Engels grammatica in dit verslag goed

Is the grammar in this letter correct..
Ik ben er namelijk niet echt zeker van.


When the holidays are approaching, my parents my brother and I are discussing about the places we want to go to. Most of the time, we start thinking about a holiday destination a couple of months before the holiday actually starts. Three weeks before the holiday we’ve decided where we want to go. This is most of the time a country with a warm climate.

My family isn’t really the camping type. We often stay in a bungalow or a hotel. We want to have the same facilities in our house, well only me actually. I really like a holiday home when there is a dishwasher, that’s because I’m lazy, I don’t want to clean dishes.

When we arrive at our destination, we will discuss about the places we want to see, or the things we want to do. This will probably result in visiting cities within a radius of 50 km. We are going for the cultural trip.
It doesn’t really matter where we are going, but there is always a place we visit in a holiday. That’s the grocery store. We like to eat all kind of things, especially when we’re in a foreign country. We adapt our lunch, diner, etc., to the country where we are. We buy some things at the store and put them all together in a pan. Sometimes it tastes very good, but there is always the chance that it doesn’t.

My ideal holiday is a cultural trip, with a diner that surprises me every time. A holiday where I can sleep in a warm bed, hearing the dishwasher doing his work.

Three weeks before the holiday we’ve decided where we want to go This is most of the time most of the time this is a country with a warm climate. (ik gebruik liever nation dan country, vind country altijd erg amerikaans maar strikt genomen is het niet fout)

My family isn’t really the camping campers type.
We often stay in a bungalow or a hotel.
We want to have the same facilities as in our house, well only me actually.
I really like a holiday at home whenre there is a dishwasher because I’m lazy, I don’t want to clean dishes by hand.

When we arrive at our destination we will discuss about the places we want to see and the things we want to do.
This will probably result in visiting cities within a radius of 50 km, a cultural trip. (in GB gebruiken ze miles)

Denk vooral na over je leestekenfebruik, verder ben ik zelf nooit zo gecharmeerd van zinnen die met "we" "I" e.d. beginnen maar ook dat is strikt genomen niet fout.

Nation refereert in termen aan het volk van de (natie)staat, country is correct, maar klinkt niet altijd prettig, place is soms toepasselijker.
Wetenschappelijke afstandsmaten mag je best gebruiken, in GB leren ze die ook op school, dus ze weten best wat je bedoelt.

Let verder op het niet te veel herhalen van dezelfde woorden, dan lijkt je verhaal minder een opsomming van gebeurtenissen, meer een verhaal.

Verkortingen vallen onder informeel taalgebruik, probeer deze in geschreven tekst te vermijden.

Diner moet dinner worden
Dishwasher is onzijdig

Ik neem aan dat er nog wel andere mensen aanvullingen hebben.

When we arrive at our destination, we will talk about the places we want to see and the things we want to do. This will probably result in visiting cities within a range of 50 km. We are going for the cultural trip.

Ik zag nogmeer fouten... maar die kon ik er niet uithalen aangezien je zinnen (en het hele verhaal) niet echt goed lopen >.> (ik kan hem wel herschrijven, ik heb toch niks beters te doen )

that’s because I’m too lazy to do the dishes myself.

In het Engels gebruikt men trouwens geen afkortingen in brieven (aldus mijn leraren), dus I'm = I am e.d.

Dat soort afkortingen kunnen WEL in een persoonlijke brief, maar NIET in een zakelijke brief

mwoa, context verhaal hoor

natuurlijk weten ze dat, in amerika weten ze ook best wat euro's zijn, toch zal ik als ik met mijn vriendin uit florida spreek dingen omzetten in dollars.

Dishwasher is onzijdig

wat maakt dat uit?

och in informele brieven zoals dit mag dat gerust.
