EXPRESSION

Sujet 1

Il s’agit là de rédiger un dialogue entre Thobiso et ses parents. Il est important de bien faire ressortir l’inquiétude qu’ont éprouvée les parents, puis leur soulagement à son retour. On peut facilement imaginer qu’ils le « bombardent » de questions pour savoir ce qui s’est passé, ce qui lui est arrivé… Les réponses que pourraient donner Thobiso font appel à votre imagination… Cependant, il ne faut pas oublier les éléments qui sont donnés dans le texte.
