Hallo,
Ich möchte ein Jahr Au PAir in Amerika machen und muss dafür einen Text an die möglichen Gastfamilien schreiben. Könnte ihn jemand korrigieren,da ich nicht so gut bin in englisch?
Liebe Grüße
Hier der Text:
Dear future host family,
My name is Elena. I'm from Germany, Heiligenstedten, this is near Hamburg, wich you might know. I come across from the "far north" as we Germans like to say.
I live with my mom alone, because she and my dad are divorced. But he lives only 15 minutes away by car. I have a "little" brother(15), he lives with my dad. The quotes because he is bigger than me. Once a Sunday in month my dad makes a game night with board games. Then the family meet and we play Monopoly or something like that, but I also meet him in between for lunch or so.
At the moment I'm doing my high school graduation. So there is much to do. But that's because I'm much happier when I see my Babysitting children, Janne and Malin. I meet them every Sunday, when they were smaller twice a week.
We have so much fun togheter. Last time we made a tickling battle, it was so amusing. We often go out to a park or something like that. We love to play Memory, mabe you know it. Also hide away, makeup, paint, dress, making things, go eat ice cream, knead and swing on the playground they love. I know them for almost 3 years, so they are like my little sisters. You can see them both in my photo album.
To be relax I like to play guitar, so I can come down in the evenings. But I only play since december. Something new is always interesting to learn. One song I can already play.
Every day when it's not to rainy or icy I ride with my bike to school, one an hour for back and forth. And so I can switch off very well after school. But the last time there was so much snow that I unfortunately can not ride my bike.
Twice a week I go to the office, there I have a little side job. I sort files and I'm the girl for everything. It's a real great job, and the working atmosphere is very pleasant.
I often meet my friends, at school, at a cafe, at the cinema, at a public pool. We like to go shopping, last weekend we went to a special shop for evening dresses, we searched a dress for our graduationball.
My best friend plays the violin, so I often visit classical concerts with her, often she also plays with the orchestra. I also love musicals, the Lion King or we will rock you. I'd like to see Cats or Dance of the Vampires.
I like to travel. Three times I was traveling with a friend to France, I also have a friend there, so we have lived with her during our vacation. She lives in Paris and showed us the city. Last year we made a class trip to Italy, this was ver fun with all of my friends, especially because we can not speak a word italien. Then I was in England to impove my Englisch, I lived 2 weeks with a host family. In my photos are pictures from my travels, look it up gladly.
When the sun is shining I love to go jogging. I love it to be outside, especially with kids. Collecting stones, meet other children at the playground, building sandcastles or play soccer.
I love kids, so an Au Pair year is one of my dreams. To be there for the kids, to help them, to assist them. With me you can have so much fun, we can play all of whom I have told and of course much much more. I'm really looking forward to meet you and spend an exciting year with you.
I hope I made you curious about me. If so, I would be glad if you get in touch.
With many kind greetings, especially for the children.
Elena
Korrekturleseung Au Pair Brief Englisch
Re: Korrekturleseung Au Pair Brief Englisch
Meine "Spezialität" Gerne empfehle ich dir auch www.aupairusa.de, da gibt es tolles Forum (mittlerweile geht es auch wieder), und da hab ich mich damals immer umgehört. Gerne kannst du aber auch mich fragen, auch wenn du was nicht verstehst, was ich dir da reingeschrieben habe
Dear future (du kannst das "future" auch weglassen, dann klingt es persönlicher) host family,
My name is Elena. I'm from Germany, Heiligenstedten, this ("this" weg, dafür "which") is near Hamburg, wich you might know(Lass diesen Halbsatz weg, Hämbörg kennen die sicher ). . I come across from the "far north" as we Germans like to say.Diesen Satz müsste ich mal auf Deutsch haben
I live alone with my mom alone/dieses alone muss weg), because she and my dad are divorced. But he lives only 15 minutes away by car. I have a "little" brother(15), he lives with my dad. I used the quotes (quotationmarks( because he is bigger (taller, oder meinst du "dicker"? ) than me. Once a Sunday in month (Schreib einfach "Once a month", dass es an einem Sonntag passiert, ist ja nicht so wichtig) my dad makes (statt "makes" würde ich "holds" schreiben, dass klingt natürlicher) a game night with board games. Then the family meet (hier fehlt das s: "meets") and we play Monopoly or something like that, but I also meet him in between for lunch or so.
At the moment I'm doing my high school graduation. So there is much to do (vielleicht lieber "to learn"? So vermeidest du die Wiederholung von "do"). But that's because I'm much happier (Du willst sagen: Aber darum bin ich umso glücklicher", oder? Eher: )Which is why I'm really happy,when I see my Babysitting children, Janne and Malin. I meet them every Sunday, when they were smaller twice a week.
We have so much fun togheter. Last time we made a tickling battle, it was so amusing. We often go out to a park or something like that. We love to play Memory, mabe you know it(Geh mal davon aus, dass die wissen was "Memory" ist . Also hide away(Verstecken? Das heißt "Hide and Seek"), makeup, paint, dress up, making things, go eat ice cream, knead and swing on the playground they loveDas muss aich den Anfang: Also they love to play hide and Seek,..... I know them for almost 3 years, so they are like my little sisters. You can see them both in my photo album.
To be(weg mit dem "be") relax I like to play guitar, so I can come(runterkommen heißt "calm down) down in the evenings. But I only play since december. Something new is always interesting to learn. One song I can already play.Diese drei Sätze würde ich ganz umstellen: "I just started playing it in December, but I can already play one song. It is alway interesting to learn new stuff." Jetzt könntest du noch anhängen: "... and gain new experiences")
Every day when it's not to rainy or icy I ride with my bike to school(andersrum: "to school with my bike"), one an hour for back and forthÖhm, "it takes about an hour each way"?. And so I can switch off very well after school. But the last time there was so much snow that I unfortunately can not("couldn't", da es jetzt ja besser ist mit dem Wetter) ride my bike.
Twice a week I go to the office, there I have a little side job(..., where I have a job). I sort files and I'm the girl for everything. It's a real great job, and the working atmosphere is very pleasant.
I often meet my friends, at school, at a cafe, at the cinema(Eigentlich richtig, die amis sagen aber "the movies"), at a public pool. We like to go shopping, last weekend we went to a special shop for evening dresses, we searched a dress for our graduationball.
My best friend plays the violin, so I often visit classical concerts with her, often("often" weg) she also plays with the orchestra. I also love musicals, the Lion King or We will rock you. I'd like to see Cats or Dance of the Vampires.

Last year we made a class trip to Italy, this was ver fun with all of my friends(which was a lot of fun), especially because we can not speak a word italien"...a single word italian". Then I was in( I've been to) England to impove my English, I lived 2 weeks with a host family. In my photos are pictures from my travels, look it up gladly.
