BOSTON — Emily, a 15-year-old ninth-grader,

The parents, Maria and Benjamin, both school-bus drivers,

have been searching for their daughter all along

and pushing the police to investigate.

They gingerly confess their fears that Emily, a Latina,

is being controlled by a pimp.

Carter Wins Release of American

in North Korea

 

The New York Times

August 27, 2010

By CHOE SANG-HUN

and SHARON LaFRANIERE

 

SEOUL, South Korea —

Former President Jimmy Carter left North Korea

on Friday with Aijalon Mahli Gomes, an American

who was sentenced

[ passé temporel passif ]

to eight years of hard labor

for illegally entering the country,

the Carter Center said.

 

Mr. Gomes was granted

[ passé temporel passif ]

amnesty by the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il,

the Carter Center said in an e-mail. Mr. Gomes, 31,

and Mr. Carter boarded a plane at the Pyongyang Airport.

 

It is expected

[ présent passif ]

that Mr. Gomes will be returned

[ modal + passif ]

to Boston, Mass., early Friday afternoon,

to be reunited

[ infinitif passif ]

with his mother and other members of his family,”

the statement said.

 

Mr. Carter had been visiting Pyongyang,

the North Korean capital,

on a private humanitarian mission

to win the release of Mr. Gomes,

who was sentenced in April

to eight years in a North Korean prison

and fined $700,000 for entering the country illegally.

There has also been speculation

that North Korea might try to use Mr. Carter

as a conduit to ease tensions with the United States.

Mr. Carter had arrived on Wednesday

at the invitation of the North Korean government,

but it was not known whether he met with Mr. Kim,

the North Korean leader.

South Korean officials said Thursday that a special train

[ ellipse : which was ] believed to be carrying Mr. Kim

had entered China around midnight on Wednesday,

setting off speculation over what might have compelled him

to travel to his isolated government’s closest ally

while Mr. Carter was visiting.

After watching Mr. Kim’s movements for the past few days,

the South Korean authorities said

his train had crossed the border with China,

traveling from the North Korean town of Manpo

to Jian in China,

according to an official

at the presidential Blue House in Seoul.

Two South Korean intelligence sources who,

like the presidential aide,

spoke on the condition of anonymity

because of the delicacy of the matter,

said Mr. Kim might be taking his son with him

to introduce him formally to Chinese leaders.

South Korean news outlets raised the same possibility.

Mr. Kim is grooming his youngest son, Kim Jong-un,

as successor, according to South Korean officials.

North Korea is to convene a congress

of its ruling Workers’ Party early next month,

where Mr. Kim is expected

[ présent passif affirmatif ]

to rally popular support for his succession plans.

If confirmed, this would be Mr. Kim’s sixth trip to China, his impoverished country’s largest trading partner and aid provider. His last trip was in May, when he met President Hu Jintao during a five-day visit. North Korea and China usually do not confirm a trip by Mr. Kim until it is over.

News of the possible trip by Mr. Kim led to rampant speculation in South Korea. Possible motives cited by analysts in Seoul included the North’s need for Chinese aid because of flooding and the possibility of a decline in Mr. Kim’s health, which might have forced aides to take him to China for treatment. Many intelligence officials believe Mr. Kim had a stroke in 2008. Around the time that Mr. Kim’s train crossed the border, North Korean news media reported that China would provide emergency flood relief.

With North Korea’s relations with the South and the United States at a low point, “China is the only one Kim Jong-il can go to for aid,” said Kim Keun-sik, an analyst at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul. “He badly needs aid before the party meeting to make it a national festival, as it is meant to be.”
[ présent passif affirmatif ]

Even so, leaving North Korea without meeting Mr. Carter would be a notable breach of diplomatic etiquette, the analyst said. “A possible political message of this is that North Korea gives its priority to China over the United States,” he said.

Mr. Carter was the second former United States president to visit Pyongyang on a humanitarian mission in recent years. In August last year, Bill Clinton met Mr. Kim there and returned with Laura Ling and Euna Lee, two American journalists held there for trespassing in the North.

Mr. Gomes is believed [ présent passif affirmatif ] to have entered North Korea in support of Robert Park, a fellow Christian activist from the United States, who crossed into the country from China in December to call on Mr. Kim to release all political prisoners.
Mr. Park
was expelled after some 40 days.

