This document is a drawing, possibly a caricature for a website or magazine.

The colors are mainly red, blue and white. We can see two politics with animal heads. The one on the left is an elephant, the one on the right is a donkey. They are standing behind a podium and they look angry. Each podium has a letter: D for the donkey and R for the elephant. I see guess these two animals represent the candidates of the two main political parties in the USA: the democrats and the republicans. In November 2024, American voters will choose their new president. This cartoon must be from an criticist about the American political system.

Donald Trump became the new forty-seventh Republican president of the United States of America from 6am to 11am French time in 2024 for his last term taking over Joe Biden who was the forty-sixth president.

We learnt that it is likely that abortion will be forbidden all over the country. Donald Trump promised to give the middle classes more money. Journalists said that a lot of his ideas were contradictory. Some swing states used to vote for the democratic party rather than the Republican party.

In this song Pink is blaming the president for not helping people in need / for not providing the Homeless with a bed.

She criticizes George W. Bush, because he didn't help American people during the Irak War.

She denounces the fact he didn't help enough teenagers who suffered from addictions.

He didn't solve poverty.

Title: IDK

I suppose, the man is dreaming of becoming a rockstar or a movie star.

He also seems to be dreaming of becoming a successful athlete or even the president of the USA.

In a word, he is dreaming of becoming someone rich and famous / successful.

Santa's sack sags slightly

Sort of audio, Who, What, nb of speakers.

a street-interview, there are 5 speakers. The speakers idea:

If the first man were president, he would reduce poverty and he would make every American work. He thinks spending money on wars is a waste.
If the second man were elected president, he wouldn't want the job because he thinks he is too old.
If the third man were president, he would do whatever he wants and he would make the day after the Super Bowl a holiday. He thinks football should be the nation's priority.
If the first woman were president, she would stop global warming and she would make everyone recycle. She thinks the environment needs more attention.
If the second woman were president, she would finance research to counter AIDS, cancer, and other diseases. She thinks medical progress is crucial.
If the sixth speaker were president and if she had enough money, she would finance research to cure cancer and other diseases.
If the fourth speaker were president, he would make the day after the Super Bowl a holiday and he would make football the nation's priority.
If the fifth speaker were president, he would reduce pollution by stopping global warming.

ç_

I would recycle if I had more time.
If I were you, I'd work harder
If I were the teacher, I would give less homework.
I would buy a yacht if I won the lottery.
If I met Madonna, I'd ask her for her autograph

_

If i were rich, I'd buy a big house near the sea.
If i lived near the sea, I would walk on the beach every day
Also, if i had a lot of money, I'd give some to my family and I'd help people who are very poor.

I would strengthen gun control by making a certification necessary, add more forces to child protection programs, force the government to use ONLY open-source software, try to revoque DMCA some parts of the DMCA.

New Year's resolutions:

(examples)

I will exercise more
I will stop smoking

The cat's answer is ironic, because a New Year's resolution is a promise which a person makes to be a better person at the beginning of the New Year, but which most people give up / are unable to stick to for more than a few days. What about you ? Do you make resolutions for the New Year? Do you usually stick to them or not ? If yes, how long for ?

Personally, I didn't make New Year Resolutions because I already knew I wouldn't stick to them and I prefer keeping my immediate future unknown, I prefer doing day-to-day resolutions.

I will, I want, I would like

make laws for gun-related crimes harsher, and i would legalize popular drugs but force a heavy tax on them and a repelling packaging, coupled with ads to make people aware of the problems caused by drugs. If someone still wants to buy drugs after that, thats their choice I would also completely remove DMCA and rewrite a new law with less intellectual property rights, especially on trade secrets and shareable media, and expand fair use clauses.

My pet would probably the dog i already have.

Who would live with me in the White House. Nobody.

Final challenge: Writing: You are a journalist in the early 20^th century for a famous British newspaper. Write about women's fight for the right to vote.

The new chapter will be about the suffragettes, who fought for the voting rights for women.

