Message de here4u posté le 29-06-2018 à 22:09:26 (S | E | F)
Hello!
Privée de connexion Internet pour le moment ...
Voici votre numéro suivant ... je l'ai un peu raccourci (ce sont les vacances ...) et il est un peu plus ludique ...
Cet exercice est un et sa correction sera en ligne le dimanche 15 juillet, tard ...

I) Please, help my student! He really needs you!
Pas d’avalanche de fautes, cette fois encore … Il n’y en a QUE 13. Mais il vous faudra les détecter et les corriger. (Attention ! Vous pourriez être tentés de trouver plus de fautes que les 13 annoncées, mais ce serait vouloir pénaliser les « régionalismes » et expressions familières. Ne le faites pas ! Ne « sanctionnez » que "la grammaire/ syntaxe/ vocabulaire » fautifs."

When the World Cup is in your life and on your body, as far as the tops of your fingers.
You can have water transfers or even stickers decorating your snails… But you may also prefer « the real thing » and make them painted…
"I love to make nails beautiful," says manicurist Natalia, as she applies the finishing touches to a World Cup soker ball design on her friends nails in her home in Samara.
Natalia certainly does brightens up any hand with her football-themed snails painting. Living close of the Samara Arena, which is hosting six World Cup matchs during Russia 2018, Natalia is using the tournament as inspiration. She works mainly as a babysitter but in her spear time she likes to painting beautiful and varied designs into her friends'snails. For the World Cup, Natalia is basing her designs around soker balls, goal netting and of course national teams flags.
« The design of the symbol and logo for this tournament are full of colour and glitter and you can show all the beauty of it on one single snail. »

II) Our beloved abacus is back!= holiday-time ! Youll have to find 10 words-
VOCABULARY: Slide the abacus beads (letters) along the wires (lines) to form 10 related words (belonging to the same theme) reading down. (The beads are on wires, and CANNOT jump over one another!)
Work well! You'll soon realize that this is no game! The theme is :THE WORLD CUP

III) ANOTHER TORTURE? (de Maxwell …) Une seule recherche, cette fois (ce sont les vacances !) Maxwell

A partir de l'expression française suivante : « se libérer », trouver au moins 3 traductions anglaises (différentes) possibles que vous utiliserez chacune dans une phrase qui explicitera le contexte dans lequel on peut l'utiliser, l'éventuel registre de langue associé,
et les nuances de sens. Ces 3 expressions anglaises ne devront (si possible) pas être interchangeables, et chacune devrait apporter quelque chose de différent.

Let me remind you again that "you don't have to do the whole thing!" Yet, any effort will be greatly appreciated!
Good luck to all the hard-workers and Lovers of English... THE FORCE is with YOU

Bonjour Here4u !
Sur ton abacus, il semblerait qu'il y ait une erreur sur la troisième ligne !
Ne faudrait-il pas un O à la place de l'avant dernière lettre A ? ...
Tu sais que j'adore faire glisser les lettres sur des fils, comme des perles, et que je suis devenue experte dans ton jeu !
Peux-tu corriger s'il te plaît, si bien sûr j'ai raison... Merci d'avance !
Bonne journée !

Wandering as a cloud moving,
On the top of the hills,
Daydreaming and dancing,
With the daffodils.

I thank you a lot for the nice exercise and I wish you a great week,free from the troubles of electronic devices.

So long.

FINISHED
Hello Here4U
Great exercise! I finally managed to do the abacus, starting from the right side: the level of difficulty was perfect

I) Please, help my student!
When the World Cup is in your life and on your body, as far as the TIP of your fingers.
You can have water transfers or even stickers decorating your NAILS... But you may also prefer « the real thing » and HAVE them painted...
"I love to make nails beautiful," says manicurist Natalia, as she applies the finishing touches to a World Cup SOCCER ball design on her friends['] nails in her home in Samara.
Natalia certainly does BRIGHTEN up any hand with her football-themed NAIL painting. Living close TO the Samara Arena, which is hosting six World Cup MATCHES during Russia 2018, Natalia is using the tournament as inspiration. She works mainly as a babysitter but in her SPARE time, she likes to PAINT beautiful and varied designs ON her friends' NAILS. For the World Cup, Natalia HAS BASED her designs around SOCCER balls, goal netting and of course national TEAM flags.
« The design of the symbol and THE logo for this tournament are full of colour and glitter and you can show all the beauty of it on one single NAIL. »

Hello, Dearest Friends!

