Listening Comprehension 2
Sports Marketing & Promotion Ideas
Pour votre examen final vous allez rédiger un texte faisant la promotion d’un évènement dans la structure (nouveau cours, travaux de rénovation, rachat par une franchise, stages pendant les vacances, soirée promotionnelle pour attirer de nouveaux clients, etc.)
Lisez l’exemple ci-dessous et regardez la vidéo. Répondez aux questions et soyez prêt-es à partager vos réponses.
Sports Marketing Campaigns, one example:
The best sports marketing campaigns use imagery to connect emotionally with the audience and a clear message that gets to the heart of the event. The results are campaigns that go viral, spreading like wildfire across the web. Here is one example:
This Girl Can by Sport England
The English Sports Council created the This Girl Can campaign as a way to tackle health issues like obesity through athletics.
They found more men took part in athletic activity than women, mainly due to women’s fear of people judging their image.
This Girl Can featured everyday women doing their fitness routines. And the goal was to motivate other women by example.
As a result, the original video has over 8 million views, with a hashtag that’s still going today. More importantly, it got many more women into sports to improve their health.
Comprehension Questions:
1. Why do less women take part in physical activities?
2. What did the This Girl Can video show?
3. How could this motivate women?

10 English Pronunciation Errors by French Speakers
If your mother tongue is French, you may find certain sounds in English more difficult than others.
Here we present to you some of the common errors made by French-speaking students:
1. /r/ & silent ‘r’ French ‘r’ is a voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/, made at the back of the mouth,
English /r/ is an alveolar approximant made near the front of the mouth – not to be confused:
right red lorry great Red lorry yellow lorry
French speakers tend to say each written ‘r’, but in UK English you don’t pronounce an ‘r’ if it is before a consonant:
Four thirty in the afternoon. Are you ready to iron the armchair cover?
2. Vowel rounding Many French centre and front vowels use rounded lips, whereas in English
they would be made with neutral lips – the sound is very different:
The first thing I heard was a scream.
3. th French does not contain dental fricatives θ or ð, speakers often replace these with /s/ and /z/:
We’ll see them on Thursday, I think. Theo supported Arthur through thick and thin.
There are two sounds for the Th. There is either a smooth sound or a popped sound.
Both are made from the basic TH position: the tongue is slightly between the teeth in a
relaxed position.
The smooth sound of TH is only used with common words. Begin by using this list:
that this there then those these though other rather mother father they
their
Most words that begin with Th are pronounced with the more known popped sound.
The tongue is between the teeth and the sound pops out as the tongue is pulled
backward.
think thistle thought thank you thin thick thrust thermometer theory
4. h The glottal fricative /h/ does not exist in French, it does in English:
house home holiday Harry
5. /ɪ/ vs. /i:/ French has just one close front vowel [i], English has two: /ɪ/ and /i:/ – /ɪ/ should
be made with a slightly lower jaw, but French speakers often just use the one
position for these vowels:
ship / sheep fit / feet rid / read hill/ heel ill / eel
6. Word Stress French tends to stress the last syllable of a long word, English does not:
father corruption absolutely computer information
7. Intonation French has a very unique melody – it is often flat and high with rising patterns.
English is generally uses falling patterns more and has a greater difference in stress:
17
Where do you think we should go? (various possible stresses can change the
meaning) I don’t see how it is that important.
8. Open vowels /æ/ vs /ɑ:/ French contains one open vowel unrounded: [a], English contains
2: /æ/ (cat) /ɑ:/ (cart) so French often use the French [a] instead:
hat heart ham harm had hard
9. Diphthong ‘o’ French does not use diphthong (double) vowel sounds, so they often come out a bit flat:
Don’t go to the show. Peter ate all our wholemeal rolls
10. Affricate Consonant /dʒ/ French speakers often miss the beginning plosive sound in English affricates:
/dʒ/: James general job agent
18
A few difficult words to pronounce for French speakers of English.
Thorough and Through The ‘th’ sound doesn’t exist in French, and how could you know that
“fuh-ruh” and “froo” “ough” is pronounced differently in both words!
Beach “beech” not bitch!
Hedgehog “hedge-hog” Actually pronounced as written, but still a bit of a mouthful for French speakers!
Jewellery “jool-ry” Is a tricky one with the confusing ‘w’ and extra ‘e’ to confuse French speakers.
Squirrel “sque-rul” A word that is notoriously difficult for French speakers to say
Rural “roar-rul” Another English word that is not pronounced anything like it’s written…
Clothes “clo-f-s” Such a simple word, but French speakers struggle with the ‘th’ in the middle of the
word, along with the ‘es’ and often pronounce it more like “clos-is”.
Crisps “k-risp-s” Yes this isn’t easy for French speakers to wrap their tongues round either. It must be
something to do with the ‘ps” sound at the end.
Angry and hungry These words are easily mixed up but as long as you pronounce the ‘h’ in
“ang-ree” “hung-ree” hungry, you should make yourself clear which emotion you are referring to.
