Hello dear workers and correctors, Dearest Friends!

Je sais que certains n'ont "que les week-ends et jours fériés" pour pouvoir se consacrer longuement à un de leurs loisirs favoris : Travailler avec nous ! J'anticipe donc un peu cette publication pour que vous puissiez y consacrer ce temps précieux pour vous (et pour nous tous )
Le texte à corriger est un peu long, mais mon élève a fait un GROS EFFORT et il n'y a pas trop de fautes (ce qui ne rend pas l'exercice plus facile ... ) Il y a beaucoup de mots à remettre dans l'ordre, aussi. Certains sont de vrais cadeaux ... d'autres, un peu plus "tricky"... Je vous fais confiance!
Cet exercice est un et la correction sera en ligne le Mardi 27 novembre tard.
I) Please, help my student! He really needs you!
Comme la plupart des RYBs précédents, ce texte s'inspire (mais ne copie pas ... ) de plusieurs textes de la presse écrite ou orale. Il a été, comme toujours raccourci, remanié, interprété, simplifié, allégé ... pour vous le rendre plus digeste et agréable.
Il n'y a aucun intérêt à rechercher le ou les extraits originels et originaux. Le seul intérêt est de le saisir "à bras le texte", et de vous "battre" avec ...
C'est en faisant ceci que vous pouvez travailler vraiment, et donc, je l'espère, progresser. Quant à ce pauvre élève, il a encore fait 12 fautes, mais comme il est "consistent", il en répète toujours un certain nombre ...
Go for it!
ATTENTION ! Ce texte contient des fautes (qu'il convient de corriger ...)
In the days leading up to 11 November, you will see people wearing a puppy. This is a symbol to remember those who have given their life in war. Millions of puppies will be given out over the coming days by tens of thousand of volunteers.
The reason puppies are used to remember those who have died is because they are the flowers which grew on the battlefields after the World War One ended. Ever since then, they’re coming to be a symbol of remembering not just those who gave their life in the World War One, but all those who have died on behalf of their country.
Every year, volunteers make puppies available throughout the country and people make a donation in order to get one. The money raised is used to help servicemen and women who are still living, whose life has been changed by the wars that they fought. It might help them get jobs and somewhere to live, and will also help older war veterans with any support they may need. The donations may also be used to help those who have lost loved ones because of wars.
Wearing puppies like this to raise money to help people who had fought in wars started in 1921. This was the year when the Royal British Legion was founded in 15 May. Back then the puppies weren't made of paper as they are today. They were made of silk.
In 1922, a factory was set up where disabbled old soldiers were employed to make the puppies.This factory is still running - and producing many millions of puppies each year - to this very day.
While the majority of the people wear their puppy on their chest, there is no right or wrong way to wear a puppy. As the Royal British Legion says: "We only ask you to wear it with proudness."

I've just found the last 2 difficult scrambled words (kindness, and then togetherness thanks to the same suffix). I'm glad I did .
I hope I did well
Thanks a lot

I Help my student:
In the days leading up to NOVEMBER 11, you will see people wearing a POPPY. This is a symbol to remember those who have given their LIVES in war. Millions of POPPIES will be given out over the coming days by tens of THOUSANDS of volunteers.
The reason (*) POPPIES are used to remember those who have died is THAT they are the flowers which grew on the battlefields after the World War One ended. Ever since then, they'VE COME to be a symbol of remembering not just those who gave their LIVES in [] World War One, but all those who have died on behalf of their country (**).
Every year, volunteers make POPPIES available throughout the country and people make a donation in order to get one. The money raised is used to help servicemen and women who are still living, whose LIVES HAVE been changed by the wars that they fought. It might help them get jobs and SOMEHOW [] live, and MIGHT also help older war veterans with any support they may need. The donations may also be used to help those who have lost loved ones because of wars.
Wearing POPPIES like THESE to raise money to help people who had fought in wars started in 1921. This was the year when the Royal British Legion was founded in MAY 15. Back then the POPPIES weren't made of paper as they are today. They were made of silk.

