planet, he is blind, he doesn’t worry about what is
happening in the rest of the world. He is not facing the problem, he is turning his back on the
problem of global warming. He may also be turning his back on the problem of developing
countries. He has blinkers, has a short-sighted, a short-term vision of the world. He is
unaware of reality, of what is going on. He is selfish / self-centred, trapped in consumption.
He is shallow. This ad is forceful, disgusting, it gives us the creeps. For some people the ad
is funny because the advertisers used a very smart / clever device. But it is grim humour.
For others it bothers them. It makes them feel uneasy, the ad gives them the creeps, makes
their hair stand on end, they find it scary / frightening / shocking / revolting / gross. This

258 • UNIT 12
ad is clearly an indictment of our selfishness, of consumers who are only worried by their
looks and appearances. The man stands for the average consumer in the developed world.
The advertisers call on us to join the fight against global warming.
– Ad n° 4: This striking image is a clear reference to floods, storms, hurricanes; it may also
be a reference to Katrina. It looks as if the environment were talking to us. The advertisers
resort to a visual device to make us aware of the link between floods, hurricanes and global
warming. They have resorted to a shock tactic to make us aware of the impending disaster /
an acute problem / the threat / the danger / the impact of global warming on our planet.
They want to alert us / sensitize us / shock us into awareness. The message conveyed is
clear: It’s high time we acted. We are on the brink of disaster, if we don’t act now we are
doomed. We are all concerned. They want to frighten us into acting / reacting. They want
to urge us to do something.

Productions possibles :
a. We are immediately struck by / Our attention is immediately drawn by the chain around two
hands, the padlock in the middle standing out against the white background, and the word
“forced” written in big red capital letters.
b. At first we may think marriage is a sacred link, but the word “forced” and the sentence
“you have the right to choose” tell a different story. A bride and a bridegroom are going to get
married or may have just been married since we can see a white shirt at the top of the poster.
They have been forced, it may have been an arranged marriage. They may have been forced
by their parents. The padlock reminds us of prisoners who are unable to escape. These two
people did not marry out of love, did not fall in love.
c. The dominant colours are white and red. White is a clear reference to the wedding ceremony.
Red may symbolize pain, suffering. It may also be used to attract our attention, to make us read
and react.
d. This poster was published in Great Britain by the Forced Marriage Unit. This campaign poster
was printed to illustrate the issue of forced marriage because forced marriages have led to
suicides and murders. The targets are South Asians in Britain. It is to prevent people from
yielding / submitting to force, to warn them that they can get support and if they are trapped
in such a situation, to warn people that Great Britain is a country where basic Human Rights
are enforced.
e. Réponse libre.

Informations complémentaires
Britain’s Forced Marriage Unit, established in 2005, receives around 5,000 calls and deals with
about 300 cases each year – figures that officials fear are just the tip of a very large iceberg.

I. Two hands are not entwined, they are close, but the fingers do not touch. There is no feeling,
no sign of affection.
The padlock is to be seen in the middle of the poster.
The background is white, as well as the bridegroom’s shirt which is to be seen in the top
right-hand corner.
The slogan is written in big red capital letters at the bottom of the poster.
We also notice a sentence, a phone number and an address at the very bottom.
II. 1. The two hands stand for people who were forced to marry the partner their parents
chose for them. They stand for all the people who were obliged / compelled to marry
against their will, all the people who are obedient and submissive. We can’t see these
people’s faces so that the people who are concerned can easily identify with them.

in full command of the scene. The young girl standing next to her may be her daughter. She
looks meek, submissive and obedient. The two women are both looking in the same direction.
The woman does not look satisfied at all. She looks quite scornful / contemptuous. Judging
from the background we may think this woman belongs to the upper class or the aristocracy.
The room looks big and luxurious, is overlooking a park. She may live in a mansion or a castle.
A waiter / butler can be seen standing in the background.

– “... lost my parents. It would “Mr Thomas Cardew [...] “... because he happened

Reactions
– “A hand-bag?” (l. 25)
– “I confess I feel somewhat
bewildered by what you have

6. Jack: May I ask you then what you would advise me to do? I need hardly say I would do
anything in the world to ensure Gwendolen’s happiness.
Lady Bracknell: I would strongly advise you, Mr Worthing, to try and acquire some relations
as soon as possible, and to make a definite effort to produce at any rate one parent, of
either sex, before the season is quite over.
Jack: Well, I don’t see how I could possibly manage to do that. I can produce the hand-bag
at any moment. It is in my dressing-room at home. I really think that should satisfy you,
Lady Bracknell.
Lady Bracknell: Me, sir! What has it to do with me? You can hardly imagine that I and Lord
Bracknell would dream of allowing our only daughter – a girl brought up with the utmost care
– to marry into a cloak-room, and form an alliance with a parcel? Good morning, Mr Worthing!
II. Les mots clés sont en gras dans le texte ci-dessous.
Approfondissement possible : Jack explains he has no idea who his parents are, because he
was found in a hand-bag in Victoria station. He was adopted by Mr Cardew. Lady Bracknell
is stunned, shocked, outraged and indignant. She makes fun of Jack’s origins, she looks down
on him. She is very haughty and scornful. She is obviously prejudiced against people who
are below / beneath her and do not belong to the same social class. She is stand-offish and
snobbish. She has no compassion for him, she is heartless and callous. She doesn’t think
much of an orphan who was adopted. The only thing that matters is his social status. That’s
why she rejects Jack’s offer, she disapproves of such a marriage. Even if Jack is ready to do
his best / utmost to make Gwendolen happy, Lady Bracknell does not care.

268 • UNIT 13
 Information complémentaire
The season (l. 39) is the London Season, i.e. a series of social events (Royal Ascot, etc.)
held every year in or near London and attended by people from the highest social class.

2. Recap
Les questions a. et b. seront traitées à l’aide du Workbook (rubrique Action!).
Productions possibles :
c. Jack must be disappointed, feel miserable, hopeless, at a loss. He must be devastated, he may
also feel humiliated. He answered honestly, was straightforward and outspoken: That’s why he
may resent being humiliated by Lady Bracknell. He is romantic and idealistic, but he only met
disdain. He realizes how snobbish Lady Bracknell is.
d. A really affectionate mother may want to know if Jack is really in love with her daughter
Gwendolen, what he likes, what his pastimes are. She may want to know what books he likes,
what sports he practises, she may want to know more about him and his father Mr Cardew.
The order in which she asks her questions is puzzling and reveals what her main concerns are.
She asks questions about secondary matters and comes to more serious matters afterwards.

> Mise en œuvre possible :
k On pourra fournir quelques suggestions de mise en scène :
– en entrant, Lady Bracknell prend le temps de regarder Jack de haut en bas, de le toiser
et de se montrer surprise ;
– avant que Jack ne prenne la parole après le départ de Gwendolen, Lady Bracknell peut
à nouveau le toiser et Jack peut baisser les yeux ;
– lorsque Jack préfère ne pas s’asseoir, Lady Bracknell peut poser son sac sans un mot
et le forcer à s’asseoir en lui tendant une chaise pour accentuer le comique ;
– elle peut regarder Jack droit dans les yeux ;
– lorsqu’elle dit That is satisfactory, elle peut marquer un temps d’arrêt : That is / satisfactory ;
– lorsque Jack raconte comment il a été trouvé, il peut jouer avec une chaise pour montrer
son embarras. Lorsqu’il dit I was found, il peut regarder le public ;
– la chaise peut être soulevée lorsqu’il dit : In a hand-bag et tomber lorsque Lady Bracknell
répond : A hand-bag?
– à la fin de la scène, Lady Bracknell doit être très calme et très dure, quitter la pièce
majestueusement sans un regard pour Jack.
k Pour l’activité de lecture à haute voix, on pourra appliquer les mêmes critères d’évaluation
que précédemment.

4. THE RIGHT DECISION MANUEL k P. 174

1. Understanding the text

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 103)

I. 1. we = Mrs Bennet and Mr Collins • you = Mr Bennet • he + his = Mr Collins • her = Lizzy
2. “You must come and make Lizzy marry Mr Collins” (l. 2)
3. ‘‘Come here, child,’’ cried her father as she appeared. ‘‘I have sent for you on an affair
of importance. I understand that Mr Collins has made you an offer of marriage. Is it true?’’
Elizabeth replied that it was. ‘‘Very well – and this offer of marriage you have refused?’’
‘‘I have, Sir.’’
‘‘Very well. We now come to the point. Your mother insists upon your accepting it. Is it not
so, Mrs Bennet?’’
‘‘Yes, or I will never see her again.’’
‘‘An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to
one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr Collins,
and I will never see you again if you do.’’
II. When Mrs Bennet learnt that her daughter had just refused Mr Collins’s proposal, she
was amazed / outraged / aghast and disappointed. She didn’t expect her daughter to
refuse such an offer. Her dreams were shattered, because she expected her daughter to
be submissive, obedient and docile. She immediately went to see Mr Bennet to make Lizzy
change her mind, to make her obey, to oblige / compel / force her to marry Mr Collins /
to use his authority / to be the go-between and support her. However Mr Bennet does
not side with his wife, but his daughter. He does not want to interfere with his daughter’s
decision. He wants her to be independent. He respects her decision, he refuses to impose
a decision on her. Unlike Mrs Bennet he respects her / Lizzy’s choice, he is understanding
and tolerant. He knows his daughter is independent, mature enough to defend her own
interests. He cares about her feelings, whereas Mrs Bennet wants to marry off her daughter
and does not take her feelings into account.

2. Recap
Les élèves s’appuieront sur leurs notes du Workbook (cf. réponse ci-dessus).
Prolongements possibles :
k What are Mrs Bennet’s feelings at the end of the scene?
Productions possibles : She must be mad at her husband because he did not side with her /
support her. She is outraged at her daughter’s decision. She never thought Lizzy could challenge
her authority. She must be desperate and drained. She certainly resents her husband’s
decision. Both her husband and her daughter have offended and ridiculed her.
k Role play
– Mrs Bennet meets her best friend and tells her what has just happened.
– Lizzy narrates the scene to one of her sisters.

b. – I know good from bad so I let anybody
have access to my Facebook page.
c. – It could help me go to bed earlier
and sleep.
– It could help me concentrate on my
homework.
– It could stop me spending hours chatting
with unknown people.
d. – When we are all dressed the same
way, we go unnoticed.
– Not only to prevent racketing but also
to diminish social differences.
Contre
– It’s impossible because I need to keep in
touch with my parents in case they need me.
– I can’t possibly imagine not keeping in
touch with my friends, even for a week.
– I don’t want anybody to have access
to private information about me.
– I think privacy is important.
– I don’t want my parents to interfere
with my private life. I’m old enough to be
independent.
– I need my access to the Internet to do my
homework even at 11 p.m.
– I don’t think it helps. Criminals want to
rob us of our MP3 players or up-to-date
cellphones, smart phones.
– They are not really interested in clothes.

en leur demandant de trouver la solution d’énigmes policières (Tune in, The Wembly
Kidnapping), de remettre un texte dans l’ordre (Scream) ou d’écrire une histoire à partir
d’illustrations. Vu le succès actuel des différentes séries policières à la télévision, il y a fort
à parier que ce thème les motive. Enfin, cela leur permettra de découvrir deux grands noms
de ce genre littéraire : Sir Arthur Conan Doyle et Mary Higgins Clark.

 TUNE IN! MANUEL k P. 186-187

1. Case study
> Mises en œuvre possibles :
k Dans le cadre d’une classe fragile, on pourra (grâce à un scan ou une photocopie)
commencer par montrer le texte dans le désordre et garder les images dans l’ordre. On
pourra aussi faire l’inverse. Les élèves devront lire le texte et réordonner le récit, puis
répondre aux questions p. 187.
k On pourrait aussi commencer par donner à une moitié de la classe les images dans
l’ordre, à l’autre les textes dans le désordre. Ceux qui ont les images les décrivent à l’autre
groupe. Les élèves doivent lever le doigt dès qu’ils savent de quelle image il s’agit.
k On peut aussi tout simplement faire découvrir le texte et les images dans l’ordre et
procéder à un travail individuel ou en binômes sur les questions a, b, c et d, suivi d’un
compte rendu oral à la classe. La question e pourra être soumise à la classe entière.
Productions possibles :
b. The story is about a young man, James Trudd, who killed his Uncle Tobias. He arranged things
so that the police thought his Uncle Tobias committed suicide.
c. James Trudd shot his uncle in the head at four o’clock. He ramaged through his papers. James
left his uncle slumped across his desk. He was probably in his office writing letters.
d. On organisera un travail en binômes ou en groupes. Les élèves utiliseront la colonne clues
de la rubrique Help! ainsi que les amorces proposées pour expliquer comment l’inspecteur
Key a résolu l’affaire.
Plusieurs versions devraient être suggérés et on poussera les élèves à réagir et à interroger
leur camarade pour avoir des compléments d’information. Ils utiliseront l’aide à l’expression
de la fiche « Prendre part à une conversation » (p. 180-181). Les productions des élèves
feront l’objet d’une trace écrite.
Productions possibles :
– He could guess James was the murderer as Uncle Tobias couldn’t have posted the letter
after 4:30, which is the approximate time of his death. He should have posted the letter
before killing himself, and then his letter would have been collected at 4:30. Yet the time
when the mail is supposed to be collected is 8:30 in the morning on the following day. It is
always printed / stamped on the envelope.
– Judging from the handwriting on the envelope, Inspector Key came to the conclusion that
Uncle Tobias didn’t write the letter. He compared James’s and Tobias’s handwritings and he
realized that James’s handwriting corresponded to the one on the envelope.
– Judging from Uncle Tobias’s handwriting, Inspector Key concluded that he was right-handed
so someone put the gun in his left hand. The inspector could see that the weapon was in
Uncle Tobias’s left hand so he couldn’t have shot himself in the head.
– Solving the mystery wasn’t difficult since James did not wear gloves and left his fingerprints
on the weapon, on the envelope...
– Following James’s track was easy as the saliva on the envelope was analysed and James’s
DNA was certainly found.
– After investigating, Inspector Key found the train times in the basket so he assumed that
James had come by train to murder his uncle.

UNIT 14 • 281
UNIT
14 A MIND TO MURDER

e. On demandera enfin aux élèves de bien expliquer les motivations du meurtrier.

