On a tous des émotions, mais certaines en sont moins agré
ables que d’autres!
De temps en temps, on a peur, ou bien, on est malheureux ou triste. Mais le pire, c’est lorsqu’on perd son sang froid!
L’émotion la plus difficile à surmonter, c’est la colère. Et c’est encore plus gênant lorsqu’on se fâche devant les autres.
Mais imaginez-vous devant de millions de spectateurs! Regardez ce qui se passe pendant la COUPE DU MONDE 2006 lorsque Zidane Perd son Sang Froid.
Ce geste de Zidane a été plus mémorable que les resultats même du match! Le pauvre Zidane est devenu le sujet de beaucoup de commentaires et de blagues pendant quelques mois après. Regardez!
Speaking of Gestes, Let’s learn some! The following is a 20 minute video, so we’ll probably just watch the first five minutes in class.
1) In General, the French as well as most Zidane Fans world-wide felt that Zidane was justified in head-butting the Italian player. They forgave him for getting kicked out of the game and essentially losing the world cup to Italy. Do you think Americans would be as forgiving? (For example, say there was a world BASKET BALL tournament, and Dirk Nowitzki played the role of Zinedine.)
2) Tell us, en FRANCAIS, what you are like quand tu perds ton sang froid. Comment es-tu? Est-ce que tu cries? Est-ce que tu dis des gros mots? Est-ce que tu pleures? Est-ce que tu lances des objets? Ou bien, est-ce que tu gardes tout à l’interieur?
3) Pick two of the gestes, and try to figure out, based on the words and the body language, the general meaning of that geste.

1. Americans are definately not as forgiving. We would be so mad if Dirk blew up and lost it for us.
2. Je suis ne heureuse pas! Je perd me sang froid quand ma soeur est aussi.
3. avoir ras le bol- over my head
Super! – awesome.
plus or moins- more or less
001. I think Americans would definately be upset and I feel that they would blow everything way out of porportion. The story would be on the front page of every newspaper and magazine, on every tv and radio show, and the athlete would be dropped by all of his sponsors. Unfortunately, like every other negative story in America, we would hear about it for months. Ugh, why can’t we just let things go?! haha.
002. Quand je perd mon sang froid, je pleaure et crie de temps en temps =(
3) I think the third gesture indicates that someone is really mad and I think the eighth gesture is indicating that he likes whatever he is seeing.
1. No I do think Americans will be forgiving because if it was a chapionship game then the american fans will proberly hate that player for a while and some americans may hold a grudge with that player for a long time.
For example, here is the link about the big Ron Artest basketball fight with Ben Wallace at the pacers vs. pistons game.
2. Quand je est froid je est-ce que tu dis des fros mots et est-ce qutu cries.
3. Super- ok and c’etait parfait- ok
1)Americans can be forgiving but it takes a while. We are very focused in winning and always coming out on top. If it was a huge important game, i believe it would be hard to forgive dirk till a few days later.
2)Quand je perd mon sang froid, je crie un peu et je ferme la porte fort.
3)Avoir les boules- means have balls, so have guts.
c’etait parfait-means it is perfect.
1. Heck no we would be so critical. He would be the blame of our lost and people would be angry for a long time.
2. Quand j’ai sang froid, je cries, mais de temps en temps je pleures.
3.C’etait perfait it’s perfect, Zéro zero
1) No I think that they wouldnt they would be critizing him forever.
2)Elle est sang-froid quand sa copain est mentent to moi. Je cries et dis des gros beacoup mets.
3)pas mal- not bad,expique-explain
I
1.] No, I don’t think Americans would be as forgiving, because as a country, we are very competitive, & believe winning is the most important thing. I think we’d all talk about it, how mad we are that we lost, but how hilarious it was that the other guy got what he deserved, then eventually it would fade away.
2.] Je cries, et je dis des gros mots de temps en temps. D’autres fois, je gardes tout à l’interieur.
3.] I think the first gesture, “oh la barbe!” might mean cut it out. The third one, “les doigts me démangent!” might mean evil, or something along those lines.
1) of course americans wouldn’t be so forgiving. dirk would’ve been skinned alive for pulling a stunt like that.
2) Quand je perd mon sang froid, je dis des gros mots et je lance des objets.
3) i think “oh la barbe” means to cut it out. it seems like “avoir les boules” means to throw up (or is that just me???) and c’était parfait, obviously, means it’s perfect.
si zizou est alle jusque a ce point ce peut etre par ce que ce gars a du dire de betise sure lui.
1. I think America would be less forgiving. Most would feel that one person let the whole team down and that it was selfish to not control his emotions.
2. Je souvent garde tout à l’interieur. Je jamais lance des objets quand je perd mon sang froid.
3. Oh la barb…I think this meant “get a haircut”, it looked funny. And pas question, “no question.”