Auxiliaire du passif : be.

 

 

Comme beverbe,

beauxiliaire se conjugue

au présent (singulier : am, are, is, pluriel : are, are, are).

ou

au passé temporel (was / were).

 

 

Exemple :

He was [ beauxiliaire au passé temporel ] rushed

to the hospital a few minutes ago.

 

 

Exceptions :

 

Au present perfect passif (1)

et au past perfect passif (2),

beauxiliaire est au participe passé :

been.

 

1 - He has been rushed to the hospital.

 

2 - He had been left for dead.

 

Ces énoncés ont donc chacun 2 auxiliaires :

 

have - conjugué au présent (1)

puis au passé temporel (2) -

et

be au participe passé (been).

 

 

Dans un groupe verbal (GV) modalisé,

l'auxiliaire du passif, be,

apparaît en base verbale

(forme non conjuguée du verbe),

puisqu'un modal porte toujours

sur une base verbale :

 

You could be killed.

 

It can be said...

 

It will be done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dans un GV à la forme affirmative,

un modal

(will, would, can, could, may, might, shall, should, must)

est toujours suivi de la base verbale :

 

modal + Base Verbale.

 

 

Un adverbe peut s'insérer entre modal et base verbale.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dans un groupe verbal (GV) au passif,

beauxiliaire,

qu'il soit en base verbale,

conjugué (présent ou passé temporel),

ou au participe passé,

est toujours suivi du participe passé du verbe

(ici done) :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Participe passé régulier ou irrégulier

 

Il y a 2 catégories de verbes en anglais :

réguliers et irréguliers.

 

 

Au participe passé,

chaque verbe irrégulier a sa propre forme.

 

Exemples :

 

take (base verbale), took (passé temporel), taken (participe passé)

 

cut    cut    cut

 

run    ran    run

 

show    showed    shown

 

find    found    found

 

shoot    shot    shot

 

 

 

 

 

Conjugaison > Exemple :

 

He

was

[ beauxiliaire conjugué au passé temporel ]

shot

[ participe passé du verbe irrégulier shoot ].

 

 

 

 

Les verbes réguliers

prennent régulièrement (toujours) -ed

au participe passé :

 

BV + -ed  >  jail + -ed = jailed

 

Exemple : He was jailed.

 

 

 

 

Five [ ellipse de beauxiliaire  > are ] arrested

over fatal stabbing

of teenager Zac Olumegbon

 

Boy of 15 was ambushed

at the gates of his school in south London,

and fell into the arms of his teacher

Zac Olumegbon, 15,

from Brixton Hill in south London,

was confronted  [ passé temporel passif ]

by four young men [ Ncomplément d'agent ]

at the gates of Park Campus School

in West Norwood yesterday morning.

 

He was stabbed several times

and afterwards fell into the arms of his teacher.

He was confirmed dead shortly after arriving at hospital.

Zac's 14-year-old companion ran back to the school

to seek safety after the attack,

but was also stabbed in the arm in the school grounds.

He was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

"I am now satisfied this was a planned attack,

with four black males arriving in the area in a car,"

said Det Ch Insp McFarlane

from the Metropolitan Police Homicide

and Serious Crime Command

"Our inquiries have so far led

me to believe that a confrontation

took place outside the school

involving the two victims and the suspects.

"The victims were chased into Gipsy Road Gardens where,

sadly, the 15-year-old suffered fatal injuries.

"The 14-year-old then ran back

to the school to seek safety,

but was attacked in the grounds of the school,

suffering minor injuries.

"Following the attack the four males left in the car

and headed in the direction of Gipsy Hill."

A local shopkeeper described

how Zac fell into the arms of a teacher after the attack.

"She had her hands open but it was too late

and he collapsed in her arms," said Saima Sadfdar.

"I was told there were three or four people with a big knife.

Apparently one of the teachers realised

something was going on and ran out to help."

She said she knew Zac, who was "no trouble".

Zac's family was too upset to comment

but his friends laid flowers near the murder scene.

Leonie Arecha,

who said she was a friend of the dead teenager,

laid a bunch of flowers at the spot

where he was killed.

An attached card read:

"I will always remember you.

The good, the bad times no matter what.

I will always miss you and see you

when I come up there."

