Book excerpt: Vous avez une bonne connaissance de l'anglais, mais savez-vous le parler ? Sauriez-vous traduire : " il boit comme un trou ", " je lui ai posé un lapin ", " ne coupe pas les cheveux en quatre " ?, trouver dix synonymes de " wonderful " ?, déjouer les subtilités de " to go around in, off, on, under, up... " ? Que vous soyez P.D.G., cadre, étudiant, touriste, commerçant, journaliste... et sans distinction d'âge, vous avez sans cesse recours à l'anglais. Mais cette langue que vous avez étudiée de façon académique ne vous permet pourtant pas l'accès à l'anglais courant et par conséquent de soutenir une conversation professionnelle avec aisance, de rire aux plaisanteries de vos amis américains, de comprendre Woody Allen en V.O. Adrienne vous apprend à vaincre les difficultés de sa langue natale, avec humour, dynamisme, et sans fausse pudeur. Avec The Gimmick, elle vous fait profiter de sa grande expérience de cours pour adultes (l'Express, Le Monde...). Cette nouvelle édition de sa méthode réunit en un volume, The Gimmick 1 et 2. Des centaines de milliers de Français ont déjà amélioré leur anglais grâce au Gimmick. Qu'attendez-vous ?

Download or read book Using French Vocabulary written by Jean H. Duffy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-03-11 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides a comprehensive and structured vocabulary for all levels of undergraduate French courses, including relevant higher and further education courses. It offers a broad coverage of concrete and abstract vocabulary relating to the physical, cultural, social, commercial and political environment, as well as exposure to commonly encountered technical terminology. Within each section, words and phrases have been grouped into manageable, assimilable units and broadly 'graded' according to likely usefulness and difficulty. The accompanying exercises for private study and classroom use are designed to reinforce the work done on lists, to develop good dictionary use, to encourage independent and collaborative learning, to promote precision and awareness of nuance and register, and to offer the opportunity for the development of cognate transferable skills, such as communicative competence, teamwork and problem-solving. The division of the book into twenty thematic sections allows it to be easily integrated into a modular course structure.

Download or read book Theory of the Gimmick written by Sianne Ngai and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative theory of the gimmick as an aesthetic category steeped in the anxieties of capitalism. Repulsive and yet strangely attractive, the gimmick is a form that can be found virtually everywhere in capitalism. It comes in many guises: a musical hook, a financial strategy, a striptease, a novel of ideas. Above all, acclaimed theorist Sianne Ngai argues, the gimmick strikes us both as working too little (a labor-saving trick) and as working too hard (a strained effort to get our attention). Focusing on this connection to work, Ngai draws a line from gimmicks to political economy. When we call something a gimmick, we are registering uncertainties about value bound to labor and time—misgivings that indicate broader anxieties about the measurement of wealth in capitalism. With wit and critical precision, Ngai explores the extravagantly impoverished gimmick across a range of examples: the fiction of Thomas Mann, Helen DeWitt, and Henry James; photographs by Torbjørn Rødland; the video art of Stan Douglas; the theoretical writings of Stanley Cavell and Theodor Adorno. Despite its status as cheap and compromised, the gimmick emerges as a surprisingly powerful tool in this formidable contribution to aesthetic theory.

Download or read book The Lost Continent written by Bill Bryson and published by VNR AG. This book was released on 1989 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to." And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of smiling village where the movies from his youth were set. Instead he drove through a series of horrific burgs, which he renamed Smellville, Fartville, Coleslaw, Coma, and Doldrum. At best his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by obese and slow-witted hicks with a partiality for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost: lost to itself because he found it blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a foreigner in his own country.
