Week 15 Tuesday January 3rd-7th 2012

This week, once we'd made our New Year's resolutions , we finished off the work on proportionality and link words, left over from before the holidays. We then plunged into a final text on the multicultural subject, taken from the adaptation of Bend it like Beckham, when Joe goes to meet Jessminder's parents to try to persuade them to let her play in the team since she has potential.

We clearly understood her father's position, that he had played in Nairobi but hadnot been allowed to be part of a cricket team when he arrived in Britain. He didn't want Jess to be disappointed.

I asked you to write a summary of what you'd understood.
