Hello,
Nick Carraway is a young man who comes to live near New York, in West Egg.
His neighbor is a strange man who (hosts) (lavish) parties (at) his home. At first, Nick is surprised by the parties and (doesn’t know who this man is).
One day, he is (invited) by his cousin Daisy and her husband Tom Buchanan, who live in East Egg, (to attend one of the parties). It (was well) worth going for Nick because (there) he meets Jordan Baker, a famous golfer. She says to him that Tom has a (mistress) who lives in New York and that his strange neighbor is Jay Gatsby, the famous millionaire. Later, Nick Carraway is invited by Gatsby and he looks forward to meeting this strange man. By a happy coincidence, Nick speaks with Gatsby about the First World War.
They become friends and Nick learns, thanks to Jordan, that Gatsby was a (suitor) of Daisy. Unfortunately, Gatsby (had) gone to the war and Daisy married Tom. Thus, the millionaire had bought her home just to (see his first love again).
(Gatsby asks Nick to invite) Daisy (to speak) with her.
Finally, thanks to this plan, Daisy meets Gatsby and recognizes him.
The reunion is (emotional), Daisy weeps (tears of joy) and Gatsby is (overjoyed).
But one day, Tom realises that his mistress loves Gatsby and argues violently with them. However(,) Daisy confesses that she loves Tom (so) Gatsby is (very unhappy). (They drive off in a) car and Tom, Nick and Jordan follow more slowly.
Gatsby's car crashes into a woman (but) doesn’t stop. The woman is Tom's mistress, Myrtle.
(Her) husband, (George) Wilson, (learns that it was Gatsby's car and goes to kill him, falsely thinking he is responsible). George kills Gatsby, and then commits suicide. However, it was not Gatsby who (was driving) but Daisy.
(In a nutshell) she leaves East Egg with Tom, (leaving Nick alone) in the cemetery for the funeral of James Gatz -- the real name of (Jay) Gatsby.

Hello happy boy ,
- a neighbor
/ a neighbour
- present du récit : it is worth going
- Gatsby was away gone to war and meanwhile ...
- il me semble qu'il y a dans l'avant - dernier emploi de 'mistress' une confusion ; Daisy est la 'wife ' .
-Gatsby 's car : pas d'article devant un nom propre qui de plus est un génitif déterminatif .
- éviter l.expression 'in a nutshell ' ( déjà employée dans un résumé précédent )peu appropriée au niveau de ce reste .
Good luck .
