    Does Instant Tutor Work Anymore? I Need Someone To Check My Translation ASAP French- English

    Hello

    I have not been on Italki for sometime as a student, before I'd be able to find an 'instant tutor' if I needed it, it does not seem to be working or maybe it has changed? Anyway, if there is a French native, or someone with good working knowledge of French  and English who can look at the below and let me know, if this is a good  English translation, if I am on the right lines.

    Thank you!!

    Une démarche spécifique dans la région des Grands Lacs

    Mis en œuvre en coopération avec le COMESA, le Projet de facilitation des échanges commerciaux dans la région des Grands Lacs a pour objectif de remédier aux blocages logistiques et administratifs aux postes frontières surchargés. Il cherche également à réduire la corruption et le harcèlement des commerçants, surtout quand ce sont des femmes, doper les économies locales et régionales et réduire la pauvreté.<o:p></o:p>

    A cet effet, le projet veut apporter des améliorations matérielles et logistiques au niveau des frontières et des installations par le biais de réformes des politiques, de procédures, et d’opérations de renforcement des capacités. Il est ainsi prévu de : (i) financer la construction d’abris pour les commerçants qui font la queue aux frontières ; (ii) installer des tourniquets automatiques pour accélérer le franchissement de la frontière et réduire les contacts physiques (et partant le harcèlement de la part des agents des postes frontaliers) ; (iii) former les douaniers au respect de l’égalité hommes-femmes et d’imposer les fouilles de femmes par des personnes du même sexe.<o:p></o:p>

    Ce projet, même avant résultats, peut inspirer par sa démarche des actions en faveur du commerce transfrontalier de produits agricoles impliquant particulièrement des petits opérateurs notamment du commerce transfrontalier informel. En effet, les actions d’amélioration des conditions de passage des petits opérateurs aux frontières (construction d’abris, mise en place de tourniquets automatiques, obligation de fouilles des opératrices par des agents de contrôle féminins) et d’instauration de la possibilité de porter plainte par le canal d’un numéro vert auprès d’un organisme fiable en cas de tracasseries contribueront à améliorer l’environnement commercial. <o:p></o:p>

     

    English Translation<o:p></o:p>

    <a name="_Hlk5742149">A SPECIFIC STEP IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION<o:p></o:p></a>

    Implemented cooperation with COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa), the plan to facilitate commercial trades in the Great Lakes region, has an objective to correct the logistical and administrative blockages to the overloaded boarder points. It also seeks to also reduce the corruption and harassment of the traders, especially when these are females, boost the local and regional economy, and reduce the poverty.<o:p></o:p>

    With this effect, the plan wishes to bring  improvement to materials and logistics to the standards of the boarders and facilities. Via reforming policies, the procedures, and operations to enhance capacities. It is therefore planned from: (i) funding the building of shelters for traders, who  queue at the boarders, (ii) installing automatic turnstiles to accelerate moving over the boarders and reduce physical contact.  (And, hence harassment from the boarder agents). (iii) form customs of equal respect men-women and impose women’s searches by persons of the same sex.<o:p></o:p>

    This project, even before the results, can inspire by its steps of action in favour of trade on both sides of the boarder of agricultural products, implicate particularly smaller operators. Notably the informal trade on both sides. In effect, the actions of improving the crossing conditions of small operators at the boarders, ( building shelters, putting in place automatic turnstiles, obligatory searches of female operators by female control agents). And, establishing the possibility of making a complaint by the channel of a green number closer to a reliable body, in the event of torment, contribute to improving the business environment.<o:p></o:p>

    French Reading , What Would You Recommend Can anyone recommend any good books to read in French. Ideally nothing too complex, but good for a B1(ish) level student. I really like reading romance, thrillers, sometimes chick lit, historical fiction and crime genre books. But as this is really to pick up vocabulary and get to grips with the language structure /general practice simple fiction books/ short stories or poems will do! Also, I'd like to start reading some online magazines I am a massive fashion, make-up and beauty fan. I like magazines that cover these topics, or real life stories like Take a Break Magazine. Or magazines with news and general coverage on society /current affairs in France or a French speaking country would interest me. I'm not really into celebrity gossip at all. What would you recommend?

    Do Anyone Know Where I Can Watch Plus Belle La Vie or Other French Series? Help! I have started to watch Plus Belle La Vie on Youtube but I can't seem to find full episodes from season 1. I'm watching it with French subtitles to help me keep up with what's going on, as they talk so fast! SO fast I'm starting to wonder if I would ever survive in France with the speed. But I would like to keep going. Also from what I do understand it seems like a show I could really get into, so I'll keep going, but it would be nice to start from the beginning. Secondly, are there any other French series that are worth watching? With subtitles... maybe a slower speed of talking. Thank you

    If I had been born a millionaire

    If I had been born a millionaire, I would have done many things that I always dreamed of.  For example I would have traveling travelled around the world, to see all the seven world wonders. I wish I could see the Great Wall in China Wall, the P pyramids of in Egypt, the Taj Mahal in India, the Great Canyon in the United States and the three others as well. By now, I would have bought a big Y yacht, one of the most luxury luxurious  cars, a mansion and a big jet plane. The only problem is the ''if I had been'' part. If it weren't wasn't for this  it, all of my dreams would might have  possibly probably become true.


    Hope this helps!

    Eat to live or live to eat

    Nowadays an increasing number of people  believe that eating meat and fish can produce  a negative impact on the human body. Some also claim there are several advantages. Fish represents a huge source of vitamins and minerals. In addition the world's healthiest foods are very important, as society generally aims to eat a healthy diet.

     Within our current society members of the general population, have been experimenting with how they  eat. As a result focus groups who focus on advising members of society, on the best  type of diet to maintain have appeared. Some studies have shown that  meat and fish do not have to be included within   the human diet. This is because further research has shown that the  human body  is not designed to digest meat or fish.  The digestive system is designed to  receive only vegetables and fruits. However, there is still an awareness that a huge amount of people still consume meat. As a result big organizations ( organisations UK spelling)  have emerged that  promote eating fruit and vegetables as an alternative.



    On the other hand, recent studies suggest  that  meat and fish are a strong source of vitamins and minerals, that help to  increase a healthy diet.In Japan, fish is considered as a  main source of aliment  I am not sure what you mean here but aliment I don't think is what you are trying to express, maybe that fish can represent more than  food? 


    For centuries,in some ancients cultures such as Inca or Maya, fish has  represented a God, with the ability  to destroy starvation and cure some diseases. To sum up, I firmly agree  that as time has progressed, the human race has maintained their  existence by  eating meat as one of the most important sources of food. The human body needs  specific   nutrients which only can be found  in  the type of nourishment, meat offers.

    I hope this is helpful! An interesting article here :)

    Hi,


    Here is a correction.


    Chicago Fire - Series

    I have been watching the series " Chicago Fire ", I have watched all of  the seasons. I love this series! My favorite ( favourite UK spelling) characters are Gabriela Dawson, Casey and Severide. Dawson and Casey are a perfect couple. Now, I love little Louie also . I think Severide should find a girlfriend for him. He is handsome and a good man.

    Another shows   that  I like also are Chicago Med and Chicago PD. In Chicago Med my favorite  ( favourite UK spelling) character is Natalie, and in Chicago PD it is Antonio. Antonio is Dawson's brother. There are other s brothers characters who are also brothers, for exemple  example  Will Halstead who is a doctor and  Jay Halstead who is a detective.


    Very good! Just remember that there are two spellings for the word favourite. Overall very good effort. I hope this helps