While the majority of the people wear their POPPIES on their CHESTS, there is no right or wrong way to wear a POPPY. As the Royal British Legion says: "We only ask you to wear it with PROUD."
(*) J'ai failli ajouter WHY mais je crois que c'est inutile bien que très fréquent
(**) Je n'ai pas mis au pluriel country car ils se sont tous battus pour la même patrie

II Find the scrambled words:
1. At 11am on Sunday, November 11 2018, BRITAIN will come to a STANDSTILL as CITIES, TOWNS and VILLAGES stop to COMMEMORATE the 100th ANNIVERSARY of the end of WW1.

2. POPPY painted KINDNESS rocks are being SPARED around as EXCITEMENT grows for a CELEBRATION marking 100 YEARS since the end of WW1

3. "This WHOLE EVENT has brought a real TOGETHERNESS to the VILLAGE and it's great to see so many PEOPLE making an effort."

III) Another torture:
I) extrait d'une oeuvre: fragment, morceau, portion, partie, citation, page : PART, SECTION, SCENE (film), PASSAGE (book), EXTRACT, EXCERPT, PIECE, PARAGRAPH, QUOTATION, SENTENCE, SELECTION
=> "The SCENE in the film where all the main characters are described is not as detailed as the corresponding PASSAGE in the book. But I loved the PART where the detective disproved the culprit's reasoning."

II) changement d'état/milieu, transition, évolution, transfert, transformation, entrée : TRANSITION, PASSAGE, SWITCHOVER, CHANGEOVER, PASSING, CHANGE, CHANGE OF STATE, MOVE, MOVING, SHIFT, SEGUE
=> "How could you explain his ACTING OUT? What a coincidence! It happened just after the PASSAGE from daytime to nighttime and just before the SWITCH to summer time!" "Think again! His TRANSITION to adulthood is growing troubled."

III) Entrée/admission dans une classe supérieure : MOVING UP, ADMISSION, ACCEPTANCE, ENTRANCE
=> "Your MOVING UP to high school is not jeopardised by this low school grade. But you ADMISSION will mainly depend on your success in the ENTRANCE exam.

IV) présence/venue ponctuelle/éphémère/provisoire à un endroit précis : séjour, arrivée, visite, escale, étape, phase, saut (fam.) : PASS THROUGH, VISIT, BRIEF CALL, STOPPING-OFF; TRANSIENT
=> "You can't go to France without making at least a brief CALL at Paris. It's almost like a PREREQUISITE, a must." "Don't worry, I'll be PASSING THROUGH Paris during my holidays. When I GET to your gift shop, I'll buy an Eiffel Tower keyring like the PASSING trade, and pay a lightning VISIT in the capital."

IV)a) Dans le domaine du spectacle, des médias : apparition dans un lieu : APPEARANCE
=> "This humorist's last APPEARENCE on TV during a talk-show was a killer performance!"

V) espace/lieu/voie de communication réservé/dédié/aménagé à la circulation/transit : allée, galerie, chemin, couloir, corridor, accès, pas, col, passerelle, sentier, rue(lle), voie, issue, ouverture, chenal, gorge : PASSAGE, PASS, SUBWAY, BREEZEWAY, CROSSING, CROSSOVER, PASSAGEWAY, PATHWAY , CORRIDOR, LANE, ALLEY, HALL(WAY), LOBBY, DOORWAY, AISLE, CHANNEL, THROAT, ADIT, GANGWAY, GATEWAY, ENTRANCE, EXIT.
=> In order for you to get to the station, walk down this PASSAGEWAY, turn left, head for the BREEZEWAY then use the pedestrian SUBWAY and carry on straight: you'll see the level CROSSING on your left, a FORD down the river on your right, and the GATEWAY to the station ahead. Of course, always use the zebra CROSSING when you cross.

