Hello everyone,

Today, we worked on the second part of Aron's video in four steps:

- Explain: "It is the worst pain I will ever experience in my life".

- What did he never do?

- "All I could think about..." : find the end.

- Is it a pessimistic or an optimistic narrative?

Wednesday, October 12^th

(the twelfth)

Aron’s story: video: part 2

 

Aron thought: “It is the worst pain I will ever experience in my life”. => Il pense que c’est la pire douleur de toute sa vie.

 

While he was cutting his arm, he never said « Aw », he never cried and he never shed a tear.

 

While he was cutting his arm, all he could think about was his family.

 

This narrative is rather/quite optimistic because he survived thanks to the thought of his family and to his knife.

 

VOCABULARY:

Rather/quite: assez, plutôt

While: pendant que

Shed a tear : verser une larme

The thought (nom) : la pensée

A knife : un couteau
