He already had what he wanted.Il avait déjà ce qu'il voulait.

Tout au long du voyage, l'Épouvantail a les meilleures idées, le Bûcheron pleure pour un insecte écrasé, et le Lion affronte tous les dangers. À la fin, le Magicien leur donne un cerveau en son mêlé d'épingles, un cœur en soie rempli de sciure et une potion de courage... de vrais placebos ! Il s'avère qu'ils avaient déjà ces qualités : il leur manquait seulement la confiance en eux. Although / even though + proposition : bien que, même si.

Mise en situation : le débat

Teacher : Did the Wizard really give them brains, a heart and courage?
Le Magicien leur a-t-il vraiment donné un cerveau, un cœur et du courage ?
Ines : Not really. It turns out that they already had those qualities. The Scarecrow had all the good ideas on the journey.

Adam : And even though the Lion says he's a coward, he protects his friends every time.
Et même si le Lion dit qu'il est lâche, il protège ses amis à chaque fois.
Teacher : So what did the Wizard give them?
Alors, qu'est-ce que le Magicien leur a donné ?
Ines : A placebo! Although his gifts were fake, they made them believe in themselves.
Un placebo ! Bien que ses cadeaux soient faux, ils les ont aidés à croire en eux.
Adam : That's a good lesson. Sometimes we need someone else to help us realise what we're capable of.
C'est une belle leçon. Parfois, on a besoin de quelqu'un d'autre pour se rendre compte de ce dont on est capable.
