Pokud neznáte film Zelená míle „The Green mile“, můžete se nejprve podívat na krátkou upoutávku, tak jako my: http://youtu.be/ctRK-4Vt7dA

 

 

 

Mnoho z nás však po zhlédnutí této ukázky zjistilo, že film vlastně zná, jelikož je velmi populární.

Pak následovalo krátké shrnutí a sumarizace potřebných slovíček:

-          prison

-          prison guards

-          Paul

-          convicted

-          scary

-          the electric chair

Pak jsme přešli ke čtení článku, přičemž každému z přítomných studentů lektorka opravovala jeho chyby, popřípadě vysvětlovala neznámá slovíčka:

                                   HAL

                        I interrupt? = Am I interrupting?

                                  PAUL

                        I'm just about done.

              Paul stows /stouz/ the file as Hal settles /sédlz/ onto the bleachers /blíšrz/.

                                   PAUL

                        How's that pretty gal of yours?

                                  HAL

                        Melinda's not so well, Paul. Not

                        so well at all. Got laid up with

                        another headache yesterday. Worst

                        one yet. She's also developed this

                        weakness in her right hand.

                                  PAUL

                        Doctor still think it's migraines?

              Hal gives a slight shake of his head.

                                  HAL

                        I'll be taking her up to Indianola

                        next day or so for some tests. Had

                        X-rays and the like. She is scared

                        to death. Truth to tell, so am I.

                                   PAUL

                        If it's something they can see

                        with an X-ray, maybe it's

                        something they can fix.

                                  HAL

                        Maybe.

               He pulls a letter, hands it to Paul.

                                   HAL

                        This just came in. D.O.E. on

                        Bitterbuck.

              Paul glances toward Bitterbuck, scans the letter, nods.

                                   PAUL

                        You didn't come all the way down

                        here just to hand me a D.O.E.

                                  HAL

                        No. I had an angry call from the

                        state capital about twenty minutes

                        ago. Is it true you ordered Percy

                        Wetmore off the block?

                                  PAUL

                        It is.

                                  HAL

                        I'm sure you had reason, but like

                        it or not, the wife of the

                        governor of this state has only

                        one nephew, and his name happens

                        to be Percy Wetmore. I need to

                        tell you how this lays out?

                                  PAUL

                        Little Percy called his aunt an

Lekce se mi moc líbila, protože si vždy na tomto typu hodiny procvičím svoji výslovnost.