Voici votre corrigé. Toutes mes FELICITATIONS et tous mes REMERCIEMENTS à vous tous pour votre très bon travail.

Comme d'habitude, pour terminer ce cycle, j'ai besoin de VOLONTAIRES pour donner la traduction du texte corrigé (Deux volontaires qui se partageraient le travail serait l'idéal ...) d'avance !

I) Please, help my student! He really needs you!
Pas d’avalanche de fautes, cette fois encore … Il n’y en a QUE 13. Mais il vous faudra les détecter et les corriger. (Attention ! Vous pourriez être tentés de trouver plus de fautes que les 13 annoncées, mais ce serait vouloir pénaliser les « régionalismes » et expressions familières. Ne le faites pas ! Ne « sanctionnez » que "la grammaire/ syntaxe/ vocabulaire » fautifs." )

When the World Cup is in your life and on your body, as far as the tips (1) of your fingers.
You can have water transfers or even stickers decorating your nails… But you may also prefer « the real thing » and have(2) them painted…
"I love to make nails beautiful," says manicurist Natalia, as she applies the finishing touches to a World Cup soccer (3) ball design on her friend's nails (4) in her home in Samara.
Natalia certainly does brighten up (6) any hand with her football-themed nail painting (5). Living close to (7) the Samara Arena, which is hosting six World Cup matches during Russia 2018, Natalia is using the tournament as inspiration. She works mainly as a babysitter but in her spare time (3) she likes to paint beautiful and varied designs onto (8) her friends' nails (4). For the World Cup, Natalia is basing her designs around soccer balls, goal netting and of course national team flags(5).
« The design of the symbol and logo for this tournament are full of colours and glitter and you can show all the beauty of it on one single nail. »

(1) « the top of your fingers »= piège grossier dont beaucoup ne se sont pas méfiés … = en fait : the tip of your fingers.
(2) « make them paint~~[ed »~~ impliquerait une contrainte qui n’existait pas => « have them painted ».
(3) Attention à l’orthographe ! : Soccer/ spare time= temps libre./ Ne pas confondre : nails= les ongles/ un clou
(4) Her friends’nails= les ongles de ses amies. //// her friend’s nails= les ongles de son amie///
(5) national team flags= l'adjectif « national » et le nom « team » sont en position d’adjectifs. Ils restent invariables. Idem pour « football-themed nail painting »
(6) « Natalia certainly does brightens up » : l’auxiliaire « does » porte la marque de la 3è perrsonne, le verbe qui le suis doit donc être une simple base verbale = brighten »
(7) Close TO somewhere => far from somewhere else.
(8) On + mouvement = « onto » de même que « in + mouvement » = « into ».

II) Our beloved abacus is back != holiday-time ! You’ll have to find 10 words-

1 :------------S-----------------------------S------T------I----------H-----------------|
2 :--------------------S-------------G------U------E------N----------------D------------|
3 :------------C------T----------------------P-----A------J---------O-------R-----------|
4 :--------------------A------S-----O------P------M-----U--------O----------------------|
5 :------F-----O-------------O-------------O-------------R---------L------A-------------|
6 :-------------R------D-----C--------------R-------------I----------I------------------|
7 :------A-----E-------------C--------------T------S----------------G-----W-------------|
8 :-------------R------I-------E-----A------E--------------E--------A-------------------|
9 :-----N-------------U------R------L------R-----------------------N--------------------|
10 :----S-------------M-------------S------S--------------S--------S--------------------|

DOWN :
fans : fans, admirateurs
scorer : buteur
stadium : stade
Soccer : football
goals : buts
supporters : supporteur
teams : équipes
injuries : blessures
Hooligan : hooligan, petit voyou, casseur
To draw = faire match nul/ a draw = match nul (égalité)

III)ANOTHER TORTURE? (de Maxwell …) Une seule recherche, cette fois (ce sont les vacances !) Maxwell et
Le corrigé est à nouveau le travail de Maxwell ! On y sent une délectation qui fait plaisir ! C'est une excellente recherche !

