Bonjour je dois faire une rédaction d'environ 150 mots sur ceci After Joe has left, Jess decides to talk to her father. Imagine the dialogue.
Voici le texte dont on doit faire la suite :
Jesminder, an Indian girl living in Britain, has started playing soccer in a team but her parents don’t know about it. Her coach, Joe, visits them…
Joe cleared his throat. “I’m sorry to barge in on you, Mr and Mrs Bhamra,” he said “but I wanted to talk to you in person. I only found out today that you didn’t know Jess was playing for our team.”
“No, we didn’t,” Mum snapped.
“I apologise.” Joe looked straight at Mum, and I loved him for it. […]
Oh, I knew it was just because he wanted me back on the team, but it made me feel good. “If I’d known, I would’ve encouraged Jess to tell you.” –he paused, then went on– “because I believe she’s got tremendous potential.”
We sat there in silence for a few seconds.
“I think we know best our daughter’s potential,” Dad said quietly. “Jess has no time for games. She’ll be starting university soon.”
“But playing for the team is an honour,” I blurted out, unable to keep quiet any longer.
Mum glared at me. “What bigger honour is there than respecting your elders?” she demanded.
Dad looked at Joe. “Young man, when I was a teenager in Nairobi, I was the best fast bowler in my school,” he said curtly. “Our team even won the East African cup. But when I came to this country, nothing. I wasn’t allowed to play in any team. These bloody goreh in their clubhouses laughed at my turban and sent me packing.”
I looked down at the floor. I knew about this because Mum had told me, but Dad had never talked about it before.
“I’m sorry, Mr Bhamra,” Joe began. “But now –”
“Now what?” Dad broke in. “None of our boys are in any of the football leagues. And you think they’ll let our girls in? I don’t want to build up Jessminder’s hopes” – he glanced over at me – “she’ll only end up disappointed like me.”
“But Dad, it’s all changing now,” I said desperately. “Look at Nasser Hussain. He’s the captain of the England cricket team, and he’s Asian.”
“Hussain is a Muslim name,” Mum said sternly. “Their families are different.”
“Oh, Mum!”
It was no use. I could tell that they weren’t going to give in. Joe got the message too. A few minutes later, he got up to leave without finishing his tea.

Bonjour,
comme ce film est passé au "collège au cinéma", vous l'avez sans doute vu avec votre classe et vous savez que cette fille rêve de jouer dans cette équipe, elle va donc essayer de convaincre son père de la laisser jouer dans cette équipe malgré les préjugés, le fait qu'elle soit pakistanaise et je suppose que c'est le dialogue que vous devez inventer: Voilà, maintenant, vous avez une idée de ce qu'il faut faire.
