BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM A Summary Jess Bhamra is an 18-year-old growing up in West London, where her family has taken every effort to stay in touch with its Indian heritage. Jess' father and mother want their daughter to go to law school, learn to cook traditional Indian food, and settle down with a nice Indian boy. However, her family is unaware that Jess has a secret passion for football. While Jess' enthusiasm for football star David Beckham is obvious, given the fact his photos cover the walls of her room, her parents don't know that in her spare time she likes playing in the park with some of the boys in the neighborhood. One day, Jess meets Jules who is quite impressed with Jess' skills. Jules plays with a local women's football team, the Hounslow Harriers, and she tells Jess that she should join their training sessions. Jess knows that her parents would never approve of their daughter playing football, so she doesn't tell them, and starts a double life as a student and a footballer. Vocabulary: To stay in touch with.. : Rester en contact avec… To settle down: s’installer, se fixer To be unaware of something: ne pas être au courant de quelque chose (= to be aware…) Grammar flash : Exprimer le conseil avec : • Should + verbe : NB : L'équivalent français est souvent « devrais » Ex : You should tidy your room ! She shouldn’t smoke !
