You are going to dub a short scene from the film.

Instructions:

  1. First watch the scene with the sound.
  2. Read the dialogue carefully.
  3. Practise saying the lines then play the video without sound to dub it.
  4. Record yourself dubbing the scene by reading the dialogue aloud.

Jess – And I was happy because I wasn’t sneaking off and lying to you. Didn’t ask to be good at football.
Gurunanak must have blessed me. Anyway, there was a scout from America there today and he’s offered me a place at a top university with a free scholarship and a chance to play football professionally.
And I really want to go. And if I can’t tell you what I want now, then I’ll never be happy whatever I do.

Mother -You let her leave her sister’s wedding to go to a football match.

Father -Maybe you could handle her long face. I could not. I didn’t have the heart to stop her.

Mother -And that’s why she’s ready to go all the way to America now.


Father -When those English cricket players threw me out of their club like a dog. I never complained. On the contrary, I vowed that I will never play again. Who suffered? Me. But I don’t want Jesse to suffer.
I don’t want her to make the same mistakes that her father made of accepting life, accepting situations. I want her to fight and I want her to win because I’ve seen her playing. She’s she’s brilliant.
I don’t think anybody has the right of stopping her. Two daughters made happy on one day. What else can a father ask for?

Mother-At least I’ve taught her full Indian dinner. The rest is up to God.
