DURING the quarantine

Hello! Good day to you all!

How you doin'? (as Joey from the TV show Friends would say.)

Today, ladies and gentlemen, a piece of advice (un morceau de conseil, littéralement.) :

Watch Some Good News! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOe_y6KKvS3PdIfb9q9pGug

It's fun and up-lifting (up=haut / lift=soulever)! And I like it.

BUT NOW... Work!

Please, watch this mostly (principalement) silent video.

Ex1: Present the document. (Date of the document / “Author” of the document / Nature

of the document / Source of the document (hint: Y--T----) with complete sentences.

(ATTENTION. Je remets ma casquette MAKE THE PASSIVE VOICE GREAT AGAIN. In the past,

nous avons étudié le PASSIF. Tout est dans votre cahier. U-ti-li-sez le!)

(Si vous pouvez imprimer le texte d'en dessous, ça serait l'idéal, mais eh... c'est pas possible pour tout le monde et ça n'est pas grave!)

TRANSCRIPT OF THE VIDEO:

There have been outpourings of solidarity around the globe as people try to help and cheer each other up amid the coronavirus epidemic.

In Italy, people in quarantine have taken to their balconies to lift neighbour's spirits with music and singing. (Agrigento, Sicily / Florence / Roccascalegna / Naples / Naples)

Others have taken up niches sport to pass the time, like playing table tennis 'outdoors' even while in quarantine. And this sports instructor in Spain offered his neighbours a free areobics class.

People have also been thanking medical workers by clapping from their balconies (Madrid, Spain / Athens,Greece / Lisbon, Portugal / Rome, Italy)

Many have also been leaving notes for their neighbours to offer help to the elderly. Notes are popping up across the world, from Bosnia,to Austria and the US.

Ex3: In the transcript of the video ↑↑↑↑↑ :

a. Find (trouve) the verb HAVE. (5 times)

b. Find the verb that follows it. (ATTENTION! Also = aussi. Ca n'est donc pas un verbe... HINT! Vous cherchez des verbes au participe passé et en plus c'est tout le temps les mêmes... Vous avez la liste des participes passés et vous en connaissez déjà certains, par coeur... EAT / ATE / EATEN... VISIT / VISITED / VISITED... CUT / CUT / CUT.)

Pet your dog, for me.
