→ Write a short paragraph using the words or phrases or grammar tools found in Q.2 c)
Trace écrite à recopier
In her song “Roar,” Katy Perry shows how much she has changed.
Katy USED TO be weak and fearful: she says “Scared to rock the boat” /
She USED TO be shy, and well-mannered/ polite, she says “I sat quietly, agreed politely”
In the past, she was clumsy and fearful. She was not confident AT ALL! She says, “I fell for everything”.
But in the jungle, she has become a new person: NOW she is MORE courageous, she is STRONGER = less weak and cowardly. She has become AS brave AS a lion! She can roar LIKE a 🦁, she IS NOT afraid ANYMORE.
UNLIKE before, when she was cowardly and let others control her, she is now more confident and self-reliant. She can now stand up for herself, she is NO LONGER gullible!
She was quiet and weak WHEREAS now, she is brave and adventurous.
