a film about the private life of the first FBI director. He was
supposed to be a closeted homosexual and apart from that, accused of

dissenters and political activists.
Activivities to do:
1.- Please, find in the trailer the exact minute where Leonardo Di Caprio says: ".....bend the rules".
2.- "bend the rules" is a very common expression: Can you translate it?
3.- I´ve used the word "closeted" to explain this activity: what does it mean?
Have a nice day!

ResponderEliminarTry it again!! Take into acccount that it´s american accent, that´s why it seems difficult.
Eliminarsome corrections on your grammar:
I didn´t understand A THING. I only UNDERSTOOD some words. I´ll try to HEAR......(Be careful!, "ear" is a part of the face)
Did you try playing the Explorer?
AURORA. ¡SECOND ACTIVITY!
ResponderEliminar1- "Sometimes you needed bend the rules" minute 1:19 of trailer.
2- "Bend the rules" means "romper las reglas".
3- "closeted homosexual" means "homosexual frustado,encerrado"(que no ha salido del armario).
Hi Aurora!! well done!
EliminarA few comments on n.1. "sometimes you need to bend the rules". It was in present tense.
Good translation for "bend the rules". That´s exactly what
I´ve expected to read!!!
I saw the trailer for the film. I think the exact moment that says it is in 1 minute 20 seconds.
ResponderEliminarHi alejandro!!!!
ResponderEliminarRemember to use "watch" instead of "see" ;)
Did you try the British Museum game?
DEAR STUDENTS!!!
ResponderEliminarI´m waiting your comments on the 2nd activity!
Have you tried it??
Come on!!! Go ahead and try to beat my score!
I will ask in class the meaning of some words ;)
YOUR TEACHER
ALI
ResponderEliminarHi teacher!
I´ve found the moment in which Leonardo says that: 1:20.
A closet is a furniture in where you can keep your clothes. We says that a gay is in the closet when he hasn´t recognised that he´s gay. So "to be a closeted homosexual" means that he still hasn´t go out of the closet...
We bend the rules when we don´t follow them.
The play of the British Museum... I´ve done it so bad... When I found the goblet there were 3 minutes to the end of the play...
Good night and see you at school!!

Perfect Alice!! Well Done :) Nothing to add
ResponderEliminarSee you tomorrow!
uff, when leonardo is speaking with the other man, he says ..."bend the rules" minute 1:20.
ResponderEliminarit has been difficult¡¡¡¡¡
Well done Fátima! just a preposititon. Use "speak to" instead of "speak with"
EliminarProbably it has been difficult but you got it!!
Your teacher
bend the rules means "break" the rules; "violating" the rules.
ResponderEliminarto be a closeted homosexual means he was homosexual but nobody knew it. he had not said it or he didn´t want nobody knew.
Fatima: Great description of what a closeted homosexual is!. No grammar mistakes except on "he didn´t want nobody to KNOW" (this last verb in present tense)!!
EliminarYou´re a hard-working student :)
Your Teacher

ResponderEliminarGreat!!! :)
