Message de here4u posté le 08-11-2014 à 20:23:35 (S | E | F)
Hello, Hardworkers !

(* First this exercise is numbered 21 and not 20 as expected, just because I'd put an 'Intermède' N° 5 without giving it a number ... Anyway, that's not really important, is it ?)

In this challenge, you'll have 5 different exercises ;
In the first 3 sentences, you're simply given a prompt, and have to complete the sentences freely so that they have a meaning and are correct ! (You can choose to be serious, funny, choose an only theme for the 3 etc. Freedom ...)
The following exercise, (N° 2) is a simple translation from French to English. No freedom here ! Stick to the text as faithfully as possible !
The third one is 'New' It's about vocabulary ...
Number 4 will be re-ordering that you may do, or not, according to your preferences !
And number 5 has already given me quite a headache. I need a diagram and did it, but it wouldn't come on the Forum ... My computer seems to be tired of my poor experiencing with it ... and my hotline is out of France just now ! I'll try to improve it ...as I can ...
It's a (going on minus ...)exercise, and I'll post the correction on the 17th of november (if it's right for you !) Changes taken into account till the 14h at night.
I hope you'll have a good time, and will learn a little !

1) End the sentences ....
a) You'd better buy one in case .........
b) He hid behind the door in order that .....
c) Come a little nearer so that……

2) Translate into English :
d) Il faut que tu comprennes que je n'avais rien fait de mal à ce moment là ; j’avais juste fait semblant de le frapper et comme je l’avais prévenu, il devait esquiver !
e) C’est la seule chose que je désire vraiment, mais on m'a dit que je ne la trouverai jamais ! C'est désespérant!
f) Personne ne m'a dit ce que tout le monde sait depuis plusieurs jours : il ne lui reste plus rien car elle a tout perdu ! Qui pourra l’aider ?
g) Mon frère n'arrive pas à se remettre de sa rupture avec ma meilleure amie; ils vivaient ensemble depuis 5 ans et il n'arrive pas à tourner la page ....

3) Vocabulary : For each of the 'root' words, give as many 'derived words' as you can ( the number given is the minimum you must submit)
ex : Harm : Harmed - Unharmed - Harming - Harmless - Harmlessly – Harmful – Harmfully –

a) Power (5).
b) Bear (4)
c) Cover (5)
d) Avoid (4)

4) Re-ordering I know that some of you are very keen on that, and that others don't appreciate ... feel free to drop whatever sentence(s) bother(s) you !
If you feel like it, make meaningful sentences, using all the words given.
a) He / the / the / it / for / you / that / his / him / him / has / be / better / sooner / exam / tell / will / missed /, / ./

b) It / it / you / in / so / of / front / first / many / was / wasn't / had / the / people / time / spoken / , / ? /

c) I / you / your / or / do / don't / are / how / in / there / six / seven / many / new / brother / rooms / house / precisely / know / 's / , / , / ? / ?./

5)Insert letters and letter groups into the diagram to form words reading across and matching the clues below.
A BONUS word will read diagonally down in the blocks.

B / N / R / O / Y / I / ER / OL / SI / TA / TO / VI / LL / CTO / ELY / NCE / ( = 16)

Here, there should be a diagram ...(4 cols. 4 lines) but our Master told me that diagrams couldn't be made on the Forum
I'll try to work that out , with the stratagem he has suggested (but I'm hopeless ! ) or find a way to do without it.

Line 1 : ......... .......... .......... ..........

Line 2 : ......... .......... .......... ..........

Line 3 : ......... .......... .......... ..........

Line 4 : ......... .......... .......... ..........

ACROSS :
Line 1 = Stringed instrument
Line 2 = Tenth Month
Line 3 = Letter sign-off
Line 4 = Completely

Anyway ! I hope you'll have fun ! and will be as good as usual! Enjoy !

Bon, alors, ATTENTION !Je crois être en sur-tension ... Une autre coquille ou erreur, comme vous le voulez ! Shame on me !

Hi again

I think I have found them all, but are you sure there isn't a typo in the block of letters I have highlighted in blue?

Yes ! there's one ! You're right Lucile !
When reading and fighting against my ailing computer (and Laurent's Forum ...) I stupidly put slashes to separate the letters which, in spite of the great number of blanks I had left, were always insisting on sticking together ! and I made a mistake !
it's /VI/LL Glad that Thin Sister is watching us ! Thank you ever so much, Lucile !
I would have read over again tomorrow, but couldn't stand it tonight ! I'm quite exhausted ...Sorry !

