Les photocopieuses sont d’un usage très répandu et beaucoup y recourent de façon constante et machinale. Mais la production de livres ne se réalise pas aussi facilement qu’une simple photocopie. Elle demande bien plus d’énergie, de temps et d’argent. La rémunération des auteurs, et de toutes les personnes impliquées dans le processus de création et de distribution des livres, provient exclusivement de la vente de ces ouvrages. En Belgique, la loi sur le droit d’auteur protège l’activité de ces différentes personnes.

Lorsqu’il copie des livres, en entier ou en partie, en dehors des exceptions définies par la loi, l’usager prive ces différentes personnes d’une part de la rémunération qui leur est due.

C’est pourquoi les auteurs et les éditeurs demandent qu’aucun texte protégé ne soit copié sans une autorisation écrite préalable, en dehors des exceptions définies par la loi.

L’éditeur s’est efforcé d’identifier tous les détenteurs de droits. Si, malgré cela, quelqu’un estime entrer en ligne de compte en tant qu’ayant droit, il est invité à s’adresser à l’éditeur.

Hey, what’s up!

C’est comme cela que beaucoup d’anglophones se saluent aujourd’hui. What’s up signifie au départ « quoi de neuf ? », mais s’utilise maintenant pour dire « comment ça va ? » ou tout simplement « bonjour ».

What’s up, c’est aussi le nom que nous avons choisi de donner au manuel que tu tiens dans les mains et qui t’aidera à acquérir les bases de la langue anglaise. Voici un petit tour d’horizon de ce que tu y retrouveras.

6 Units

Les Units forment le cœur des apprentissages proposés dans What’s up. Elles sont structurées en plusieurs rubriques :

– La première page : elle résume les objectifs à atteindre en fin de Unit, ainsi que le vocabulaire et la grammaire abordés.

– Get into it : pour te permettre de te familiariser avec la thématique de la Unit et de découvrir les documents (textes, vidéos…) qui serviront de supports aux apprentissages.

– Work it out : pour t’entraîner, apprendre et progresser.

– Got it! : pour mettre en œuvre ce que tu as appris à travers une ou deux tâches finales.

– Vocabular y  : pour regrouper tous les nouveaux mots et expressions rencontrés dans la Unit.

Holiday reviews

PART 1

Avant de te lancer dans la réalisation de la tâche, liste en français, avec ton/ta partenaire, les éléments essentiels à prendre en compte pour l’organisation d’un voyage.

Elena, 16 years old

Last year, my class and I went on a school trip to the Alps. It was a package tour; everything was organised for us. We travelled by train. It was my first time at a ski resort! We rented a self-catering cabin called “Retraite au coin du feu”. It is an accommodation at the bottom of the slopes offering mountain views . We stayed there for ten days. It was cosy and well-decorated. The property offered everything we needed: bed linen, blankets, dishes, extra pillows, towels, a coffee machine… There was even a fireplace! The weather was dry and sunny, and the slopes were icy early in the morning… Ideal for skiing or snowboarding! If you like to explore, it is also possible to snowshoe in the surroundings or to try snowmobiling during your ski holiday. One day, while I was skiing, I spotted a mummy bear and her baby in the forest!

Timothy, 17 years old

My friends and I went camping in Slovakia last year and we chose a campsite called “Tentastic” . We stayed there for a fortnight, from 1st to 15th July. It is located near Bratislava. It has 200 pitches on a 10-hectare site, 25 chalets and offers a lot of facilities: a football pitch, a tennis court, bikes for rent, a supermarket, a restaurant, free maps for hiking (avalaible at the reception), a bar and, best of all, a newly built sanitation block with free hot showers (no need to wash in the cold dirty river!). We decided to pitch our tents along the river anyway. Good for fishing, not for sleeping… I remember one night, we were singing songs and roasting marshmallows around the campfire when I realised we were invaded by mosquitoes

