Class 11: Info about the Last Test, Correction LeClézio


ATTENTION!!!!
The final test (DST) will be held on
Tuesday 4th May in Amphi Josserand, from 14h to 15h. (Those people who are authorized to have a "tiers de temps", please contact me this week).

Both groups will be together (also with my Multimedia students).
Please sit in every other chair (meaning, leave a space for a Multimedia student between two Thème students).


The best way to prepare for this test is to review your texts from this semester. Look at the mistakes that you make and try to be aware of them (for example, systematic confusion between two tenses). You should also continue to read and be exposed to English in all its forms.


CORRECTION LE CLEZIO:


She could remember her first winter in the mountains and the music (sonority) of the water in springtime. When was it? She was walking between her father and mother in the village street, holding their hands, one arm pulled more to one side because her father was so tall. Water was flowing down from everywhere, making all that music, hissing, whistling and drumming. Every time she thought of (remembered) that, she felt like laughing (it made her want to laugh) because it was a soft and funny noise like a caress. She was laughing then too, there between her father and mother (her parents), and the water in the drain pipes and in the stream answered her (echoed her voice), slipping and tumbling. Now with the burning heat of summer and the sky an intense blue, there was a happiness that filled her whole body which was almost frightening. She especially liked the big, grassy slope which rose towards the sky just outside of the village. She never went to the top of it because it was said that there were vipers. She walked for a while next to the field just to feel the coolness of the earth (soil), the edgy blades against her lips. From time to time, the grass was so high she disappeared completely (it hid her completely). She was thirteen years old, was named Hélène Grève, but her father called her Esther.
