Kann man das so schicken? (Englisch LK 11/2)

Title: “Happier than Ever“

I grew up watching the world from the sidelines. I learned when I was young that the world is just like a big cafeteria table I was not welcome at. I was an odd child- to say the least. Making up my own stupid little songs. Cutting myself bangs with the scissors I found in Mom’s drawer. Walking up to people when they’re sad and hugging them silently. An odd child- to say the least. It didn’t get me many friends. Obviously. The one friend I had was just as pathetic. So embarrassing. Honestly. I’m glad we grew apart. She’s still walking around with stupid sunflower clips in her hair. She’s still humming that little song we made up as kids. She’s annoying. Honestly. She thinks people like her for “who she is.” She has like 2 friends. Who would listen to her? She said I changed. She said that “I’m not being myself anymore“. But I know better. I didn’t change, I adapted. And that way I will be more successful and happy than her. 

It is the night before the new school year starts, so I lie down in bed, close my eyes and let the thoughts flow.

You must make friends. Do whatever it takes. It doesn’t matter if you’re not being yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re uncomfortable. Do you seriously want to spend your school years all alone? Is that really what you want to happen? Wake up to a million spam emails yet not a single message from a friend? Not a single missed call? Not a single message asking “Are you coming today?” Is that seriously what you will let happen? No. Pull yourself together and fit in. You must fit in. If you don’t you’ll be an outcast again. No one will sit next to you in class. You will spend your breaks alone waiting for them to end while the others wish they’d never do. You will watch everybody laugh. Watch everybody hang out. Everybody be happy.

You must fit in. It doesn’t matter what it takes. Remember 7th grade? I’m sure you do. Do you want to repeat that cycle? Is your life just one long pitiful cycle? A cycle of being excluded, tolerated, yet not wanted. Accepted, yet not wished for. It’s pathetic how hard you’re trying. How hard you’re trying to be someone else, yet still manage to fail. But this time will be different because you realized something. Nobody is being themselves. Nobody. Then why should you be? It’s embarrassing to think anybody cares about your true self. Honestly. All those TV shows are making you delusional. Stop believing in that stupid fairytale where anybody cares about who you actually are. You are just a character to be played. Don’t play it the right way and you will end up alone. Do you want that to happen? No. Think about how much better everything will be. You will be happy. You will never be lonely again. Never again. People will look up to you. Admire you. Maybe even envy you. Every single day will not feel like a burden. You will not feel like a burden. You will stop being a burden. People will love you for who you are. Even if it isn’t the real you. The real you was always cut out to be a loser anyway. To be an outcast and alone. To be a pathetic nothing who no one likes. If you don’t want to be that person anymore then read your stupid books in private. Watch that stupid show in secret. No one cares about it anyway. Stop talking so much about things no one cares about. Do you seriously think the world revolves around yourself? Are you seriously that pathetic? You narcissist. It’s funny, hide that. Now think. What do they want to hear? What do they expect from you? Is it coolness? Nonchalance? Funniness? Whatever it is, you must be it. Don’t show yourself. You must fit in. People will expect different things from you. You must be versatile. Be whatever they want you to be. Be yourself in secret.

“Have a nice day too.” I smile back softly to my dear friend as I go home and lie down in bed. I look at my phone. 2 missed calls, 12 new messages. Perfect. A hard day of fitting in. Totally worth it though. I have friends. I’m fitting in. I’m amazing. Happier than ever. I finally feel… empty? Whatever. Now I can be myself. 

But when I look into the mirror I don’t recognize my self. Was she right? 

And now the lights are off, the chairs are empty and I’m all alone. No one is watching, yet why do I keep acting?

Present Perfect Simple oder Simple Past?

Hallo

Am Freitag schreibe ich Englisch-Schularbeit. Ein Thema sind unteranderem die oben genannten Zeiten. An sich verstehe ich es ja:

Wenn eine Handlung zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt in der Vergangenheit passiert ist, dann benötige ich das Past Simple (und noch ein paar andere Regeln)

Wenn eine Handlung zu einem unbestimmten Zeitpunkt in der Vergangenheit passiert ist, dann benötige ich das Present Perfect Simple.

Aber bei folgenden Sätzen bin ich mich nicht sicher:

I washed the dishes yesterday, but (not/have) the time yet to do it today

Yes, but we (not/have) time to talk then.

Beim ersten Satz bin ich mir nicht sicher, auf welches Signalwort es ankommt. Yet ist ein Signalwort für das Present Perfect Simple. Today ist ein Signalwort für die Past Simple. Welches muss ich dann wählen?

Beim zweiten Satz ist eventuell auch der Satz vorher wichtig:

Did you not see Luca at school in the morning?

Brauche ich daher beim nächsten Satz das Past Simple? Da im vorherigen Satz die Rede von heute Früh ist. Oder das Present Perfect Simple, da in dem Satz, beidem ich mir nicht sicher bin, keine spezifische Zeit außer then genannt wird.

Danke für eure Antworten. Eventuell hat noch wer Tipps zu diesen zwei Zeiten, bspw. worauf ich noch achten muss.

Wie findet ihr diese Geschichte (Englisch)?

Ich habe diese Kurzgeschichte für den Englisch-Unterricht geschrieben. Das Thema müsst ihr nicht unbedingt beachten, aber ich würde gerne wissen, wie ihr es sprachlich findet und so.

