Saturday

On Saturdays I don't usually get up early. I sleep until nine or ten. Then I go to the bathroom, I take a shower and brush my teeth. After this I make a cup of coffee and have breakfast. Then I study, as I do on all of my days off. At the moment I am studying for the CAE Certificate.

I always listen to music while doing this. I only eat something when I am hungry. I haven't got fixed times for lunch or dinner. In the afternoon I do the housework which had not been done during the week. This takes me an hour or two.

In the evening when I get tired of learning I go on the internet to see who's online on Skype. Usually I call a close friend and we talk about God and the world. Normally it is already dark by then and after the internet call I love it to go for a walk. I love it to feel the city becoming colder at night. It is a special feeling when the lights are on and everything outside the gleam of light is dark. My brain then relaxes again and I calm down from all the busy things I did during the day.

Late in the evening I sometimes watch TV shows, for example about space or the US Army. I often go to bed on Saturdays between one o'clock and three o'clock in the morning. After each time I have it managed to get a new certificate I visit all my friends. They are mostly happy to see me again. They always ask then where I was the last couple of months and I usually answer that I was at home and then I tell them about my new certificate and what I am able to do now.

They would never understand why I am doing this stuff. It is because I one day want to get a better paying job with more responsibility. And who knows perhaps my boss will tell me one day that I have to travel to the USA or England or elsewhere for a business trip. I surely will be a little older then but it is never too late.

Hi Lorenz,

Wie geht es Ihnen? This is very good.

The green highlighting means it's a suggested change, perhaps relating to style issues. They are suggestions.

Orange highlighting means there is a grammatical error or a syntactical error. They are strong suggested changes.

Blue means it's a point of interest and explained below:

I haven't got---I think this is correct British and Canadian English, thus proper English. I never use constructions like this but I employ American English and I don't usually hear this. Can someone else weigh in on this?

Everything outside the gleam of light is dark---I am not sure what the sense of what you are trying to say is there. Could you clarify please?

I hope this is close to complete. Since you asked me to correct your essay I wanted to do it before I went to work. I have sent you a message as well.

Tschüs!
William
