Bonjour à vous tous
J'ai une rédaction en anglais (TermS) relativement importante à rendre pour mardi. Je vous soumets ci-après ce que j'ai fait.
Je ne vous demande pas bien sûr d'y passer 2 heures, mais juste de m'indiquer les fautes d'orthographe et de grammaire, ou les non-sens que vous pourriez dénicher. Merci beaucoup !


Jim and Cathy are two young British people at the beginning of the Twentieth century, barely promised in marriage. Annoyed by their dull way of life, they have the project to go and live in Austria. Cathy informed her parents and they disagree. In the following passage, she told Jack the causes of her parents' decision.

C : I am so disappointed... I waited the best moment to do my declaration. A day, they seemed to be in a fine mood so I tried and yet...

J : Tell me ! How did you argue ?

C : In first, I told them that if there was something they could do to help me, it was to allow me to choose my destiny.

J : Perhaps this is little aggressive, isn't it ?

C : I dunno. In any case, they nodded and said initially they could understand that. Obviously, they asked what I wanted. Certainly too much self-confident, I clearly declared to them that I intended to leave with you to make a living in Austria soon. Then, they were shaken. They reeled a flood of argument off to convince me not to leave.

J : Give me examples ?

C : They said I was too young to leave the family house, that the life wouldn't be safe for me in Austria.

J : There are no problems ! You are with me ! Nothing can happen to you.

C : I know but... That's precisely why they are worry ! They retorted that they didn't know you enough to have really confidence. Anyway, they affirmed that the place of women was at home and that I didn't need to go and risk my life elsewhere.

J : This vision of the world is very antiquated ! .... Well. We will escape without their agreement then !

--------------------
To what extend has the place of women evolved since the beginning of the century as regards marriage, work and education ?

I think the role of women moved much, and rather in a good way.
At the beginning of the century, women were regarded as really inferior to men. Schools were not mix: There were schools of girls opposite to schools of boys. Girls were not destined for same works as men. Whether they didn't remain at home, they became most of the time servants, workers or sometimes nurses.
The emancipation of women started after the second world war, with currents like the “Women's Lib”, which will make possible to women to have better living conditions. In France, the fifth Republic authorized women to go to vote and the wages became fairer.
Thus, in the “civilized” countries, women acquire little by little the same rights as men. Today, inequalities between civilizations about the women rights still exist because of their different cultures.