Work and walk Again, two simple words that are often confused because of a very similar
“wer-k” qnd “worl-k” pronunciation. ‘walk’ is almost pronounced as ‘work’ looks like it should be!
the Short E Sound PRACTICE READING Measurements for the House
When my husband and I bought our new house, we took measurements of every room. Again and again, we
measured the rooms to make sure we would not have problems with any furniture. I held one end of the measuring
tape and my husband held the other. Sometimes we would measure to the center of the room, then the other half.
It was interesting because I never knew how large square footage really was. Soon we were ready to bring our
furniture sets. Luckily, my husband and I had several special sets, different from each other. For example, I had a
living room set and he had a bedroom set. We tested each large piece of furniture in one or two rooms, then let the
movers head home. We had to change a few things ourselves, but overall, our move went very well. We now have a
small, yellow house with plenty of furniture.
* Many E sounds reduce-- every = evree; interest = intrest; several = sevrul.
Long A and short E sounds: Long A and Short E are similar. Both are made with the mouth in a somewhat
rectangular shape. With long A, the lips are wide and with Short E, the lips are relaxed. Long A is actually longer than
Short E as well. We hold the Long A sound a bit, and we say the Short E sound quickly.
Age / edge bade / bed raid / red bail / bell tail / tell sail / sell fail / fell
Whale / well main / men pain / pen baste / best taste / test waste / west bait / bet

PRACTICE: Try saying the nonsense phrases below to your partner. They can remove points for
each mis- pronunciation. (Start with 10 points, and take it it turns to say each phrase.)
The sheep that lives on a ship heats beans, eats them and leaves.
I hate his art with all my heart. The eyes are too high, and he is too old to hold a brush.
I close my eyes, breathe in the breeze, remove my clothes and bathe in the bays. My thoughts stop whizzing
through my brain, and then I am “zen”.
Can I have my bag back? I want to pick a pig and lock the dog to a log. The duck dug a hole in the
dock. I’ll tell you a tale of a saint sent West. He had a pain in this chest, as he chased his pen.
I think I saw the thin thumb thaw in the sink. Thank God it sank!
When I wake, I walk, and poke the pork with my toe. I mow the low lawn more now; it’s the law.
I was bored and bought a plate and played with it on my bed. I bet you heard that my hard heart hurt.
My drunk uncle drank so much before the match the cat cut his ankle and ran away. “Run” cried my funny fat
aunt. I thought you taught that they threw the three thin trees into a tin tank.
The sheep chose cheap shoes. Did you catch the match? I paid cash to watch them eat
mash. Only a fool would pull a bull into a full pool at school.
Is Julie jealous of James’ jokes?
20
Long and short vowel sounds
Short vowels
The most common sound for each vowel is its “short” sound:
• ă, pronounced /æ/ as in apple, pan, or mat,
• ĭ, pronounced /ɪ/ as in insect, pin, or mitt,
• ĕ, pronounced /ɛ/ as in elephant, pen, or met,
• ŏ, pronounced /ɒ/ as in octopus, ostrich, upon, or motto,
• ŭ, pronounced /ʌ/ as in umbrella, pun, or mutt.
When syllables end in a vowel and then consonant (as in the examples above), the vowel is usually short. If
there is more than one consonant, the vowel is almost always short.
This becomes important as a way to keep the same vowel sound when adding -ed to put a verb into the
past tense. We often double an ending consonant to keep a short vowel short. For example, the past tense
of 'stop' is 'stopped.' Otherwise the silent 'e' rule below (which also applies when followed by 'd') would
give it a long 'o' sound like soap or hope.
See the Simple Past Tense explanation of spelling changes.
Long vowels
The alphabet sounds (when the vowel “says its name”) are called “long vowels.” Long A (ā),
pronounced /eɪ/ as in late or mate,
• Long E (ē), pronounced /iː/ as in eat or meat (or meet or mete-- all
pronounced the same),
• Long I (ī), pronounced /aɪ/ as in mite or might,
• Long O (ō), pronounced /oʊ/ as in oats, mote or moat, and
• Long U (ū), pronounced /juː/ in mute.
Silent ‘E’ Rule: When a vowel and consonant are followed by an ‘e’, the ‘e’ is almost always silent, but it
causes the preceding vowel to be long. (Examples: ate, plane, Pete, bite, nine, rope, note, cube, flute.)
Other Long Vowels: A vowel at the end of a syllable is almost always long. Examples: I, we, he, she, go,
try, potato and tomato. (Some English speakers use a short ‘a’ in the 2nd syllable, while others use a long
‘a,’ but both ‘o’s are long for everyone.)
-Igh and -ight are usually long I (and silent GH): bright, fight, high, light, might, night, right, sigh, sight,
tight.
Often the first letter of the vowel combinations, especially ‘ai’, ‘ay’, ‘ea’, ‘ee’, & ‘oa,’ will be long & the
second will be silent. (An old rhyme for children says “when 2 vowels go walking, the first does the
talking.”) So ’plain’ sounds just like ‘plane,' ‘meat’ and ‘meet’ like ‘mete,’ etc.
