2nd part of my translation ^^ She watched the plane fly almost directly above the house, and saw the shape of the wings and the cone of brightness which the landing light of the plane projected before it. The noise of the engine was loud now - not just a distant buzz - but a heavy, churning sound. Elle observa l’avion qui volait presque tout juste au-dessus de la maison et vît l’ombre des ailes ainsi que le cône de lumière émit par les phares d’atterrissage projeté par ce dernier d’atterrir. Le bruit de l’appareil fût à fort - et non un simple bourdonnement - mais lourd et bruyant. Surely, it would wake the household, she thought, but when the plane had drooped down on to the airstrip and the engine faded, the house was still in silence. A tout les coups, cela réveillerait le propriétaire de la maison pensait-elle, mais quand l’avion descendît sur la piste et fit son atterrissage, la maison resta silencieuse.

I want to share a text i have to translate. There are the original text and my translation(1st part) Not far away, a small plane on its way to Garborone flew low over the dam and then, losing height, floated down over the area known as the Village, over the cluster of shops on the Tlokweng Road, and finally, in the last minute of its journey, over the houses that dotted the bush on the airstrip boundary. Pas loin de là, un petit avion en chemin vers Garborone, volait lentement au-dessus du barrage, puis perdit de l’altitude et survola la région connue sous le nom de Le Village, passa au-dessus d’un ensemble de magasin situés sur la route de Tlokweng, pour finalement surplomber les maisons qui longeaient les limites de la piste d’atterrissage à la dernière étape de son voyage. In one of these, at a window, a girl sat watching. She had been up for an hour or so, as her sleep had been disturbed, and she had decided to get up from her bed and look out of the window. Dans l’une d’elles, une fille assise regardait à la fenêtre. Elle était debout depuis une heure environ, vu que son sommeil avait été perturbé, et ella avait décidé de se lever de son lit et regarda à travers la fenêtre. The wheelchair was beside the bed and she was able to manoeuvre herself into it without help. Then, propelling herself over the open window, she had sat and looked out into the night. Le fauteuil roulant était à côté du lit et elle fût capable de le manoeuvrer elle-même de manière à s’asseoir dedans sans aucune aide. Puis, elle se propulsa jusqu’à la fenêtre ouverte, prit place et regarda au travers. She had heard the plane before she saw its lights. She had wondered what a plane was doing coming in at three un the morning. Elle avait entendu l’avion avant d’avoir vu ses lumières. Elle s’était demandée comment un avion pouvait arriver à 3 heures du matin. How could pilots fly at nights? Comment les pilotes pouvaient-ils volaient de nuit? How could they tell where they were going in that limitless darkness? Comment pouvaient-ils dire où est-ce qu'il allait dans cette nuit noire? What if they took a wrong turn and went out over the Kalahari, where there were no lights to guide them and where it would be like flying within a dark cave. Et s’ils prenaient un mauvais chemin et allaient au-delà de Kalahari, où il n’y avait aucune lumière pour les guides et où voler était comme avancer dans grotte sombre.
