Bagage anglais indispensable du niveau baccalauréat

Un bon plan pour vos rédactions en anglais: connaitre tous les mots montrés en jaune!

Woman, without her man, is nothing.

Woman! Without her, man is nothing.

La femme sans homme n'est rien.

La femme! Sans elle, l'homme n'est rien.

Anglais, langue universelle? Loin de là! Il y a aussi l'espagnol, l'hindi-urdu, l'arabe, le chinois … Recrudescence de ces langues avec la prospérité des BRIC (Brésil, Russie, Inde et Chine). Le monde anglophone reconnaît qu'il devrait désormais s'intéresser aux autres langues pour favoriser l'accès aux informations des autres cultures.

La part des publications Internet en anglais est passée

de 80% en l'an 2000 à 30% seulement en 2012.

Baccalauréat 2015 - Anglais

Deux éléments de question ont fait sécher de nombreux candidats de terminale:

What are three of his concerns about the situation (trois préoccupations) ?

How is Turner coping with the situation (gérer, affronter)?

Une pétition demandant le retrait de ces deux questions a été immédiatement mise en route sur Internet au motif que ces mots n'avaient pas été appris en classe.

Ces mots figurent dans le présent lexique du vocabulaire de base de la description au sens le plus général.

Un peu d'anglais … et ses tournures

How do you feel about mathematics? Have you ever found math to be fun or meaningful to your life? Are you ever confused, frustrated or intimidated by math? How do you feel about the way your school teaches math? Is it engaging or motivating? Does it make sense to you? What do you think would be the best way to learn math and why?

Que pensez-vous des mathématiques? Avez-vous déjà trouvé que les mathématiques étaient amusantes ou avaient un sens dans votre vie? Êtes-vous parfois dérouté, frustré ou intimidé par les mathématiques? Que pensez-vous de la façon dont votre école enseigne les mathématiques? Est-ce attrayant ou motivant? Est-ce que cela semble sensé pour vous? Selon vous, quel serait le meilleur moyen d'apprendre les mathématiques et pourquoi?

EXPRESSIONS ANGLAISES

Utiles à savoir, essentiellement dans le milieu

des affaires, de l'économie et du management,

donc à savoir dès la terminale.

Le vocabulaire spécifique à une profession est appris "sur le tas" lorsqu'on exerce un métier. Tout le monde n'a pas besoin de savoir comment se dit "pont roulant" (gantry crane, bridge crane …). Par contre, le vocabulaire pour décrire sa composition, son fonctionnement ou son but est commun à toutes les disciplines.

Cette page liste le vocabulaire anglais pour parler:

de description au sens général,

de technique,

des affaires,

de management,

etc.

Ce glossaire a été rédigé pour la première fois en 1975, suite à mes premières rencontres avec Anglais et Américains, et il a été enrichi au cours de ma carrière de manager exercée dans de nombreux pays de langue anglaise ou parlant anglais (Royaume-Uni, États-Unis, Australie, Inde, Corée du sud et de nombreux pays européens dont Allemagne, Suède, Espagne, Italie…) Cette liste n'est pas académique et comporte sans doute des lacunes et des erreurs qui ne sont que de mon fait. Mon but consiste simplement à montrer quel est le vocabulaire de base utilisé en business. Il s'agit du bagage minimum indispensable. Ce bagage s'avère également très utile pour rédiger des copies au baccalauréat, comme le montre la mésaventure de 2015

Différence de culture !

Avec des lecteurs américains, mieux vaut commencer par montrer que le sujet que vous traiter est suffisamment construit et intéressant pour mériter du temps et de la peine. Pour un public français, vous montrerez que l’auteur fait preuve d'une maitrise du sujet et d'une hauteur de vue suffisante.

Exemple vécu (1988): deux équipes d'ingénieurs s'invectivaient de part et d'autre de l'Atlantique. Mon homologue américain et moi décidons de faire un point hebdomadaire. Nous découvrons que les Américains attendaient des documents construits même sans matière; alors que les Français envoyaient des documents techniquement parfaits mais avec une présentation brouillonne. Les uns se focalisaient sur le contenu et les autres sur le contenant.

Pour commencer un document, les Américains élaborent un STORY BOARD: un plan complété par une idée très grossière du contenu des chapitres. Ensuite, ils y introduisent l'intelligence (TO FLESH OUT: introduire la viande!)
