Well sun, you only have to stay put on your sofa and use your remote control to change the channel and watch a new episode of Dallas, or enjoy a football match, no! better than that! "the secret life of turtles" (tortues de mer)... see you soon!

bye sun

Thanks Jardine for these exercices.

Number 1 is very challenging...too me? Well, let's give it a try without using a dictionary, even if I'm craving to open it!

I/ EXPLAIN the difference between:
a) a tabloid and a quality paper: a tabloid concentrates on the sensational aspect of news, illustrated by a platheora of photos and stories published are not very reliable.
b) a journal and a magazine: a journal has dayly issues? As for a magazine, we're talking about weekly, monthly or even less frequent issues.
c) making a film in a studio and making films on locations: on locations refer to authentic settings as opposed to the ones created in studios.
d) an aerial and a satellite dish: a little bit technical for me. Through a satellite dish you'll be able to receive many more TV channels than via an aerial. Because it's called satellite dish, it seems that satellite plays a key role in the transmission but don't ask me to explain.
e) sub-titling and dubbing: when a movie's dubbed, there's a voice over, so instead of hearing the original voice of the actor, you hear the one of another actor who delivers the translated/adapted version of the original text. As for a sub-titled version, it requires the viewer to read the sub-titles/ translation of the original text.

II/ MATCH the 2 lists:
1- chat show: g- Talking to Oprah
-2- current affairs programme : f- The World This Week- -
3- detective story: a- Inspector Jack investigates
- 4-documentary : i- The Secret Life of Turtles
- 5- game show : - b- Win a CAr-
- 6- music programme:k-Saturday Night at the Music Hall
- 7- quiz- : - d- Brain to Britain
8-soap opera- : e- Dallas's Dynasty-
9- sports programme- : h- Match of the Week-
10- variety show- : j- This Week's Top CDs-
11- weather forecast: c- Tomorrow's Weather

III/ Each of these people can be found in either a newspaper office or a film studio. WHERE IS EACH PERSON MOST LIKEKY TO BE FOUND ?
- Film studio= actor- camera operator- - make-up artist- - continuity person : what we call script in French?

- News paper office: cartoonist- censor- columnist- critic- editor- foreign correspondant- sub-editor

IV / CHOOSE the right verb from the list and put it in the right form to complete the sentence.
1- This book has been published by Cambrige University Press
2- The film was shot on location in Siberia
3- Can you pick up Radio Tirana on your radio?
4- They show'The Titanic' on TV again tonight
5- Sunday newspapers come out once a week
6- Censors sometimes order films to be edited.
7- Some very good news programmes are broadcasted on the radio
8- It's a sub-editor's job to lay out the pages of a newspaper
9- Sub-editors are also often required to cut articles which are too long
10- Many British books are printed in Hong Kong
11- A remote control allows you to change channels from your sofa

Take care.

(5.00) Mais il n'y a pas d'heure pour les justes et mon père -toujours lui- disait que l'avenir appartient à ceux qui se lèvent tôt! - Oui, jusqu'à ce que les autres sortent du lit! (c'était un aparté, hors sujet pour expliquer la binette verte de Smiley, il m'en faudrait un qui bâillât...)
Nous disions THE PRESS >& THE MEDIA!
1- A tabloid is a popular newspaper which contains stories about film stars whereas a quality newspaper has a more serious approach to the news.
2- A journal is an academic magazine whereas a magazine is used more generally for hobby or other special interest magazines (garden, health,sports...)
3- Making a film in a studio means making a film in a special place owned by the film company where different sets are constructed for different films/ Making a film on locations means making the film in 'real' place, so that the film is shot against a backdrop of real countryside or buildings rather than against an artificial set.
4- These are both ways of receiving television signals but an aerial looks like (picture ! please...thanks!) a comb for hairy dogs whereas a satellite dish looks like THIS! --->(PICTURE x ....Fine!)=> a large shallow cereal bowl that 6 persons can share.
5- These are both ways of showing films in countries where a different language is spoken from a language in which the film was originally made. With sub-titling the translation of the script is written on the screen for the audience to read whereas with dubbing the audience hears actors reading a translation of the original script. (which I personally hate!= personal point of view!)

PROGRAMMES :
1- chat show= talking to Oprah (who's Oprah?)
2- current affairs programme: The World this Week
3- detective story = Inspector Jack Investigates ( Jack?... the Ripple?)
4- documentary = The Secret Life of Turtles ( no longer secret after !)
5- game show = Win a Car ( I had rather win a thalasso in Greece!)
6- music programme = This Week's Top CDs
7- quiz = Brain to Britain
8- soap opera = Dalla's Dynasty ( can't wait for next!)
9- sports programme = Match of the Week (or how to get some
10-variety show = Saturday night in the Music Hall
11-weather forecast = Tomorrow's Weather ( and ...today? )
NEWSPAPER OFFICE or FILM STUDIO (= NO or FS)
1- Actor = FS
2- camera operator = FS
3- cartoonist = BOTH
4- censor = FS ( though in some countries will be also found in NO)
5- columnist = NO
6- continuity person = FS
7- critic = NO
8- editor = NO
9- foreign correspondant = NO
10- make-up artist = FS
11- sub-editor = NO
RIGHT WORDS:
1- This book is PUBLISHED by Cam.Uni.Press
2- The film was SHOT on location in Siberia
3- Can you PICK UP radio Tirana on your radio?
4- They are SHOWing the Titanic on TV again
5- Sunday newspapers COME OUT / are PUBLISHED once a week
6- Censors sometimes order films to be CUT
7- Some very good programmes are BROADCAST on the radio
8- It is the sub-editor's job TO LAY OUT the pages of a newspaper
9- Sub-editors are often required TO EDIT or TO CUT articles when they are too long
10- Many British books are PRINTed in Hong Kong
11- A remote control allows you to CHANGE channels from your sofa.
* ( Took me an hour to type the correction as I kept typing mistakes!
A very good day to you ! There's a hint of pnk in the East here...
