ondoners love their parks. When the weather is good, they play frisbee, fly a kite, or
roller-blade in Hyde Park or Green Park. Open-air concerts and plays* take place in
parks, particularly in the summer. Gangs of friends or families bring a picnic and enjoy the
show.

amilies often go to a pub for their

They meet in fast-food restaurants or they

eenagers under 18 can’t get into night-clubs, but some clubs
have “under-18 nights”. Some Youth Clubs organize afternoon
and evening discos for teenagers. In the summer, there are open-air
concerts and music festivals in stadiums like Finsbury park.
You can go to the Wembley Arena for rock and pop concerts, or to
the Brixton Academy for rock, reggae and rap music.

STRATEGIES
How to improve your vocabulary
FILE 1
Avoir un vocabulaire riche et varié en anglais ? Comment faire ? Il y a trois étapes essentielles à
respecter : la mémorisation, le stockage et l’enrichissement.
MÉMORISATION
• Entraîne-toi à mémoriser tous les adjectifs que tu as appris dans File 1.
TIPS
Pour bien mémoriser son vocabulaire, il faut faire quelque chose avec :
- classer les mots à apprendre par thèmes ;
- dans chaque liste par thème, les classer par synonymes ou contraires, par
catégories grammaticales ou inventer un autre classement ;
- noter la traduction des mots ou les illustrer par un dessin ;
- employer les mots dans des phrases ;
- fermer les yeux, voir un mot écrit dans sa tête et le recopier de mémoire ;
- inventer divers jeux de mémorisation : mimes, petites papiers français-anglais dans
une enveloppe, choisir une lettre au hasard et trouver un mot qui commence par
cette lettre, etc. ;
- varier les techniques pour trouver celle qui te convient le mieux.
STOCKAGE
• Prépare-toi un planning de révisions pour les adjectifs de File 1 que tu as mémorisés.
En voici un exemple :
• Commence toujours tes révisions par un petit test (à partir des traductions, des dessins, des petits
papiers français-anglais, etc.), pour savoir combien de mots tu parviens à retrouver de mémoire.
Note ton score avant la révision.
• Révise surtout les mots que tu avais oubliés en choisissant diverses techniques de mémorisation.
Travaille pendant une dizaine de minutes.
• Teste-toi et note ton score après révision. S’il n’est pas parfait, tu feras mieux à la prochaine révision !
TIP
80% du vocabulaire que tu apprends est oublié dans les 24 heures.
Une seule solution : réviser régulièrement à l’aide d’un planning de révision.
ENRICHISSEMENT
• Il y a certainement d’autres adjectifs de personnalité que tu connais. Ajoute-les aux adjectifs
appris dans File 1 et mémorise-les en même temps.
• Chaque fois que tu rencontreras un autre adjectif de personnalité pendant l’année, pense à
l’ajouter dans ta fiche.
TIPS
18
- Laisse toujours de la place sur les fiches de vocabulaire que tu constitues,
pour pouvoir les enrichir.
- Chaque fois que tu apprends des mots nouveaux, cherche dans quelle
fiche tu pourrais les placer, sinon commence de nouvelles fiches.

Well, all you need is love and understanding
Ring the bell and let the people know
We’re so happy and we’re celebratin’
Come on and let your feelings show.
Love is all, well love is all,
Love is all, can’t you hear the call
Oh, love is all you need,
Love is all you need at the Butterfly Ball.
Ain’t you happy that we’re all together
At the Ball in nature’s countryside
And although we’re wearing different faces
Nobody wants to hide.
Love is all and all is love and
It’s easy, yes it’s so easy
At the Butterfly Ball where love is all
And it’s so easy.
All you need is love and understanding
Hey, ring the bell and let the people know
We’re so happy and we’re celebratin’
Let your feelings show.
Love is all, yes love is all at the Butterfly Ball
Love is big, love is small
Love is free, love is all
At the Butterfly Ball.
When your back’s to the wall
When you’re starting to fall
You got something to lean on
Love is everything
It can make you sing at the Butterfly Ball
Love is all, I say love is all, yes love is all
At the Butterfly Ball.