VI) parcours, trajet, itinéraire, route, chemin, voie, sillage. WAY, COURSE, ROAD, ROUTE, PATH, THOROUGHFARE

Bonjour,

I)Help the student
In the days leading up to the 11th of November, you will see people wearing a poppy (puppy = young dog). This is a symbol to remember those who have given their lives in war. Millions of poppies will be given out over the coming days by tens of thousands of volunteers.
The reason poppies are used to remember those who have died is that they are the flowers which grew on the battlefields after the World War One ended. Ever since then, they have come (present perfect : it became and still is) to be a symbol for remembering not just those who gave their life in the World War One, but all those who have died for on behalf of their country.
Every year, volunteers make poppies available throughout the country and people make a donation in order to get one. The money raised is used to help servicemen and women who are still alive living, whose lives were changed by the wars that they fought. It might help them get jobs and somewhere to live, and will also help older war veterans with any support they may need. The donations may also be used to help those who have lost loved ones because of wars.
Wearing poppies like this to raise money to help people who had fought in wars started in 1921. This was the year when the Royal British Legion was founded the 15th of May. Back then the poppies weren't made of paper as they are today. They were made of silk.
In 1922, a factory was set up where disabled old soldiers were employed to make the poppies. This factory is still running - and producing many millions of poppies each year - to this very day.
While the majority of the people wear their poppy on their chest, there is no right or wrong way to wear a poppy. As the Royal British Legion says: "We only ask you to wear it with proudness pride."

Hello Here, Maxwell ! Hello everybody

Here is my wok

In the days leading up November 11 TH, you will see people wearing a puppy. This is a symbol to remember those who have given their LIVES in war. DOZENS of puppies will be given out over the coming days by DOZENS of THOUSANDS of volunteers.The reason puppies are used to remember those who have died is because they are the flowers which GROW on the battlefields after the World War One ended. Ever since then, they’re coming to be a symbol of remembering not just those who gave their LIVES in the World War One, but all those who ARE died on behalf of their country.
Every year, volunteers PUT puppies available throughout IN the country and people make a donation in order to get one.
The money raised is used to help servicemen and women who are still living, whose life has been changed by the WAR that they fought OFF. It might help them get jobs and somewhere to live, and will also help older war veterans with any support they may need. The donations may also be used to help those who have lost loved ones because of WAR.
Wearing puppies like this, to raise money to help people who had fought in WAR  WHICH  started in 1921. This was the year,  when the Royal British Legion was founded in MAY 15TH. Back then,  the puppies weren't made of paper as they are today. They were made of silk.
In 1922, a factory HAD BEEN set up,  where DISABLED old soldiers HARD BEEN employed to make the puppies.This factory is still running - and producing many millions of puppies each year - to this very day.
While the majority of the people wear their puppy on their chest, there is no right or wrong way to wear a puppy. As the Royal British Legion says: "We only ask you to wear it with PRIDE."

I love this tradition that touched me a lot. I hope I have done honor to this exercise.

Hello, dear Friends,

Voici votre correction ! Quelques remarques ...

J'ai toujours besoin de VOLONTAIRES pour faire le "follow-up work" que vous réclamez toujours ... (Trois ou 4 pour le texte (5 ou 6 lignes chacun ...) et un ou deux volontaire(s) pour les phrases mélangées ... Merci d'avance ! Je demande, je demande ... et ô merveille, (et Félicitations à vous! ), vous répondez toujours !

I)Please, help my student! He really needs you!

POPPY or CORNFLOWER?

(1) Attention de ne pas confondre "a poppy"= a red flower and " a puppy"= a young dog.
(2) "... given their lives..." = pluriel concret (que vous n'aimez pas du tout ... )Chacun n'a qu'UNE vie, mais en tout, ça en fait beaucoup (hélas ! )
(3) ATTENTION ! = 3è essai ... non transformé pour certains : on dit et écrit "the first World War ", mais "World War One"= WW1.
(4) "They have come to be a symbol" : ici, un present perfect de bilan s'imposait.
(5) to be alive// to be dead // but : they're living a difficult experience...
(6) A nouveau le présent concret => pluriel. "... lives have been changed" et encore une fois un present perfect de bilan.
(7) to fight IN a war: => "the wars they fought in."
(8) Devant une date = ON=> on 15th May. (Il faut utiliser IN devant une année seule, ou devant un mois seul (IN 2010 / IN June)
(9) Lien internet
(Here, the article is referring to "a surprising use of the original material.") ("Made of" n'est bien sûr, pas faux, mais c'était un usage que j'avais envie de vous faire remarquer - ou connaître) - !
(10) Faites bien la différence entre "former" et "old" (you can be a former soldier and be young if you have changed activities. You can be a soldier and even a former soldier and be old... Yet, making a disabled "old" soldier "work in a factory" would really be hard on him...
(11) "... the majority of the people... " = il ne s'agit pas des gens en général, mais des gens dont il a été question dans tout le texte.
(12) "Proud" is the adjective; the abstract noun is "pride".

