 a meeting between a daughter and her mother

It's an interview of a woman about her past. Here are the elements we think we understood:

We could hear a woman's voice.
It's a woman who lived in Jamaica and went to England 15 years ago / 50 years ago.
She said she came to England 50 years ago at the age of 13.
The woman came to England because her mother was there. She had to join her because she was living in Jamaica with her grandmother,  and she didn't want to leave because she loved her grandmother, she was living with her, and she was lovely.
She must prepare a passport to go to England.
She said England was frozen.
she said she had a picture in her passport, she was 12, 13?

Myths & Heroes 1

The Myth Of Robinson Crusoe Today we studied a picture together. At first we noticed a palm tree ( un palmier ) ; if there was a palm tree, the scene would probably take place on a tropical island. And if there was a tropical island and the topic was myths & heroes, then it could be about Robinson Crusoe. After that, we could see a man with a gun and a sword. He had strange, self-made clothes on. He could be hunting ; he also looked like a settler. Finally, we understood he had another man under his foot. If it was about Robinson Crusoe, it might be Friday. There were dead bodies in the background too. If there were corpses, then maybe Robinson was the murderer. To put it bluntly, it seemed racist and insensitive. We can wonder to what extent is Robinson Crusoe a hero and a myth... a rifle rags a settler a corpse / a body to put it bluntly sensitive / sensible to what extent... 1.

Idea Of Progress 6

Launching the Mro  Today we watched another document about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. We understood that the satellite couldn't respond immediately ; it had a 12 minute delay. there were a lot of engineers and scientists to design this. They came from all over the world (the H1B helps, this is the genius visa).  We also noticed that the MRO had to burn a booster to slow down and be attracted by the gravitation of Mars. It then takes 6 months for the satellite to stabilize its orbit. Warm Up Georges Méliès special fx  CGI (Abyss) 1896 he / she / it
