The speaker discusses their solution to the second part of an English exam. They chose a quote by David McCullough and analyzed its meaning. They explain that history shapes who we are and why we are the way we are. They give examples such as the end of slavery and the invention of the telephone. The speaker also mentions their research on the quote's origin. The feedback on their exam performance suggests they need to develop their arguments more and make clearer connections between the theme and the play. Overall, the feedback is encouraging. Hello, my name is Akhebna Jouda. This is the solution to the second part of the English exam 2. I chose the following quote. History is who we are and why we say we are. Because I found that it makes you want to understand it because of the spaces between words. So, it seems easier than the other quotes. And I heard this quote a lot of times, but I have never tried to understand it. So, for this reason, I read and reread it several times. Also, I did research to better understand where it comes from. So, it is a quote written by David McCullough in 1933. He is an American writer. So, firstly, when he says history is who we are, he means that history has built us in a way, and it is thanks to history that we are what we are now when we are there. So, likewise, if there weren't the end of slavery in 1848, Afro-Americans would still be treated like monkeys and would still suffer. Also, the creation of the very first telephone in 1876 by the American Alexander Graham Bell has influenced us and thanks to his invention, we can do many things, like, for example, research and what happened centuries ago. Moving on to the second part of the quote, which says history is why we are the way we are. So, I have broadened my thoughts and therefore, for me, perhaps, this part refers to the people before who also wore wigs, who spoke languages very well, unlike today. So, we used a lot of words that don't exist nowadays. To conclude, if we think about it carefully, so, history has challenged us, but not only in a bad way, but also in a good one. Thank you. This is a copy of Axis Blur Elouda. It's a very encouraging copy. In terms of oral comprehension, we are on a level of B or less. It's quite encouraging. Be careful of the nature of the place, which is not really well identified. It is useless to specify a problem. See, here, there are two. It wasn't asked for. As for the documents, the themes are rather well identified in terms of Macbeth. The themes as well. The author, Shakespeare, is mentioned. The characters as well. Lady Macbeth and her husband. The main themes of the play are mentioned, in terms of violence, murders, etc. The summary of the plot is quite simple, but correct in itself and understandable. The historical facts seem to be well understood. The dates are mentioned. The places as well. Which is very satisfying. The link between the context and the play is partially established, but the implicit remains to be narrowed down and further analysed. Again, the conclusion is correct, but still a little off to the right. And we can see that you probably didn't finish your production, since you end with, and again, three little dots. As for the oral expression, it's a little more fragile. The production is understandable and generally correct, but the arguments remain quite simple and summary. You really need to analyse and develop your arguments more. First of all, start with the introduction. Make the link with the theme, territory and memory, which is the main subject of the play. It's useless to specify what your research is, and how you established links with the quotation and the author. You really need to go straight to the heart of the matter and develop your arguments. We also see that you do a lot of paraphrasing and that you repeat your words a little. The goal here is really to deepen the analysis of the quotation and make links between the history of Scotland, the author David McCullough, the history of the independence of Scotland, the link between the author and his Scottish heritage, as well as his genealogy. It may refer to ancestors of his family, etc. The language is generally understandable, despite the hesitations. Some of them, we can highlight them. And also the influence of the mother tongue, which is a little felt, but everything is generally correct and understandable. The conclusion is quite summary. I advise you to remember what the heritage is for, the Scottish heritage, and really make the link, insist on it, because it is the main subject. But everything still remains encouraging.
