engels!klopt dees e beetje?

[stephkeuh]

I’ve interviewed Rosa, an 86 years old lady. She’s a friendly and nice person.
She’s already 2 years in the rest home, it was her own choice. She’s glad she here know, at home she’s alone and here are a lot of people who she can talk with. There free, they can do several things and there also regular party’s. She was happy that we asked her to interview.

She went to school till the age of 17 and she studied office clerk and dactilo(dactilo daar weet ik de vertaling ni van!!!). They were 6 at home, 4 boys and 2 girls. When she was 23 she married. She has 2 sons and 5 grand children.
Her husband died to soon, he was only 58, her mother on the other hand died when she was 96.

We also asked her about the second world war and all the joy disappeared. It were really hard times. Her son was only 1 year old and they had to hide for the German people. Each day they lived in fear. She also lost a brother, he died at the consequences of the war.
She wasn’t sure, but it may be possible that there is a third world war on his way when we think of the situations in America.

Rosa thinks that the world has changed for the better. Doctors know more and people live longer now.

When we asked her what age she wants to reach, she laughed, she told us that once a fortune teller has said, she would become 94 and she really believes it!

She went to school until the age of 17 and she studied office clerk and dactilo (dactilo daar weet ik de vertaling ni van!!!). She came out a family of 6, 4 boys and 2 girls. When she was 23 she got married. She has 2 sons and 5 grand children.
Her husband died too soon, he was only 58, her mother on the other hand died when she was 96.

We also asked her about the second world war and she became a little sad. It was a really hard time. Her son was 1 year old and they had to hide from? weet ik niet zeker the German people. Each day they lived in fear. She also lost a brother, he died from the consequences of the war.

Je Engels is niet prachtig, en erg letterlijk vertaald, maar het is niet fout verder. Ik kan het wel mooier maken nog, maar ik denk dat je het zelf maar zo moet houden, zeker als je het in moet leveren is het raar als je op 15 jarige leeftijd opeens veel beter Engels kan dan eerst

[stephkeuh]

Is toch goed zo? Iemand haalt er wat fouten uit, de rest heb je zelf gedaan

Dit kan iig beter vervangen worden door: "She has been in the rest home for 2 years now.", ik weet niet of dit fout is, maar het zou wel eens kunnen van wel.

has been, dan zeg je dat ze al 2 jaar er zit, en dan op een manier dat ze ervan baalt dacht ik? Zoiets werd ooit fout gerekend daardoor...

Ik heb geleerd dat als iets nog steeds zo is, je de present continues gebruikt. maar ik heb dan ook een slechte methode

moet het niet zijn she really believed it, want ze is toch al 96, of niet? Kan best zijn dat het in de tekst niet zo is want ik hem m niet helemaal gelezen.

En het is iid has been in the rest home. Het is iets wat al begonnen is en nu nog steeds doorgaat.

I’ve interviewed Rosa, an 86 years old lady. She’s a friendly and nice person.
She’s been in a rest home (is dat het juiste woord?) for two years now; it was her own choice. She’s glad to be there now, because at home she was alone, while at the rest home there are a lot of people with whom she can talk. People there are free, they can do several things and there also are parties at the rest home regularly. Rosa was happy that we asked her for an interview.

Rpsa went to school until she turned seventeen and she studied office clerk hoe kun je 'office clerk' studeren, dat is een functie toch?and dactilo(dactilo daar weet ik de vertaling ni van!!!). Rosa had four brothers and one sister . She married when she was 23 and had 2 sons and 5 grand children herself
Rosa's husband died too soon, he was only 58; her mother, on the other hand, died when she was 96.

We also asked Rosa about the second world war, and then all the joy suddenly disappeared. It were really hard times beetje rare zin, 'the ww was not a good time for a lot of people, including her' is miss. beter. Her son was only 1 year old and they had to hide for the German people. Each day they lived in fear. She also lost a brother, he died ofthe consequences of the war. was het een Joodse familie? Hoe is die broer gestorven?
Rosa wasn’t sure, but it may be possible that there is a third world war on its way when we think of the situations in America.

"rest home" moet "nursing home" zijn.

Dan moet 't toch zijn:
...told us that a fortune teller once told her (that) she would become 94 and Rosa really thinks she will!


Verder snap ik deze zin niet zo goed:
There free, they can do several things and there also regular party’s.
Waarom dat 'also'?

Kan je daar niet beter van maken:
The people are free so they can do several things. Sometimes, there are even parties to go to.

Kweet 't ook niet precies, maar kvind dat 'also' zo raar. 't slaat volgens mij nergens op terug.

[marcella2411]

Sorry, dacht dat ik 96 had gelezen, never mind. Wat linda zegt klopt ook, ook haar suggestie over die zin is erg goed, dan is de zin makkelijker te begrijpen. sux 6 d'rmee. KizZ mArceLlA!!!

Je kan ook zeggen: and Rosa really believes in it!

En "will become" is beter, want ze is toch nog niet dood? En ze moet moet nog 94 worden. Dit kan je best zeggen, ook al is datgene wat de fortune-teller (er moet dus een streepje tussen fortune en teller) in de verleden tijd. Het gaat namelijk om de waarzegger, maar om het het feit dat ze 94 zal worden.

O, en trouwens, heb je haar nu alleen geinterviewd of met iemand samen? De ene keer zeg je 'I' en de volgende keer weer 'we'.

She wasn’t sure, but it may be possible that there is a third world war on his itsway when we think of the situations in America. Maybe something like: she seemed a bit afraid of a Third World War because of the current situation in the US (--> America is het continent)

Rosa thinks that the world has changed for the better. Doctors know more and people live longer now.

When we asked her what age she wants to reach, she laughed, she told us that once a fortune teller has said, she would become 94 and she really believes it!

En wat anderen ook al zeiden, 't is af en toe wel erg letterlijk vanuit het Nederlands vertaald.

Nee, het moet wel zijn wat zij d8. Als volgende woord namelijk begint met een letter die als een klinker klinkt, schrijf je an, anders a. eighty begint met een klinker, dus schrijf je an.

Nee. She's been in the rest home kan prima. Als je zou zeggen She's been being (klinkt al helemaal geweldig ) kan het niet...