Ce poème de John McCrae, en forme de rondeau, rend hommage aux individus, tant civils que militaires, qui sont morts lors de la Première Guerre mondiale.

Texte original
In Flanders fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Traduction littérale
Dans les champs de Flandre, les coquelicots fleurissent
Entre les croix qui, une rangée après l'autre,
Marquent notre place ; et dans le ciel,
Les alouettes, chantant valeureusement encore, sillonnent,
À peine audibles parmi les canons qui tonnent.

Nous, les morts, il y a quelques jours encore,
Nous vivions, goûtions l'aurore, contemplions les couchers de soleil,
Nous aimions et étions aimés ; aujourd'hui, nous voici gisant
Dans les champs de Flandre.

Reprenez notre combat contre l'ennemi :
À vous, de nos mains tremblantes, nous tendons
le flambeau ; faites-le vôtre et portez-le bien haut.
Si vous nous laissez tomber, nous qui mourons,
Nous ne trouverons pas le repos, bien que les coquelicots fleurissent
Dans les champs de Flandre.


II) Find the 18 «scrambled words»…

1. At 11am on Sunday, November 11 2018, BRITAIN will come to a STANDSTILL as CITIES, TOWNS and VILLAGES stop to COMMEMORATE the 100th ANNIVERSARY of the end of WW1. (7)

2.POPPY painted KINDNESS rocks are being SPREAD around as EXCITEMENT grows for a CELEBRATION marking 100 YEARS since the end of WW1 (6)

3. "This WHOLE EVENT has brought a real TOGETHERNESS to the VILLAGE and it's great to see so many PEOPLE making an effort."(5)

III) ANOTHER TORTURE… Comme je vous l'ai annoncé sur le RYB 34, Maxime a décidé de faire une pause dans la "TORTURE"... Je suis d'autant plus d'accord avec lui que je trouve qu'un certain nombre d'entre vous (par excès d'application) étiez en train de "dériver" par rapport aux "consignes" et au but initial de l'exercice.
De plus en plus, je trouvais des listes entières de dictionnaires, très impersonnelles (normal !) alors que je vous rappelle que la demande d'origine était : "Trouver TROIS expressions qui expriment trois nuances différentes (et si possible non-interchangeables) de l'expression donnée au début ET, et c'était fondamental : les employer dans TROIS phrases de votre création.
Nous avons besoin de "peu", mais de qualité personnelle, assimilé et réemployable, plutôt que d'être étouffés d'une masse de mots ou expressions que vous ne pourrez pas vous approprier et qui seront donc inutiles ... OK??? No hard feelings for the break, I hope !

Autrement dit, nous ne voulions pas de "thèse" de 1000 pages sur un mot ou une expression, mais de trois sens différents, astucieusement choisis, et réemployés ... LECTURE, CHOIX, ORGANISATION et EXPRESSION PERSONNELLE. : c'était déjà un gros travail ...
Par "perfectionnisme" et désir de donner un travail complet, Maxwell était en train de s'épuiser (et donc, quelque part de se lasser...) à faire cet énorme travail sur les mots qu'il avait choisis ...

C'est pourquoi je pense qu'un intermède avec des exercices plus courts conviendra mieux à la période et nous verrons comment redémarrer plus fort en janvier ... Un mois de répit modéré pour préparer vos cadeaux, et vous amuser, tout en faisant des exercices plus légers ...
Correction très complète de son exercice (vérifiée) faite par Maxwell. Un gros merci à lui.

