Correction de l’exercice 10 : Production guidée

Exemple de réponse :

In a parliamentary monarchy, the sovereign is head of state but real power lies with Parliament and the government. Supporters of the Crown argue that the monarch is a symbol of continuity above party politics: when Elizabeth II died in 2022, after seventy years on the throne, millions of people from all backgrounds mourned together. The monarchy is also a remarkable tool of soft power. Royal weddings and the coronation of Charles III were watched all over the world, and royal palaces attract huge numbers of tourists. However, republicans point out that an unelected head of state is hard to justify in a modern democracy, and that the royal family costs taxpayers a great deal of money. All in all, the monarchy remains an asset as long as it stays popular and modest; its future depends less on tradition than on its ability to adapt.

Comment progresser après ce corrigé

Faites une fiche avec les trios piégeux politician, politics, policy et MP, deputy, peer. Revoyez la voix passive, très utile pour décrire des institutions (is elected, is appointed). Enfin, retenez un chiffre clé : 650 députés aux Communes, et une date : 1922 pour la BBC.
