Review on goals

First I have to say that we can't have reach any of the goals for the moment or at any time, there's always place to amelioration. But the process for every goal are going very well. For the first one I watch a lot of series in their original forms and understand them in a good way. It wasn't too difficult, it was pleasant and I can say that it's been a while that I watch tv series in english and every year I gain more abilities on understanding. For the second I watch a lot of movies in their original form too, I saw a lot of them in cinema and there's no subtitles availables in thoses conditions. But at home I mostly used subtitles so there's a lot of work to do here, but my process is going very well, and I like to watch movies in their original form, so i'm gaining pleasure every times my knowledge are growing. For the third one, it's going well too, I read a lot on the internet for informations on arts, movies and things. But i'm still searching some words. So in conclusion, the process for my goals are going very well because theses are things that completely match with my everyday life, but as I said before, there still always place to amelioration and improvement.

My oral was kinda good, wasn't he?

I really like the form that my oral takes. We worked hard (me and my partner) on the concept, on the way we want it to be, the tone and the content of it too. It's no coincidence that we choose a topic that touch our heart. In fact, thoses trip we talk about during our respectives part of our oral, really touch our heart and soul and memories too. Using a sketch as a form for the oral was certainly part of the success, we were really into it and that gives us motivation and rythm. So my rythm, the way we were alive and the precision and content of my informations were for sure big part of my success. Of course, there's a lot of things that i wanted to say and that I wasn't having enough time to say it, but basically, it was pretty nice. What was more problematic was my grammar, my syntax, my pronunciation, as well. I've search a lot fo words and things that i wanted to say, but it wasn't enough, we should have worked longer on this point for a higher note, but well, it wasn't that bad and overall, it was mostly sucess than flop.

Some kind of orals

Odile Gamache

She choose the topic about travelling. Help with the projector with some good photos of her trip, put on her blog, she was having a nice add-on to her oral.

First, she states that our way of living was too fast. That we weren't able to appreciate things and that her trip made her considering thoses things. While everything was so calm, no slow, so nice.

Second, she said that we were becoming more individualist. That we want to do everything by ourselves, not been help by anyone else.

Third, she choose a more humorous statement, saying that we have to look were we walk. Talking about when she want to take a shower and there were some unpleasant insects in it or when whe try to take a pictures of a crocodile, really near, without realizing that her life was actually in danger.

Léa Philippe

She choose the topic about a hero, an idol. Starting by enumerating some classic songs of the Beatles to go with her subject: John Lennon.

First, she states his positive traits. Saying that he use his dislexia to write songs and poems. That he was having a sensitive and reflexive perspective of life that he share with the world.

Second, she states his negative traits. Saying that he was abandonned by his parents, he was having no friends, was a trouble child that would take drugs and fight with others. He also take LSD, he wasn't the teddy boy he wanted to be, he was a rocker!

Finally, she states that beyonf everything, we had to remembering him for the way he influenced the music in such and admirable way.

Activia

Hello! Here I will summarize the oral of one of my classmates. I decide to take Catherine Yale's one about the Activia's commercial Having for thesis that this commercial is bad in every aspects.

For first arguments she's talking about the unscientific aspect of the commercial. They have graphics and analysis that look really fakes and are not proven by anything and they actually talk about a 14 days program, but what this program do actually? What effects it supposed to do on us? Never, in any case, it's explained. And in that way, this program is only use for one reason: BUY MORE!

There's also a bad representation of reality, because everyone in this commercial is beautiful. Nobody is ugly, everything is thin, nobody's fat. Like if it's really everybody who can take this yogourt or in the contrary that everybody who takes the yogourt will become like the model in the commercial.

Another aspect is that the commercial is REALLY sexist, showing only woman taking it and if a man want to use this yogourt, it shown like if it wasn't normal, actually the woman is mad because someone (a man) have take her yogourt!

So with unscientific aspect, bad representation of reality, by being sexist and by providing an abuse of belly dancers stomach (wich is really unecessary), Catherine really convinced me that this commercial is more than bad!
