Hello J

We want you to present our program of the 8^th grade in the lFM. We used a book called Spring 4 written by Francoise Lemarchand ,Kathleen Julie et Jean-Remi  Lapaire . We learned  a lot of English culture for example english recipes and party like yhe Thanksgiving day and grammar with our teacher miss Kristina .

We learnt  vocabulary of American vegetables fruits and ingredients,kitchen,food,transport,shops,positions and directions types of homes,rooms,every day action,family tree,deshes etc….

We also learnt a lot of Irregular verbs (page 157,158,159).Here 8 of them:

surgir	to arise	arose	arisen
apporter	to bring	brought	brought
faire	to do	did	done
combattre	to fight	fought	fought
aller	to go	went	gone
garder	to keep	kept	kept
laisser	to let	let	let
Reflechir	to think	thought	thought

We learnt too the rule how to use SINCE and FOR

SINCE  always goes before an expression of a precise moment

example: I play tennis since last year.

FOR always goes before an expression of a timespan

Example : I play piano for 10 minutes .

We kept our attention on adjectives too.

Long-Long

Short-Court

Near-Pres

Far-Loin

Small-Petit

We song some songs like:

, If you were a sailboat"

If you're a cowboy I would trail you,
If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor.
If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you're a river I would swim you,
If you're a house I would live in you all my days.
If you're a preacher I'd begin to change my ways.

Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.

If I was in jail I know you'd spring me
If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long
If was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs.

Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.

If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you'd read me every night

If you're a cowboy I would trail you,
If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor.
If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore

My favourite things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

That was a great year and we want to say a big THANK YOU to our teacher Miss Autefault.