I) Extrait d'une œuvre : fragment, morceau, portion, partie, citation, page : PART, SECTION, SCENE (film), PASSAGE (book), EXTRACT, EXCERPT, PIECE, PARAGRAPH, QUOTATION, SENTENCE, SELECTION
=> "The SCENE in the film where all the main characters are described is not as detailed as the corresponding PASSAGE in the book. But I loved the PART where the detective disproved the culprit's reasoning »
II) Changement d'état/ milieu, transition, évolution, transfert, transformation, entrée : TRANSITION, PASSAGE, SWITCHOVER, CHANGEOVER, PASSING, CHANGE, CHANGE OF STATE, MOVE, MOVING, SHIFT, SEGUE
=> "How could you explain his ACTING OUT? What a coincidence! It happened just after the PASSAGE from daytime to nighttime and just before the SWITCH to Summer Time!" "Think again! His TRANSITION to adulthood is growing troubled."
III) Entrée/ admission dans une classe supérieure : MOVING UP, ADMISSION, ACCEPTANCE, ENTRANCE
=> "Your MOVING UP to high school is not jeopardised by this low school grade. But your ADMISSION will mainly depend on your success in the ENTRANCE exam."
IV) Présence/ venue ponctuelle/ éphémère/ provisoire à un endroit précis : séjour, arrivée, visite, escale, étape, phase, saut (fam.) : PASS THROUGH, VISIT, BRIEF CALL, STOPPING-OFF; TRANSIENT
=> "You can't go to France without making at least a brief CALL to Paris. It's almost like a PREREQUISITE, a must." "Don't worry, I'll be PASSING THROUGH Paris during my holidays. When I GET to your gift shop, I'll buy an Eiffel Tower keyring like the PASSING trade, and pay a lightning VISIT in the capital.
IV) Dans le domaine du spectacle, des médias : apparition dans un lieu : APPEARANCE
=> "This humorist's last APPEARENCE on TV during a talk-show was a killer performance!"
V) Espace/ lieu/ voie de communication réservé/ dédié/ aménagé à la circulation/ transit : allée, galerie, chemin, couloir, corridor, accès, pas, col, passerelle, sentier, rue(lle), voie, issue, ouverture, chenal, gorge : PASSAGE, PASS, SUBWAY, BREEZEWAY, CROSSING, CROSSOVER, PASSAGEWAY, PATHWAY , CORRIDOR, LANE, ALLEY, HALL(WAY), LOBBY, DOORWAY, AISLE, CHANNEL, THROAT, ADIT, GANGWAY, GATEWAY, ENTRANCE, EXIT.
=> To get to the station, walk down this PASSAGEWAY, turn left, head for the BREEZEWAY then use the pedestrian SUBWAY and carry on straight: you'll see the level CROSSING on your left, a FORD down the river on your right, and the GATEWAY to the station ahead. Of course, always use the zebra CROSSINGs along the way.
VI) Parcours, trajet, itinéraire, route, chemin, voie, sillage. WAY, COURSE, ROAD, ROUTE, PATH, THOROUGHFARE
=> Streams swept away everything in their PATH. Upside down wrecks and tree trunks were blocking the WAY and I had to fight my WAY through to get to my house.
VII) - Au sens figuré : court moment : SPELL
- Au passage (à propos, au fait, dans le même temps, par la même occasion) : By the way, incidentally, in passing, in doing so, that reminds me, while I'm thinking of it, while you're at it
=> "I'm all right, I'm going through a dry SPELL, that's all. I think I'll go out to clear my mind. (IN) DOING SO, I'll go and get some bread." "IN PASSING, don't forget to buy a chocolate cake."
VIII) Fait de remettre, transmettre qqch à qqn (le ballon, le témoin) : HANDING OVER, HANDOVER, PASSING, BRINGING, DELIVERY, RELAY
=> "After ten years teaching HOW TO PASS ON the baton to children, I'm introducing you to your new instructor: it's a HANDOVER before a new life for me: I'll become a postman and will leave DELIVERY notices in your letter boxes"
IX) Fait de soumettre à un traitement particulier :
Ex : -passage à tabac : beating (up)/beatdown
-passage au crible : screening, scrutinising, scrutiny,
-passage à la flamme = passing the flame through sth, flaming
=> This new case of BEATING should not remain unresolved this time: SCRUTINISING the views has revealed the picture of the attacker.
X) Action, fait de passer quelque part en parlant des sujets au moment où ils se déplacent (Ex : passage du train/des oiseaux migrateurs): PASSING, PASSAGE, AS SB/STH GOES/PASSES BY/PAST, TRAVERSAL, FLOW, MOVEMENT, ADVANCE, PROGRESS, TRANSIT, PROGRESSION, MOVING, MOTION
=> After a five-minute PASSING time to get to their PE class, pupils started their first half marathon. And as they were GOING PAST the schoolteacher, their LAP time was taken .
XI) Franchissement d'une limite/obstacle, traversée. (ex: passage de la douane/du pont/du fleuve) : PASS/GO THROUGH ; PASSAGE, CROSSING.
=> We used to have to pay for the right of PASSAGE (also called "duties" for goods)when we got to the CROSSING point. There is no longer PASSING THROUGH the customs between those two countries
XII) Voyage/ traversée/ transport maritime ou fluvial, somme payée pour emprunter ce moyen de transport : billet de passage, payer son passage : PASSAGE (BY SHIP), VOYAGE, TRANSIT, JOURNEY, TOUR, TRIP, TRAVELLING, CROSSING
=> Immigrants who want to cross the Ocean on a saiboat have to save up enough money to pay for the PASSAGE

