Un jeune aidant (a young carer) est un enfant ou un adolescent qui s'occupe (looks after) d'un membre de sa famille malade, handicapé (disabled) ou dépendant. Au Royaume-Uni, on estime qu'il y en a des centaines de milliers. Ils font les courses, la cuisine, donnent des médicaments, et se sentent parfois fatigués ou isolés. Des associations et les écoles les aident. L'essentiel : It's OK to ask for help. Pour exprimer l'obligation : I have to... ; l'absence d'obligation : I don't have to...

Mise en situation : avec le professeur principal

Mr Patel : Noah, you look tired. Is everything OK?
Noah, tu as l'air fatigué. Tout va bien ?
Noah : Not really. My dad is ill, so I look after him and my little sister.
Pas vraiment. Mon père est malade, donc je m'occupe de lui et de ma petite sœur.
Mr Patel : That's a lot of responsibility. What do you have to do?
C'est beaucoup de responsabilités. Qu'est-ce que tu dois faire ?
Noah : I have to cook, do the shopping and take my sister to school. I don't have time for my homework.
Je dois cuisiner, faire les courses et emmener ma sœur à l'école. Je n'ai pas le temps pour mes devoirs.
Mr Patel : You're a young carer, Noah. You're very brave. And it's OK to ask for help.

Noah : Thank you, sir. I didn't want to tell anyone.
Merci, monsieur. Je ne voulais en parler à personne.