Productions possibles : Uncle Tobias wanted to disinherit his nephew after he was told James
disobeyed him and married Helen secretly, a marriage Uncle Tobias disapproved of / objected to.
James was mad at his uncle after reading that he wanted to change his will to disinherit him. James
didn’t accept the fact he was no longer Uncle Tobias’s heir. He is greedy for money and wants to
lead an easy life with his new bride. That’s the reason why James decided to shoot his uncle.

2. It sounds intriguing

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 105)

1. Sounds not heard: the howling of a dog • a child weeping (= crying) • rain falling
1. tyres crunching • 2. sudden braking • 3. echoing footsteps • 4. a body bumping into
a car • 5. people yelling at each other • 6. gun shooting • 7. people running • 8. blood
dripping on plastic

b. On incitera les élèves à justifier leur choix à l’aide d’un exemple clair.
Productions possibles :
The atmosphere is tense and gloomy because I can hear echoing footsteps so I think the
scene may take place in a car park / parking lot and it must be badly lit.
I can hear tyres crunching so I understand something is going to happen, something
threatening.
It’s scary because I can hear people yelling at each other but I don’t really understand what
they are talking about and why they are arguing.
The atmosphere is frightening and creepy because I can hear gun shooting but I don’t know
whether someone died or not.
It’s weird because I can hear something dripping on plastic so I realize it must be blood /
someone must be bleeding and it’s disturbing.

3. Writing workshop
> Mises en œuvre possibles :
k Les élèves trouveront une aide à l’expression écrite pour rédiger ce dialogue p. 225 du
manuel et p. 105 du Workbook.
k Pour réaliser cette activité, on divisera la classe en plusieurs groupes et on distribuera
à chaque groupe un transparent sur lequel les élèves écriront leur dialogue.
k La correction se fera au rétroprojecteur : on étudiera les propositions de chacun des
groupes et on concentrera l’attention de toute la classe sur une production écrite.
Productions possibles :
POLICE OFFICER: “What did you see on that night?”
WITNESS: “At first I didn’t see much... I heard tyres crunching and a sudden braking so I thought
someone may have been knocked over.”
POLICE OFFICER: “What did you do then?”

282 • UNIT 14
 WITNESS: “Well... I decided to check on what happened. As I was going towards the place
where the car stopped, I could hear echoing footsteps, someone walking calmly, so I thought
no one was hurt. Everything seemed under control!”
POLICE OFFICER: “Did you see someone at that moment?”
WITNESS: “Well... No, I was about to go back to my car when suddenly I heard people yelling
at each other. They sounded really furious. I felt something very dangerous was going on
so I decided to hide. Immediately after, I heard people running and something bumping into
a car body. I realized someone was hiding behind the same car as me. That’s when I first
saw someone. He looked really cross. And then I heard gun shooting. I was afraid of being
wounded!”
POLICE OFFICER: “What did the man next to you do then?”
WITNESS: “Not much, because the other person got into his car and left and I heard blood
dripping on plastic (he was carrying a plastic bag). He was wounded but I did not have time
to help him because he jumped into his car and drove away at full speed!”

14 A MIND TO MURDER

k Les élèves seront invités à poser des questions pour obtenir des éclaircissements sur
certains aspects du texte qu’ils auront moins compris / approfondis.
k Les productions des élèves constitueront la trace écrite.

CORRIGÉ DE LA FICHE DU WORKBOOK (P. 106-107)

➼ RECAP 1 (ATMOSPHERE)
1. The scene is set at night. It’s pitch dark so the atmosphere is scary, gloomy and threatening.
Moreover the weather conditions are wild and awful since the wind is howling and the rain is
splashing against the windows. There’s an unusual, violent gale outside and consequently the
atmosphere is disturbing. As some weird noises and sounds can be heard such as a whistle
or clanging, the atmosphere is more and more tense and frightening. It’s even creepy / spooky
as the sounds remain unidentified / the noises cannot be recognized.
2. The reader feels puzzled because it is impossible to identify / recognize the strange noises.
The reader fears / dreads that something terrible / dreadful may happen to Helen and his
sister. Consequently the reader feels anxious.

➼ RECAP 2 (HELEN STONER)

3. Helen is really nervous and scared to death because of her sister’s terrible scream. She
knows something dreadful has happened, though she doesn’t know what. She doesn’t
know what she is going to discover and yet she rushes to her sister’s bedroom. Although
she is really frightened, she runs to help her sister and she is very upset when she sees
her sister’s state. However supportive she may have been, she couldn’t help her sister.
When she sees her sister collapse / faint she is really protective and caring with her. She
is absolutely terrified by her sister’s words and gesture towards the doctor’s room because
she doesn’t really understand what she wanted to tell her.

➼ RECAP 3 (HELEN’S TWIN SISTER)

4. Helen’s sister can be associated with a ghost / zombie because her face is pale / white
and her hands are groping for help. She behaves like a drunkard as she sways to and fro.
She doesn’t seem to be in good health because she writhes as if she suffered terribly. She
seems to be on the verge of collapsing because her body sways, her limbs are convulsed
and her knees seem to give way. She looks like somebody about to die since she falls to the
ground.
5. She reveals to her sister what she saw (a speckled band) and the place (the doctor’s room)
where something suspicious may come from.

➼ SUMMARY 4 (TECHNIQUE USED)

6. In order to create suspense the writer sets up a spooky / gloomy atmosphere. The scene
takes place at night: The weather is wild and threatening. Helen (the main character) is
nervous and terrified, that’s why the reader fears that something dreadful (= terrible) may
take place. Because Helen’s sister looks like a ghost and mentions “a speckled band” that
could be a snake, the reader feels frightened / worried about what may happen. Besides,
Helen’s sister dies at the end of the text so the reader is anxious about Helen’s future.

 2. SOLVE IT! MANUEL k P. 190-191

> Mises en œuvre possibles :

k Tous les élèves feront le travail d’anticipation (Get ready) qui permettra de mettre en
place le lexique lié à l’enlèvement.
k On pourra ensuite former des binômes ou des groupes pour traiter les questions de
l’activité 2. Cette phase d’élucidation sera suivie de comptes rendus oraux. Lors de la
confrontation des hypothèses, on incitera les élèves à réagir aux solutions proposées par
leurs camarades, à les confirmer ou les infirmer. La question d sera traitée collectivement.
k Les élèves devraient se rendre compte qu’Eric n’ayant vu que le dos de son agresseur,
il ne peut avoir remarqué qu’il portait un cardigan et que c’est bien lui (et non la police) qui
a fourni cet élément comme indice. Il y a tout lieu de penser qu’il a menti. Mais on prendra
en compte toutes les hypothèses données par les élèves si elles sont argumentées.
k À noter que ce texte est enregistré sur le CD classe n°3, piste 13.

1. Get ready
Productions possibles :
– To me the word “kidnapping” suggests someone is kept prisoner. Criminals kidnapped this
person to ask the family for a ransom (most of the time money, banknotes, bills). The person
has chains and is gagged so that (s)he cannot escape / run away, scream or speak…
– Réponse libre.
– On that photograph, the man is running away from a danger. He may be running away from
the police. He may have committed a crime, mugged someone, robbed a jewellery. He looks
scared, he is looking to see who is chasing him, if he can escape, he has time to hide. He
may also have witnessed a crime and does not want to be caught by the criminals. He may
manage to outrun his aggressors, they will lose track of him and he will go home safe and
sound. He may also be killed, and the criminals will get rid of the only witness.
Quelle que soit l’approche choisie, il faudra s’assurer que les élèves comprennent bien un
certain nombre de mots du texte comme drop site, cardigan, vicinity, garbage, nearby. On
pourra anticiper les difficultés liées au lexique grâce à l’activité suivante.

Match each word with its definition.

1. drop site a. nearness, neighbourhood
2. cardigan b. rubbish, things you put in the dustbin
3. garbage c. not far of
4. vicinity d. predetermined location for the deposit of illicit goods
5. nearby e. collarless woollen jacket that buttons up the front

2. Understanding the text

Productions possibles :
b. – The kidnapping must have taken place on Tuesday since Wink Wembly had been missing
since Tuesday. Jonas Wembly (Wink’s father) was called by a lone kidnapper on the following
day and asked for a ransom.

UNIT 14 • 287
UNIT
14 A MIND TO MURDER

– Eric (Jonas Wembly’s younger son) was asked to bring the money (half a million dollars in
unmarked banknotes / bills) in a duffel bag to a nearby park. He had to follow a specific route
from the mansion where he lived. He was required to park in a downtown lot and to follow an
alley to the drop site at midnight. He was attacked halfway through the alley.
– Eric was knocked / hit on the head. But he was not knocked out. However he could only
see his aggressor’s back, although the action took place near / by a street lamp. That’s why
his description was vague.
c. – Both suspects (Petey Bordon and Amie Acker) were arrested in the vicinity. One of them
(Petey Bordon) was found two blocks from the attack.
– Petey Bordon was carrying a knife. That’s one of the reasons why he was kept prisoner.
Amie Acker was wearing a moth-eaten cardigan but he said he had picked it out just before the
policemen arrested him, which corresponded to Eric’s description of his aggressor’s appearance.
– Petey Bordon ran away as soon as he saw the patrol car, that’s why he was arrested. Then
the police officers realized that he had committed misdemeanours and that he was on parole.
Petey Bordon explained to the police that he ran away because he was carrying a knife
(though he was not allowed to) and was afraid of being arrested. Amie Acker is homeless and
he was wearing a cardigan, which is suspect for the policemen.
d. According to Eric Wembly, he could never see his aggressor’s face. He only saw his back so
his description cannot be precise. Yet he could mention a few details; for example that his
aggressor was tall, that he was wearing white sneakers, blue jeans and a dark cardigan.
e. – The clues given by Eric were the duffel bag, the white sneakers, the blue jeans, the dark
cardigan and the fact that the suspect is tall. The clues found by the police were suspects
arrested in the vicinity, one of them committed misdemeanours and was carrying a knife, the
other is homeless. Both had no alibi.
– The suspect must be Eric because he said he could only see his aggressor’s back and yet
he mentions a dark cardigan in his description which suggests he could see the buttons on
the sweater. He contradicted himself and that’s what the chief inspector noticed so he knew
that Eric Wembly lied and may have arranged the kidnapping with his brother to take money
from their father.
The suspect must be Petey Bordon because he was carrying a knife to protect himself. Moreover
he is a criminal with a record and is used to committing misdemeanours. He may have shifted to
more serious problems this time.
It can’t be Petey Bordon because he was carrying a knife and he would have used it during
the attack.
I’ve changed my mind. Now I think it’s Petey Bordon because he is on parole so he has
already been to prison maybe for a kidnapping.

3. Writing workshop
a. On acceptera les réponses en français pour cette activité de repérage et de réflexion sur la
langue.
Réponses :
– Le segment de phrase qui est au style direct est : “I know we should have called the police.”
On l’identifie facilement puisqu’il est entre guillemets.
– « reconnut Eric Wembly alors qu’il soignait la bosse à l’arrière de son crâne. » En français,
on place le verbe qui introduit le style indirect avant le sujet. En anglais, c’est l’inverse.

288 • UNIT 14
b. et c. On incitera les élèves à utiliser un maximum de verbes introducteurs et d’adverbes.
On divisera la classe en plusieurs groupes à qui on distribuera un transparent sur lequel les
élèves rédigeront leur dialogue.
On fera ensuite une correction collective au (rétro)projecteur pour chaque dialogue proposé.
Productions possibles :
Wink Wembly has been missing since last Tuesday. It’s Wednesday, the phone rings and Jonas,
who is furious, answers the phone...
“Wink? Is it you? Where on earth have you been since...,” Jonas Wembly said.
“I’m the one who gives orders now. Get it?” the kidnapper warned impatiently.
Jonas Wembly was perplexed.
“Who’s speaking?” he asked drily.
“Shut up!” the kidnapper replied rudely. “Your son, Wink, has been kidnapped. You’ll have to
do exactly what I’m telling you to do and you’d better not call the police... if not...” he said
threateningly.
Jonas Wembly realized it was serious and started listening carefully.
“I want half a million dollars in unmarked bills for midnight,” he yelled.
“It’s too short...” Jonas Wembly told the kidnapper.
“I want your son Eric to take the money in a duffel bag to Meredith Park. He will drive from
your mansion to a downtown lot near the Town Hall where he’ll park. Then he’ll walk through
the main alley in the park and hide the bag in the small roundabout,” he ordered loudly.
“OK!”Jonas said.
“And remember, don’t call the police!” the kidnapper repeated impatiently.

Les élèves pourront utiliser le vocabulaire donné p. 187 (activité 2).
Productions possibles : It’s twilight. The scene is set in winter because the trees have no
leaves. The house / mansion / manor looks old and the atmosphere is strange because a
window is open in a room with the light on and a curtain is blowing through the window. A
burglar may have just come into / left the mansion and may have stolen money or valuable
paintings... It looks creepy / spooky / gloomy / scary…

6. a) “Suddenly she stopped. It’s not just the hall light. I left the door to their room open so I
could hear them if they woke up. The night-light in the room should be showing. The door’s
closed.”
b) She realizes that unusual, weird things take place in the mansion. She no longer thinks a
fuse has blown again.
II. ➼ RECAP 1 (ATMOSPHERE)
The hall light was turned off though she is convinced she had left it on. She is sure that she
heard a cry. She is sure that she left the twins’ bedroom door open (in case she could hear a
cry) and now the door is closed. So now the house is all dark and silent and gloomy. Because
she noticed all these disturbing, unusual elements, the atmosphere is tense end even scary.
➼ RECAP 2 (THE WOMAN)
Trish is suspicious because she remembers that she left the hall light on and it’s off now.
She wonders if another fuse blew. Then she is puzzled and she doubts whether she heard
a cry coming from the twins’ bedroom or not. Yet she is convinced that something weird,
unusual happens in the mansion so she is on the alert. She goes up to the twins’ bedroom
to check on them. She is anxious when she sees the twins’ bedroom door is closed. She
realizes she couldn’t have heard a cry if the bedroom door was closed and she knows she
left it open. Now she is panic-stricken. She’s anxious about the twins.

