An update on our screenings Dear members, Thursday screenings continue. To accompany these sessions, the committee has decided to add a short introductory document to the film information when the team preparing the session supplies one. This material could help you prepare questions and find the main introductory points again. A Sunday discussion has also been proposed. The idea remains under consideration: neither a room nor a date is confirmed. What advantages and difficulties do you see in a discussion held separately from the screening? Your comments will help us examine the proposal. You can send them before the next committee meeting. Thank you for taking part in club life. The committee

Now write a three-sentence version. Keep Thursday, the document’s supply condition and the invitation to comment. Compare your verbs with the model: se poursuivent states continuity, sera fourni keeps the condition, and reste à l’étude describes the proposal’s current status.
