DON'T FORGET!

RYAN , our tall dark-haired English assistant IS HERE!
You'll see. He's very nice and i'm sure he'll be very helpful.

On strike!

I have decided to go on strike today because as an English teacher, i'm not satisfied with the number of lessons i have with my pupils. On top of that, i consider that there are many things to improve in our school system and i don't think we're on the right track.

As for tomorrow, i won't be here in the afternoon because i have to go and meet the assistant with our inspectors. We are doing a big meeting with all the assistants in Reims.

explorez ce blog

un blog, c'est un journal dont la dernière entrée apparait en premier. J'ai commencé celui-ci il y a plus d'un an. Si vous souhaitez avoir accès aux différents messages, soit vous l'explorez à partir du moteur de recherche en haut à gauche, par exemple, si vous tapez verbs, vous irez directement au post (un message dans un blog) qui vous amènera à la liste des verbes irréguliers; soit vous cliquez sur les différents mois dans la colonne de gauche exemple: juin 2005= O5/O6. Bonne exploration et n'oubliez pas de me laisser des messages (remarques, questions, etc...)

Pour bien surfer

Je vous conseille vivement de télécharger Mozilla firefox. C'est un navigateur (comme internet explorer) mais en mieux, surtout grâce à son système d'onglets. Vous êtes par exemple sur mon blog. Vous voyez un lien ver un site. Vous faites un clic droit dessus et choisissez l'option : "ouvrir dan s un nouvel onglet". Vous aurez alors dans la même page, mon blog, et le site que je vous conseille. Vous pouvez ouvrir plusieurs onglets. c'est pratique et c'est gratuit. Vive le freeware et bon surf.

BONNE RENTREE!

I wish you the best for your new school year.
The new term begins tomorrow. Make the best out of it.
Sincerely. Elisabeth Bilien.

A question!

An answer:

Oral d'anglais possible au baccalauréat

• en série ES avec LV Renforcée

• en série L.

We, the "agrégation interne" candidates had to write about
Fragmentation in Flannery O'Connor's Complete Stories.
I thought it was a difficult subject but not devoid of interest!
Well, good bye. I've got some translation work tomorrow. ..
See you all on Monday and thanks again for the question!

Some Bike!

I remember clearly how amazed i was to see on the Los Angeles wide freeways and avenues the most impressive vehicles, either trucks, quads or two or three-wheel bikes. That was 1979.
It seems it hasn't changed much when i look at that recent picture.

Au pair: going abroad!

BONNES VACANCES!

Un peu de français ce soir...
De très bonnes fêtes de fin d'année à tous de la part de votre prof d'anglais:
Qu'elles soient frugales et délicieuses,
Vitales et partageuses.
Que vos souhaits soient motivés
Que votre temps soit raisonné.
Chaque instant une expérience,
Chaque action une décision,
Avec paix et amour.
Soyez jeunes, soyez fiers, soyez libres,
Apprenez de la vie et la respectez.

PS: Je ferai de mon mieux pour être plus à l'écoute, plus précise,
moins véhémente et plus pondérée dans mes propos;
Bref, plus efficace dans mon travail. Bien à vous.
Elisabeth Diot-Bilien