Productions possibles : First in the afternoon the light in the kitchen went off because a fuse
had blown. That’s why Trish first thought another fuse had blown when she noticed the light hall
she had left on was off now. Then she heard a cry and thought probably one of the twins had cried
during her sleep. Consequently she decided to go up to see if everything was all right / to check
on them. Suddenly she realized the bedroom door she had left open was closed now. However she
was positive she had left it open because she couldn’t have heard any cry if it was closed!

selon eux. Ils devront justifier leur réponse puis réagir aux suggestions de leurs camarades
à l’aide de la fiche « Prendre part à une converesation » p. 180-181. La bonne réponse est E.
Productions possibles :
To my mind it can’t be D because only Trish was mentioned in the text and in this ending
there are two characters (“we, us”).
That’s quite right. I suppose it’s B because Trish was so panic-stricken when she realized the
bedroom door was closed that I’m convinced she started screaming. I’m persuaded someone
entered the house, turned the hall light off, scared one of the twins and closed the door.
I don’t agree with you. I think it’s C because Trish heard a cry already and in this ending the
word “sound” is mentioned.
I don’t see it that way. In my opinion it’s not C because in this ending someone was supposed
to be with Trish, to have left and to come back now and no one was mentioned in the text.
Secondly the sound is not a cry but something thudding at the door.
Certainly not! Don’t forget that the link word “suddenly” has been used twice in the text
already. So I think it’s E. Trish heard a sound already and the heroine in the ending hears a
sound too. Trish was panic-stricken and anxious and now she is frightened. Tension has built
up and reached its climax.
I think you’re wrong because she identified the sound as soft footsteps. However in the text it
is said that the steps creaked under Trish’s feet so how can footsteps be soft in such an old
house!
That’s all very well but don’t you think that it’s A? She didn’t expect someone to come tonight
but this person eventually turned up and this explains all the weird incidents that happened.
I’ve changed my mind. I think it’s A...
d. The sound of darkness • A stranger in the night • How intriguing!

3. Recap
Productions possibles :
a. The South African population is composed of Blacks, Whites, Coloureds and Asians. People are
of mixed origins. South Africa is an ethnic mosaic. The Rainbow Nation refers to the diverse mix
of people, cultures and religions living together in one country. Archbishop Desmond Tutu is said
to have coined the phrase at the end of the apartheid regime in South Africa.
b. Black, gold and green, which were first incorporated into South African national flags in the
19th century, also feature prominently in the flags of the liberation movements, particularly
the African National Congress (ANC), the Pan-African Congress (PAC) and Inkatha. These
colours can thus be said to broadly represent the country’s black population.
Blue, white, red and green reflect the British and Dutch (later Boer) influence, as shown in
the earliest flags flown in South Africa, and also featured prominently in the old South African
national flag (1928-1994) and thus represent the white population of South Africa.
The green pall (the Y-shape) is commonly interpreted to mean the unification of the various
ethnic groups and the moving forward into a new united South Africa (www.flagspot.net/
flags/za.html - col).

Informations complémentaires
k At the end of the 17th century, French, German and Dutch Protestants emigrated to the
Cape of Good Hope, a Dutch territory on the route to Java. They quickly drove native Africans
off their lands. Then the British conquered the colony in 1806. But the early settlers called
Boers rebelled against their domination. In 1910 the four united provinces of Transvaal,
Orange, Natal and the Cape formed the South African Union which became a republic in
1961, when it withdrew from the Commonwealth.
k Apartheid is an Afrikaans word (Afrikaans is the language spoken by Afrikaners). In
Afrikaans it means separate evolution, and is a formal system of racial segregation which
started in 1913 and was reinforced in 1948. For non-Whites, it implied:
– No voting rights and no political representation.
– No relations with Whites except at work.
– Townships (such as Soweto) for Blacks and Coloureds who were excluded from white
towns from 1955 onwards.
– Passbooks which were necessary to work in white areas.
– Blacks were stripped of their citizenship, legally becoming citizens of one of ten tribally
based self-governing homelands or bantustans (Bophuthatswana, Ciskei, Transkei,
Vendaland…).
– Social and economic discrimination.

I was with my father. Suddenly a noise could be heard. We saw police vans coming at full speed.
All of a sudden they stopped and checked a black woman’s passbook. As she didn’t have her
papers, they brutally arrested her. She clung to her baby, but the policemen ruthlessly threw it
on the ground. She was yelling, screaming out of fear. Another woman picked up the baby and
saved it. The woman was taken to prison. Afterwards, I was shocked. I couldn’t do anything.
I was lying on the sofa when my parents came into the room. They both explained what
apartheid meant. I couldn’t help being outraged and feeling compassion for these innocent

k 1980s: end of the rebellion
2. k two languages: Afrikaans, English k two groups of people: Blacks, Whites
3. In June 1976 the schoolchildren protested against the supremacy of English / the state’s
decision to introduce Afrikaans in all African schools / that they must be taught Afrikaans,
which was regarded as the language of the oppressor. Many young people were inspired by
the ideas of Steve Biko and the Black Consciousness Movement. This system, called “gutter
education”, was designed to train African people to accept a subservient role in society.
“Blacks are not dutsbins” is one of the demonstrators’ slogans. The peaceful demonstration
turned to riots and many children died. The riots extended to the rest of South Africa and
many people died claiming their rights. The riots lasted until the mid-1980s.

II. 1. From 1976 to the mid-eighties young people demonstrated against the government decision
to teach them Afrikaans instead of English. They complained about this unfair decision. But
the police crushed the riots. As a consequence, the number of casualties was high, many
people were killed, arrested or deported.
2. Grace is the narrator. She witnessed the scene. Schoolchildren protested against the
supremacy of English. They demanded equal rights, a better education, that they should
be treated on an equal footing, that they should not be discriminated against. The police
resorted to arms and violence. Police trucks invaded the area and started shooting at
the demonstrators to crush the riot. It looks as if it were a war. The whole scene gives an
impression of violence. Violence is deliberate, shocking. It was all the more shocking since
the young girl was killed, although she was harmless / helpless / weak / defenceless /
powerless. The police seem heartless / merciless / pitiless / ruthless. It was so awful /
appalling / dreadful, that Blacks retaliated / hit back. They did not have any sophisticated
equipment. It was David versus Goliath. Violence spread to the rest of the country. The death
toll was quite high. Dumi was arrested, was ill-treated, but he came back home determined
to keep fighting against an unfair system; he had become more radical. The goal of the whole
text is to make the reader side with the victims, innocent civilians. The narrator wants to
arouse pity and compassion for the children, to make us feel indignant and outraged. The goal
is also to condemn the government’s attitude during the riots, to show that Blacks were the
victims of sheer violence and hatred.

Prolongement possible : on invitera les élèves à lire le livre de Beverly Naidoo, ouvrage
destiné à la jeunesse qui est tout à fait à leur portée. Ce sera un excellent entraînement

MANDELA CELEBRATES 90TH BIRTHDAY
Guess who is turning 90 years old today? Here is a clue: “Happy birthday… Mr Nelson
Mandela.” Some kids singing Happy Birthday to Nelson Mandela, elder statesman, Nobel
prize-winner and South Africa’s first democratically elected leader. Here is NPR Ofeibea
Quist-Arcton.
Nelson Mandela and many others spent decades in prison. They dedicated their lives to
the anti-apartheid struggle and fought for liberation and equality in a free democratic and
non-racial South Africa. The first time many heard Mandela’s voice, it was in court in the
1960s. He was on trial, charged with treason. In this crackling vintage recording, Mandela
defended his actions to end white minority rule.
“It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to see realized. But, My Lord, if needs be, it is an
ideal for which I am prepared to die.”
Nelson Mandela was found guilty in 1964 and began serving arguably the most celebrated
life-sentence in history.
“Free, free, free Nelson Mandela.”
27 years later, on February 11th 1990, Mandela was a free man released from jail. In 1994
he was elected South Africa’s first black President heading a multi-racial government.
“I, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela do hereby swear to be faithful to the Republic of South Africa,
so help me God.”
Praise singers, presidents and paupers celebrated the inauguration of Nelson Mandela. After
five years as President he handed over the reins of power. But Mandela kept working at the
grand old age of 86, after dedicating himself to children, education and a new struggle: the
fight against HIV / AIDS.

Productions possibles : Mandela was born on July 1918. He was the leader of the ANC and
fought against apartheid. He was arrested and taken to jail where he served a 27-year sentence
on Robben Island. He became a symbol of freedom and equality. Apartheid was abolished in
South Africa in 1992. A year later Mandela and F.W. De Klerk, the white President, who officially
announced the end of apartheid, were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. A year later in 1994
Mandela became the first democratically elected President of South Africa. Since he resigned
in 1999 Mandela has devoted his time and energy to fighting against AIDS.

c. The figures given are huge and alarming. They underline that AIDS is a widespread phenomenon,
that it is a scourge that is plaguing South Africa. I am shocked, outraged, I didn’t know so many
lives were threatened. AIDS is taking its toll and the number of victims is colossal. The problem
South Africa has to cope with is daunting. HIV/AIDS is a demographic time bomb; the potential
damage it can cause to South Africa, its society and economy, is incalculable.

Informations complémentaires
• Sur le site suivant vous trouverez beaucoup d’informations très précieuses :
www.csa.za.org/filemanager/download/18/ Managing the impact of HIV/ ...
• South Africa has the fastest growing HIV/AIDS epidemic in the world, with more people
infected than in any other country in the world. Over four million people, about one in every
eight adults, are HIV+. At least 20% of adults are infected.
HIV/AIDS is spreading dramatically in South Africa because of:
– the legacy of apartheid and the migrant labour system;
– the disruption of family and communal life;
– a good transport infrastructure and high mobility (allowing the spread of HIV into new
communities);
– high levels of poverty and income inequality;

– very high levels of other STDs;

– the low status of women;
– social norms which accept or encourage high numbers of sexual partners;
– resistance to the use of condoms.

2. Understanding the text

> Mise en œuvre possible
k Le texte peut être travaillé en entier par la classe entière.
k On peut aussi envisager que les élèves lisent tout le texte, mais n’étudient en détail
qu’un de ses aspects. Cela permettra de traiter le texte beaucoup plus rapidement. On
désignera un rapporteur ou plusieurs rapporteurs par groupe, la reprise sera collective
et des notes seront prises par les autres groupes sur les parties non étudiées. Elles seront
synthétisées à l’aide d’un tableau semblable à celui proposé ci-dessous.
k Le groupe d’élèves les plus fragiles pourra être le groupe 1, car les questions sont les
plus factuelles, même si elles sont disséminées dans la partie 1.
k À noter que ce texte est enregistré sur le CD classe n°3, piste 21.

GROUP 1
a. The Agape orphanage
Origin of the word “Agape is a Greek word meaning unconditional love” (l. 4)
Where in KwaZulu-Natal
“Agape is half-an-hour inland from Durban, in a Zulu area called
Valley of a Thousand Hills. Agape is in fact on the edge of the
white neighbourhood of Waterfall, an affluent village” (l. 13)
When Gogo set it up in the late 1990s.

b. Gogo
Job, origin, social worker
personality “Gogo is a big woman with a big personality. She has a huge, throaty
laugh, wears a fur hat even in summer and explodes with charm.” (l. 2)
“she beams” (l. 4)
Goals “A lot of people she was dealing with were HIV-positive and their main
concern was what would happen to their children when they passed
away. So she said, ‘I’ll look after them.’” (l. 20)
Problems “Agape had problems in the early days with local residents not
met wanting it there” (l. 17)
“She found a piece of land with some shipping containers, with no
windows or anything and had 60 kids in there on mattresses. It was
a real struggle.” (l. 24)

308 • UNIT 15
Approfondissement possible : Gogo is a generous, warm-hearted, loving person. She is
friendly and welcoming. She seems to be radiant and she certainly has a strong personality.
She can be admired because she fought against deep-rooted prejudices, people who were
hostile to HIV patients. She rescued children who had lost their families, who felt emotionally
devastated and lonely. They were vulnerable and she thought it was her duty to get a shelter,
food, clothes and to defend them. She knew orphans would be destitute and in dire straits.
She was their saviour. The place she found was derelict, dilapidated and shabby. But she
managed to give these children a proper place they could live in. She helped them overcome
hardship and loss.

GROUP 2
a. Paul’s portrait
Age in his early twenties
Studies “the end of his first year [at university]” (l. 10)
Nationality British (but no clue is given in the article)

b. Paul’s project
How did he get to “I came across this volunteer project on the internet. Agape.
know about Agape? It was really random.” (l. 12)
How long did “I knew I wanted to spend three months in one place” (l. 11)
he stay there?
What were “he wanted to go travelling […] and do something a little bit
his goals? different” (l. 10)
What influence did “has clearly changed [Paul Taylor’s] life, and not just in
this experience terms of his career.” (l. 6)
have on him? “They’re remarkable kids because whatever situation they’re
in, however difficult it is, they always see the positive. They
have enough reasons in their life to be really down, but they
never were. It made a big impact on me.” (l. 7)
“They’re so endearing, so loveable! I never imagined I would
have so much fun, just with the kids.” (l. 32)
What problems was “So, scraping together £6,000 from family, credit cards and
he confronted with? Theatrecares, an AIDS charity, Taylor went back to Agape.” (l. 38)

Approfondissement possible : Paul wanted to have a few months off and a unique opportunity
to mix with local people / to have contacts / to communicate. He needed a challenge, to stay
somewhere long enough to meet people, to develop relationships, to understand the inhabitants
and their local customs. He needed a constructive / educational / enriching / satisfying
experience. He wanted to broaden his horizons. Once he had been there he wanted to do more,
he was even more committed to helping them. He did his best to help them overcome their
difficulties.

GROUP 3
a. What happened main house at the orphanage burnt down
to the orphanage?

the fire.” (l. 56)

film We Are Together : www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpX4JGn4PzU

3. Writing workshop
Productions possibles : Agape is an orphanage founded by Gogo, a social worker. This
generous woman wanted to welcome children who had lost their parents to AIDS. She is
devoted to helping them survive. Paul Taylor, a student, came to Agape by chance and was
deeply impressed by the kids’ energy and enthusiasm. He came back a few months later to
shoot a film there. Unfortunately the orphanage burnt down. Gogo decided to record a CD
with traditional Zulu songs. One day Alicia Keyes, a pop star, heard them and the children
went to New York City to give a concert. The film and the concert helped them raise enough
money to rebuild the orphanage.