Hello Here4u and Lucile
Thank you Lucile for your correction in question 5.
Anyway, that wasn't too difficult a question (unlike 4.a which is worth ) !!! I don't know what to do with the second "his"

Réponse: More variety / Ex 21 de lucile83, postée le 11-11-2014 à 18:19:57 (S | E)
Hello maxwell,
I can't tell you about 4.a as I didn't even read the questions. I just felt like finding the 5. Anyway I'll have a look at 4. in the evening or tomorrow. I'll tell you whether I found the sentence 4.a, but nothing else

Réponse: More variety / Ex 21 de here4u, postée le 11-11-2014 à 19:41:19 (S | E)
Alas, no ! It wasn't worth ... Sorry for making you waste your time and turn your brains into cubes again ! It's another one of my stupid mistakes ... Shame on me ... (correction above and below ...) and my most sincere apologies ...
(take the extra HIS out and add EXAM ! and it will become !)

E - That’s the only thing I really want, but I was told that I would never find it! It’s hopeless!
F - Nobody told me that everybody knows for several days: there is nothing left to him, because
she lost everything! Who may help him?

You're right, it's much easier that way. But I didn't waste my time : Trying to find nouns to match with "his", I've learned that better can be a noun, meaning "superior", "manager".
But don't you think we should capitalize "The" instead of "He" in this question 4.a ?

Réponse: More variety / Ex 21 de here4u, postée le 11-11-2014 à 20:52:34 (S | E)
Hum ... Well ! I know I'm naughty, but Capitalizing one word would be giving you the first word ! So, as I'm quite dumb, I just put a capital on the first word I chose to give you ...(It could be 'I', and there I'd be (I was !) really naughty ...)
You can't imagine I'm going to help you (right away), can you ? You're responsible for that ... All of You are too good !

certains "trichent" or rather , 'choose the easy way out' ...
Après 'in case' (phrase 1), un nom ne m'intéresse pas ... Je voudrais un sujet + verbe ! Tout de même !

Bonjour

1) End the sentences ...
a) You'd better buy one in case he insists that Tom wear it for his graduation ceremony.
b) He hid behind the door so that the guests couldn't find him. I suggest that he come and greet them right this minute! (I'm sorry, I can't make a good-sounding sentence with "in order that")
c) Come a little nearer so that I may see you more clearly. Ah! How you've grown!

2)
d) You must understand that I hadn't done anything wrong at the time; I had only pretended to hit him and since he had been forewarned, he should have ducked!
e) It's the one thing (that) I truly desire but was told (that) I will never find. It's hopeless! (Rien n'est désespérant )
f) No one told me what everyone has known for several days: there is nothing left for her because she has lost everything! Who could possibly help her?
g) My brother hasn't gotten over the breakup with my best friend; they had been living together for five years and he hasn't been able to move on...

Thank you Lucile for thanking me for this exercise which had those involuntary traps. I know I didn't make things easy for you ... (Maxwell has already forgiven me ! )

Have a wonderful weekend !

Hello dear Here4u!
Je n'ai pas eu le temps de souffler over the last few days et j'arrive sur les chapeaux de roues pour te proposer les deux premières questions et c'est tout
Mais, même pas honte car voilà qui va alléger tes corrections !

1) End the sentences :

a) You'd better buy one in case it becomes outrageously expensive.
b) He hid behind the door in order that nobody knew he was listening to everything...
c) "Come a little nearer so that I can box your ears a little!", Granny said.

2) Translate into English:

d) Il faut que tu comprennes qu'à ce moment-là, je n'avais rien fait de mal ; j'avais juste fait semblant de le frapper et, comme je l'avais prévenu, il devait esquiver !
You must understand that then, I hadn't done anything wrong ; I had only been pretending to hit him and he had of course to duck as agreed!

e) C'est la seule chose que je désire vraiment, mais on m'a dit que je ne la trouverais jamais ! C'est désespérant !
It's the only thing I really desire, but I was told I would never find it, ~~what~~ which is hopeless!

f) Personne ne m'a dit ce que tout le monde sait depuis plusieurs jours : il ne lui reste plus rien car elle a tout perdu ! Qui pourra l'aider ?
I haven't ever been told what everybody's known for several days: she's got nothing left as she's lost everything! Who will be able to help her?

g) Mon frère n'arrive pas à se remettre de sa rupture avec ma meilleure amie ; ils vivaient ensemble depuis cinq ans et il n'arrive pas à tourner la page.
My brother can't get over the break-up with my best (lady ?) friend; they had been living together for five years and he can't get some closure.

Thank you here4u for this exercise which ends with the word " victory" !
