Hello,

Aujourd’hui, vous avez regardé un premier extrait du film Cool Runnings pour comprendre le sujet du film.

Bobsled in Jamaica!

Bobsled is a winter sport.

In a bobsled team, you must have:

– a steady driver,

– three strong runners to push,

– and ice !

In Jamaica, there are no penguins, no igloos, no Eskimos and no ice, because it’s hot and sunny.

The man is shocked and he goes away because he thinks his friend is crazy.

A bobsled is a pushcart with no wheels.