We are immediately struck by this slum / shanty town. The ground is littered with sand, a
bath tub and cardboard. It looks messy. The area looks shabby and dilapidated. The barrels /
plastic containers outside the houses reveal that the inhabitants have no running water and no
modern conveniences. They are deprived of modern conveniences / of basic necessities. The
inhabitants’ standard of living is low, they live in appalling / dreadful / awful conditions. They
are in dire straits. They must live below the poverty line. They are needy / destitute. People are

Ce paragraphe pourra être rédigé individuellement ou en binômes, en classe ou à la maison.
Productions possibles : Soweto is an acronym for “South Western Townships”. It is an urban
area near Johannesburg, South Africa. During the apartheid regime, Soweto was a segregated
residential settlement for Blacks, located outside the white city. Blacks and Coloureds were
excluded from white towns from 1955 onwards. Soweto became famous in 1976, when riots
broke out over the government’s decision to enforce education in Afrikaans rather than English.
Today, Soweto is a black-dominated city. Although great progress has been made, many people
still live without electricity or running water, are still faced with dire poverty. Townships are poor
areas where people live below the poverty line but where the future seems bright.

1. a. laws • huge • gulf • ideal • equality • mountain • climb • equal • journey
b. Now the government is chosen by all South African people, black and white, and
there are no more apartheid laws. But changing “the way things are” is much harder
than just changing the laws. There is a huge gulf between rich and poor, between
“haves” and “have-nots” and we must never forget to strive for the ideal of equality
for all. We still have an enormous mountain to climb if every child is to have an equal
chance. The journey continues...

1. There are four times as many Whites as Indian / Asian people. Whites represent one tenth
of the population.
There are as many Coloureds as Whites.
Zulus make up 21 percent of the population.
There are fewer Xhosas than Zulus / more Zulus than Xhosas.
Zulus represent nearly a quarter of the population.
African people represent three quarters of the population.
2. a. Since the fall of apartheid the economic situation has improved and race relations have
evolved in South Africa. However, the country still faces two major issues: poverty and the
rise of HIV. The country faces a human catastrophe as HIV spreads at a phenomenal rate.
b. Hundreds of thousands of people still live under the poverty line in townships without
electricity or running water. The unemployment rate is still very high. There is a huge gap
between the haves and the have-nots. The government also have to cope with an alarming
crime rate: murders, rapes, assaults. South Africans are still optimistic because they believe
they will one day bridge the gap between the rich and the poor, eradicate deep-rooted
prejudices and overcome most of their difficulties.

314 • UNIT 15
Productions possibles : This is a very satirical cartoon. It lists / denounces / exposes all the
problems South Africa has been confronted with since the dismantling of apartheid. Assault
and muggings are commonplace. Theft is a common feature of the post-apartheid era. It is also
characterized by a culture of drunkenness (intoxicated pedestrians = drunk). Poverty is another
scourge (beggars stand at the traffic lights). Many people live below the poverty line, are in dire
straits. The unemployment rate is very high. Corruption is rampant (school exam papers being
sold). Gang warfare also plagues the country (taxi war in progress). Drug dealing is alarming.
People do not abide by the laws and use their mobiles while driving. Soccer fans can also get
mad, can’t be controlled. Through the use of road signs, the artist wants to sensitize the reader
to the situation in South Africa today. It is a very pessimistic and gloomy vision of a country that
has to cope with huge problems / massive socio-economic problems. It still has
to overcome high levels of poverty and crime.

16 JAMAICAN COLOURS OF LONDON

Jamaican colours of London

Grâce à cette unité nous avons souhaité placer dans une perspective historique le Notting
Hill Carnival, qui, aujourd’hui, est devenu le plus grand festival de rue d’Europe. Loin d’être
un épiphénomène, cette manifestation puise ses racines dans l’histoire de l’immigration
jamaïcaine en Angleterre et, à travers elle, dans la notion même de Commonwealth,
à laquelle les élèves seront sensibilisés en douceur. Aborder les flux migratoires nous
semblait en outre indispensable afin de traiter le concept de « Lien social » inscrit au

TUNE IN! MANUEL k P. 210

1. Get ready
k La première question donnera lieu à un brainstorming. Les élèves seront invités
à mentionner des monuments ou des endroits dont ils ont entendu parler ou qu’ils
connaissent. Le professeur illustrera ce que certains élèves disent en montrant des photos
des monuments et endroits de Londres les plus célèbres.
k Dans le cas d’une classe fragile, des aides lexicales pourront être écrites au tableau,
données sous forme de photocopies ou (rétro)projetées.
Amorces : the word makes me think of… • it reminds me of…
Lexique : well-known = famous for • busy = lively • exciting = thrilling • picturesque: pittoresque
• amazing: étonnant • impressive: impressionnant • traditional ≠ trendy, fashionable

2. React to this photograph

N. B. : la photo de la sculpture Giant Swimmer est disponible sur le transparent n° 16.

a. Deux approches sont possibles ici :

k Découverte collective : la classe peut découvrir le document dans son ensemble et
réagir immédiatement, puis étudier la photo.
k Image morcelée : on peut aussi morceler l’image. À l’aide d’un cache en papier, couvrir
la pelouse et le second plan et ne montrer au (rétro)projecteur que la statue. Les élèves
pourront alors émettre des hypothèses : What can you see? What do you think it is? Where
do you think it is? On enlèvera ensuite le cache et les élèves pourront découvrir le restant
de l’image. On exploitera alors à chaud leurs réactions.
Productions possibles : What is this? It’s strange / weird, intriguing, puzzling. There is a
huge statue buried in the earth. It represents a swimmer. We can only see half of his body.
We immediately notice his arm, this athlete is muscular. He is wearing a blue swimming-
costume and goggles. He is breathing. It looks as if the lawn were / was a swimming-pool
or the sea. It is quite unexpected to see such statues on lawns. It is clever/ smart. The artist
wanted to take us by surprise. We want to have a closer look. It took me some time to realize
what it was.
b. Cette question pourra être traitée collectivement.
Productions possibles : It takes place in London, the river is the Thames. The photographer
was on the Embankment. In the background we can see the Tower of London, some modern
buildings in the City and the Gherkin.

Informations complémentaires
The Gherkin, as it is commonly referred to by Londoners, is immediately recognizable
because of its conical shape and stunning exterior of harlequin-patterned glass. It is one
of the most distinctive buildings on London’s skyline. It was designed by Norman Foster.
The Gherkin has been described as “structurally and aesthetically one of the most innovative
skyscrapers ever built”.

c. Pour répondre à cette question, on pourra donner aux élèves quelques minutes pour
réfléchir, trouver des éléments de réponse. Ceci pourra donner lieu soit à un travail
individuel soit à un travail en binôme. On invitera les élèves à utiliser la boîte Help!
Un élève pourra ensuite prendre la parole et les autres complèteront. On fera la synthèse
à l’aide de la trace écrite.
Productions possibles : This photo is unusual. It suggests that London is worth visiting. It is
worth discovering and exploring. It is a modern city. Going to London is exciting / thrilling. It is
trendy and fashionable. There are always new things to discover.

k Approche plus communicative
Un travail en binômes ou en groupes est ici suggéré (les groupes étant constitués selon
la volonté du professeur) pour :
– favoriser l’écoute des élèves entre eux (les membres d’un groupe doivent écouter leurs
camarades pour obtenir les informations concernant le texte qu’ils n’ont pas lu),
– développer les échanges entre les élèves (les membres d’un groupe peuvent poser
des questions à leurs camarades pour obtenir des informations complémentaires sur
des points éventuellement restés obscurs).

➼ MISE EN PLACE DU TRAVAIL DE GROUPE

1. On divise la classe en deux groupes A et B.

2. Chaque groupe lit un texte et remplit la fiche de compréhension écrite correspondante.
3. On désigne un rapporteur pour chaque groupe.

 Approfondissement possible : The population of London is multicultural since 270 nationalities
are represented in the city and a quarter of its population is made up of people whose origins
are not British but Asian, Black African and Black Caribbean. There are as many Black Africans
as Black Caribbeans (5%). The Chinese represent only 1%. There are twice as many Indian,
Bangladeshi and Pakistani people as Black African people for example. Most immigrants came
from former British colonies. Yet some of them came to England after fleeing violence in their
countries. That’s why 250 languages are spoken in London. Three quarters (76%) of the London
population are white and include many different nationalities. This explains why 15 MPs are from
ethnic minorities at Westminster (the House of Commons).

II. Action!
(À titre de modèle nous ne traitons ici que le Recap du text B.)
West Indians (people from the Caribbean islands: Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados) left
their native countries aboard the Empire Windrush in 1948. They were the first large group
of immigrants to come to the UK, which marked a turning point in the history of modern
England. They arrived at Tilbury Dock on the north bank of the Thames. They immigrated
because England offered all sorts of opportunities.They wanted to work for the Mother
Country that they had served with the Allied Forces during the Second World War. As England
was devastated (especially its infrastructure) after the Second World War, labour force was
needed to help rebuild the country. They worked mainly for London Transport as bus drivers
or for the National Health Service as nurses for example. Most of them finally stayed and
settled in England especially in the South of London (Clapham, Brixton and Notting Hill) where
their family joined them and where they set up homes.

off almost all the links with the past and their native country. They dread feeling uprooted and
the arrival in a new country. They must feel anxious / must be nervous / worried as settling in
England is a tremendous change / a turning point / a landmark in their lives. They may dread
the future. They wonder if they will be successful in their new lives or if they will fail. They must
feel hopeful too. They are eager to discover their new country with all its opportunities. They
are eager to achieve their dreams. They dream of integrating into British society / of adapting
to their new environment.
➼ RECAP PART 2
The child’s grandmother was present at the farewell scene. She advised the child not to forget
to write to her, to be faithful, obedient and honest. These last recommendations will guide him
in his life, it will play the same role as a beacon (a guiding and signaling device). They will lead

(CD classe n° 3, piste 29), et on les laissera réagir. Certains reconnaîtront l’hymne anglais
et quelques paroles. On pourra leur demander d’anticiper le sujet du texte et ils pourront
ainsi dire : It is (the national anthem) “God Save the Queen/ King”, so the text may be about
the Queen/ King or about England.
En écoutant le refrain de Rule, Britannia, ils repéreront sans doute les quelques mots
qui se répètent : rule, waves, never, slaves.
Productions possibles : British people ruled the seas because they were very good sailors.
Britain had a lot of colonies in the past. Britain had an Empire in the 19th century. British
people/Britons will never be slaves to other nations. British people were very proud of what
they achieved / of their nation. they are independent.

Informations complémentaires
The national anthem is God Save the Queen or God Save the King. It is played whenever the
Queen makes a public appearance. The anthem originated in a patriotic song first performed
in 1745. It became known as the national anthem from the beginning of the 19th century.
Rule, Britannia is a British patriotic song, originating from the poem Rule, Britannia by James
Thomson and set to music by Thomas Arne in 1740. First heard in London in 1745, it achieved
instant popularity. Thomson was a Scottish poet and playwright who spent most of his adult
life in England and hoped to make his fortune at Court. He had an interest in helping foster a
British identity, including and transcending the older English and Scottish identities.

Après écoute, les élèves pourront aussi affiner leur hypothèse de départ : The text may deal
with England and its links with its (former) colonies.
c. Productions possibles :
– It is a first-person narrative. Since the author of the text in called Andrea Levy, we can say
she is the narrator.
– The other characters mentioned are her parents, other immigrants, school pupils including
a new American girl.
– The date mentioned is 1948 and the countries (the names of which / whose names are
repeated) are Jamaica and England.
– It is an autobiography because the narrator relates her family’s story and some personal
memories from her teenagehood.
d. Productions possibles : The black and white photo shows black people waiting behind
barriers. They may be West Indian/ African immigrants from British colonies arriving in
England and waiting to go through the Customs to have their passports checked / to see
if they were allowed in.

Productions possibles :
Part 1
a. The father left Jamaica / his native country because if he had stayed there he would have
been unemployed / he would have been jobless / he would have found no job and his
children would have had no future. As there were no opportunities in his native country,
he decided to leave for England. If he had not left his native country, he would have had to
face economic difficulties. He left Jamaica because he expected to fulfil his dreams. He
wanted to achieve success for himself and his family. Before leaving Jamaica he dreamt of
improving his standard of living in England. He emigrated for economic reasons. He hoped
for a better future / better opportunities / a higher standard of living. He dreamt of making
more money, of escaping poverty. He wanted to improve his living conditions. He was looking
towards to the future. He believed that he could start from scratch. He was attracted by the
new opportunities he could have in England.
b. First of all, he saw his future country as a powerful / mighty and ruling / dominating nation.
England symbolized power and wealth. At that time the British Empire was made up of
countries from all over the world. Secondly he pictured his future country as a welcoming /
greeting country capable of integrating all sorts of people coming from completely different
cultural, ethnic backgrounds. He thought his future country would welcome him.
c. He expected to find a job easily because he saw England as a rich country compared
to Jamaica. He expected his future country to provide him with a job and a decent house
because he saw England as his Mother Country, a protective / motherly country ready
to help / support him. Since the Mother Country was a rich country, he hoped to find a job
immediately. Moreover he went to England in order to help rebuild the country after the Blitz
(the bombing of London by the German army during the Second World War) destroyed many
neighbourhoods / districts in London; that’s why he expected to be greeted.
Titres suggérés : The land of plenty • The Promised Land • Dreaming of a brighter future •
A land of opportunity • The dream

328 • UNIT 16
 Part 2
a. The parents were confronted with/had to face several difficulties because they were
foreigners. People were racist so they faced exclusion. Because people were distrustful,
they were victims of exclusion. First, the father could not have decent living conditions
because he was black. He was prevented from renting a room in a dilapidated district.
So he was discriminated against because of the colour of his skin. So was the mother who
must have been refused a job as a trained teacher since she had to work in a sweat-shop,
probably for low wages. She was overworked and underpaid. They were looked down upon
because of their skin colour. They were considered second-rate citizens.
b. Other people who were foreigners and immigrants were discriminated against too. They were
victims of racism and xenophobia as many other foreigners and immigrants. Czechs, Poles
and Greeks were segregated too. They may have been accused of taking jobs that should
have been reserved for British people only. They must have been rejected just because they
were different.
Titres suggérés : Disillusion • Disappointement • Facing reality

