Hello dears,
Vous allez pouvoir continuer à faire connaissance avec Cal... Faites bien attention à la longueur des phrases.
Vous n'êtes pas obligés de la conserver, mais devez choisir de la ponctuation qui ne change pas
le sens du texte.
Courage et inspiration... 
Translate into French:
Now comfortably settled in an exquisitely furnished twelve-room mansion in Greenwich, Cal was
living the life he had dreamed about for himself years ago in the tiny, spartan bedroom that had
been his retreat from his parents, who had spent their evenings drinking cheap wine and quarreling.
When the quarrels got too loud or became violent, the neighbours had called the police. Cal learned
to dread the sound of the police siren, the contempt in the eyes of the neighbours, the snickers of
his classmates, the comments around town about his trashy parents.
He was very smart, certainly smart enough to know that the only road for him was education, and in
fact, his teachers in school soon realized he’d been blessed with near genius intelligence. In his
bedroom with its sagging floor, peeling walls, and single dim overhead light, he’d studied and read
voraciously, concentrating particularly on learning everything he could about the possibilities for
and future of the computer.
At twenty-four, after getting an MBA, he went to work at a struggling computer company.

hello IN PROGRESS
Aujourd'hui confortablement installé dans un hôtel particulier de douze pièces à Greenwich, Cal vit
la vie dont il avait rêvé il y a des années, dans la chambre minuscule et spartiate qui avait été
son refuge pour échapper à ses parents, qui passaient leurs soirées à boire du vin bon marché et à se quereller.
Lorsque les disputes devenaient trop bruyantes ou violentes, les voisins appelaient la police. Cal a appris
à redouter le son de la sirène de police, le mépris dans les yeux des voisins, les ricanements de
ses camarades de classe, les commentaires en ville sur ses parents peu recommandables.
Il était très intelligent, certainement assez pour savoir que la seule voie qui s'offrait à lui était l'éducation, et ses professeurs ont vite compris qu'il avait été doté d'une intelligence proche de celle d'un génie. Dans sa chambre avec son plancher affaissé, ses murs écaillés, et son unique plafonnier peu éclairé, il avait étudié et lu avec voracité, se concentrant particulièrement sur l'apprentissage de tout ce qu'il pouvait concernant les possibilités et l'avenir de l'ordinateur.
À vingt-quatre ans, après avoir obtenu un MBA, il est allé travailler dans une entreprise informatique en difficulté.
