Hello, dear Workers!

Voici un nouvel exercice d'expression de "vacances" ... Espérons que vous serez nombreux à vous y essayer ...

Je vous en prie ... Osez participer ! N'ayez pas peur de vous tromper, de faire des fautes, ou d'écrire "hors sujet". Les fautes nous sont utiles, puisqu'elles permettent de réfléchir, de faire des corrections et de donner des explications ...
Paradoxalement, faire une faute est la meilleure chose qui puisse NOUS arriver, à vous, comme à moi ! Merci à ceux qui en font !
N'ayez pas de scrupules, vous ne serez pas jugés, mais simplement guidés et aidés ...
C'est en pratiquant, encore et souvent, que les progrès viendront ! N'hésitez donc pas à intervenir, pour la correction des expressions de vos co-workers, comme pour l'écriture de votre propre expression si vous le désirez ...

Voici le rappel des modalités de la première partie de l'exercice :
1. Je vous demande une EXPRESSION sur le sujet proposé (un sujet unique par exercice) à m’envoyer en mp dès que possible … (=> 130 - 150 mots au maximum.)

2. Le plus tôt possible, une première expression est publiée sur le Forum, et CHACUN est libre de « corriger » UNE FOIS ( en collant le texte et indiquant les erreurs EN BLEU, et en soulignant ce qui vous semble maladroit et que vous voudriez changer, sans donner la « correction » (forme correcte), comme il se doit.) Un seul devoir à la fois sera publié pour corriger …

Les modalités complètes sont accessibles sur le lien suivant :
Lien internet


( Je vous les rappellerai au fur et à mesure de la progression du travail )

Hello!

Yes, it's very difficult! One of you has tried... PLEASE, please... help that courageous student,[thanks for stepping in!]
[Blue until 14th of August 5pm, green from 14th to the 16th! GO!!! ]

EXPRESSION N°1: Please, indicate possible mistakes in blue, and underline what you think is clumsy.

Now I’m ruling the world … I reached my goal ! Now I’m Master of the world : I decide that all work is abolished. All the ressources are shared and good will is the important principle : you do what you can. If your strong, you cultivate the land, if you’re not, you give what you can in function of your abilities. Everybody must give up your belonging to the State, which will use it as is necessary for the well-being of the society. The only duties are to serve all the others and to make them laughing (at last one hour everyday). Every Minister must have humour and be amusing. The more amusing people are the more important in the country. The positivism is compulsory. You cannot be sad or depressed : if you are, you are sent to a foreign country to enfeeble them. You are a sort of spies to destuct the sad ennemies. 157 words

Thanks for your help!

Hello Here is my input.

EXPRESSION N°1: LATTER STAGE

Now I’m ruling the world … I have reached my goal ! Now I’m the Master of the world : I have decided that all work is going to be abolished. All resources are going to be shared and goodwill is going to be the most important principle : you are going to do what you can. If you're strong, you're going to cultivate the land, if you’re not, you're going to handle it as best you can, out of your abilities. Everybody is going to have to give away their belongings to the state, which will use them as is necessary for the well-being of the society. The only duties are going to be to serve all the others and (to) make them laugh, at least one hour every day/ per day. Every minister's going to have a sense of hum(o)ur and be amusing/ entertaining. The most amusing people are going to be the most important ones in the country, and positivism is going to be compulsory. You are not going to be able to be sad or depressed : if you are, you're going to be sent to a foreign country to enfeeble your bitter thoughts. You're also going to be a sort/kind of spy whose duty is going to be the pinpointing of our sad enemies.

Not an utterly joyful world , I hope that the writter will never reach the power See you soon, workers!!

Hello dears!

Sorry I'm a few hours late... (I should have posted this morning at the latest... )

Here's EXPRESSION N°2: requiring your careful proofreading!

If I ruled the world, I would do anything to make it a better place to live in. I would immediately prohibit wars, armed conflicts, "military operations" or whatever they call it....

