Lis avec moi le synopsis pour travailler ta prononciation.


Quand Jennifer, une lycéenne, disparaît dans la forêt aux alentours du tranquille village de Montfaucon, Océane et Maya, ses deux meilleures amies, semblent d'abord persuadées qu'elle va revenir. Mais rapidement, les éléments découverts laissent penser qu'il est arrivé quelque chose de grave. Mais Océane et Maya n'ont pas tout dit à propos de la disparition de leur amie. Que savent-elles qu'elles n'osent pas raconter aux enquêteurs ? Que penser des indices cryptiques retrouvés dans le cadre des investigations ? Que cache la forêt ? Pour le lieutenant Musso et le capitaine Decker, le jeu de piste ne fait que commencer…

008 Why Does Everyone Learn the Same First Song on Guitar?

Pizza is one of the world's most popular fast foods. It's believed that over 5 billion pizzas are sold around the world every year. In the US alone, people buy about 3 billion pizzas each year, which is about 46 slices per person!

But it wasn't always as popular as it is today — in fact, it used to be looked down on, even by Italians!

The modern pizza we know today started in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. Poor people in the city needed cheap food that was easy to eat as they looked for work. Street vendors sold them pizzas with simple toppings like garlic and tomatoes.

For a long time, pizza was looked down on as food for the poor, and visitors to Naples thought it was dirty and unappealing.

But this changed in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Italy tried pizza and loved it. The pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil was named after her, and pizza started to become a national dish in Italy.

Pizza became a favorite in the US after Italian immigrants brought it with them. It became especially popular in cities like New York, and new styles like Chicago deep dish and Hawaiian were invented.

And it became even more popular with the invention of frozen pizza, which let people make their own pizzas at home.

Today, pizza is enjoyed around the world, with many different toppings and styles. But its basic form hasn't changed very much from all those years ago.

「ネコのクロエちゃん」My cat Chloe


The aim of this lesson...
ペットのことを　話します。
to talk about pets!!



4)Text, Applied conversation practice, Extra thinking training　［3：05］ 


★★Text(Kanji)★★
クロエちゃんは　ネコです。うちに来てから、もうすぐ１年です。初めは　テレビの　後ろに　隠れていましたが、今は　ベッドの　真ん中で　グーグー寝ています。

かくれんぼが　大好きです。
わたしが　隠れると、クロエちゃんは　ニャーニャーなきながら、わたしを　探します。ご飯が　食べたいとき、口を　ペロペロしています。本当に　かわいいです。

そんなクロエちゃんを　見ていると、
元気な気持ちに　なります。クロエちゃんは　わたしの　癒しです。いつも　クロエちゃんに　癒されています。



★★Applied conversation practice★★
（Animal species）の（Pet Name）は　（Animal noises）なきながら、
・・・　What your pet does　・・・ます。


れい）〈いぬ〉ポチ、ワンワン、まいにち　げんかんで　ぼくを　むかえる（　He greets me at the door every day.　）
　1）　〈ねこ〉たまちゃん、ニャーニャー、わたしを　さがす
　2）　〈ブタ〉じろう、ブーブー、いえのなかを　うろうろする（　He wanders around the house.　）



★★Extra thinking training★★
「すると、いつも」の「と」は、どれですか。
Which is the “と” in “すると、いつも"?

れい）いぬの　ぷーすけは、おかあさんと　いっしょに　スーパーに　いきました。　×

れい）いぬの　ぷーすけは　おかあさんを　みると、とんで　よろこびます。　◎

１）いぬの　ぷーすけは、とりを　みて、「わん」と　なきました。
２）いぬの　ぷーすけは　ごはんを　たべると、すぐに　ねます。　


NOTE:
The sentence pattern “Vdic. と、～” means “Vます。すると、いつも～”. Therefore, the example sentence “いぬの　ぷーすけは　おかあさんを　みると、とんで　よころびます” means “いぬの　ぷーすけが　おかあさんを　みる→ いつもとんでよろこぶ”. It has the same meaning as “V る+とき ,” but with the added nuance of “いつも(always)”.