Part 3
a. The narrator realized that none of the pupils at school was interested in her / that she was
not popular at all. The other schoolgirls were indifferent to her country. They didn’t feel like
discovering the customs of her country. She also realized that they looked down upon her,
that they probably considered her an inferior being. She must have become aware of what
racism / xenophobia were, particularly because / especially since the pupils had a different
behaviour to the new American girl. She could not possibly make friends with any of them.
The pupils must have thought a Jamaican girl was not as interesting as an American girl.
b. She must have been miserable, frustrated, disappointed because she had a positive vision
of England. She was certainly disillusioned as she had imagined England as a welcoming
country. Obviously she must have felt left out / rejected. As nobody talked to her, she must
have felt completely isolated and very lonely.
c. Since no one was interested in the Jamaican culture, tradition, customs and food, she must
have thought all she liked was worth nothing. Consequently she must have felt ashamed of
being Jamaican and not British. That’s why she said she felt embarrassed that her parents
were not British.
Titres suggérés : Facing hardships • The difficulties of a teenager to integrate into a new
country • The end of the dream

LONDON SW1 28BG
Dear Grandma/all,
At last we arrived in Kent after a long, tiring trip across the Atlantic Ocean. I’m really glad
I’ve set foot on the firm ground again! The sea was rough because of a terrible storm and most
of the other passengers felt sick. Mum too!
As soon as we joined London, Mum and Dad started to look for a place where to live... We
were really disappointed!
London suffered badly from the Blitz and many buildings and houses are completely
destroyed. That’s why it’s very difficult now to find a nice place to live in. Many areas in London
need to be rebuilt.
What’s more I was stunned when I realized English people seem to be reluctant to rent a
room to coloured people. I was very upset because I cannot forget how helpful Jamaicans were
during the war.
At school, I feel completely excluded. Nobody thinks it is worth knowing Jamaica. To them,
the United States is the country to discover! I really feel miserable. There are so many things I
would like to show them. I know what racism means now!
And of course, I miss the sun, the palm trees and the whole atmosphere is quite bleak here. It
seems it never stops raining here and it’s so cold. One of the first things I did was to buy a raincoat.
I wish I could eat our tasty mangoes! It will take long I’m sure before I can feel the pleasant smell
of all the flowers and plants growing in our marvellous island again. I’m a bit nostalgic but don’t
worry you know what I’m like... I’ll do my best to integrate into my class.
Tomorrow Dad will go to an interview with the director of the local post office. He was told
they were offering jobs there. They need young men like him to help start afresh.
So things are not so disquieting as they look! When he starts earning money, it will be easier
to find better housing and to adapt to the English society.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Lots of love XXX
Andrea

> Script de l'enregistrement
➼ Part 1
The biggest street festival in Europe: the Notting Hill Carnival. Every year, hundreds of
thousands of people head to Notting Hill in West London to dance, sing, eat, and celebrate
multiculturalism. Multiculturalism: the mix of people from different races, religions, traditions,
and languages. The carnival owes its creation to Trinidadian immigrants. The carnival was
created thanks to people who came to Britain from Trinidad.
➼ Part 2
In the late 1940s and the 1950s, there was mass immigration to the United Kingdom:
the arrival of people from many different cultures. Some people in the UK didn’t like the
changes that were happening and this led to riots.
➼ Part 3
Corinne Skinnycarter remembers helping her friend Claudia Jones helping to start the carnival.
We hear the word function. A function is a social event of some kind. “We must get together,
we must get together. That was the whole idea. She thought that the best way to get a lot of
West Indians together, is to have a function. As it happened, this function turned out to be a
carnival.” Now, let’s listen to Claire Holder, who’s been involved with organizing the Carnival.
“The Carnival is a wonderful show. It’s about the positive promotion of black culture, of black
traditions, to promote our culture. The Carnival is steel band and costumes, without a doubt.
Without costumes and steel bands there’s no carnival.” And this musician involved with the
carnival says the steel band and the costumes are important elements, important parts of
the Carnival. A steel band is a group of musicians who play steel drums and the Carnival does
officially kick-off, it begins with the National Steel Band Competition.
➼ Part 4
Another tradition associated with the Carnival is something called Soca. To find out what it
is, let’s listen to Tony. He’ll use the word fusion which is a mix or combination of different
things. We’ll also hear the words Calypso and Soul which are both types of music. “I’m Tony
from Soca Saga Boys. Soca is really a fusion with Calypso and Soul, which is S.O. from the
Soul, the C.A. is from the Calypso. Soca is a happy music. If you want to have a nice time
and you really want to get in the groove, you need to listen to Soca”. Costumes, the special
clothes, which people wear are also a very important part of the Carnival. They are usually

332 • UNIT 16
 bright and colourful, full of colour and sometimes heavy. Like for this girl who says after
wearing her outfit or costume for a while she gets exhausted. “When I wear it I feel quite
exhausted after a while because it’s really heavy.”

II. ACTION!
➼ RECAP PART 1
Every year in West London, in Notting Hill, there is the biggest street festival in Europe
during which people from different cultures sing and dance. It was created by immigrants
from Trinidad who settled in London to celebrate multiculturalism.

➼ RECAP PART 2
In the UK after WWII there were many immigrants who entered the UK, and some people in
the UK didn’t like the changes. This caused violent protests / riots. Consequently people in
West London where many immigrants had settled decided to create a big street festival during
which people could dance, sing and eat. The goal was to bring people together and help them
understand each other.

➼ RECAP PART 3
The Carnival is a social event that must get people together and promote black culture
and black traditions. The two main elements in the Carnival are steel bands and colourful
costumes. A steel band is a group of musicians who play steel drums and compete.

➼ RECAP PART 4
The other important element in the Carnival is music, Soca which is a fusion / combination
of Calypso and Soul musics and a happy music.

4. Oral account
Pour préparer la prise de parole en continu, les élèves pourront s’appuyer sur les Recap
proposés dans la rubrique Action! du Workbook (p. 125) et les amorces du manuel (p. 216).
Productions possibles : The recording deals with the origins of the Carnival. The Carnival
was created in 1964 by immigrants from Trinidad after violent protests and riots took place in
London. They had to face exclusion and racism due to the mass immigration in the 1940s and
1950s so they wanted to create a street festival to get people together, to celebrate different
cultures, races and religions. During the Carnival people wear costumes, sing, dance, play Soca
music and steel bands compete.

I was really impressed, I managed to ask him for one. Next time I see you I will show it to you!
The concert was great! It’s the first time I’ve been to such a huge concert: There were 35,000

 6. À votre tour !
In the middle of the night, I heard a noise. I decided to get up. I saw a shadow, but nothing else.
I felt a blow on my head. The next morning, I woke up; nothing had changed in the house. Yet
I wasn’t lying in my bed... I was sure I hadn’t had a nightmare because I would have been lying in
my bed. I was really getting worried when I realized I could feel a bump on my head! I felt relieved.
This proved I wasn’t going crazy! What on earth had happened the previous night? I was really
puzzled. I tried to calm down and to piece together all the clues I found and I started to imagine
a story about the events that had taken place the night before. A burglar must have broken into
the house and when he had heard me move, he had decided to hit me and escape. So things
should be missing such as my brand new laptop or my fashionable mobile. I ran to my bedroom
to check if they were still there. My laptop was on my desk and my mobile in my trouser pocket.
Nothing had been stolen. He may have been so scared of being caught that he had decided to
escape without stealing anything. But how had he got into the house? I still don’t know.

 Dear Dan,
I made it! You know I have always dreamt of going to Australia! I’ve managed to fulfil my
dream! It’s extraordinary here for a European. The landscapes are so unusual with wild
animals I have never seen before, such as the emu. The family I’m staying with are welcoming
and very friendly. They say I sound like a native speaker! But obviously, you won’t be surprised
to hear that what I enjoy most in this country is surfing! The waves are huge: There are many
beautiful spots and still more to discover. I get up very early to make the most of it in this

Dear Mr and Mrs Coleson,
I am writing this letter to thank you for having me to stay for a week. I’m very grateful I’ll be
able to spend a week with David and discover more about England.
David told me you wanted to make sure everything would be fine during my stay. No need to
worry! I’m not fussy at all.
I don’t mind sharing David’s room; on the contrary, I think we’ll have fun! David probably told
you I’m not an early riser when I’m on holiday. I know he is not either, but I promise we’ll be
ready on time when a family outing is planned! It’s so kind of you to take us to London to visit
Mme Tussaud’s or the new Rock Circus Museum.
I like any type of food and I enjoy tasting new dishes. To be frank, there’s just one fruit I’m not
very keen on and that’s pineapple.
Anyway I’m sure I will never forget my holiday with David in England. We’ve been looking forward
to it for so long now! It’s a great opportunity to see each other again. Nothing can spoil my
holiday with you!
Sincerely yours,
Théo

Then one day, about a week after he arrived, a strange thing happened. Jonathan
was standing by his window. He was shaving in front of a little mirror from his
travelling bag.
Suddenly he heard a quiet voice in his ear say: “Good morning.” Jonathan jumped
5 with fear and cut himself on the neck. The count was standing next to him. Jonathan
looked in the mirror again, but he could only see himself.
“Why can’t I see him in the mirror?” he thought.
He turned again, and saw a strange, hungry look in Dracula’s eyes. The count
was watching the small stream of blood coming out of the cut on Jonathan’s neck.
10 Without thinking, Jonathan lifted his hand to the blood. As he did that, he touched
the little silver cross around his neck. The count’s face changed. His eyes shone
red and he began to shake. Then, without a word, he picked the mirror and threw
it out of the window. There was a long silence, then Jonathan heard the crash of
broken glass on the rocks far below. The count turned angrily:
15 “I will not have mirrors in my house,” he shouted. Then, seconds later, he said
more softly: “Try not to cut yourself. It is more dangerous in this country than you
think.” When the count left the room, Jonathan looked out of the window at his
broken mirror. The ground was a long way down. For the first time he realized
that he wanted to leave. He wanted to go home. “But will he give me permission to
20 leave?” he thought. “Am I really his guest? Or am I, perhaps, his prisoner?”
Bram Stoecker, Dracula, Penguin Readers, level 3, 2000

Yesterday I went to see Avatar because all my friends told me it was great. I enjoyed
it very much: I love special effects. I think the use of new film techniques and 3D
is effective and the visuals are amazing. It is full of adventure and the heroes are
very realistic. In my opinion it is the biggest and best movie ever! My girl friend was
not so impressed; she hated it. The story was boring and disappointing. She couldn’t

 CORRIGÉ INTRODUCTION À L'ÉVALUATION DIAGNOSTIQUE

> Proposition de corrigé MANUEL k P. 14-15

Pour préparer les élèves à l’évaluation diagnostique, le professeur traitera cette page qui
permettra de travailler le champ lexical des bons et des méchants.
1. Listes non exhaustives de héros : Goodies ➙ Superman, Wonderwoman, Spiderman, Flash
Gordon, The Men in Black, Batman, Lara Croft, Tintin, Popeye, Iron Man, Aragorn / Frodo /
Legolas / Gandalf / Arwen / Eowyn / Galadriel / Sam Wise, Luke Skywalker / Han Solo /
Queen Armidala / Princess Leia, Indiana Jones, Robin Hood, Tarzan, Zorro, Harry Potter /
Hermione / Dumbledore, Buffy, Captain Jack Sparrow / Elizabeth
Baddies ➙ Darth Vader / The Emperor / Darth Maul, Lord Farquaad (Shrek), Skeletor,The
Joker / The Riddler / Catwoman / The Penguin, Cruella De Vil, Hannibal Lecter, Snow
White’s Evil Queen, Count Dracula, Professor Snape, Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland),
Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean), Gollum / Saruman / Orc / Nazgul, The Silver
Surfer / Dr Doom Saruman / The All Seeing Eye / An Orc
Productions possibles : As for me / I think Harry Potter is a real goodie because he fights
evil. He is fearless and determined; nothing can make him change his mind. Besides he has
got superpowers which make him (all the more) invulnerable.
I love Cruella De Vil because she is the ultimate baddie: she is selfish, cruel and wicked. She
has no consideration for the Little and the Weak. Her own pleasure comes first.
2. Personnages photo (de g. à d.) : Iron Man, Thing, Superman, The Incredible Hulk, Human Torch.
Commencer par demander à la classe quels héros ils reconnaissent et d’où ils proviennent.
Productions possibles : Superman was born on the alien planet Krypton. His parents sent
him to Earth to survive and he landed in the United States. A couple named the Kents adopted
and named him Clark Kent. As Clark grows up on Earth, he and his adoptive parents discove-
red he had superhuman powers. The Kents taught Clark to use these powers to help others
and fight crime.
Iron Man is a superhero from comic books. He suffered severe heart injury during a kid-
napping; his captors wanted him to build a massively destructive weapon but he created a
powered suit of armor to save his life and escape. He later decided to use the suit to protect
the world as Iron Man. He can fight crime with his metal suit full of technological devices.
Thing and Human Torch come from the comics The Fantastic Four. The heroes have super-
powers. Mr. Fantastic, a scientific genius, is the leader of the group; he can stretch his body
into incredible length and shapes; the Invisible Woman can become invisible; the Human Torch
can surround himself with flames and fly; and the monstrous Thing has superhuman strength
because of his stone-like flesh.
The Hulk is a character from comic books. Bruce Banner, a physicist, invented a gamma bomb.
During a test he is exposed to radiations and transforms into The Hulk, a giant green monster.
He changes each time he is angry or scared. The madder The Hulk is the stronger The Hulk gets.
3. Le professeur organisera les groupes dans la classe pour que les élèves interrogent leurs
camarades. Il les engagera à utiliser le vocabulaire et les amorces suivantes.
Costumes: Description ➙ armour (or), tough skin, disguise, leggings, close fitting, tight ≠
baggy, look ≠ look like + adjectif
Accessories ➙ cape, belt, mask, gloves, wig, helmet, shield

Dislikes ➙ hate, can’t stand, uncomfortable, heavy, horrid, ridiculous

(prise de parole en continu)
Ceci est un exemple de production possible (sujet A : Al Capone).
This is Al Capone, also called Scarface.
In this photograph, he has a round face with black eyes and black hair, he is a little bald. He
looks fat. He is wearing a dark suit and a tie. This is surprising because he doesn’t look nasty
or mean or bad and yet he is one of the most famous baddies of the twentieth century.
He was born on December 12th 1899 in Brooklyn, New York, but his parents were Italians.
He had 7 brothers and sisters, so it was a large family. I can imagine they were not rich. He
was not a good pupil and left school when he was expelled at the age of 14. He became the
leader of the Five Points Gang in New York. Then, from 1923 to 1931 he moved to Chicago
where he became the most famous gangster ever, public enemy number 1. He was involved
in illegal activities which concerned corruption, casinos, prostitution and extorsion. The
police were very active: they asked Eliot Ness to try his best to catch him. This is the story of
the film The Untouchables by Brian de Palma with Robert de Niro and Kevin Costner. He was
found guilty in 1932, convicted and sent to prison. He spent the rest of his life in Alcatraz,
the famous Rock in San Francisco Bay and died there in 1947. He was only 48 years old.

