Overcoming culture differences:

Stereotypes about the British/British people are:

-They drink tea

- the food is terrible

- the weather is awful

-they are very introverted

-they have pale skin => they are pale-skinned

- they have blond hair => they are blond-haired

On peut faire un adjectif composé en ajoutant -ED à la fin du nom

ex :She's a blue eyed blond haired pale skinned girl.

Les adjectifs de nationalité: The + adj. = le peuple

- They have huge/prominent front teeth: the stereotype is contradicted.

- They are not always introverted; They can be open and welcoming.

Expression écrite

They can support them and do more compliments. They have to be serious but also cool. Teachers can give gifts or a surprise to their pupils if they have a good grade.

And also they can allow students together and give them a responsability for example: in my opinion to assign students classroom jobs is a great way to emprove and to encourage them.

Watkinson, who has was Mo Farah's PE teacher (physical education teacher), helped him by encouraging Mo to take part into athletics meetings and by helping him with his school work => he «drove Farah to athletics meetings, using trips around the M25 as impromptu English lessons» (l.12-13).

He also helped him to remain focused => «there were so many distractions that could get in the way» (L. 10-11)

No, Billy's teacher doesn't believe him when he says he didn't deliberately let the ball in because when Billy says «I couldn't help it» in line 21, Billy's teacher answers «Rubbish lad» in line 22.
