Université Paris-Est Créteil UFR Lettres et Sciences Humaines
Département d’Anglais Master professionnel rédaction/traduction
Assessed paper There are two parts to this assessed assignment.
Section A : A museum brochure
Firstly you will be writing a brochure for a museum, aimed at international visitors. You should look at the website of the museum or art gallery to get hold of the information you need, before writing the text of the brochure. This is not a translation exercise - you should not translate what is on the website, but re-write it using the style and structure that you think is best for the museum. Don’t forget to include both practical information (like the cost of a ticket, and the presence of different facilities) and information about highlights of the museum.
You can choose between
Le musée des beaux Arts de Rouen http://www.rouen-musees.com/index.php?idR=12
and
Le musée d’Aquitaine à Bordeaux
http://musees-aquitaine.com/musees/fiche_musee.php?id=19
You should look at museum sites in English so as to be sure you have the correct semi-technical vocabulary, expressions etc. Here are a few examples :
http://www.phm.org.uk/
http://www.yorkartgallery.org.uk/Page/about.aspx
http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/
http://www.museum.maidstone.gov.uk
Here is an example of a museum brochure from the US
http://www.wsmr-history.org/MuseumBrochure.pdf
Like this example, your document must be almost completely made up of full sentences, and not of lists (as is sometimes the tendency in French).
You should imagine this is a professional task, and that you will be paid a lot of money if they like your brochure!
You need not illustrate the document nor lay it out, your job is merely to produce text.
Your text should be between 700 and 900 words long.
Section B an encyclopedia article
For section B you must write an encyclopedia article about a French personality. It can be a musician, artist, scientist, actor or politician, or about a French town. It must be a person or place which is not mentioned in Wikipedia English. Again, do not translate from Wikipedia French, think up yourself an encyclopedia article which is interesting to English readers who know very little about the place or person in question. Your article should be in an appropriate encyclopedic style and between 500 and 600 words.
Again, you need not put in illustrations, hyperlinks and so on, I simply want you to hand in text. And no lists, please.
Do *not* put your article on wikipedia. After the end of the semester, if students agree, the articles will be put on wikipedia.
The whole of the assignment is to be handed in on paper at the first class in January, that is to say Thursday 6th January. It must be typed, not handwritten. I would also like you to send me a copy by email in RTF format before January 10th.

Les lecteurs de cartes à puce Gemplus : le meilleur outil pour relever le défi Sésam-Vitale
Cette fois, c’est parti ! La modernisation du système de santé est maintenant bien en route, grâce au projet Sésam-Vitale.
Les lecteurs de cartes à puce devront répondre aux attentes d’une caisse d’assurance maladie, aussi bien qu’à celles d’une infirmière à domicile.
Pour relever ce défi, Gemplus allie son expérience de leader mondial de la carte à puce à sa parfaite connaissance du système français de Santé.
Grâce à l’exceptionnelle étendue de sa gamme de lecteurs, Gemplus est prêt à répondre aux besoins spécifiques de tous les professionnels de la santé.
Parce que le secteur de la santé se caractérise par la diversité et l’exigence de ses acteurs, Gemplus propose à chacun une gamme de lecteurs adaptée, qui permettent d’assurer les fonctions de lecture/écriture sur les cartes en alliant fiabilité et sécurité.
Pour garantir fiabilité et facilité d’installation...
Les cartes à puce assureront bientôt toutes les opérations administratives. Il faudra équiper l’ensemble du parc informatique des différentes caisses d’assurance maladie avec des lecteurs de cartes.
Gemplus dispose d’une large gamme de lecteurs transparents, permettant d’être intégrés dans différents environnements PC.
...les caisses d’assurance choisiront les lecteurs transparents Gemplus.
• Le GCR400-FD, intégrable facilement dans un PC.
• Le GCR410, petit lecteur périphérique occupant un minimum de place.
• Le GPR400, premier lecteur au format PCMCIA.
La diversité de la gamme de lecteurs transparents Gemplus permet une adaptation parfaite aux différentes configurations du parc informatique.
Les médecins opteront pour les lecteurs intelligents Gemplus...
Qu’ils travaillent en secteur libéral ou hospitalier, les médecins délivreront leurs prescriptions au travers de cartes à puce. Dans un avenir proche, ils géreront l’ensemble du dossier médical du patient par ce biais.
Les lecteurs intelligents Gemplus, d’un accès simple et convivial, permettront aux médecins de s’adapter, aujourd’hui comme demain, aux multiples utilisations de la carte à puce dans le domaine médical.
Le lecteur GCR500 possède clavier et afficheur. Il peut être utilisé en lecteur périphérique, mais aussi fonctionner de façon autonome lorsqu’il est préalablement programmé. La gamme GCR700 permet en plus une connexion modem.
Là encore, la diversité de l’offre de lecteurs Gemplus permettra à chacun de choisir le plus adapté à ses besoins, avec la même garantie de sécurité d’utilisation.
...et lors des visites à domicile, pour les lecteurs portables Gemplus
Y compris au chevet de leurs patients, médecins et infirmières, tout comme les ambulanciers, pourront bénéficier de la technologie Gemplus.
Le lecteur intelligent portable Gemplus Smart Assistant pèse moins de 500g. et a une durée d’autonomie de 5h. Véritable mini-ordinateur à double interface carte à puce et à afficheur digital, le Smart Assistant conjugue mobilité, robustesse et sécurité.
D’une utilisation simple (écran tactile, reconnaissance de l’écriture manuscrite...), il permet le stockage d’une grande quantité de données.

The Economist - World News, Politics, Economics, Business & Finance
The Economist is a very conservative British magazine. But it is extremely well written in modern English, and covers all subjects imaginable (Science, popular music, economics, politics, business, art and so on). I recommend regular reading of the Economist to advanced students to improve your English. Use a dictionary if you can. You don't have to agree with their political conclusions...