Journalist: OK, and your nationality is …
W.A.: I’m from the United States.
Journalist: All right. We’ve asked William who has inspired him in his life. So who’s inspired
you in your life, William?

W.A.: Batman!

W.A.: The superhero. You’re looking at me like …
Journalist: [Big laugh] Well he’s a hero of course, he’s a super hero.
W.A.: Well he was a hero to me when I was young and this is when inspiring people come
into our lives when we are young.
Journalist: How old were you when you discovered Batman?
W.A.: I must have been about 6 or 7 when I first started reading the Batman comics. I was
drawn to him instinctively I think because he, unlike other superheroes, doesn’t have any
superpowers: bullets do not bounce off of him, he cannot fly, he doesn’t have a super suit
like Iron Man and he’s often being injured, but he’s just a man, a man who is motivated to
fight crime because of what’s happened to him in his own past.
Journalist: OK, that was the whole heroic aspect of Batman.
W.A: Superman just woke up and was powerful and could fly because he was in a different
world than his own, which gave him his powers. It is easy to be a superhero when you’ve
already got all these powers. I think that you could apply that to any field. If it’s not crime-
fighting perhaps it could be helping people, healing, you could be a doctor, anything …
Journalist: Thank you.

She thought she would never be tired of watc

hing those ponies coming by, but
after a while1 she began to look at the wom
en and children on their backs. The
women and children came riding behind the India
n men. Little naked brown Indians,
no bigger than Mary and Laura, were riding
the pretty ponies. The ponies did not
5 have to wear bridles or saddles2, and the little
Indians did not have to wear clothes.
All their skin was out in the fresh air and the
sunshine. Their straight black hair
blew in the wind and their black eyes sparkled3
with joy. They sat on their ponies
stiff and still4 like grown-up Indians.
Laura looked and looked at the Indian child
10
ren, and they looked at her. She
had a naughty wish to be a little Indian girl.
Of course she did not really mean it.
She only wanted to be bare-naked in the wind
and the sunshine, and riding one of
those gay little ponies.
The Indian children’s mothers were riding ponie
s, too. Leather fringes5 dangled
about their legs, and blankets were wrapped aroun
15
d their bodies, but the only thing
on their heads was their black smooth hair. Their
faces were brown and placid. (...)
It was dinner-time and no one thought of dinne
r. Indian ponies were still going
by, carrying bundles6 of skins and tent poles
and dangling baskets and cooking
pots. There were a few more women and a few
more naked Indian children. Then
the very last pony went by. But Pa and Ma and
20
Laura and Mary still stayed in the
doorway, looking, till that long line of Indians
slowly pulled itself over the western
edge of the world. And nothing was left but
silence and emptiness. All the world
seemed very quiet and lonely.

Sunday, June 28, 1896
After Mass today, the boat engines suddenly
stopped. “What is it?” “Is something the
matter?” “Is something wrong with the boat?
” All kinds of stories started up, but then
someone shouted, “America!”
5 I grabbed Jozeph’s hand. We hurried up the stairs
and crowded onto the deck. Far off,
I saw a jagged line. Land! It was America. I hugge
d Jozeph and started to cry. I spotted
Leon, and he grinned and nodded.
Soon the Statue of Liberty came into view. We
pushed against the rail to get a glimpse.
Mothers and fathers lifted their babies and small
children so they could see. There were
10 cheers and laughter and more crying. People
crossed themselves and prayed.
Leon pushed his way over to us and lifted
Jozeph to his shoulders. The Statue of
Liberty looked sad and lonesome. She remin
ded me of a saint, and I don’t know why,
but I was suddenly filled with sadness too. I
could not take my eyes off her mournful
face. What kind of place is this America, I wond
ered as our ship floated past a harbor.
15 Tall buildings loomed in front of us.
Then the moment was gone, and it was rush,
rush, rush. Ship officers strode up and
down the decks, barking orders and directions
. “Hurry up! Quickly! Run! Over here!
Over there! Men here! Women there! Children
with the mothers!” Identification tags
were pinned onto our clothing, and we were herde
d onto a smaller boat and transported
20 to a great inspection hall.
At the hall, a stern and sour inspector check
ed our papers. [...]
In another hall we were poked and prodded1 and
interrogated. Our eyelids were pulled
up, our chests and backs thumped, our legs and
fingers, hair and scalp examined. They
even measured the beating of our hearts.
25 Then the dreaded chalk mark! When a docto
r found something suspicious – redness
of the eyes, or lameness, or a cough – he mark
ed a letter on the foreigner’s coat. Oh,
the wail that went up each time a coat was chalk
ed.
To our great relief, there was no chalk mark
for Jozeph, Leon or me. Now we are
sitting, waiting to answer more questions to
see if we will make suitable Americans.

Margaret Tobin, nicknamed Maggie, was born on July the 18th 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri.
Her parents were poor Irish immigrants. In 1885, she found a job in a department store in
Leadville, Colorado. There she met a young engineer called James Brown. They got married
on September the 1st 1886. A year later, their son Lawrence Palmer was born and in 1889,
they had a daughter named Catherine Ellen Brown. In 1893, James Brown became very rich
because he discovered gold, silver and copper in the mine where he worked. The family
moved to Denver, Colorado and bought a new house. Maggie had time and money to learn
languages and music. She did a lot of sight-seeing around the world.
On her way back to America, she survived the Titanic disaster on April the 15th 1912. She
got the nickname ‘Unsinkable Mrs. Brown’ because she was very brave and helped raise
money for the victims. She died on October the 26th 1932 at the age of 65.

Interviewer: Could you introduce yourself and tell us where you live?
Marie Macklin: Hello, my name is Marie Macklin, I’m 21 and I was born in London. I’ve
lived in London half my life, and in Somerset, near Bath. I lived in London till I was nine and
then I moved to Somerset and I’ve lived there ever since. I live in the countryside in Somer-
set and we have a big house. It’s in the southwest of England.
Interviewer: What about your parents?
Marie Macklin: We grow vegetables and fruit and we have several orchards. And we also
keep sheep. They mainly eat the grass and we sell the lambs as well. I also have six cats
and one dog. And yeap! that’s a big, pink house. There’s a city near where I live called Wells
and that’s where I went to school. It’s a music school so I was able to sing a lot and also I
played the viola so I did that in a few orchestras and also in balls.
Interviewer: What is the nearest city? What is special about it?
Marie Macklin: Wells also has a lovely cathedral and I sang there a lot as well as a
chorister ... I sang there every day and we had about two or three services a week in the
cathedral. Wells is in fact the smallest city in Europe, so they say, and also near where I live
there’s a city called Glastonbury which is famous for the Glastonbury Festival which takes
place every summer in June and I usually go.

Interviewer: What do you most miss about England?
Marie: And yeah! What do I most miss about England? I miss tea... I miss a good cup of
tea! The tea bags here aren’t the same as there. I had to bring them all over from home.
And I also miss my family and friends, of course. Lots of my friends from school now live
in London and I can see them more easily when I’m there, so I miss them. And also I only
live... my family’s home is only two hours from London so... it’s easy to see my family when
I’m in England as well.
Interviewer: What other things do you miss about England?
Marie: Other things I miss about England? I miss London. I love London as a city. There’s
always loads to do and I always miss the singing opportunities in London as well, and also
the choirs. There are so many choirs in London I can sing with. So I miss that.
Interviewer: How different are British people from French people?
Marie: My first impression was the French greet each other a lot more. They acknowledge
each other a lot more than the English do. When you go into the shops in Paris, everyone
says “Bonjour !”, “Au revoir !”, in England it’s not the same and also French people kiss
each other whereas the English don’t really do that unless they are very close friends.
Interviewer: Did any other aspects strike you?
Marie: The English however, seem to have a more varied style than the French. In England
you can wear whatever you like and no one bats an eyelid, especially where I lived last year
in Camden. And the French appreciate and enjoy food more, I think. Yes, the French enjoy
cooking and using more quality ingredients, whereas the British are a lot more inclined to
just... I don’t know... they don’t have time and get the cheaper option... I don’t know. They
don’t really enjoy food as much as the French do, I think.

The two hairy hands make the man look half-human half-animal. He looks both prehistoric and
modern. The mixture of the two attracts our attention and makes us feel ill at ease. When we
notice the logo we realize this is an awareness campaign against deforestation. Deforestation
has an impact on animals and species. Many species are endangered and on the verge of
extinction. The goal of the advertisers is to alert us and sensitize us to the state of the planet.
The advertisers resort to a visual device to make us aware of the link between our daily acts
and deforestation. They have resorted to a shock tactic to make us aware of the impending
disaster, of an acute problem, of the threat / danger, of the impact of deforestation of the
rain forest on some species and mankind.

They want to alert us / sensitize us, shock us into awareness. The message conveyed is
clear: it’s high time we acted. We are on the brink of disaster, if we don’t act now we are
doomed. We are all concerned. They want to frighten us into acting and reacting. Man’s life is
at stake.

Hi,
Sorry to disturb you, but I’ve lost all my notes on South Africa. I’ve looked everywhere but
I can’t find them. Would you mind lending me your notes? I promise I won’t keep them;
I’ll photocopy them and return them as soon as possible. Can I come and pick them up

Thanks a lot,
Bye for now, Karen Ann
2. Appalling concert
Last night I went to a rotten concert. The theatre was crowded, people kept screaming
because the singers were late and we were kept waiting. Then several mikes broke down
and nobody could hear anything. We started shouting and some spectators got very angry.
I was so fed up with the whole thing that I left. What a waste of money!
3. a. My New Year’s resolutions
In January I made up my mind. I decided I would be more active, I would start jogging twice
a week. To make sure I will stick to my schedule I will run with two of my friends.
Who wants to join us?
b. Invictus
I’ve just seen Invictus, Clint Eastwood’s latest film. Awesome! It relates a true story. To
unite a country torn by Apartheid Mandela gave a mission to the Springboks: to win the
1995 Rugby World Cup. The film is full of emotion. Morgan Freeman’s performance is tre-
mendous. It’s one of the best sports films of the decade. Go and see it!
4. I was sleeping when the phone rang in the middle of the night. I was scared to death!
I jumped out of bed, ran to the living-room and I imagined the worst. Who could wake us up
at such an hour? What had happened? I picked up the phone anxiously. I suddenly heard
the voice of Lisa, my American friend. She was overjoyed and wanted to tell the world she
was getting married. She asked me to be her bridesmaid. I congratulated her warmly and
promised to come over for the wedding. I managed to speak English even if I felt so sleepy.
5. The door closed and Pamela realized she was a prisoner. She had been invited to spend
a few days in the Duke’s castle. The Duke admired her very much because she was a
famous opera singer. She knew he was in love with her. Pamela felt panic-stricken. How
could she escape? Had the Duke kidnapped her to persuade her to marry him? She would
never agree to marry a man she didn’t love, even though he had a huge fortune. Suddenly,
she heard a noise. Two men were fighting outside the room: Erik, her childhood friend and
the Duke. Suddenly she heard a scream. The Duke was dead. Pamela ran into her friend’s
arms.

6. An old woman was walking in the park pushing her cart which was full of bags. She sat
on a bench next to me and we started talking. She was eighty, her hair was white, she
looked very tired. She told me the story of her life. At twenty she was an actress and
married to a very rich man. Fifteen years later he fell in love with another woman and
she got divorced. She found a job, worked for many years. Then she lost her job and was
homeless. She didn’t want me to give her any money. She said she didn’t need much.

1. Hi everybody,
Thank you ever so much for taking me to the Notting Hill Carnival last August! It was so kind
of you to make me discover Caribbean culture. I was fascinated by the beautiful costumes.
They were so colourful. I’m very fond of drums and music and I had a great time. What
about coming to Paris next year in July to see many artists during the Solidays?
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Love, Kevin
2. I had a wonderful time in South Africa where I spent three weeks. I visited Soweto, a black
township outside Johannesburg. I even stayed in a bed and breakfast there. It was small
and very clean, the people were very friendly and welcoming. We talked for hours about the
apartheid regime and the Soweto riots. The owners were teenagers at that time and de-
monstrated against the government decision to force students to learn Afrikaans at school.
They described the fights where many people died or were arrested. They advised us to
visit Hector Pieterson’s museum, which we did. A large museum stands two blocks away
from where Hector Pieterson was shot to death. Fortunately things have changed since the
dismantling of Apartheid. We also went to Robben Island where Mandela was imprisoned
for so many years. It was really moving. Then, we explored Kruger National Park, amazing!
The landscapes were breathtaking, the wild animals were numerous and impressive. This
was real Africa! We also admired the bushmen’s rock paintings. Awesome! Unforgettable!
3. Mr Bennet had been married to Mrs Bennet for about forty years. Mr Bennet had been ma-
dly in love first. However, over the years he realized he couldn’t stand his wife nagging him
all the time. She kept him waiting for hours, she wanted him to obey instantly: “You’re at my
beck and call” was her favourite expression. She was very demanding but never thanked
him. He was very patient and quiet, never dared to contradict Mrs Bennet.
Mrs Bennet wished she had married a man she could admire, she also dreamt of being free.
One day they went to the seaside. They were standing on the edge of a cliff. They were both
thinking of the quickest way of getting rid of each other. The husband felt like pushing his
wife off the cliff, he looked forward to seeing her corpse lying on the bottom rocks. The wife
knew she might be pushed, but she was smart and set a trap. As soon as she heard her
husband running, she stood still. When he got very near she knelt down. Her husband hit
the rocks and died instantly. However, the old lady had not seen there was a witness lying
behind the bush. The husband had foreseen everything. He died knowing his horrible wife
would rot in prison.

