Hello everyone,

CINDERELLA

 

Cinderella was created by Charles Perrault. It is a fairy tale.

Today, it is a Disney movie.

 

She lives in a manor with her mean/nasty/bad/evil/terrible

/horrible/cruel step-mother and her two awful half-sisters.

 

She is wearing a simple/plain dress, an apron and a headscarf.

She is cleaning / scrubbing the floor.

She is kneeling / She is on her knees. ("kn": le "k" ne se prononce pas)

 

 

 A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dreams that I wish will come true 

Match these words with their synonyms : 

•        heartaches = sadness •        have faith = believe •        grieving = suffering •        keep on = continue •        will come true = will be realized

WILL + BASE VERBALE ( ou BV = verbe non conjugué)

·        In dreams you will lose your heartaches

·        Your rainbow will come smiling through

·        The dreams that I wish will come true

Qu’exprime Cendrillon en utilisant “will” ? 

Si on croit en ses rêves :

- Nos peines de cœur disparaitront

- Nous serons joyeux.

- Nos rêves  se réaliseront  dans le futur.
