Exprimer le conseil
On utilise SHOULD et OUGHT TO pour donner des conseils. Ils sont toujours suivis d'une base verbale et ils sont invariables. SHOULD est beaucoup plus utilisé que OUGHT TO.
Example : We shouldn't buy so many cell phones. We ought to reuse them. The Americans ought to buy less things and invest more on education. They shouldn’t throw away so many clothes.

FOOD RESCUED FROM DUMPSTERS
Where do you think the food comes from?
The problem is that grocery stores throw away good
food that could still be eaten by people who can’t
afford to buy it. Grocery stores should stop dumping their excess
food /wasting food and we expect that they start donating it to people in need.

Watch carefully. What is a thrift shop?
THRIFT SHOP
by Macklemore
Let's play with the lyrics
A thrift shop gives a second life to objects. It allows
people who have little money to buy second- hand things. Besides, it’s more sustainable = ecological, it reduces environmental impact ; whereas a regular shop is more expensive
and promotes overconsumption…
Hokusay, The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1831)
Chris Jordan, Gyre (2009)
Instead of paint, the colors are composed of 2.4 million pieces of plastic – the estimated number of pounds of plastic that enter the world’s ocean’s every hour!
What message does the artist want to convey?
The artist wants us to realize that overconsumption
is leading to the destruction of the ocean. He wants
us to use less plastic in our everyday life… He problably wants to sound the alarm…
FINAL TASK
Like Chris Jordan, create a work with recyclable objects and take a photograph to raise awareness of oversconsumption for the school exhibition :) !