She may have used arsenic.

C. YOUR CONCLUSIONS

9. The pets have been stuffed by the landlady.

10. The guests must have been stuffed too after being poisoned by the landlady.
There was a strange smell emanating from the landlady that Billy associated with the smell
of the corridors of a hospital. It might be the smell of the products used to kill animals.
The landlady said Mr Temple’s skin was perfect, without any blemish, like a baby’s skin,
which suggests she has seen him naked. Probably when she stuffed him.
11. Billy’s tea had a strange taste. The landlady must have poisoned his tea - as she had done
with Mr Mulholland’s and Mr Temple’s teas - to kill him. Then she could stuff the three
young men easily.
12. “all” refers to the pets and the three young men. She compares the young men to her
favourite animals.
13. Billy must already have been poisoned. The landlady will probably stuff him as she has done
with her pets and other guests.
14. Apparently the woman is a nice, friendly lady who is caring and careful. She is welcoming
and polite, and looks after her guests very well.
In reality she is a taxidermist and above all a serial killer, a poisoner and a murderer!

Seasons in New York
Pour traiter cette double page et aboutir à la mini-tâche, un travail en groupes (2 ou plus)
est préconisé. Les différents groupes se concentrent sur un seul tableau et répondent aux
questions 1) a. b. c. en s’aidant de la rubrique Help!
Un rapporteur dans chaque groupe prendra la parole pour faire une synthèse du travail.
Puis un débat pourra être organisé entre les élèves pour aborder la question 2, A calendar
(mini-tâche).

1. a. In the first painting, the scene takes place in Central Park, in New York during the summer.
Although the park is crowded, the atmosphere is peaceful. People look relaxed and light-
hearted. They are smartly-dressed and they must have gone for a walk because the weather
is sunny/fine. Some people are sitting on a bench, talking. Some are strolling along the
paths. Others are in horse carriages, driving around the whole park. The colours are bright
and this creates a sense of cheerfulness.
b. This/these painting(s) remind(s) me of paintings by Renoir or Monet.
c. Indeed, both painters painted scenes of everyday life. The scenes they painted could be
set in natural or urban landscapes. Moreover in this/these painting(s) we can recognize the
technique used by Renoir or Monet. Both painters relied on sketchiness/sketchy outlines and
patchiness to convey the experience of the rapid movement or variety in a scene. In order to
avoid the smooth finish of traditional painting, they used broad brushstrokes which produced
a blurred effect and conveyed a sense of liveliness.
2. If I had to choose a painting, I would choose the painting by Robert Henri because in my
opinion, it best represents New York City at the turn of the 20th century.
At that time the city was developing and becoming the tallest city in the world.
In this canvas the height is suggested through the numerous vertical lines of the huge buil-
dings and of the street lamp that is right in the middle.
I don’t agree with you. To me, the most representative painting of New York is Central Park
because Central Park is an icon of New York.
Er ... um ... Central Park is still an icon, even in the twenty-first century!
Don’t forget that New York is the city that never sleeps! Activity best symbolizes this city,
especially at the turn of the twentieth century.
I agree with you. I feel that although there is a snowstorm, people are still on the move and
keep working. They are plodding through the snow and yet they seem to be active and busy,
which is the best definition of New York.
The broad brushstrokes probably help create this sense of movement. That’s why I prefer the
second painting by Robert Henri.

http://www.madehow.com/Volume-6/Skyscraper.html
On donnera ce travail à faire à la maison, au CDI ou au labo multimédia, s’il y en a un dans l’éta-
blissement. Ce travail de recherche servira à réaliser la mini-tâche de la page 245 du manuel.
1. a. This document is a photograph taken by Charles C. Ebbets in the USA, in 1932, a few
years after the 1929 financial crisis/during the Great Depression. The construction site
which was photographed was the one of the Rockefeller Centre in New York City.
On the photo, we can see several blue-collar workers who are sitting on a steel beam at
the top of a skyscraper. The photo must have been taken during the workers’ break, at lunch
time because we can see their lunch boxes. Their feet are dangling in the void/emptiness
and below them we can recognize Central Park so we know the picture was snapped in New
York City. They are resting and look really relaxed (they are chatting and smoking).They do
not seem to be afraid of heights/they do not feel dizzy at all.
b. We know that after the 1929 financial crash, many workers were unemployed/jobless.
Some wealthy businessmen like Rockefeller decided to invest their money in construction
sites in order to boost the American economy. Skilled workers who were not afraid of
heights were hired to build skyscrapers. They were not reluctant to risk their lives provided
they had a job and a little money to support their families. At that time employers were totally
regardless of safety rules; that’s why it is not surprising that the workers in the photo should
wear no safety harnesses. Blue-collar workers were ready to work for very low wages as
long as they had a job. Although the working conditions were often strenuous/difficult/
hard, workers were eager to have a job.
c. To me/As far as I’m concerned, I think the photographer wanted to glorify the economic
power of the USA despite the 1929 crash. He relied on a high angle-shot to show how tall
and high the New York skyscrapers were. The blurred background underlined/emphasized
the towering aspect of the skyscraper. The whole effect gave/conveyed an impression of

– And Joseph Stella (who was born in Italy in 1877 and died in 1946) named his painting,
which is part of a series of five related canvases, dating from 1920-1922: The Voice of the
City of New York Interpreted: The Bridge.
– Why “The Voice of the City of New York”?
– Well ... because to Joseph Stella, Brooklyn Bridge best represented New York. The main
part of the painting focuses on this architectural modern icon with its famous Gothic
arches, its maze of cables and wires, its pedestrian walkway and in the background the
breathtaking prospect of Manhattan skyscrapers. To Joseph Stella the conventions of tra-
ditional painting seemed powerless / failed to convey the dynamism of modernity, techno-
logy, machines and life in the city. That’s why he converted to Futurism, an Italian artistic
movement in the beginning of the 20th century, which relied on fractured, colourful and
abstract fragments to capture the complexities and energy of the machine age. Hence the
technique used by Joseph Stella when he depicted the monument through a large variety of
shapes and colours that remind us of a kaleidoscope or a stained-glass window to suggest
the richness and diversity of New York.
3. Joseph Stella was born in Italy in 1877 and he died in 1946. The painting dates back to the
beginning of the twentieth century. We do not know exactly when it was painted because
it was part of a series of five-related canvases. This period corresponds to the time when
the Futurist movement developed. Like the members of the Futurist movement, Joseph
Stella glorified the dynamism of modernity, technology, machines and the city. He believed
the conventions of traditional painting failed to capture the complexities and energy of
the machine age. That is why the canvas includes an architectural modern icon (Brooklyn
Bridge) with its Gothic arches, its maze of cables and wires and its pedestrian walkways. Jo-
seph Stella was convinced that by using fractured, colourful and abstract fragments, which
remind us of a kaleidoscope or a stained-glass window, he could convey the richness and
diversity of New York City.

> Proposition de corrigé
At the beginning of the twentieth century, New York City was famous all over the world
because its architecture — embodied by its skyscrapers — glorified the American indus-
trial, financial, economic and cultural power as we realized when we studied the photo by
Charles C. Ebbets. Indeed, the building of skyscrapers was made possible thanks to several
important technological advances. First in the 1850s, safe elevators were invented, which
enabled architects to design high towers. In the 1880s, engineers invented mass-produced
steel (an alloy / mixture / blend of iron and carbon) inexpensively. Therefore it was now
possible to build a steel structure / frame / skeleton of vertical columns and horizontal
beams so the outside walls did not support the weight of the whole building. The walls no
longer needed to be thick. Architects resorted to glass, aluminium or stainless steel, marble
or granite for the exterior walls. Consequently tall skyscrapers could be constructed. Finally
Fiche photocopiable - © Hatier 2010

reinforced concrete was an important component of skyscrapers because it helped resist

tremendous wind forces that could cause motion and discomfort for the people living or
working in skyscrapers. Several other innovations like central heating or the telephone
helped transform the American skylines at the turn of the twentieth century. Joseph Stella’s
way of painting and subjects symbolize this modernity.

In this painting the weather is fine; it certainly is a hot summer's day and the sky is all
blue but for a few clouds. The characters are wearing summer clothes and I can even see
a naked woman at her window in the top left-hand corner. On the opposite side, there is
a weird woman (or is it a man?) wearing a hairnet. In the foreground a lady is crossing the
street with her pram. She is just stepping on the pavement / sidewalk.

d. Little Italy, Manhattan
> Productions possibles
What strikes me first when I look at this painting are the bright colours. Red, yellow and
orange are the dominant shades. This reinforces my first impression of vitality and move-
ment: indeed, the people are busy walking, driving or shopping. There is a crowd in the
centre and the street is bustling with life. The oversized lady on the right and the bear
crossing the street emphasize the chaos of the scene. The dense traffic makes me think of
a frantic Italian traffic jam. I must admit I didn’t immediately think of New York when I dis-
covered the painting. Yet the fire escapes on the façades/sides of the building are typical
of downtown Manhattan. Just the same, there is a yellow cab right in the middle.
3. Naïve and realistic (lack of proportion or perspective, bright contrasting colours, childlike
simplicity, scenes with animals…)
4. a. How true to life! It’s so much like a photograph! It’s so realistic! It can’t be a
painting! It must be an old photograph!
This painting is strikingly realistic. The car parked on the left looks like an oldie from the
sixties. How typical of a view of New York to show a Coca Cola billboard!
Yet I think it is a dehumanized world of concrete which doesn’t appeal to me because I
would rather live in the countryside.
b. Estes is a photo-realist because his painting is both very realistic and looks like a pho-

tograph. Indeed, I can clearly see the shadows of the buildings contrasting with the bright
street. The scene is true to life; every detail is shown, from the huge billboards, the skys-
crapers, the shop windows, the traffic lights to the different shades of the street tarmac…
He portrays a typical New York street. The viewer immediately recognizes the city. It is very
close to reality because this urban scene looks very familiar.

5. Prepare your task

> Productions possibles
You are now in front of Red Grooms’ famous painting entitled Little Italy. This colourful
painting enlightens the whole room with its joyful New York summer street.
As for Red Grooms, he is a prolific, contemporary artist whose work appeals to all sorts of
art fans. He was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1937, and began his artistic career while
at school. In 1957 Grooms moved to New York City to be near his favourite subject-matter.
The vibrant colour of his hair earned him the name “Red”. His first major work, The City
of Chicago, was a large, colourful, satirical view of city life, and it was a tremendous hit
with the public. It earned him a cover article in Look magazine, in 1967. During the 1970s,
Grooms painted the Big Apple again and again. He tried to make the viewers feel the sights,
sounds, smells and shapes of America’s biggest cosmopolitan city.
Let’s go back to Little Italy; indeed, have a close look … Do you notice this merry crowd
of ethnic diversity. Don’t you feel dizzy? You are looking down onto a city street from a
very exaggerated perspective. Buildings seem to tilt in towards the street with angled fire
escapes dangling dangerously over a street filled with cars and people. Everything is out of
proportion, from the enormous character on the right-hand side to the giant blue dog in the
middle of the zebra crossing. What a fantastic painting!

1. This painting shows two skyscrapers at night. It relies on geometric design. This painting
looks dark, gloomy and fascinating at the same time. The low-angle shot was chosen to
convey an impression of height and power, to reinforce the vertical lines of the compo-
sition. The viewer feels tiny compared to the huge and imposing skyscrapers that are
reaching for the sky. The only ray of light comes from the moon. The world of concrete
represented here looks cold and inhuman. No human presence can be noticed. The skys-
crapers may represent the economic power of big corporations. People live and work in a
metallic and deserted world. It conveys the impression that streets are canyons and that
people are overpowered.

Journalist: Hello Potter. Potter Guifford, you’re an art expert on Hopper. Nighthawks is your
favourite painting by Hopper. Tell us why.
Potter Guiffrod: I love this painting because the scene takes place late at night in New
York. The light attracts our eyes. The bar becomes a focal point because the streets around
are deserted and empty. These people are looking for some comfort. The bar becomes a
shelter for lonely people. Light is important. The painting is based on a contrast between a
dark street and a brightly-lit café.
Journalist: Who are the people represented?
Potter Guifford: Four characters are in a café: a red-haired woman, aged about thirty, wea-
ring a bright-red dress; two men are wearing dark suits and hats. They are silently having a

late-night drink. Neither of the three patrons is talking. They don’t seem to be talking to one
another. The street looks deserted. Darkness surrounds them. The bar is the only sign of
life. The painting conveys the impression they aIl look dejected and gloomy.
Journalist: Is solitude the dominant theme?
Potter Guifford: Yes, definitely. They all seem to be lost in their dreams, to be very lone-
some. We are struck by silence and desolation. The atmosphere is stifling, everything is
lifeless. Only the woman seems to be alive. The characters are cut off from one another.

They are strangers, they are worlds apart. Obviously they don’t communicate. These people
want to escape their monotonous life.
Journalist: Who can these people be?
Potter Guifford: Well, it all depends on your imagination. The woman is heavily made-up
and looks like a hooker: she is hot.
This scene reminds me of “The Big Sleep”, with Humphrey Bogart. The man may be a de-
tective, or a spy. The woman may attract him and then trap him.
Or we can imagine she may have been jilted by her lover.
Or the couple may be in love.
Or the woman may have sneaked out to see her lover. She may want to discuss something
with him in an anonymous place.
Or they may have been to a boring party and may have left earlier.
Anyway, the customers try to find a refuge, are trying to escape the sadness and melan-
choly of city life.
Journalist: Thank you, that was fascinating.

