R2/2ndeProR – Shopaholism

Culture, Funny, Listening, Reading 2 commentaires

Dear students,
We are starting a study about shopaholism and “Buy Nothing Day”.

As an appetizer, watch the trailer with subtitles of the film called “Confessions of a Shopaholic”
confessions-of-a-shopaholic-2009-trailer-f93819.html

and write and answer these questions on your notebook.

– What ‘magic’ is she referring to?
Stores / women / credit cards / shoes
– Her ___ is made by Gucci.
belt / dress / bag / bloomwood
– Her heart goes like warm butter when she sees ___.
a store / warm toast / someone cute / a guy
– Where does she get a job?
At a bookshop / At a magazine / At a savings bank / At a store
– Which language does she claim to speak?
Prada / French / Finnish / Shopping

This is the plot of the film : This romantic comedy was based on the novels ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ and ‘Shopaholic Takes Manhattan’ by Sophie Kinsella.
Rebecca Bloomwood is a young woman with a dangerously unhealthy obsession with shopping which has left her heavily in debt. After several failed attempts to cut back on her spending, she eventually gets a job (rather ironically) as a financial advisor for a magazine. Rebecca becomes famous almost overnight after writing a popular article about shoes, and uses her new-found celebrity to help solve her own financial problems. In the meantime, she begins a romantic relationship with a wealthy entrepreneur, Luke.

Enjoy!

H1 – 2PROS : British school uniforms

Culture, Speaking 8 commentaires

Dear H1 and 2 PROS students…

As you are now learning how to describe people… I thought it could be interesting for you to have a look at the British school uniforms. It’s easy to describe and to remember. Of course the clothes and the colors may change from a school to another. They also depend on the season, and it’s not exactly the same for boys and girls… Look at the pictures and describe the boy and the girl on picture 1.

Pictures 1 and 2 : typical school uniforms
