Exercise 3 : Read the following text.
Lis le texte suivant.
The first type of diner was created in 1872 by Walter Scott, who sold food out of a
horse-pulled wagon, in Rhode Island, USA.
Diners are small restaurants which can be found for the most part in the USA, as
well as in Canada and Western European countries. They mostly and typically serve
American food such as hamburgers, French fries, club sandwiches but also desserts
such as pancakes, pies and milkshakes. And of course, you can have coffee there.
Much of the food is quickly cooked and grilled, and the fare is cheap.
Waitstaff wear uniforms and sometimes rollerblades.
Most diners have extended hours and can stay open for 24 hours.
The atmosphere is relaxed and the interior is decorated in a retro style.
Exercise 4 : With the help of the text, circle meals and desserts served in diners.
À l’aide du texte, entoure les plats et les desserts servis dans les diners.

/!\ Reminder – rappel
●Pour exprimer la volonté (« vouloir »), on utilise le verbe « want » suivi d’un nom
ou d’une base verbale (ou forme du verbe à l’infinitif).
Exemple : « I want a cake. » (je veux un gâteau)
« I want to eat a cake. » (je veux manger un gâteau)
On peut également exprimer la volonté avec les expressions « would like to », « would
love to » ou dans leur forme contractée « ‘d like to », « ‘d love to » qui se traduisent
en français par le conditionnel des verbes « aimer », « adorer ».
Exemple : « I would like to be a doctor. » (j’aimerais être médecin)
« He’d love to travel to Japan. » (il adorerait voyager au Japon)
Attention, n’oublie pas « to » après « want », « would like » et « would love » s’ils
sont suivis d’un verbe. N’oublie également pas l’article « a » devant le nom des
métiers.
[expression ecrite]
Exercise 5 : Like Thomas, write a few lines about the job(s) you want or would like to
do. Explain your choice(s).
Comme Thomas, écris quelques lignes sur le(s) métier(s) que tu aimerais

13 Tip – astuce
● En anglais, lorsque l’on écrit une lettre ou un email à une personne que l’on ne connaît
pas, il est préférable de commencer par « Dear Sir » (cher monsieur) ou « Dear Madam »
(chère madame). Sinon, tu peux écrire « Dear Mr. ... » et « Dear Mrs. ... » et compléter avec
le nom du destinataire. En formule de politesse pour la fin, tu peux écrire comme Ben « best
regards » (bien cordialement) ou bien simplement « regards » (cordialement) ou encore
« yours sincerely » ou pour être plus professionnel « yours faithfully » (cordialement, en plus
soutenu).
Exercise 4 : Like Ben did, apply for the job offer of Active Summer. Choose an activity you
would like to teach. Write about what you like to do and your hobbies. Don’t forget to
mention when you are available.
Prends exemple sur Ben et postule pour l’offre d’emploi d’Active Summer. Choisis une
activité que tu aimerais enseigner. Ecris ce que tu aimes faire et tes loisirs. N’oublie pas de
mentionner tes disponibilités.
