Hi, I'm Rose. I'm a student living in Western America. My first (and only fluent) language is English. I'm minoring in French, and I've decided to pick up Dutch as well. My best friend speaks Dutch, and I think it's a really neat language. I'm looking for someone to have conversations with in French or Dutch so I can practice.

    Courriel professionel Madame, Monsieur, Je m’appelle Rose [nom de famille], et je suis étudiante aux Etats-Unis à [université]. Je fais une thèse sur la littérature de la guerre algérienne, particulièrement sur les histoires racontées par les groupes marginalisés (comme les femmes, les minorités religieuses, etc.). Je vous écris pour savoir s’il y a un ou plusieurs professeurs de votre université qui s'intéressent à ce sujet et qui parleraient avec moi au téléphone ou sur Skype pour quinze ou vingt minutes. J'espère que vous pardonnez mes erreurs grammaticales ; le français n’est pas ma langue maternelle. Dans l’attente de votre réponse, je vous prie d'agréer, Madame, Monsieur, mes salutations distinguées. Rose [nom de famille]

    1. We don't really have a word for that. You would probably say "the person (or man/woman) at the airport". 2. "Customer Service" is usually the name of the department that deals with issues like warranty. Again, you would probably say "the person at the ___ store". 3. Banker 4. Librarian I would say the rule of thumb is, if there is a specific word for a person who works at a place, use that. If there isn't, say "the person at the ___". The word "clerk" is somewhat dated. It's used in formal situations, but in everyday language, I don't use it. But it is comprehensible; an English speaker will understand what you mean if you use the word "clerk" in any of the situations you described.

    À la plage Le week-end dernier, je suis allée à la plage. Mon meilleur ami Nick a invité beaucoup des amis de son école, et aussi des amis de mon école. Nous faisions un feu de joie (je m'étais brûlée la jambe un peu). Nous faisons cuire des hot-dogs et des Chamallows. J'ai joué en l'eau. Une fille a apporté sa mandoline. Nick a essayé jouer à la mandoline parce qu'il fait du violon et le violon est similaire à la mandoline. Nous restions à la plage jusqu'à 20h. Je m'amusais beaucoup.

    Help please it's really important

    So for school I have to make a text, please correct my mistakes thx :) Please it's really important.

    1/ A Mobile
    A long time ago it was only used to call, it was unmoving.
    Nowadays it is used to call, send text messages and do many other things.  It's portable.
    In the future, it may change shape according to the situation. It might become a watch or a bulb. it will depend.

    2/ A TV
    In the old days it was a simple tv which projected images.
    Now we have 3D TV. With it, we can have the feeling of being in the movie, while just being passive.
    In the future, we could have the feeling of really be a part of the movie. We'll feel the actions and everything.

    3/ An Mp3 player
    Back in the past it was a record player which needed a CD, it was massive.
    Then the mp3 player taken place, it has the same role but it's more little and it doesn't need a CD, but it needs a headphone.

    4/ A GPS
    A few years ago it was a map
    Now it's digital
    Later, it could bring the car directly to the desired place. 

    Thanks a lottttt

     

    Votre information au sujet des MP3 Players n'a pas raison. <<http://www.recovercamcorder.com/images/recover-deleted-files-from-mp3-music-player.jpg>> est un photo d'un MP3.  Au present, beacoup de gens n'utilisent pas les MP3.  Les iPods sont plus populaires.


    Vos phrases sont tres longues.  En anglais, on n'utilise pas les phrases si longues.  Cela n'a pas d'importance quand on parle, mais en ecrivant, c'est tres important.  Votre vocabulaire est tres impressionant.  Bon travail!

    (Je suis desolee si le francais n'est pas bon)

    Mijn favoriet boek Mijn favoriet boek is "Papier Steden." De auteur van het boek is John Green. Hij is Amerikaans. Het boek is over een jongen genoemed Quentin die vind een meisje leuk. Het meisje is genoemed Margo. Margo weglopt en Quentin zoekt voor haar. Hij gelooft dat zij naar de papier steden gaat. De papier steden zijn steden dat op een kaart bestaan, maar zij bestaan niet werkelijk. "Papier Steden" is een goede boek en ik het beveel.

    First part: text about literature

    Hello! Here is a text I wrote about literature! I hope there aren’t too many mistakes!
    We have to wonder about the following question: why and how can we say that an author is present in his texts as an “I” and that he has an “eye” for writing?
    First of all, the poet uses his writing skills to speak about himself and his story. He uses stylistic devices such as metaphors, meaning that he removes a thing from its first identity by using another name to speak about it, in order to create a picture. The author can use it to speak about himself without clearly saying that he is the character (by because of bashfulness, maybe) or it’s even a way to give his text a poetic quality. In the case of William Butler Yeats’ poem “The Cat and the Moon” for example, the author tells the story of a cat connected to the moon, which is actually being the metaphor for of his relationship with the women he loves. In that case, the metaphor is even a personification. This use of the stylistic devices allows him to speak about his feelings.
    There’s something else about the author talking about himself: he actually tells us who he is in the way he tells the story: For example Arthur C. Clarke uses a very precise scientific vocabulary in his science fiction stories: he was himself very fond of sciences and was a part of a scientific review for example, also he helped some scientific projects such as the invention of the satellites and others...

     

    Très bon travail!  Votre phrases sont très longues; en anglais, on n'utilise pas souvent des phrases longues.  Mais vous écrivent plus bien que beaucoup des étudiants américains (je suis étudiante dans les États-Unis, et il y a des étudiants de ma classe d'anglais qui ne peuvent pas écrire aussi bien que vous).

    My dream house

    For those who are wealthy, buying a sophisticated house is not an issue. However, most people must deal with their own shabby flats in the city. But have you ever considered a little cottage surrounded by nature? Actually, that is my only dream house.

    To begin with, I cannot abide disturbing noises from the city. All I need is to look through a window and gape at a breath-taking landscape ablaze with greenness and serenity. Moreover, it must be small, for a gargantuan house can fill my mind with confusion. Besides, I would not like to be troubled with any neighbors. The only person I want to remain beside me is my lover since any house in her company becomes wonderful.

    I would decorate it with my paintings as it is to contain every single piece of my essence. Furthermore, the ceiling and the walls must be painted with a cerulean blue combined with pure white color. Any other color can shake my emotions with alacrity because of my extreme sensibility. Lastly, since I love animals, I would like to be welcomed when entering into the house by hundreds of birds flying freely over the furniture and above my head.

    To sum up, what I need is a small house away from any city so as to devote my entire life in love, serenity and devotion. As John Lennon said: “All you need is love”, and you are allowed to say I am too romantic and idealistic, but leave me alone with my house.

     

    It's very good! Your vocabulary is great.  I know native English speakers who don't know all those words.

    "Level up" is used mostly in video games and computer games when someone finishes one level and moves on to another. You don't need the "to," but it's not incorrect to have it. "Sounds like a plan" means "That seems like a good plan." "It's a go, then" means that the plan will be put into action. It means that the order has been given to go ahead with the plan.