That seems impossible, doesn't it? Not necessarily in a nationless community, without borders, where no one tries to invade their neighbours for territorial expansion. Everyone would become fully aware that they are first and foremost on Earth, and that the Earth must be preserved.

All arms would be destroyed. People would work for peace, happiness and mutual aid. In addition, everyone would understand each other, as their mother tongue would be English all over the world.

With such a programme, I can't understand why I'm not already ruling the world, can you? (127)


Will you make any suggestions? Please, show possible mistakes in blue and underline what you think is clumsy! (Green will be allowed on August 20th.

Enjoy your holiday and take care.

Hello, dears!

Thanks for your help! Let's consider EXPRESSION N°2 is ready!

Here is EXPRESSION N°3: Please, indicate possible mistakes in blue, and underline what you think is clumsy.


If I ruled the world, I would first do my best to eschew the pauperization of the poorest societies! For this purpose, amounts of money would be given away to Africa and South America from richer countries: every country whose means are sufficient would have to put in a financial effort; the same goes for the worldwide biggest fortunes. Localized poverty would also be dealt with case by case, consisting of subventions aiming at helping homeless and low-income people. Children exploitation, torture methods along with death penalty would be prohibited and severly repressed with imprisonment penalties. Moreover, bringing an end to the global warming would also be a milestone of the project I would have conceived of: customs such as the clearing of rainforests, the hunting of endangered species, the use of pesticides or even air conditioning would be punished with no mercy through steep fines.

Thanks for your efforts!

EXPRESSION N°3: suggestions


If I ruled the world, I would first do my best to reduce (1) the pauperization of the poorest societies! For this purpose, large (2) amounts of money would be given away to Africa and South America from richer countries: every country whose means are sufficient would have to put in a financial effort; the same goes for the worldwide biggest fortunes. Localized poverty would also be dealt with case by case, consisting of subventions aiming at helping homeless and low-income people.

Moreover(5), the exploitation of children (3), torture methods along with death penalty would be prohibited and severely (4) repressed with imprisonment penalties.

Finally(5), bringing an end to the global warming would also be a milestone of the project I would have conceived of: customs such as the clearing of rainforests, the hunting of endangered species, the use of pesticides or even air conditioning would be punished with no mercy through steep fines...

J'ai laissé pauperization et localized mais on peut aussi mettre pauperisation et localised

(1) eschew ne me semble pas approprié dans ce contexte : la pauvreté est déjà là, bien installée. Il ne s'agit pas de l'éviter, la rejeter, la fuir, mais bien de la réduire, de lutter contre. Je propose reduce. Voire, si l'on est très ambitieux : eradicate.

(2) "amounts" tout seul me semble un peu "orphelin". On s'attend à un qualificatif pour le caractériser. Je propose large, ou substantial.

(3) je me trompe peut-être mais quand j'ai vu "children exploitation", ça m'a semblé sonner un peu faux. J'aimerais avoir l'avis d'Here4U sur ce point

(4) Si j'ai tort, il me faut des preuves

(5) J'ai un peu changé les mots de liaison car la dernière phrase semble tourner court (on attendrait presque une suite, une conclusion).
Par ailleurs, j'ai mis 3 points de suspension à la fin pour bien mettre en valeur la portée menaçante de ce texte

All arms/ weapons would be destroyed. People would work for peace, happiness and mutual aid. In addition, everyone would understand each other, as their mother tongue (do you mean you’d exclude the people whose mother-tongue isn’t English? ) would be English all over the world.

children's exploitation: OK: génitif/ cas possessif// child exploitation/ child protection: = nom composé [ le premier reste au singulier !]
(4)Changement des mots de liaison.
- global warming: en général! pas d'article. Lien internet
L'article ne se met que lorsque l'expression est en position d'adjectif (suivie d'un nom !): the global warming solutions seem to.../ the global warming average temperatures... et encore; il serait possible d'argumenter que le contexte détermine alors l'expression générale.
Par ailleurs, 3 points de suspension à la fin pour bien mettre en valeur la portée menaçante de ce texte ... position un peu radicale, mais bon ! L'heure est grave !

