Exemple de consigne

Chaque étape ci-dessous reprend la même consigne afin que vous puissiez suivre un seul scénario à travers l’ensemble du modèle.

Prompt: Look at the picture (same as Task 3) of a farmers’ market. Predict what will happen next.

Étape 1 : ouverture. Récapituler brièvement et introduire les prédictions

Objectif : Faites brièvement référence à la scène décrite dans la Task 3, puis indiquez que vous allez maintenant formuler des prédictions. Environ dix à quinze secondes.

Astuce grammaticale : Present Continuous vs Present Simple pour référencer la scène

Le modèle

• Référence à la scène : Looking at this picture, I can see [brief recap of the key situation].
• Transition vers les prédictions : Based on what’s happening, I think several things will happen next.

Exemple : Looking at this picture, I can see a busy farmers’ market with a woman selecting tomatoes, an elderly man selling bread, and children running around. It looks like a popular weekend morning market. Based on what I see, I think several things will happen next.

Étape 2 : prédictions principales. Ce qui va se passer ensuite

Objectif : Formulez trois prédictions précises sur ce qui va se passer, en variant les formes du futur. C’est la partie principale : environ 35 à 40 secondes.

Astuce grammaticale : la hiérarchie des formes du futur

Montrez l’étendue de votre grammaire en utilisant une structure différente pour chaque prédiction :

Astuce grammaticale : First Conditional pour des prédictions de cause à effet

Formule : If + Present Simple, … will / might / should + Base Verb

Utilisez cette structure pour expliquer pourquoi vous pensez que quelque chose va se produire :

Exemples :

• If the weather stays warm, more shoppers will arrive later in the morning.
• If the children keep running around, they might knock over a display.
• If the vendors sell out quickly, they will probably pack up early.

Le modèle

• Prédiction 1 (certaine) : I believe that [person] will [action]. [Reason/evidence from the picture].
• Prédiction 2 (probable) : [Person] is probably going to [action] because [reason].
• Prédiction 3 (possible) : [Person] might also [action]. If [condition], [result].

Exemple : First of all, I believe the woman in the straw hat will buy a large bag of fresh tomatoes. Since she is carefully selecting them from the crate, she is probably going to choose the ripest ones and fill her canvas bag with them.

Secondly, the market is likely to become even more crowded as the morning goes on, because it seems to be a very popular event. If more people arrive, the vendors will probably sell out of their most popular items, like the fresh bread and baguettes.

Finally, the two children running between the stalls might get hungry soon. If they stop running around, they may ask their parents to buy them something to eat from one of the food stalls.

Étape 3 : conclusion. Réflexion finale ou prédiction d’ensemble

Objectif : Concluez par une prédiction générale sur le dénouement. Environ cinq à dix secondes.

Astuce grammaticale : Future Perfect pour projeter un résultat accompli

Formule : Subject + will have + Past Participle (V3)

Utilisez cette structure pour prédire ce qui sera achevé à un moment donné :

Exemples :

• By the end of the morning, the vendors will have sold most of their fresh produce.
• By noon, every customer will have found something to take home.
• By the time the market closes, the musician will have entertained the entire crowd.

Le modèle

• Résultat global : Overall, I think [person] will [final outcome].
• Future Perfect (facultatif) : By [time], they will have [completed action].
• Note positive : [Optimistic closing thought].

Exemple : Overall, I think this farmers’ market will have a very successful day. By the end of the morning, the vendors will have sold most of their fresh produce and everyone will have enjoyed a wonderful weekend outing.