Ethan, 19 years old

ÉditionsVANIN

After my secondary education, I spent a gap year travelling the world. I wanted to discover new cultures and learn different languages. I travelled to Australia for three months. I slept in a youth hostel called “The Arch”, and I met many exchange students. We shared the same dormitory, kitchen, and living room. We got to know each other and quickly got on well. The youth hostel was quite well equipped; TV corner, board games, terrace with table, chairs, and barbecue (including kitchen utensils). We spent most of our evenings together playing snooker, cards or table football in the games room . It was so weird to be below the Equator because the seasons are reversed. In December, I called my parents. We were talking to each other on the phone; I was eating ice cream and drinking cocktails on the beach to celebrate Christmas while my parents were freezing in England . For the active, there are pebble beaches where you can fly your kite near the hostel, and snorkelling and surfing lessons for beginners. If you like waking up early, there are also guided tours to watch the sunrise. It was also possible to meet kangaroos in nature parks, but I didn’t see any of them while I was visiting Australia!

Steph, 19 years old

Are you looking for the place-to-be in summer? Don’t hesitate any longer; Hotel Paradise is made for you! Ideal for friends, family or for lovers on honeymoon. A few years ago, I went on a girls’ trip to Florida. We used our savings, went to a travel agency, and booked a flight to Miami. Everything was included in the price. We stayed at the hotel for eighteen days and we all slept in a luxurious suite overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Each suite is equipped with king-size beds or double beds, a private balcony, a full bathroom, a separate lounge area, a large flat-screen TV with free channels, Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning. We partied a lot during our stay , and my friends and I were often lying in while most of the tourists were sunbathing at the hotel pool the next morning. We did a bit of sightseeing and shopping on Lincoln Road. We also visited Jungle Island (which is one of the most popular attractions in the city of Miami). It was only a few minutes away from the hotel.

ÉditionsVANIN

Formation

Utilisation

On utilise le past continuous pour parler d’une action en cours à un moment précis du passé.

– Si cette action se déroule en même temps qu’une autre action au passé, on retrouve souvent la conjonction de subordination while signifiant « pendant que » : I was listening to music while my brother was doing his homework.

I was listening to music

My brother was doing his homework

Ces deux actions sont simultanées.

– Si cette action est interrompue par une autre action, on retrouve souvent la conjonction de subordination when signifiant « quand ». Cette deuxième action est brève et conjuguée au past simple : I was watching tv when my phone rang.

I was watching TV

The phone rang

L’action de regarder la télé est interrompue par le téléphone qui sonne.

FORME AFFIRMATIVE

ÉditionsVANIN

Comme pour le present continuous, nous avons besoin de deux éléments pour former le past continuous. Il s’agit ici de l’auxiliaire « to be » (was ou were) conjugué au past simple et du verbe en « ing ».

Règles d’orthographe

Lorsqu’on ajoute la terminaison -ing au radical du verbe, on applique les règles suivantes :

1) Si le verbe se termine par une voyelle + l, on double toujours le « l » en anglais. to travel g travelling to cancel g cancelling

2) Les verbes d’une syllabe contenant une voyelle et terminés par une seule consonne doublent la consonne devant le -ing. to run g running to swim g swimming

3) Pour les verbes de deux syllabes ou plus, la règle précédente reste valable uniquement si la dernière syllabe est accentuée. to begin g beginning

ÉditionsVANIN

4) Si le verbe se termine en -e, le « e » tombe devant -ing et la consonne n’est pas redoublée. to cycle g cycling to dance g dancing

5) Si le verbe se termine en -ie, le « ie » se transforme en « y » devant le -ing. to lie g lying to die g dying

5. Put the verbs in brackets into the past continuous.

a) John is a real football supporter. When I arrived, he (to watch) the football match on TV, and he (to drink) a beer at the same time. Of course, he (to wear) his team’s official shirt.

b) she was having a shower, the water was cut off.

c) Somebody knocked at the door she was working.

d) The cat was trying to catch the mouse it ran away.

e) Everybody was singing “Happy birthday” I was opening my presents.