Arecha told the Guardian:

"He was my friend.

We called him 'little Zac'

and I had known him about a year.

He was funny,

I really don't know why he was attacked."

Park Campus was opened two years ago

and hailed as the first school of its kind in Britain,

aimed at getting young people back

into mainstream education.

Residents said the school had developed

a reputation for trouble since it opened.

Rose Gabriel, who lives nearby, said:

"We were kind of expecting

something to kick off at some point.

It's a shame it had to happen like this."

All pupils at the school,

which has 80 places,

were kept inside for questioning

by teachers and police yesterday.

 

A post-mortem examination will be held

[ modal + passif ]

at Greenwich Mortuary today.

 

Zac was the 13th teenager to be killed

[ infinitif passif ]

in the capital this year.

A Special Branch detective was stabbed to death

by a suspected Al Qaeda terrorist last night.

The 40-year-old married man was killed

during a raid on a house in Manchester

which had been under surveillance for days.

Four other officers were wounded

as police swooped on a man

suspected of masterminding a plot

to launch a bio-terror attack on Britain.

The raid was linked to the discovery

of the deadly poison ricin in London earlier this month.

Greater Manchester Police said

three men of North African origin had been arrested.

The force's Special Branch

had been conducting a joint operation

with MI5 watching the house

in Crumpsall, North Manchester,

a rundown area of Victorian houses

and modern blocks of flat.

It is believed that after police raided the property

and 'contained' the suspects, one managed to break away.

He grabbed a knife

and launched a furious attack on officers,

leaving one dying from a chest wound.

None of the police had been armed.

It was not clear whether the murdered detective,

who was married with children,

was wearing protective clothing.

Condom ads could be screened

before 9pm watershed

 

Watchdogs call for radical shakeup of advertising rules

to stem rise in teenage pregnancies

The historic ban on condoms being advertised on TV before the 9pm watershed should be scrapped as part of the drive to reduce spiralling teenage pregnancy rates in the UK, it will be recommended tomorrow, as part of a radical shakeup of the rules governing advertising.

Pregnancy advisory services should also be permitted to advertise for the first time on the radio, under proposals resulting from the first major review of national advertising codes for nearly 50 years.

The bodies responsible for looking after the advertising codes will ask the public to give their views on a series of proposed new, simplified advertising standards, after an 18-month review. The codes are written by the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (Bcap).

Also proposed is enhanced protection of children, through a new restriction to prevent adverts for age-restricted computer and console games appearing around TV programmes likely to appeal to youngsters.

But advertising via digital media such as companies' own websites is not included, because it is subject to the outcome of a separate review. And, controversially, the proposals do not also cover the advertising of alcohol, gambling and junk food to children – each the subject of major recent changes.

Significantly, for the first time, TV and radio adverts will be subjected to an overarching "social responsibility" rule, with explicit requirements to prevent advertisers from making exaggerated and misleading environmental claims.

Based on the established principles that advertisements should be legal, decent, honest and truthful, they are independently administered by the Advertising Standards Authority, which investigates and adjudicates on complaints.

Government figures published last month showed the number of teenage pregnancies in England and Wales had risen for the first time in five years. Conception rates among girls rose from 40.9 per 1,000 in 2006 for those aged 15-17 to 41.9 per 1,000 in 2007.

The consultation document states its intention: "To relax the pre-9pm ban on condom advertising in response to evidence from the Independent Advisory Group on Sexual Health and in the light of the UK having the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe." However, it suggests that such advertising should be kept away from the youngest viewers.

Post-conception pregnancy advice services are to be permitted to advertise for the first time on radio, but with the requirement to make clear if they do not refer women for abortion. That information is important because, for those women who opt for it, delay in performing an abortion could result in medical complications.

The condom manufacturer Durex said in a statement last night: "We have consistently made the case for the urgent need for responsible pre-watershed condom advertising on television. We believe very strongly that it is essential to be able to get the right safer sex messages across to the right people at the right time, while ensuring adverts are kept away from the youngest viewers."

Andrew Brown, chairman of CAP and Bcap, said: "The UK advertising codes are widely recognised for setting a high bar for social responsibility. Our priority is to ensure that the rules remain relevant for the future so that consumers can continue to enjoy and trust the ads they see."
