Correction de l’exercice 12 : Production guidée

Exemple de réponse :

The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 56 sovereign states, home to over 2.5 billion people. Most members were once part of the British Empire, and they share the English language, similar parliaments and common values such as democracy and human rights. Although its members are very different, from India to tiny Pacific islands, they meet regularly at summits. In fifteen countries, King Charles III is head of state: he is represented by a Governor-General, but he does not govern. Every four years, athletes compete in the Commonwealth Games, also called the Friendly Games. In my opinion, the Commonwealth shows that diversity and unity can go together.

Comment progresser après ce corrigé Commonwealth

Mémorise quatre chiffres (56 membres, 2,5 milliards d’habitants, 1949, 1930) et trois mots d’institutions (realm, Governor-General, CHOGM) : ils suffisent à structurer une présentation. Entraîne-toi ensuite à opposer unité et diversité avec although et despite, puis à décrire le rôle du roi au passif. Une minute d’oral chronométrée t’aidera à fixer le tout.
