Bonjour, je suis en seconde et j'ai un sujet 'expression écrite mais je ne comprends ni le texte ni le sujet. Je vous met en dessous le texte ainsi que le sujet
[The scene takes places in Canada after World War II. Segregation was never institutionalized there. Langston is a black student.]
[Langston] was in his last year of medical school, and [Dorothy] had finished her studies and taken a job with the Toronto Labour Committee for Human Rights, and it fell upon her to head out on her lunch hour to find a place for them to live. They both wanted to rent part of a house.
After rejecting a few flats that had cockroaches or that demanded princely rents, Dorothy found the perfect flat on the second floor of a house on Palmerston Boulevard. Langston could walk to the university in twenty minutes.
[. . .] Dorothy offered to pay for the first month then and there, and to take the key and come back the next day with her husband and their possessions.
“I don’t usually like to rent until I have met both tenants,” Watson said.
“My husband, as you can appreciate, doesn’t have much time on his hands these days. He’s preparing for”
“Yes, of course, of course. I’ll tell you what. I’ll hold the apartment for you. Come back tomorrow, and we’ll sign the contract and exchange the keys for the first month’s rent. You have my word. I’ll hold it for you.”
“All right, then. Tomorrow at seven in the evening?”
“Fine.”
They shook hands.
The next day, Dorothy parked her 1946 Plymouth on Palmerston Boulevard. As she walked with Langston up the steps to the house, Dorothy noticed the red and white For Rent sign still on the door.
“How come it’s still there?” she said.
“Not a good sign.” Langston said. He rang the bell. Watson opened the door and stepped out onto the porch. [. . .]
“Well, we’re here.” Dorothy said. “We’d like to sign the contract, pay you, and bring our things in from the car.”
Langston watched the man open his mouth, close it, stop, pause. People looked at Dorothy and him in the streets
– in fact people looked at them every day
–but this was the first time that they had decided to rent a place together. Langston instantly knew that they would not get the flat. [. . .]
“I’m so sorry,” Watson said, looking only
at Dorothy, “and I hope you haven’t been overly inconvenienced, but I have made other arrangements.”

le texte parle de langston et doroty qui voudraient louer un appartement ensemble. puisque doroty a plus de temps libre c'est donc elle qui est partie pour signer le contrat. watson  qui devrait leur louer l'appartement à demandé à doroty de revenir le lendemain avec langston  et qu'ils signeraient le contrat. watson a promis a doroty de lui garder l'appart et de ne le louer a personne. le lendemain elle vient avec langston et le watson leur dit qu'il est désolé mais qu'il ne peut leur louer l'appart e qu'il a d'autres arrangements. on demande d'imaginer un dialogue.
