Entraînement compréhension orale (sur l'Écosse)

Course 1 p 29

Axis : Les univers professionnels, le monde du travail

Topic : WELCOME ABROAD

Question : How can working abroad be a positive experience?

La seconde est une année charnière où la réflexion sur l’avenir professionnel doit venir confirmer ou interroger l’orientation envisagée.

C’est encore le moment d’imaginer des métiers possibles dans un monde en pleine évolution.

Comment choisit-on un métier ? Quelles sont les professions qui font rêver et comment se traduisent ces rêves ?

Quelles sont les critères qui président au choix d’un métier ?

D’un pays à l’autre, d’une culture à l’autre, les professions diffèrent parfois, comme la perception du monde professionnel, de la notion du travail ou les conditions d’emploi.

Le travail est un lieu de socialisation

Changer de travail suppose la prise de décision, cela implique parfois de partir à l’étranger.

Les migrations sont souvent liées au travail et constituent une source d’inspiration pour la littérature et le cinéma principalement, mais pas de manière exclusive.

1. Picture : why is it humorous?

2. Think twice : find 5 advantages regarding a working experience in a foreign country + Find five drawbacks (pros and cons)

1/ Global comprehension (use the source, the title , the caption / la légende the illustration to present the document as clearly and concisely as possible (aussi clairement et de façon aussi concise que possible)

B/ Detailed comprehension => WORKSHEET :

Notes from a Small Island B p 33 Questions to help you with the detailed comprehension of the document.

After presenting the document, read the text carefully and answer the following questions

1. First sentence: "____________________________________________________________________________________"

Tense & conjugation (le temps et la conjugaison) :

The _____________________➢___________________________________________________________

C’est le temps du récit. Avec ce temps, on signale que l’action est passée et datée.

2. Which parts of Edinburgh does the author choose to describe?

____________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________

He uses a lot of adjectives to describe them. Note down ALL the adjectives + the nouns.

____________________________________________________________________________________

You can see that the adjectives are placed before the noun while in French the adjective is usually placed after the noun (we do not say “un bleu ciel” in French, do we?

But we say “a blue sky in English”.

3. Where are the castle and the Bank of Scotland located?

____________________________________________________________________________________

Where are the Balmoral Hotel and the Scott Memorial located?

____________________________________________________________________________________

Look at the illustration in your book to visualize the city with its different altitudes.

It is all but flat, isn’t it? Say how it looks in your own words:

____________________________________________________________________________________

4. An adjective is repeated 5 times. Which one? “____________________”

What does it say about the author’s feelings regarding his first impressions of Edinburgh?

____________________________________________________________________________________

5. In the text, find ….

an adjective meaning “mysterious” or “creepy”: ___________________

an adjective meaning “enchanting”: _______________________

an adjective meaning “very busy and in a hurry” : “_____________________”

an adjective meaning “cold, invigorating”: “________________________”

6. Now, use your findings above to answer question B/ and C/ of your book p 32 as best as you can. Here are the questions:

B/ Make a list of things Bill Bryson discover in Edinburgh

____________________________________________________________________________________

C/ In your own words, describe Bryson’s experience and feelings.