The new chapter will be about the fight of British women for their right to vote during the World War One (the first World War), because we can see three woman who are holding banners where it is written "vote for women". It will be about their protest to become equal to men. The Suffragettes were British women who wanted to have the rights to vote at the beginning of the 20th century. They fought for their rights, because they were supposed to do what their husbands wanted during the Victorian Age. THe picture on the left is a photo from an article in a newspaper, whereas the picture on the right looks like the front cover of a novel or it must be the movies poster of the movie "Suffragette"

À partir de la bande-annonce du film "Suffragette", Maud Watts est présentée comme une jeune femme ordinaire, travaillant dur dans une blanchisserie industrielle pour subvenir aux besoins de sa famille. Au début, elle semble réticente à s'impliquer dans des activités militantes. Cependant, après avoir été témoin des injustices et des abus dont sont victimes les femmes autour d'elle, elle commence à remettre en question sa situation et celle des autres femmes de son époque.

La bande-annonce met en avant son évolution dramatique :

Une prise de conscience : Maud découvre le mouvement des suffragettes à travers des figures comme Emmeline Pankhurst (jouée par Meryl Streep) et se rend compte de l'ampleur de l'oppression des femmes.
Des choix difficiles : On la voit confrontée à des dilemmes personnels, notamment les conséquences sur sa vie de famille et son travail. Son engagement militant la pousse à défier les normes sociales et les autorités.
Un combat déterminé : La bande-annonce montre des scènes de manifestations, d’affrontements avec la police et d’actes de désobéissance civile, où Maud devient un symbole de courage et de rébellion. She worked since she was 7 (first part-time then full-tile at 12). She was soon married to someone. She started to fight for women's right to vote.

They organized riots THey smashed windows They set fire to post boxes They burned down buildings

they used unlawful methods for their cause.

1928

Planisaf nono4po Labfox

Hello everyone, we're going to talk about "the representation of the people's act". In 1918, a new law was created, "the representation of the peole's act", granting to British women the right to vote if they were over 30, owned property (themselves or by marriage). This year, over 8.4 million women could vote, and, later in 1928, women finally received equal suffrage with men.

This picture is a photograph in grayscale, this scene took place in the street during a protest in London, probably in the 20th century.

In the foregrounds, we can see a woman holding a banner with a tagline, "Vote for Women".

That woman was wearing black clothing, with a fancy. On the left we can see someone wih similar clothes, maybe also part of the manifest.

On the right of this picture, there's another protester holding another banner, we can also see some buildings and parts of the street, but the background is very blurry. This photograph shows the fight needed for women's voting rights

In this text, I learnt the meaning of three words, breakthrough, meaning a huge amount of progress (in French un énorme progrès), through, meaning "à travers" in French, and also own, in French "posséder". =======

Women were supposed to be weaker than men. MEn were more independent than women Men were stronger than women THe UK were more advanced than the other European countries. It was easier to ravel long distances

Women weren't expected to be seen in public spaces Public spaces were reserved for men. Women were considered weaker than men Men were considered more rational and logical. Women were supposed to be passive. Men were more individual than women.

Men were supposed more active than women
Men were powerful contrary to women who had to be weaker
To conclude, men were supposed to belong to the public sphere, as opposed tom en who were expected to be part of the private sphere

Don't underestimate the power we, women, have In order to be heard, the suffragettes had to be violent and hey had to defy the government In 1912, women started protesting for their rights Because they broke the law, they were imprisoned During the Victorian Era, women used to be obedient. THey didn't used to be disrespectful Maud Watts, the main character became a protester and an activist because she had enough of doing what men told her. Emeline Pankhurst made history with the Suffragette movement.

On peut utiliser la structure BE GOING TO dans plusieurs cas. Voici les deux plus courants:

Une décision a été price avant le moment ou l'on parle
On prédit un évènement à partir d'indices.

La structure est simple: Sujet + be (conjugé) going to + base verbale.

WILL est différent dans le sens ou il est utilisé pour parler d'un avenir quasi-certain ou pour une décision prise dans l'instant.
