Nous venons en aide aux lyc\u00e9ens qui passent l’\u00e9preuve d’anglais dans quelques jours. Voici une liste d’expressions utiles pour argumenter et structurer votre examen \u00e9crit… Good luck!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the Gymglish blog, your one-stop blog for all things good and English. This post is dedicated to our younger readers out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that<\/strong> there\u2019s a big English exam taking place this week in France – something called the Baccalaureat. Although<\/strong> we at The Gymglish blog<\/em> have never had any formal education (we were raised mainly by otters and comic books), we want to help those of you who desperately need to pass this test in order to please your parents<\/s> ensure your future. To that end<\/strong>, we\u2019ve secured a copy of our nephew Barnab\u00e9\u2019s written exam. Feel free to ignore the substance of the essay – Barnab\u00e9 is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. We\u2019ve highlighted the important expressions in bold, so that you can use them on Friday. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNowadays, the question of<\/strong> whether heroes are great seems to be on everybody\u2019s lips. In this essay<\/strong>, which is sophisticated and nuanced, I will first examine<\/strong> how heroes can be considered great. In the second section<\/strong>, I will investigate a different view<\/strong>–  that heroes may not be great, but actually<\/strong> super. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost<\/strong>, heroes are great – this cannot be denied.<\/strong> Let\u2019s take the example<\/strong> of Alexander the Great. It is generally agreed<\/strong> that he is great. In fact<\/strong>,  they put it in his name. Therefore, there can be no doubt<\/strong> that he is, well, great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, one can argue that<\/strong> some heroes are not great. Let\u2019s have a look at the case of Superman for instance. On the one hand,<\/strong> Superman defeated his nemesis Lex Luthor and saved the galaxy on several occasions – both reasonable arguments for<\/strong> greatness. Given<\/strong> these traits, one could safely<\/strong> assume that<\/strong> this hero is great. On the other hand<\/strong>, his name is undeniably<\/strong> \u2018Superman\u2019 – leading to confusion as to whether he is actually \u2018super\u2019, rather than \u2018great\u2019. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, it must be acknowledged that<\/strong> some heroes are great, while others are super. Though it\u2019s fair to say that<\/strong> both of these perspectives are valid, in the end<\/strong> I\u2019m not sure what, if anything, I am arguing. As far as I am concerned<\/strong>, a third option is possible: heroes are \u2018awesome\u2019.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, there you have it. As you can see, our nephew Barnab\u00e9 has a bright future in rhetoric ahead of him. Once again, don\u2019t worry about the substance of his brilliant essay – rather try to use the structure and transition terms for your own exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From all of us at Gymglish, good luck on Friday! Let us know how it goes (unless you fail, then we can\u2019t be held responsible).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