7. Put the verbs in brackets into the past continuous or past simple. Choose the appropriate tense.

b) I (to drink) coffee when I (to jump).

c) I (to hear – not) the bell; I (to have) a shower.

d) I (to cross) the street when a driver (to go) through the red light. He (to look – not) where he (to go) so he nearly (to bump) into me.

We talked to each other on the phone. Nous nous sommes parlé au téléphone They don’t like each other. Ils ne s’aiment pas.

– Les pronoms personnels réfléchis

Comme en français, les pronoms réfléchis s’utilisent lorsque le pronom complément renvoie à la même personne que le sujet (moi-même, toi-même, etc.).

Who was that?

A famous explorer

You’re surfing the Internet and you come across a video by your favourite TikTok influencer. He talks about his last adventure during which he decided to travel the world, following in James Cook’s footsteps. This video made you curious and you want to know more about this famous explorer.

Read the text and create James Cook’s profile.

ÉditionsVANIN

James Cook

James Cook, also known as Captain Cook, was a British explorer, navigator, and cartographer from the 18th century. He was born a long time ago, on 7th November 1728 in Middlesbrough, in England, and died on 14th February 1779 in Hawaii. He is famous for his three voyages crossing the Pacific Ocean, discovering New Zealand and Australia in particular.

James Cook’s family was very poor. He had seven brothers and sisters. His father, also named James Cook, was a Scottish farm worker. His mother’s name was Grace Pace.

When he was still a child, James showed that he was smart and independent, so his father’s employer decided to pay for his school education. After five years of school, at the age of 14, he started helping his dad, who had become a farm manager. James was good at mathematics, astronomy, and cartography. In 1745, at the age of 16, he moved to Staithes, a fishing village, where he became an apprentice in a shop. In those days, children didn’t go to school for a long time. Some people say that's where he started dreaming about the sea. One year and a half later, his employer realised James was not made for that job so he decided to take him to Whitby. He introduced James to two of his friends: John and Henry Walker who were both ship owners in the coal trade. James became a merchant navy apprentice for them and started selling coal on the North Sea coast. During his apprenticeship, he studied algebra, trigonometry, navigation, and astronomy. When his apprenticeship was over, Cook started working on trading ships in the Baltic Sea. A few years later, in 1755, he became commander of a sailing ship and passed an exam allowing him to command a Royal Navy ship. A month later, he volunteered for service in the Royal Navy for the Seven Years’ War. Although he didn’t have much time for family life, James got married in 1762, when he was 34 years old. His wife’s name was Elizabeth Batts. Together they had six children: James, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Joseph, George, and Hugh. Cook and his wife have no direct descendants because all their children died before having

children of their own. A few years after his wedding, James started drawing maps. He was very talented.

On 25 May 1768, Cook began his first voyage to the Pacific Ocean. One of the main objectives was to find a hypothetical austral continent. He left England, passed through Cape Horn, discovered New Zealand, and made a map of it. He also discovered Australia when he landed at Botany Bay on 29th April 1770. Once his observations were over, James sailed back to England.

Just after his return from his first voyage, Cook officially became captain. He started his second voyage in 1772. He reached icebergs and approached the Antarctic. He mainly navigated to the south. He came back to England in 1775.

ÉditionsVANIN

In 1776, as soon as a third voyage was planned, Captain Cook left his native land and got back to the sea. He discovered Sandwich Island in Hawaii and explored the Bering Strait. During his stay in 1779, the Hawaiian people became hostile to Cook and his crew. Their chief stabbed Cook in the head and captured him. He was then beaten till he died. Some rumours say the indigenous people were cannibals and ate his body. After his death, his crew navigated to the Arctic and to China. Captain James Cook is considered one of the greatest explorers and one of the most talented map makers of all time. There is now a Captain Cook Memorial Museum in Whitby, in Henry Walker’s House.

Chris’s tip

Did you notice? The verbs in Cook’s biography are conjugated in the past simple because they all refer to finished actions, habits, or states in the past.

Can we write a biography about a person that is still alive using the past simple only? No.

Why? Because as the person is still alive, he/she can still accomplish things.
