APPRENEZ L’ANGLAIS RAPIDEMENT... Rien de plus simple! NIVEAU / LEVEL III SEMAINE / WEEK 45 Par Bob McDuff FORWARD AND INSTRUCTIONS FORWARD HI! MY NAME IS BOB MCDUFF, THE ENGLISH PROFESSOR. WELCOME TO WEEK 45 OF THE BM METHOD. This week, it would be very helpful for your progression to have a long conversation with someone in English. I suggest you invite someone to a coffee shop for a cup of coffee or to have a meal in a restaurant. Be very clear with this person, in advance, that you are both to speak in English only during your outing. Have fun, and if you have a chance, write me a note to tell me about your experience. My email address is: [email protected]. INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1 : PDF Text Read the PDF text attentively, making sure you understand the meaning of each question and each answer. You may use the translation for this step. STEP 2 : MP3 Audio Listen carefully to the example that corresponds to the exercise in the «audio» section. Then listen to the first question and give your answer immediately out loud. Really! It is very important to answer out loud! You must hear yourself answer because you must then compare your answer with the one on the audio. Proceed this way for all the questions and all the exercises. P.S.: If necessary, you may print the PDF text and follow it for this step. STEP 3 : Easy instructions in 3 steps Video Do the second step again, but in the «video» section. DO NOT USE THE PDF TEXT FOR THIS STEP. You can and should repeat this step many times, and this, as long as the exercises are not perfectly assimilated. You must be able to give your answer within the alloted time that is given to you. Then, and only then, you can go on to the next lesson. P.S.: Don’t forget! Always answer out loud! 1 La méthode bm - www.bobmcduff.com OBJECTIVES WEEK 45 THROUGHOUT THIS FORTY-FIFTH LESSON... • You will learn to use the present conditional tense with the verb « to be »; • You will learn to use the present conditional tense with the verb « to like / love ».