> Proposition de corrigé
Edward Hopper (1882-1967) was a realist who portrayed America, common America.
Hopper’s subjects were the city, the small town and the countryside. He mainly focused on
people’s everyday life. That’s why he painted hotel rooms, bars, offices and restaurants. In
all these anonymous places he captured silent moments. Many of these places are quiet
and empty. What dominates is a sense of isolation. In the 1930’s and 1940’s he insisted on
the lack of communication, the solitude of people who live in big cities.

Your task at the end of this project

> Proposition de corrigé
My favourite painting is Room in New York. This scene is portrayed through the eyes of a
passer-by who is glancing at the window. The scene takes place at dusk.
It represents a middle-class couple seen from the outside. It is an everyday scene.
First, we are struck by the contrast between the warm colours and the cold atmosphere
conveyed by the painter. The husband and the wife are sitting on either side of the table,
which suggests they are worlds apart.
The man is reading the newspaper. He doesn’t care a damn about his wife, pays no atten-

tion to her. He is cut off from her, and is indifferent to her.

The woman is pretending to play the piano, because she wants to attract his attention.
She looks bored, frustrated and gloomy. She is waiting for a sign from her husband.
It underlines the boredom of her life. These people are strangers; they don’t communicate.
The characters have no special features; their faces are blurred. They could represent an
average couple. The passer- by can easily identify with these characters.

very poor neighbourhoods, were treated as second-class citizens. He believed he lived in a dic-

Introduction
Les 12 documents authentiques sont en lien étroit avec les thèmes des unités du manuel et peu-
vent aussi servir de base à des projets pédagogiques distincts, mettant en place les activités
langagières décrites dans le Cadre Européen (CECRL).

1. La vidéo : un support de travail motivant, exigeant, incontournable

La vidéo fait partie intégrante de la vie des adolescents de nos jours et devient un support
privilégié. Les documents authentiques ont aussi l’avantage de montrer une réalité culturelle
et de l’illustrer de façon vivante.
Avec la vidéo, les élèves s’habituent à rechercher l’essentiel du message, à bâtir du sens en
s’appuyant sur les éléments connus, sur les images, le contexte, les mots-clés. Ils établissent
des liens entre paroles et images. La vidéo permet de développer des stratégies d’écoute,
facilement transférables à d’autres supports. En outre, la vidéo permet de travailler les expres-
sions du visage, les gestes, le non-verbal, si importants dans la communication.
La séance vidéo est parfois perçue comme une « séance télé » par nos élèves. C’est aussi un média
très fugitif, ce qui peut poser des problèmes de mémorisation, dès que le document est un peu long :
nous avons donc choisi des extraits assez courts accompagnés de fiches pour guider l’élève.

2. Les différentes phases de travail

Les fiches proposées servent à l’entraînement et sont construites sur le schéma suivant : une
phase d’anticipation lorsque cela est nécessaire, le repérage des éléments-clés puis le classe-
ment de ces éléments, afin de construire ainsi le sens.
- Activités d’anticipation : l’anticipation peut être phonologique : lire des transcriptions phonéti-
ques, les associer aux mots écrits, etc. – ou lexicale, à partir d’un document iconographique.
- Visionnage et découverte du document : le découpage en séquences (matérialisées par les
petits numéros en haut à droite de l’écran) permet de fractionner l’approche et de collecter les
informations par étapes successives.
Le document peut être vu une fois dans son entier pour permettre un premier repérage.
On peut aussi adopter des approches très variées : visionnage muet (images sans le son) ou écou-
te de la bande-son (son sans images) ; visionnage ciblé (on divise la classe en groupes et chaque
groupe se voit confier une tâche bien précise ; un rapporteur présente ce qui a été compris, vu
et entendu ; les autres élèves du même groupe complètent ou enrichissent ; le reste de la classe
prend des notes) ; arrêt sur images (l’étude d’images fixes extraites des documents permet de
mieux analyser les attitudes des personnages et d’accéder ainsi à l’implicite).
- Version sous-titrée en anglais : elle pourra dans certains cas être utilisée pour des passages
jugés difficiles. De manière générale cependant, les sous-titres ne peuvent venir qu’en dernier
lieu, lorsque l’élève a déjà fait l’effort de s’appuyer sur les images, sur les mots porteurs de
sens, sur le non-verbal, et lorsqu’il a épuisé toutes ses stratégies d’écoute.
- Exploitation du script : le script peut être distribué après l’élucidation. Il permet de travailler
la langue, mettre en place un travail phonologique précis, donner lieu à une lecture à haute voix
ou à une mise en scène.
Nous vous souhaitons de bonnes séances vidéo !

I. Grammaire
Les déterminants ont été supprimés du script. Complétez les espaces blancs avec
the ou a/an lorsque c’est nécessaire. Attention aux majuscules en tête de phrases.
1. Hidden high in mist-shrouded hills of Rwanda’s wilderness, one of world’s
most precious creatures is making comeback. We make long journey
up towering slopes of Virunga volcanoes with a small group of tourists.
We’re tightly controlled: conservation lies at heart of this African success
story. This is place where Nature, now, comes first. Deep in rainforest,
we’re suddenly stopped in our tracks… and there, in bamboo, our first glimpse of
gorillas. This family of 21 is led by silverback “Agasha”. His name means
‘special’, and he is, for there are only 700 mountain gorillas alive in world today,
and half of them live in this region.
2. These babies are testament to huge efforts to ensure gorillas’
future. Before, many were targeted by poachers, but in past decade,
gorilla numbers in Rwanda have grown by more than 10%. And this is why these
communities, once their enemies, are now their protectors. They guard them from
poachers and they’ve also built walls to safeguard rainforests.
“These gorillas are making our lives much better”, village leader tells me.
money generated has built new roads, schools, and clinics. In Rwanda,
man has helped Nature and now Nature in turn is giving helping
hand to man.
3. It’s truly mesmerizing to get this close to one of world’s most endangered species.
When you think of challenges that these amazing creatures have had to overcome,
the threats from poachers and destruction to their habitat, it is amazing
that their numbers are now on increase. And that’s thanks to huge
conservation efforts that are being made here in Rwanda.
Ever curious, this baby catches his reflection in our camera lens. ITV News camera
man Andy Rex suddenly finds himself centre of attention, as baby comes in
for a closer look. Our group is closely watched by guides to make sure animals
are never stressed by our presence; we’re only allowed up to one hour and always keep our
distance. On our journey back, guides told me how important village’s support
and protection for gorillas has been; without it, they would never stand a chance. In this

of course, after 9/11, you take them to see the World Trade Centre, the Ground Zero Site.

Journalist: What do you want to teach your children?

Cherry: I want them to have a strong sense of who they are and have a lot of values about
being Black Feet because a lot of times Indians are portrayed in a very negative light, in
a negative way. They must realize sacrifices were made for their life and they do have a
responsibility to their friends, to their relatives, and to their family.
Journalist: In your opinion, what influences young Native Americans today?
Cherry: They are influenced by a lot of things, by TV, by drugs, by alcohol, by a lot of things
that aren’t a part of our culture and they need to live in both worlds.
Journalist: Why do you give your children Black Feet names?
Cherry: We give our children Black Feet names so that when they die, the Creator will
recognize them by their Indian name. And it’s just a part of learning about their heritage.
They will have something to teach their children in the next generation.

as much as total expenditure / spending. Therefore this awful transaction was definitely

Journalist: Mr Johns, you are a renowned historian from Liverpool Slavery Museum. Could
you tell us how profitable the slave trade was?
Mr Johns: Oh well, there’s no doubt that big money was at stake and fortunes were made;
I’ll give you an example. Are you good at maths?
Journalist: Well...
Mr Johns: You’ll understand: Let’s take, eh, the Enterprise; that was a slave ship from Liverpool.
The account book gives us very accurate figures. The ship’s owner had to pay for the ship’s
costs (sails, repairs, and equipment and so on) which came to about £2,500. Plus the cargo
for trading with the African chiefs, say, £4,500. The sailors’ wages were £1,300. You have
to add £950 for various costs during the crossings (for example, water, food, supplies, and
so on...) and the agents’ commissions for the slaves’ trading, let’s say £3,000. So the total
spending is eh...
Journalist: Well, let’s see... about £10,000?
Mr Johns: Eh, yes, more or less: £12,250 to be precise.
Journalist: It’s quite an investment, so what about the profits?
Mr Johns: The 356 Africans were sold for £22,000. They made big money.

CORRIGÉ UNITÉ 14 Blue Beard strikes back

Durant l’absence de son mari, une jeune mariée reçoit un coup de téléphone et confie
à son interlocutrice ses inquiétudes concernant son époux. Son apparence physique
l’effraie parfois (il est très grand, blond et fort comme un Viking et porte une barbe très
fournie, son regard perçant la glace de terreur). Son attitude est aussi mystérieuse
(il s’absente régulièrement plusieurs jours sans préciser où il part). Mais surtout, dès
qu’ils ont emménagé dans la demeure familiale, il lui a interdit de pénétrer dans la remise
au fond du jardin, fermée avec une clef qui aurait été égarée, selon lui. De plus, certaines
conversations qu’elle a surprises, évoquant les autres épouses de son mari, comme s’il
avait déjà été marié et qu’elles aient toutes disparu, renforcent son angoisse. Elle laisse
libre cours à son imagination et se demande si son mari ne cache pas les corps de ses
précédentes épouses qu’il aurait tuées. Malgré sa curiosité, elle n’a jamais franchi le
pas de peur de désobéir à ce mari si impressionnant. Pourtant, cet après-midi-là, elle
entend la porte de la cabane qui claque et, elle entre pour voir ce qu’elle contient. À
son grand soulagement, elle ne trouve que des outils de jardinage. Entendant son époux
qui approche, elle raccroche précipitamment et celui-ci, furieux qu’elle ait désobéi à ses
ordres, lui dévoile son vrai visage : il teint ses cheveux noirs en blond pour paraître moins
sinistre, il se nourrit du sang de ses jeunes épouses comme un vampire et utilise la scie
qu’elle a trouvée dans la remise, pour découper en morceaux le corps de ses victimes.
Il révèle qu’elles sont enterrées au sous-sol car elles aussi ont découvert son secret et
l’invite à les rejoindre pour leur tenir compagnie !

Woman 2: (nervous voice, slightly hysterical) It’s weird, you know, but I must admit my
husband is scary sometimes. We’ve been married for a month now; he is... well, he’s tall, very
tall and big, strong and impressive. He looks like a Viking, very blond with a bushy beard and
piercing eyes. The way he looks at me is so creepy... but he loves me I know, ah, ah, ah, I’m
overdoing it. But you see I got nervous when I overheard some of his friends talking – well
in low voices – about his other wives! As if he’d already been married several times... and
they were saying they had disappeared... This is ridiculous, I must have got it wrong; it’s so
unlike him. When I moved into his old family house he became tense and watchful; he strictly
forbade me from going into the shed at the back of the garden. It looks like a doll’s house
and I’d noticed it immediately... a little girl’s interest (nervous laugh). He told me it had been
locked for ages and no one could find a key. I must confess I was too scared to disobey... Until
this afternoon. The weather was gorgeous and I’d decided to enjoy the sunshine outside...
My husband’s away... He doesn’t tell me where he goes and often leaves me for days. And
he looked so tired when he left. I hope he’s OK. And guess what?: I heard the old wooden
door bang, so I tried to open the shed and I couldn’t believe it: It wasn’t locked at all... So
I wondered: What should I do? Should I get in? Well just a quick look... Maybe I’ll find his other
wives’ bodies (nervous giggle), don’t be stupid and so romantic! Husbands and wives have no
secrets, do they? Wow, you won’t believe your ears, no corpse, no knive, no sword (relaxed
laughing)... just basic tools, gardening equipment, and lots of it. I didn’t know he enjoyed
gardening, he never does any! (Laughter.) Oh what’s that? I can hear him; I’ll call you back.

about an hour from water and... um, it’s a fairly small town, about 72,000 people live there
and, um, unlike the rest of Jamaica, it tends to be less hot, because it’s in the mountains.
Journalist: So, it’s a fairly big island if you can be an hour from the sea?
Guest: Yes... it’s an hour from the sea and three hours from a good beach, so it’s, it’s the
third largest island in the Caribbean, so it’s a little bigger um… than most islands. I describe it
as larger than Corsica but smaller than Île-de-France.
Journalist: Oh, I see.

Guest: Yeah, in between.

Journalist: Yeah. How come you are an English native speaker?
Guest: Well, Jamaica is a country where we speak English and that’s because Jamaica used
to be part of the British colonies so England speaks English, hence Jamaica speaks English.
Journalist: I see, and is there another language as well?
Guest: There’s a local dialect which is a sort of, like a Creole English with mixes from different
African words, and a few Spanish words, but it’s not a language that’s used in school at all.
You only use it, um, in speaking with your friends and, in my family, my mother is an English
teacher, so we could not use it in our house (laughs) except when my sister and I wanted
to annoy our mother, then we would speak in Creole, in Patois, that is what we call it, but
otherwise, it’s, everything is in English.
Journalist: I see. Oh good. For somebody who’s never been there, how would you describe
Jamaica?
Guest: Well, like I said, it’s the third largest island in the Caribbean. It’s um… the most
important thing I think about Jamaica, it’s, it’s the weather, it’s the climate, it’s warm all year
round, I tell people. Even when it’s cold, it’s still warm, cause cold for us is 14 degrees and we
think that the world is going to end (laughs) and it’s only 14 degrees three days for the year
maybe. Otherwise, like today, it’s 22, I checked and I live in the mountains in Jamaica, so it’s
cooler than the rest of Jamaica, and it’s 22 degrees. So, it’s warm all year round, so it’s very
good in winter to escape to. Um, another thing that I would say about Jamaica, the people
from Jamaica, they’re mostly persons who, um, they’re mostly Black, they’re mostly African
slaves. But then, we have people from India, from China, there’re lots of people from China.
My mum is actually learning, considering learning Chinese.
Journalist: Really?
Guest: Because they have so many Chinese persons that have moved into Jamaica... um
a small Indian community as well, so we have people from everywhere. The national motto
of Jamaica is actually “Out of many, one people” because of the different people that have
come from other places to live in Jamaica.
Journalist: Out of many, one people.
Guest: That’s it.
Journalist: That sounds good.
