The story of Billy Elliot

(organization)

First, Billy plays boxing but he doesn’t have talent. Then he joins a dancing class.

So his father and his brother don’t agree because they think it’s a sport for girls.

Consequently, his teacher encourages him because she thinks he is talented.

Moreover, his mom encouraged him in a letter to do what he wants.

Finally, his father accepts his passion.

The emotions of the family

First, Billy says he wants to dance so his father is extremely angry.

He is both angry and disappointed.

Consequently, he says a lot of swearwords and he tries to convince Billy for another sport (for example: football or boxing).

Then the grand-ma tries to convince his dad because she agrees with Billy. She thinks he can become a professional dancer.

Finally, Billy is both sad and angry. He says a swearword to his dad and……… maybe he will slam the door, repeat “I hate you”, and go to his bedroom.

The description of the pictures

The 1^st document is a picture.

I can see a boxing ring and a ballerina’s foot on the right.

She is dancing. Maybe it’s a dance lesson.

She is black or she is wearing tights.

The ring has red ropes. It’s blue and the background is white.

I think it can represent the flag of the USA or of the UK (the red stripes and the colour).

Maybe the scene is in the USA or the UK.

In the 2^nd picture, the boy is wearing boxing gloves.

He is not looking at the girl on the right.

Maybe he is looking at his competitor and he is preparing for a competition.
