[ENG] Presentatie

[_superboer_]

Morgen heb ik een presentatie Engels. Aangezien mijn uitspraak echt belabberd is, hoop ik dat het verhaal wel duidelijk is en de grammatica klopt. Zouden jullie daarom misschien de volgende tekst kunnen controleren op grammaticafouten of onduidelijkheden?

My presentation is about the Alquin text The long game. It’s about the American sport world were black people are discriminated. Until the half of last year, black people were barred from a lot off professional sport games in American. First I will give you a short summary of this article. The start with some examples of black sportsmen who are discriminated.

The first example is the boxer Jack Johnsen. He is the first black world heavyweight champion, but in the first place he couldn’t win the belt because the reigning champion refused to fight against a black man.

The second example is about an other boxer called Joe Louis. When he defeated Primo Carnera in 1935. A sportswriter described the champion as ‘something sly and sinister and perhaps not quite human… out of the African Jungle.

Next example is about sprinter Jesse Owens. He won four gold medals at the Olympic games in Berlin, but he ended his career as an circus attraction, racing against horses, because nobody wanted to offer him a good contract.

A contradicted example is Tiger Woods. He is the most famous golfer and the best earning sport man of the world. His impact on golf cannot be overstated. Because of him, more black people are playing a game that for too long tried to exclude people of color. They were banning them from joining clubs and from taking part in competitions.

Larry Bird, a white basketball star said that there must be more white superstars in the NBA because ‘the majority of fans are white’. Many black players took this as a sign of disrespect.

There is also a big preconception that says that whit athletes succees because of willpower while black athletes succees because of physical qualities and God-given natural ability. A columnist for the New York Times wrote ‘Natural athlete has become a genteel way to say nigger’. This belief has been the biggest barrier keeping African-Americans from leadership roles on and off the field.

Now a days, hardly 60 years after segregation ended there are only a few black sports men in American national teams. For example no black American has ever qualified as a swimmer for the Olympics and only seven of more than 450 at the national swimming trials are black. This has to do with the expense and the shortage of trainings facilities in urban areas.

In my opinion this is not a good development. I think that black people must have the same possibilities as white people, but a big problem is that the don’t have the money to use good facilities.

This was mine presentation.

Ik weet dat het kort is, maar het hoeft ook maar vijf minuten te duren.

Hebben jullie misschien ook nog tips waar ik op moet letten bij de uitspraak?

Alvast bedankt!

Mijn engels is geschreven ook niet alles, maar 'k zal 't proberen aan te passen:

My presentation is about the Alquin text The long game. It’s about the American sport world were black people are discriminated. Until the first ik vind 'half' alleen raar klinken half of last year, black people were barred from a lot off professional sport games in American. First I will give you a short summary of this article. I'll start with some examples of black sportsmen who are discriminated.

The first example is the boxer Jack Johnsen. He is the first black world heavyweight champion, but in the first place ik begrijp niet helemaal wat je hier bedoeld, bedoel je 'in de eerste plaats' of bedoel je dat hij geen eerste kon worden? dat eerste wordt iets als but first he.... in dat geval mist er een second, dus ik denk niet dat je dat bedoelt. De tweede: but he couldn't get first place and win the belt because... he couldn’t win the belt because the reigning champion refused to fight against a black man.

The second example is about another boxer called Joe Louis. When he defeated Primo Carnera in 1935. A sportswriter described the champion as ‘something sly and sinister and perhaps not quite human… out of the African Jungle'.

The next example is about sprinter Jesse Owens. He won four gold medals at the Olympic Games in Berlin, but he ended his career as a circus attraction, racing against horses, because nobody wanted to offer him a good contract.

A contradicted example is Tiger Woods. He is the most famous golfer and the best earning sports man of the world. His impact on golf cannot be overstated. Because of him, more black people are playing a game that for too long tried to exclude people of color. They were banning them from joining clubs and from taking part in competitions.

Larry Bird, a white basketball star said that there must be more white superstars in the NBA because ‘the majority of fans are white’. Many black players took this as a sign of disrespect.

There is also a big preconception that says that white athletes succeed because of willpower while black athletes succeed because of physical qualities and God-given natural ability. A columnist for the New York Times wrote ‘Natural athlete has become a genteel way to say nigger’. This belief has been the biggest barrier keeping African-Americans from leadership roles on and off the field.

Nowadays dit kan dus gewoon aan elkaar, maar dat hoort niemand natuurlijk , hardly 60 years after segregation ended there are only a few black sports men in American national teams. For example; no black American has ever qualified as a swimmer for the Olympics and only seven of more than 450 at the national swimming trials are black. This has to do with the expense and the shortage of trainings facilities in urban areas.

In my opinion this is not a good development. I think that black people must have the same possibilities as white people, but a big problem is that the don’t have the money to use good facilities.

This was my presentation.

De foutjes zijn volgens mij maar minimaal, geen dingen die je echt hoort tijdens 't luisteren. Ik vind je geschreven Engels heel goed!

Voor uitspraak is vooral belangrijk dat je niet te snel gaat praten en probeert intonatie aan te brengen. Ook al is je gesproken Engels dan niet zo goed, men kan 't wel verstaan. Wil je echt goed kunnen spreken, dan zal je moeten oefenen en oefenen, jezelf opnemen en naluisteren, luisteren wat een brit/amerikaan anders doet dan jij etc etc. 't Helpt vaak wel om voor dat je gaat spreken veel Engels te horen, op tv bv, dan zit je al een beetje in de taal.

Succes

My presentation is about the Alquin text The long game. It’s about the American sports world were black people are still discriminated. Until the first half of last year, black people were held back in a lot off professional sports games in America. To start off I will give you a short summary of this article. I'll start with some examples of black sportsmen who are discriminated.

The first example is the boxer Jack Johnsen. He is the first black world heavyweight champion, but in the end/after all he couldn’t win the belt because the reigning champion refused to fight against a black man.

The second example is about another boxer called Joe Louis. When he defeated Primo Carnera in 1935. A sportswriter described the champion as ‘something sly and sinister and perhaps not quite human… out of the African Jungle'.

The next example is about sprinter Jesse Owens. He won four gold medals at the Olympic Games in Berlin, but he ended his career as a circus attraction, racing against horses, because nobody was willing to offer him a good contract.

An example to contrict all of these above is Tiger Woods. He is the most famous golfer nationwide and even worldwide and the best earning sportsman of the world. His impact on golf cannot be exaggerated . Because of him, more black people are playing a game that for too long tried to exclude people of color. They were banning them from joining clubs and from taking part in competitions.

Larry Bird, a white basketball star said that there should be more white superstars in the NBA because ‘the majority of fans are white’. Many black players took this as a sign of disrespect.

There is also a big prejudice that says that white athletes succeed because of willpower while black athletes succeed because of physical qualities and God-given natural ability. A columnist for the New York Times wrote ‘Natural athlete has become a genteel way to say nigger’. This belief has been the biggest barrier keeping African-Americans from leadership roles on and off the field.

Nowadays, not even 60 years after segregation ended there are only a few black sports men in American national teams. For example; no black American has ever qualified as a swimmer for the Olympics and only seven out of over450 at the national swimming trials are black. This has to do with the expense and the shortage of trainings facilities in urban areas.

In my opinion this is not a good development. I think that black people should have the same possibilities as white people, but a big problem is that the don’t have the money to use good facilities.
