Sorry for the delay in updating the blog. The rentrée is always busy. Here are a few interesting articles from the English classes recently.
Isn't democracy a great thing? Not for this unfortunate sheep. From the Telegraph.
Want to win the lottery? Try Bulgaria where the same set of numbers came up two weeks running, the chances of that happening are several million to one
The island of Bermeja has gone missing. Which is a pity because its territorial waters could be worth billions to Mexico. Did the CIA blow it up? Sounds fishy. From the Times
One man in Wales claims he suffered discrimination at his work by being prevented from wearing a hood which is central to his faith - he's a jedi. From the Guardian

English Idioms from Cricket
Cricket is a popular bat and ball game played mainly in England and countries that were formerly in the British Empire such as India, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa and Caribbean countries that form "The West Indies" team. A game of cricket can last up to 5 days so don't go and watch it if you're in a hurry. However, there are also 1 day versions of the game (though these are frowned upon by purists).
Do NOT confuse cricket with croquet (Lord! how many times have I heard that happen). Just to be sure here is a video of highlights of a cricket game.
Cricket has also left its mark on the language here are 5 common English phrases originating from the game of cricket.
1. To bowl over
meaning: To be astonished, greatly surprised and excited, left speechless.
Example: I saw U2 live in concert last month and I was bowled over by their performance.
meaning in cricket: You bowl (throw) the ball at the wicket (sticks) if you hit them the batsman must leave the field.
2. To hit for six
Meaning: To be deeply shocked or hurt (by someone/thing)
Example: When my wife left me it really hit me for six.
Meaning in cricket: To hit the ball over the boundary without it bouncing on the ground (which gets six runs (points).
3. A sticky wicket
Meaning: A difficult situation
Example: "We only have 20 pounds to last us 'til the end of the month",
"Yes, it's a sticky wicket".
Meaning in cricket: The wicket area (ground in fround of the stumps) has become sticky due to rain making in difficult to play on.
4. It's not cricket
Meaning: to play unfairly or against the rules of fair play (cricket has a reputation as a gentlemen's game played by honest people).
Example: "In order to get the job he lied about his experience and criticised the other candidates,"
"Yes, it's not cricket"
5. To stump (to be stumped)
Meaning: to have no idea, to be confronted by a problem you can't find the solution to.
Example: The exam was going well until they asked me a question about the Russian Revolution and I was completely stumped.
Meaning in cricket: To remove the bails in a game meaning the batsman is out (has to leave the game).

The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square
In London's Trafalgar square there are 3 statues a fourth statue was intended on the site but was never completed. The plinth however still remains. This is the famous "fourth plinth". Since 1999 a series of temporary works have occupied the plinth. From July to October 2009 a remarkable now work by Anthony Gormley.
For 100 days 2400 people will occupy the plinth for one hour. It's part of a living artwork. Anthony Gormley himself describes the artwork in this video

What is English Food?
This is one of the most common questions I get asked in Paris (or indeed anywhere).
Of course you can treat your self to great English delicacies like Marmite.
Or squirrel flavour crisps.
Perhaps you'd prefer an English breakfast.
(photo by Francisco Antunes on flickr)
But did you know that what Britain's national dish is? Fish and chips? Steak and Kidney pie? You might be surprised to learn that it is (according to a survey in 2000) Chicken Tikka Massala A dish invented in Glasgow in the 1960s using a mix of Indian spices.
At the recent G20 summit in London Chef Jamie Oliver provided a menu for the visiting dignatiries made from all British ingredients (except soda bread which is Irish) Full story here - Jamie Oliver's G20 menu
The most surprising thing about the G20 dinner was the choice of drink - London tap water.

Ivan has organised another amazing LetThemTalk soirée this Saturday night (you should have received his email). It'll take place in the Oberkampf neighbourhood of Paris.
This is also the last chance to bid farewell to 2 participants of the English courses

See you on Saturday!

Common mistakes in English by the French
I regurlarly receive emails from students that are sometimes confusing. Here are a few examples of mistakes in English often made by French learners.
1. "Next Saturday". Today is Wednesday 18th so when is next Saturday? The answer is Saturday the 28th. Saturday 21st would normally be referred to as this Saturday.
2. There are only 7 days in a week. To my knowledge, there is no such day as "Thuesday". Perhaps you mean Tuesday or Thursday? Almost every week I get a Thuesday reservation and have to write back for more information.
3. Further to point 2 the days of the week in English have capital letters. So it's Tuesday and not tuesday so do months and adjectives of countries.
4. We do not use "normally" to talk about future events. Normally has a similar meaning to usually. So do not say "normally I will be there next Wednesday". Say "I should be able to be there next Wednesday"
5. Similarly we do not use "could" to talk able future ability. Do not say "I don't think I could come tomorrow" do say "I think I will be able to come tomorrow".
6. The word assist in English is not the same as assister in French. They are false friends. Do not say "I will assist at the class". Do say "I wil attend the class". The English word "assist means to help.
7. The preposition "to" is used to talk about going to destinations. Do say "next week I will go to London" (not in London).
There are many, many more such cases but that's the end of today's lesson.

Some Chinese Proverbs
Here are a few Chinese proverbs that I paticularly like.
You don’t climb a tree to catch a fish
Those who do not study are only cattle dressed up in men's clothes.
To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.
A cloth is not woven from a single thread.
A fall into a ditch makes you wiser.
A hasty man drinks his tea with a fork.
An ignorant doctor is no better than a murderer.
Behind an able man there are always other able men.
Do not employ handsome servants.
Do not insult the crocodile until you've crossed the river.
When embarking on a journey of revenge dig two graves.
If you want an audience, start a fight.
