Challenges for a TV programme

You are to get as creative as you want in order to devise TWO challenges for a TV programme.

Think of a suitable prize for each challenge!!

Videos we watched in class

Here's a short list of the videos we watched in class last Wednesday.

For those of you who missed class, you could view them at home. For those of you who would like to watch them again, I give you my whole-hearted approval -

Happy viewing !

Ski resort

You gave me such lovely destinations for my last vacation that I was tempted to ask for more.

For this vacation I'd like to go skiing. Unfortunately I've never done it before and have no clue how to go about it, where to go, what to do ... and I'm looking forward to your help.

A ski resort in Switzerland

So I'd like you to give me exact details of a ski station around Grenoble that I can visit. I'd like to spend about 3 days there and I don't really have a budget in mind, though I'd rather it not be very expensive.... So, what do you have in store for me ? 

Do send me a proposition once again with details on how to get there, costs to be incurred, what kind of skiing it is, what I should expect and yes .... if you have some tips for me ;)

Looking forward to hearing from you... have happy hols !!

Update your profile

So now that you know how, you can update your blog profile. 

Use the diagram on page 41 for ideas ...

Happy news :)

I couldn't help but notice that most articles chosen were about things one had to change or something you disagreed with... a little French huh  ;) !!!???? So while we are still on the news bit, why don't you look up a news article that bring HAPPY NEWS ... we all want to feel happy, don't we? So no revolution, no revolt, no "grève" .... only something that would make us happy while reading it. It could even be something eccentric you found....

You'll paraphrase the news item once again. Do not bother to copy-paste the entire article. Just provide the link to the article you have read. Once you've paraphrased it, tell us what you think about it. Make sure you divide the paraphrase and the opinion sections well ...

HAPPY READING! :)

Paraphrasing a newspaper article

I would like you to select any one article from the list of online newspapers I have subscribed to on my blog. This article may be chosen from the following sections: politics, economics, sciences, world news etc... In short, boys, please avoid choosing to write about news from the sports section !!
You may then paraphrase the article (in your own words).
You could choose to give your opinion in the very last paragraph.
Do not forget to give your article an apt title. 

The future of English

This is a very interesting article I found online. It's not as recent as I had said it was, but thats because I had made a mistake :-(