Recherches sur "clearing rainforests" : What is the most likely effect of clearing rainforest?
The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for indigenous people.

steep adjective; figurative, informal (price: expensive) (prix) excessif, excessive adjective

Goodwill is the important principle: you do what you can. If you're strong, you cultivate the land, if you’re not, you give what you can to the best of your ability.
Everybody must hand over their property to the state, which will use it as is necessary for the well-being of the society. The only duties are to serve everyone else and to make them laugh (at least one hour a day). Every minister must have humour and be funny. The funniest people are going to be the most important ones in the country. Positivism is compulsory. You cannot be sad or depressed: if you are, you are sent to a foreign country to weaken them with your bitter thoughts. In a way, you are a kind of spy whose mission is to get rid of sad enemies.

(1) Etait-ce ce que tu attendais ?


EXPRESSION N°2: final suggestions:

If I ruled the world, I would do anything to make it a better place to live in. I would immediately prohibit wars, armed conflicts, "military operations" or whatever those presidents who justify that may call it....
That seems impossible, doesn't it? I think it would be possible(1) in a nationless community, without borders, where no one tries to invade their neighbours for territorial expansion. Everyone would become fully aware that they are first and foremost on Earth, and that the Earth must be preserved.
All weapons would be destroyed. People would work for peace, happiness and mutual aid. In addition, everyone would understand each other, as their mother tongue would gradually and finally become (2) English all over the world.
With such a programme, I can't understand why I'm not already ruling the world. Can you?

(1) Oui, c'était la réponse à la question précédente. Mais comme tu préfères les phrases, j'ai reformulé. Comme disaient mes profs de 6e et 5e : "Make a sentence!"
(2) J'espère que tu es rassurée sur mes intentions


EXPRESSION N°3: final suggestions:

If I ruled the world, I would first do my best to reduce the pauperization of the poorest societies! For this purpose, the richest countries would give away large amounts of money to Africa and South America: every country with sufficient resources would have to put in a financial effort; the same goes for the worldwide biggest fortunes. Localized poverty would also be dealt with case by case, consisting of grants aiming at helping homeless and low-income people.
Moreover, child exploitation, torture along with death penalty would be prohibited and severely repressed with imprisonment penalties.
Finally, bringing an end to global warming would also be a milestone of my project (1): customs such as the clearing of rainforests, the hunting of endangered species, the use of pesticides or even air conditioning would be punished with no mercy through stiff fines...


(1) Je n'ai pas trop compris pourquoi "I would have conceived of" était à revoir : c'est juste "of" qui pose problème ?

Hello Thanks for providing us with your corrections

EXPRESSION N°3: FOLLOW-UP WORK

If I ruled the world, I would first do my best to eradicate the pauperization of the poorest societies! For this purpose, richer countries would give away some amounts of money to Africa and South America (not "large" or "substantial" here because these sums would only stem from the financial abilities of donor countries ): every country which have enough money would have to put in a financial effort; the same goes for the worldwide biggest fortunes. Localized poverty would also be dealt with case by case, consisting of grants aiming at helping homeless and low-income people. The exploitation of children, methods of torture along with the death penalty would be prohibited and severely repressed with imprisonment penalties. Moreover, bringing an end to global warming would also be a milestone of the project I would have conceived: customs such as the clearing of rainforests, the hunting of endangered species, the use of pesticides or even air conditioning would be punished with no mercy through stiff fines.

I don't understand why I can't write: " ... that I have conceived of"
I looked up "to conceive" in my dictionary and it was written that the verb was followed by "of"

Yes! There's a difference between "conceive something" and "conceive of something":
1[transitive] (formal) to form an idea, a plan, etc. in your mind; to imagine something conceive something He conceived the idea of transforming the old power station into an arts center.
conceive of something (as something) God is often conceived of as male.

I felt the first verb suited the idea... but after all, it all depends on what you really meant!