A partir du mot français suivant : « se libérer », trouver au moins 3 traductions anglaises (différentes possibles que vous utiliserez chacune dans une phrase qui explicitera le contexte dans lequel on peut l'utiliser, l'éventuel registre de langue associé,
et les nuances de sens.) Ces 3 expressions anglaises ne devront (si possible) pas être interchangeables, et chacune devrait apporter quelque chose de différent.
Another torture : se libérer
1) SE LIBERER : (en parlant de qqn et de son emploi du temps) rendre son temps libre, se rendre libre : make time, cancel, be free, make oneself available for, (informal) get away
se libérer une soirée = to take a night off
=>"Tomorrow afternoon ? I'll try and MAKE TIME for you: let's see... I have an appointment scheduled at 2:00 pm but I'll CANCEL."

2) SE LIBERER : (en parlant de qqch) devenir vacant, disponible pour une chose : open up, be freed up, become available, become/fall vacant, to have vacancies
=>"An opportunity has OPENED up, madam: a room has just BECOME VACANT." "I knew a VACANCY would ARISE, as I personally know the previous occupant who told me his room would BECOME AVAILABLE this morning."

3) SE LIBERER (de qq'un/qqch) : (peut s'appliquer à une personne : oneself, ou à une chose/animal/institution : itself.) Se dégager de ce à quoi on est assujetti, de ce qui nous domine : s'émanciper, s'affranchir, se dégager, s'évader, s'échapper, se soustraire, se dérober, se décharger, se dégager, se délivrer : free oneself from ; get free, release oneself (from), be released from, get away from, escape (from) ; break free of/from, be set free from, emancipate oneself from sth, break loose (from), cut (sb/sth/oneself) loose from, liberate oneself from, disassociate oneself from, cast sth off, get rid of sth
=>"When do you feel you LIBERATE YOURSELF most?" "On Friday evening: I CAST OFF the burden of work, I CUT MYSELF LOOSE from the expectations of others, I GET AWAY FROM the online world, and I FREE MYSELF FROM a bothersome daily life: I GET RID OF my inhibitions, dancing".

- se libérer les bras/mains/jambes/pieds etc... : to free one's arms/hands/legs/feet
=>He wasn't tied too tight, so he could FREE his hands and his feet, and HE ran away.

- s'acquitter d'une dette, une obligation, payer : be discharged, pay

- Diffuser, se propager : release
=> "The medicine will RELEASE slowly in your body and within 24 hours, you'll feel fine."

Encore BRAVO et merci à tous !

hello everyone,

My proposal of translation for this text,

When the World Cup is in your life and on your body, as far as the tips (1) of your fingers.
You can have water transfers or even stickers decorating your nails… But you may also prefer « the real thing » and have(2) them painted…

« The design of the symbol and logo for this tournament are full of colours and glitter and you can show all the beauty of it on one single nail. »

Lorsque la Coupe du Monde est dans votre vie et sur votre corps, jusqu'au bout des ongles.
Vous pouvez avoir des autocollants à l'eau ou même des décalcomanies pour décorer vos ongles... Mais vous pouvez aussi préférer " le vrai " et les faire peindre....
"J'adore faire de beaux ongles ", dit Natalia, manucure, alors qu'elle applique la touche finale d'un ballon de la Coupe du monde de football (3) sur les ongles de son amie (4) dans sa maison à Samara.
Natalia assurément fait briller n'importe quelle main avec ses vernis à ongles sur le thème du football. Vivant à proximité du stade de Samara, qui accueille six matches de la Coupe du monde pendant Russie 2018, Natalia s'inspire du tournoi. Elle travaille principalement comme baby-sitter mais pendant son temps libre, elle aime peindre des motifs beaux et variés sur les ongles de ses amis (4). Pour la Coupe du Monde, Natalia base ses créations autour des ballons de football, des filets de but et bien sûr des drapeaux des équipes nationales(5).
« Le design du symbole et le logo de ce tournoi sont pleins de couleurs et de paillettes et vous pouvez en montrer toute la beauté sur un seul ongle. »