Merci, Maxwell pour ce travail très complet sur le III. Merci aussi à vous tous qui avez tant travaillé ... et toujours aussi bien !
BRAVO !

Dans les jours précédant le 11 novembre, vous verrez des gens porter un coquelicot. Ceci est un symbole pour se souvenir de ceux qui sont morts au combat. Des millions de coquelicots seront distribués au cours des prochains jours par des dizaines de milliers de bénévoles.
La raison pour laquelle les coquelicots sont utilisés pour se souvenir de ceux qui sont morts , c'est parce que ce sont les fleurs qui ont poussé sur les champs de bataille après la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale. Depuis lors, ils sont devenus un symbole de souvenir pas seulement de ceux qui ont donné leur vie pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, mais de tous ceux qui sont morts au nom de leur pays.
Chaque année, des bénévoles mettent des coquelicots à disposition dans tout le pays et les gens font un don pour en obtenir un.

THANKS a lot HERE4U for the correction and the poetry.
my participation in the translation of the text

L'argent recueilli sert à aider les militaires encore en vie, ou dont la vie a été changée par les guerres auxquelles ils ont participé. Il pourrait les aider à trouver un emploi et un logement, et il aidera aussi les anciens combattants plus âgés à obtenir tout le soutien dont ils peuvent avoir besoin. Les dons peuvent aussi servir à aider ceux qui ont perdu des êtres chers à cause des guerres.
Arborer des coquelicots comme celui-ci pour recueillir des fonds afin d'aider les gens qui ont combattu dans les guerres a commencé en 1921. Cette année-là, la Royal British Legion a été fondée le 15 mai . À l'époque, les coquelicots n'étaient pas faits de papier comme c'est le cas aujourd'hui. Ils étaient faits de soie.
En 1922, une usine de fabrication de coquelicots a été créée dans laquelle d'anciens soldats handicapés étaient employés pour fabriquer les coquelicots, et cette usine fonctionne encore aujourd'hui - et produit plusieurs millions de coquelicots chaque année.
Bien que la majorité des gens portent leur coquelicot sur la poitrine, il n'y a pas de bonne ou de mauvaise façon de porter un coquelicot. Comme le dit la Légion royale britannique : "Nous vous demandons seulement de le porter avec fierté."

To end, I would like to share with you these few words,
It came without ribbons,
it came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes, or bags.
Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store.
Maybe Christmas (he thought) means a little bit more.
