BERLIN/KaDeWe

Hier seht ihr zuerst das Bundeskanzleramt.

Auch von mir zu Berlin:http://www.langedi49.ch/langedi49/exercises_D_2.html

Vielleicht wollt ihr zuerst einige Fragen zu Berlin beantworten.

NUN ZUM KaDeWe -KAUFHAUS DES WESTENS

Da wir uns momentan in unserern Deutschtstunden über Berlin und das Einkaufen unterhalten,

habe ich nach einem Video gesucht, das uns einen Einblick in das zweitgrösste Kaufhaus Europas,

das KaDeWe, gibt.

Ich fand dieses Video von Nico sehr lustig auch, wenn ich bei weitem nicht alles verstehe. Nico

möchte auf jeden Fall ein Experiment machen. In der 6. Etage des Kaufhauses gibt es eine Art

Luxussupermarkt und dort oben möchte Nico satt werden, ohne einen Cent zu bezahlen und dies

ungeachtet, ob er den Verkäufer/innen auf die Nerven geht. Seht selbst, ob Nico sein Ziel erreicht.

Ich habe auch ein Arbeitsblatt entwickelt und bitte euch, wie folgt vorzugehen.

Lake Ritom/Ticino

From Piotta, in the Leventina Valley in Ticino Switzerland to the Ritom region by the steepest funicular in Europe

It’s really a very special attraction to go up to the Ritom Lake and its uncontaminated and isolated places in the Val Piora

by one of the steepest funiculars worldwide. (Click here to listen to the sentence. Which word is spoken in German?RITOM1

Once up there you have a great choice of excursions or hiking tours. We, for example, just walked around the lake in approximately three hours, picknick inluded.

(Click here to listen to the sentence and say which word is spoken in German? RITOM2)

The other day there was very little water in the lake so that there were sandy beaches I had never seen before. The surrounding was breathtakingly beautiful

thanks to a big variety of flowers, orchids included. (Click here to listen to the sentence and say which word is spoken in German?RITOM3)

VERBS FOLLOWED BY -ING/THAT +INFINITVE

As I’m quite sure that you are yearning to study some grammar, I ‘ve decided to write sentences with

-a)verbs followed by –ing and noun;

-b)verbs followed by –ing or noun or a that-clause;

-c) verbs followed by –ing or infinitive;

-d)verbs followed by the infinitve

Worksheet: Verbs followed by ing+infintiv/that with animals

I’ve therefore developed the following worksheet which I printed and distributed  to my learners.

I’ve  also printed  a sheet in colour and  cut out the sentences as well as the pictures indicated here below and  put them on a pile.

Now I made my students, one after the other, pick up a card and they had to put  them on the right place on the worksheet. While arranging the cards we als made questions

and negative sentences in order to remember the verbs and their construction better and I also made them explain the differences betwen, for example, I forgot buying the milk

(past situation) or don’t forget to buy the milk (futur action).

I’m afraid that those people who are trying to improve their English will have to study these kinds of contructions!!

The seven wonders of the world/SIEBEN WELTWUNDER

DEUTSCH: Siehe unten

Which of these sights (1.Cheops Pyramide, 2.Chinese Wall or 3. Ephesus, one of the biggest and most important ancient Greek cities near Izmir, which belongs now

to Turkey, and the rests of the Arthemise Temple,4. Petra, the great city built by the Nabateans or 5.the Colosseum in Rome) do not belong to the seven ancient

wonders of the world?

This is a very interesting quiz about the seven  ancient world wonders and will give you the answers to the above question:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sunken/wonders/

Can you think of any modern world wonders?

Auf Deutsch gibt es auf der folgenden Webseite sehr interessante Informationen zu den 7 antiken Weltwundern.http://www.weltwunder-online.de/antike/pyramiden.htm.

Eigentlich wäre das Ischtar-Tor, zur Befestigungsmauer der Stadt Babylon gehörend, das man nun im Pargamon Museum in Berlin bewundern kann, das achte Weltwunder.

Da die Mauer aber zerstört wurde, strich man dieses Weltwunder von der Liste und nahm den Leuchtturm von Alexandria auf. Das Tor  und die endgültige Form der

Prozessionsstrasse wurde übrigens von Nebukadnezar II (605-562 v. Chr.) errichtet. Babylon war die Hauptstadt Babylonniens, im heutigen Zentral-Irak.

Wenn ihr nach Berlin geht, empfehle ich euch den Besuch dieses Museums von ganzem Herzen.

Hier noch ein Link zu den Fotos dieses Wunderwerks:http://www.google.com/images?hl=de&q=Ischtar+Tor+Babylon&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=6gXZTLiGDo6gOuWr-acJ&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCYQsAQwAA&biw=1413&bih=719

Das Ischtar-Tor ist nach der gleichnamigen Hauptgöttin von Babylon benannt. Es scheint auch möglich zu sein, dass  es sich bei der ägyptischen Göttin ISIS um Ischtar handelt.

Ischtar galt als Göttin der Liebe, des Krieges, des Friedens und der Fruchtbarkeit.Sie gibt auch dem Planeten Ischtar= Venus den Namen.

Nun einige Fragen zum Ischtar-Tor:

-In welcher Farbe  ist es?

-Was bedeutet die Farbe BLAU?

-Welche Fabeltiere gibt es auf den blau glasierten Ziegeln zu sehen?

-In welchen nordischen Mythen spricht man von einer BLAUEN INSEL?

Zu den Antworten:BLAU/die Farbe BLAU entspricht dem Norden/der heilige Löwe, der Stier, der Drachen/Atlantis

Übrigens, der Löwe steht für kriegerische Stärke, der Drache für Ehrfurcht/Furcht und der Stier für Fruchtbarkeit.

Die 4 Jahreszeiten/Power Point

Das ist ein Quiz zu den 4 Jahreszeiten. Es gibt dazu viele Fotos und ich hoffe, dass es euch Freude macht.

A Horse With No Name

This is one of America’s greatest hits and was writen in 1971. Is it a spiritual song or is it about drugs? It seems that “horse” used to be the streetname for heroin and because of this question there was a controversy in America. For me, Dewey Bunell’s “A Horse With No Name” is more spiritual. He is in the desert, methaphorically this means, that there is an empitness within him but then he is looking around and is slowly discovering the beauty of the world with all its life and meaning. Despite this, however, he realizes that even when you have freedom and life/meaning there are some more profound things and that there is no perfection.

As a child Bunnell spent a good time poking around in the high deserts with his brother when they lived in Vandenberg/California and drove through Mexico and Arizona. He loved the cactus and the heat and tried to catch the sounds of the desert.

The text is easy- also for beginners- and grammatically not too perfect (ain’t), but there is quite a lot to speak about!
