Section One - Part B Traveling by bus is always an adventure. In West Africa, where the francophone countries are, the best time to take the bus is first thing in the morning because it's the fastest and safest time to travel. Why fastest? Because many West African countries are Muslim. Muslims are required to pray five times a day, and many African buses take prayer breaks. Prayers start at 2 pm. All the passengers get off the bus to pray for 15 minutes. Multiplied by five, that add at least three hours to a trip. So the best thing to do is to get most of your trip over before 2 pm to shorten your travel time.   Regarde la Présentation Clique sur le symbole de la télé pour voir comment parler de faire un voyage. Fais attention parce qu'il y a beaucoup de vocabulaire nouveau. Écris les mots nouveaux quand tu les vois. (Watch the presentation to learn how to talk about taking a trip. Pay attention because there are a lot of new words. Write down the new words when you see them.) Vocabulaire Now that you have seen the presentation, you should have a list of words that were new to you. Do you? If you do not, please go back and do that now. Look at the list below. These are the new words that will be the focus of this unit. Be sure to learn them. If there were additional words you did not know or remember, you may want to let your teacher know or look them up and spend time working with them also. planifier to plan l'agence de voyages the travel agency un billet d'avion an airplane ticket faire la valise to pack the suitcase la valise the luggage le vol the flight je me présente I present myself le guichet the ticket counter j'enregistre mes valises I check-in my bags les bagages à main carry-on bags la sécurité security pendant while verifier to verify/to check le panneau the flight arrivals/departures schedule announcement la porte the gate rater le vol to miss the flight embarquer to board le billet d'embarquement boarding pass le décollage take-off attacher to fasten la ceinture de sécurité the seatbelt un siège près de la fenêtre window seat un siège côté couloir aisle seat atterrir to land chercher les valises get your bags la douane customs   Practice Practice le nouveau vocabulaire ici. JigWord Le "franglais" Some words in English do not have a translation into French. In many cases, French has borrowed words from English. Many French people do not like this because they believe it contaminates their language with words that are not really theirs. Here are some examples of these words. le week-end le parking le steak le shopping cool le manager le rock le fast food excité/e   Le Projet For the project in Unit 10, you are going to plan a trip to a French-speaking country. You may choose whatever country you like as long as it is approved by your teacher. You will write a 200 word essay in French that you have learned in this course talking about what you will do while you are there and about getting there. You will need to include the following in your project: Why you are interested in visiting that country? When you are going to go? What you will pack in your suitcase? What you will do while you are there? What these things will cost? What money will you use while there? You will include a section about the specifics about the actual trip--going to the airport, waiting for the flight, etc. You will need to include pictures of the items you find in your essay. There are four deadlines for the project: Deadline 1: Country idea: 5 points Deadline 2: Outline and brainstorming: 5 points Deadline 3: Rough draft: 5 points Deadline 4: Final project: 25 points Go to Project 1B to turn in this assignment.
