Comment parler de son emploi du temps :

Pour parler de son emploi du temps et des matières il faut se rappeler de deux détails importants : 1 : on utilise le verbe HAVE : I have mathematics on Monday. 2: On met le mot "on" devant les jours de la semaine : I have mathematics on Monday.

Your turn ! Look at the timetable and complete the sentences :

1/ I .............................. french .............. friday. 2/ She ......................... music ...... ................. and ................... . 3/ We ............................ english ........ ................... and .............. . 4/ I ................................. ........................... ........ Monday and Thursday. 5/ I have mathematics ...... ........................................................... .............................................................. .

It's time for the challenge! In pairs : Student 1 chooses a day on the timetable and describes it. Ex : I have mathematics, music and english. Student 2 guesses : It's Tuesday !

CHALLENGE 2 In groups : Imagine your own timetable ! Student 1 imagines Monday Student 2 imagines Tuesday Student 3 imagines Wednesday. student 4 imagines Thursday student 5 imagines Friday. Student 1 describes Monday and the others fill the timetable. Then Student 2 describes Tuesday... etc...

II/ Telling the time

Nous allons apprendre à lire l'heure en anglais. Tout d'abord, il faut apprendre à se repérer sur l'horloge.

Le côté de l'horloge où la grande aiguille se situe.

Les minutes

Les Heures

Maintenant que l'on connaît tous les éléments importants sur l'horloge, nous allons apprendre à suivre les aiguilles et l'ordre d'annonce. Rappel : La grande aiguille indique les .............................................. . La petite aiguille indique les ............................................. .

En français on commence par annoncer les ............................................. et ensuite les ................................................... . Observe les aiguilles sur l'horloge et note l'heure : Il est ................................................................................... .

En Anglais c'est différent. Il faut suivre un ordre précis pour annoncer l'heure correctement : minutes + côté de l'horloge + heure.

Pour annoncer l'heure de cette horloge il faut donc repérer les éléments suivants : minutes : five côté de l'horloge : past heures : eleven Maintenant que nous avons repéré les éléments, nous pouvons annoncer l'heure: It's five past eleven. Il est onze heures cinq. 11h05.

ATTENTION : Il y a deux cas particuliers : Pour la demi-heure (quand la grande aiguille est sur le 6) on dira toujours "half past". ex: 11h30 = half past eleven Pour l'heure pile on ne précise pas le côté de l'horloge, et l'ordre d'annonce change : heure + minutes EX: 6h00 = six o'clock.

Exercise 1Write the number of the correct time under the clocks.

1. It's twenty to eight.2. It's ten to six. 3. It's six o'clock. 4. It's five to seven. 5. It's a quarter to two. 6. It's twelve o'clock.

II/ Telling the time

Exercise 2 Complete the sentences :

8h00It's eight ............................................ . 11h50 It's ten ............................................ ............................................ . 6h30 It's ............................................ ............................................ six. 15h45 It's quarter ............................................ ............................................ . 16h20 ............................................ twenty ............................................ four.

Phonology

En anglais on prononce les mots en accentuant l’une des syllabes. C'est-à-dire que l’on met en valeur l’une des syllabes en la prononçant de manière plus marquée que le reste du mot. Il y a une règle simple pour savoir quelle syllabe accentuer en anglais : On accentue presque toujours la première syllabe du mot : ‘Afternoon, ‘morning. On symbolise l’accentuation en plaçant une apostrophe devant la syllabe accentuée. Attention ! Il y a des exceptions ! Si la dernière syllabe du mot comporte un « i », on accentue l’avant dernière syllabe. Ex : peri’odic Si le mot se termine par « y », on accentue la deuxième syllabe avant la dernière. Ex : Ele’mentary.
