Bonjour , quelqu'un pourrait me faire cette "rédaction" en anglais svp? C'est le niveau de seconde ..
Voici la consigne :
Make an account in English of the three texts in order to answer the questions:
• How is the current situation between Catholics and Protestants in Belfast portrayed in the three texts?
• What explanations for the situation and solutions for improvement are mentioned?
(150 words)
Voici les trois textes :
TEXT 1
A sense of safety.
Within Belfast the west of the city is predominately Catholic, east Belfast is largely Protestant, the south
of the city is more mixed, and north Belfast is a patchwork of Protestant and Catholic neighbourhoods.
We found that the everyday use of parks in west and north Belfast was often focused on local facilities–
within a 10–minute walk. People are prepared to travel for specific activities, but maintain a more
frequent relationship with local spaces which act as community hubs.
Remnants of The Troubles remain in Belfast. Distrust of Belfast City Council and the Police Service
Northern Ireland, as well as communities from different parts of the city, persists. Some residents stay in
their local area as it provides a sense of ownership and safety they may not feel elsewhere.

TEXT 2
The celebrated peace walls.
The undercurrent of savagery is rarely far away
It’s been that way from ancient times, until the present day
That murky world of politics, where they always try and fail
Where deals are done in private, behind the secret veil
Held up as a precedent, for all the world to see
How little Ulster saved itself, from a life of misery
We listen to the sound bites, each day’s a brand new start
Yet our celebrated peace walls, keep communities apart
Leslie Wilson, Peace? (excerpt)
TEXT 3
The Re-Imaging Communities project
In Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, hundreds of colorful murals line the city’s streets, detailing a
century’s worth of conflict and political division. (…)
In 1998, the internationally-brokered Good Friday Agreement, also called the Belfast Agreement, officially
ended the conflict and set up a power sharing government between Protestant Unionists and Catholic
Nationalists. Since then the violence has largely subsided. But tensions still linger between Protestant
and Catholic neighborhoods, with some residents reluctant to bridge the gap. (…)
In the last several years, some communities have repainted portions of the most controversial murals or
erected new ones in an effort to continue normalizing relationships between Protestants and Catholics.
Under the Re-Imaging Communities project through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, some
communities received funding to create new murals in place of older images.
These murals lie at the center of a debate over Northern Ireland’s future, Canvas Arts, PBS NewsHour, Feb

Réponse:
In the three texts, the current situation between Catholics and Protestants in Belfast is portrayed as complex and nuanced. The first text describes the city as being divided into different neighborhoods, with west Belfast being predominantly Catholic, east Belfast being largely Protestant, and north and south Belfast being more mixed. However, it also mentions that residents of these neighborhoods often feel a sense of ownership and safety in their local area, despite the remnants of the Troubles that still remain.
The second text, written in the form of poetry, describes the undercurrent of savagery that is present in Belfast and the persistence of political division and mistrust. The author describes the "celebrated peace walls" that keep communities apart and the ongoing failure of political leaders to bring about lasting peace.
The third text describes the ongoing efforts to normalize relationships between Protestants and Catholics in Belfast through the Re-Imaging Communities project. It mentions the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 and the power-sharing government that it established, but also notes that tensions still linger between the two communities. The text also describes the role of murals in the city as a reflection of this ongoing conflict and the efforts of some communities to repaint or replace them in an effort to improve relationships.
In conclusion, the three texts portray the current situation between Catholics and Protestants in Belfast as complex, with ongoing efforts to improve relationships, but also with the remnants of the past and the mistrust that still lingers. Solutions for improvement are mentioned in the form of the Good Friday Agreement and the Re-Imaging Communities project, but it also mentions the role of everyday life and the use of local facilities as a way to promote a sense of shared space and community.