He hadn't seen anything like it in twenty years of teaching. Mr. Smiths most quiet Student, Laramie broke his silence in the most unbelievable way possible. On a regular tuesday, in Mr Smiths math lesson, Out of nowhere, he started screaming like a maniac. Not words, but bloodcurdling, painful sounding screams. The chatter in the class was disrupted, everyone was silenced in a heartbeat. All eyes were on the siren in the room. After being stunned for a few seconds, Mr. Smith finally opened his mouth. "Laramie, what is wrong with you?! Stop screaming!" Laramie did the opposite. He got louder and louder, causing some students to hold their ears, a girl started crying. While this was happening, Laramie himself looked absolutely terrified. There was fear in his eyes, and tears started to dwell, like he wasnt doing it on purpose, like he was being controlled. Then, the screaming stopped. Laramie still looked a little confused, but relieved at the same time. Until it started. Laramie started shaking uncontrollably, it seemed like the whole classroom was rumbling. A lot of kids started screaming, some ran out of the room. Smoke started coming out of Laramies ears, while he was hopelessly screaming for help. Other Students hid under their desks, while Mr. Smith ran over to Laramie, trying to calm him. "Hey Laramie, whats wrong? Talk to me, do you need an Ambulance?" Then, the pulsating began. Laramies Body started bloating, and then deflating, really quickly, like someone starting to inflate a balloon, and then stopping. That seemed to be the final stage. A few seconds later, Laramie exploded. Blood and Flesh splattered everywhere, hitting the few students, that were not hiding under their desks, painting the walls red. To this Day, Nobody that was in the classroom that day can explain, what happened to Laramie. The Only thing that reminds of him, is the door to the classroom, that is now blocked with bricks, seperating the outside world from the room, where a boy exploded.

HALLO LEUTE HILFE DRINGEND SCHREIBE IN 8 Stunden Klausr....?

Das ist ein Text was ich so geschrieben hab.. Chat Gpt meinte, dass die Struktur sprunghaft ist und das Ausdruck sehr schlecht ist. Das sagt auch meine Lehrerin zu mir.. also wie kann ich genau meine Texte verbessern?

Hier ist ein Text von mir:

Auszug woraus ich einen Text erstellen muss

The text, "Data for people: How to make our post-privacy economy work for us" written by Andreas Weigend talks about the role of technology in a typical day in the author's life. The author uses a lot of techniques like tone, mood and style to help convey his neutral attitude towards technology as well as help keep his audience engaged.

The author’s tone helps convey the authors neutral attitude towards technology. The clear lack of variety in how he describes his routine and how the digital systems help complete his daily tasks hint a neutral attitude. He doesn't necessarily use direct adjectives that might connote a liking towards technology or adjectives with negative connotations. However, there are exceptions for example in line 21 he seems quite annoyed with the traffic system. The phrase, "again and again" shows his annoyance and his feelings of being irritated. Similarly phrases like in an instant" in line 31 show his satisfaction with technology and digital systems. At times the author gives reference to his criticism on technology discretely, for example the last line " Welcome to the digital revolution" sounds ironic. The tone also affects the mood evoked.

 The mood evoked by the text is also neutral. The author doesn’t necessarily refer to obvious wins that were possible through technology. However we  we read his experience with technology, we do get the feeling that technology can impact life positively when used in the right way. This is particularly evoked by words like "in an instant" in line 31 which also highlights how advanced technology has become. The phrase "eager to start the day" particularly gives the effect of technology easing one's duties which in turn results in the raising of one's spirits. Phrases like "again and again" highlights the drawback of technology and makes some digital systems seem like a discomfort. Such references make allows room for the assumption, that the author might share a positive attitude in technology. While the mood was mainly affected by the tone of the text, the style of the author helped keep the audience hooked to the text.

The author's style also helps keep the reader engaged and helps convey the author's attitude towards technology effectively. The author's use of hyphens helps contrast the general opinion from the author's experience. This gives the test clarity and helps the attitude understandable for the reader.

The author's structure also helps convey the overall attitude. The logical division of paragraphs in time-stamps helps the reader get a better understanding of the author’s neutral mindset and stay intact. While the structure played a massive role in engaging the reader, the informal register also helps alleviate the significance of the author’s stance.

 The register is informal, since the author mainly uses the personal pronoun, ,,I" which also helps with the message coming across, etc. Furthermore, the author also uses contractions like, "I'm" in line 20 and "Ill" in line 38. All this makes text feel like a conversation between the author and the reader, ultimately making it engaging.

All in all the author's neutral tone and the hopeful mood evoked by the text made technology feel promising when used effectively, etc.  The lack of variation in word choice made the text seem a bit blunt, but the unique structure and the hyphens etc. made the text attractive and clearer.

Englisch wie macht man eine Bilderbeschreibung?

Hallo! Ich habe bald meine Englisch Mündliche Prüfung (7. Klasse) und ich weiss irgendwie nicht wie ich Bilder beschreiben soll, irgendwie hört sich das bei mir so leblos an und ich komme auch nicht auf die 2 Minuten. Ich zeige euch kurz mal ein Bild:

(Leider schlechte Qualität, falls man es nicht erkennt, links: Frau bei dem Strand, trägt Sommer Klamotten und im Meer sind paar Vögel. Rechts: Mann, beim Strand, liegt auf dem Boden und hat einen Laptop auf dem Boden)

Ich würde das jetzt so beschreiben:

Hello, I am going to describe these 2 pictures now. In the picture on the left you can see a woman walking on the beach, the woman is on the left-hand-corner of the picture. On the right hand corner of the picture you can see some seagulls flying around the water. The woman seems to be watching the seagulls. I can see that the woman wears summer clothes and the weather seems to be good, since it's not raining. I am now going to describe the picture on the right: I can see a man laying on the beach with this laptop. (Keine Ahnung was ich noch sagen könnte)

Diese Bilder sind von unserer Lehrerin

Könnt ihr mir sagen wie ich das besser beschreiben kann?

Danke für jede Hilfe,

LG
