Libre à qui le souhaite de tisser ici ses propres fils avec ceux d'un blog à la trame dessinée par l'anglais et son univers. Orientés par exemple par l'histoire, l'humour, la musique ou le cinéma ses vidéos, textes, sons, illustrations -etc- viennent y prolonger les thèmes explorés en cours, et j'y publie des ressources conçues pour enrichir la pratique de la langue. S'il peut devenir outil de progression, je souhaite aussi qu'il vous procure plaisir et parfois même amusement... why not ?!

WANTED :
Social Networkers' self-mockery ;o)
By kalokwong1 - on 9GAG.com, a fun sharing community
High School students & beyond :
Decode the reasons why the author of the poster has chosen each explanation... can you answer these questions?
Twitter : "I'm eating bacon"
How long are the messages displayed on Twitter? So, why is the verb "eat" present continuous?
Fbook : "I like bacon"
... hmmm. Nah, I won't help you! The answer's far too easy...
LinkedIn : "I have skills including eating bacon"
If you don't know this network, check what linkedin is... and you'll get the answer! The key-word is "skills".
Foursquare : "This is where I eat bacon"
Which is the key-word? 1st clue : this one helps to find places - 2nd clue : check it here!
YouTube : "Watch me eat my bacon"
... you know the answer-key comes with the word "watch", don't you?
. . . ?? : "Here's a vintage photo of my bacon"
Well, I give up : it's surely a photography social media, but I couldn't find what this logo corresponds to : if you can find the social media it represents, please tell me!
⇒ I knew you'd find it (1) : the logo shows Instagram's camera.
Pinterest : "Here's a recipe with bacon"
Why not explain what ' Pinterest' is?
Google+ : "I work for Google and eat bacon"
How does Google work -I mean how does it earn money? As a result... why does the poster tell that you work for Google whenever you use it on the web pages you surf?
Last.fm : "I'm listening to music about bacon"
Well, both "fm" and "listening to music" are clues to a proper answer : what can you do on this website? Who owns last.fm? You'll find the answer here.
Here you are : hope you've learnt a bit more on a few Internet social media networks and had fun :)
