Essay / first meeting at school
Message de citron-amere posté le 17-01-2010 à 22:27:46 (S | E | F)
Bonjour j'ai du faire un devoir (type bac)sur la suite d'un texte qui racontait l'arrivée d'un élève à une préstigieuse nouvelle école...il attends un autre élève qui doit partager son dortoir et le voit arrivé dans une grosse voiture, avec une radio portable (le texte se passe dans les années 60) tout qui indique qu'il vient d'une famille aisée et qu'il est méprisant...Le sujet donc, doit raconter leur première rencontre...
J'aimerai que vous m'aidiez à trouver les fautes éventuelles si il y en a =)...Et m'aidez à enrichir certaine phrase...Mes phrases sont souvent très simplistes et dans une optique de bac il est bon d'utiliser certaines structures...Que je ne sais pas utiliser --'...
Our first meeting in the room (wich was to our battlefield during 3 mouths) was memorable. I remember perfectly. I wasn’t shy…No, just a little stress to meet for the first time, my new comrade of dormitory. I sat down on my bed and I cleaned nervoustly the dust of my Uniform. I imagined our life in this room. He was rich, yes…But he could be cool…
Will opened the door and he looked me up and down with Contempt . He had reconized me.
« Oh…You » he said suspiciously
The same indifference…
« Hi! » I answered mockingly .
« Good morning…Can you Help me? » He said wearily.
I answered nothing and our first conversation stoped here…I didn’t like
prétensious peoples…I didn’t like rich peoples…But I helped him to take his
heavy suitcase and his transistor radio.
« It’s the travel…he’s tired » I tell myself. But I didn’t believe to this supposition.
He’s just a rich and pretentious student who play indifference with me because I didn’t lot of money like him. Will sat down on his bed and he player the transistor…The sound became bad…And the radio stopped abruptly.
« I hope it isn’t broken. » I said kindly.
« It dosent matter…I’ve an other » Will answered quietly. He opened his luggages and he took an other transistor radio.
« Have you got many others? » I continued, stunned by his weath.
« My father gives me all I want » he answered
A silence…I thought to my own father.
« What’s his job? » I asked
« He’s a boss…He managed a company wich builds buildings…I believe » he
answered, probable boring by my questions.
I didn’t say anything…I understood.
« Where are the toiletts » he replied.
« I don’t know… »
It was the end of an imaginary happy life.
Merci d'avance =)!

I sat down on my bed and I cleaned nervously the dust off my Uniform.
- Position of adverb: "...I nervously cleaned.."
« Good morning…Can you Help me? » He said wearily.
- In English, speech is usually enclosed in quotation marks (e.g. "Hi," I said.) rather than in "«...»" .
- There probably would not be a capital letter for "He", as the "?" functions more as a comma here than as a full stop.
I didn’t like rich people…But I helped him to take his heavy suitcase and his transistor radio.
- "carry" is better than "take" here - if you put "take", there inevitable question is "where?", and you haven't supplied a destination.
« It’s the travel…he’s tired » I told myself. But I didn’t believe this supposition.
- I think you probably mean "journey" rather than "travel" (see dictionary for the difference). You would probably get away with "travelling", though".
- "Supposition" is a very formal word in English - you could perhaps say "statement", although that too is quite formal, or simply leave "this".
He’s just a rich and pretentious student who plays indifference with me because I haven’t(manque got)a lot of money like him.
- "got" is not necessary, but optional.
- I'm not sure what you mean by "plays indifference" - do you mean "acts indifferently"
Will sat down on his bed and he played the transistor.
- you can't really just say "transistor" if you mean "transistor radio" - this wouldn't be understood by most people.
- you don't really "play" a radio - you play a song, but you "turn on" a radio
« My father gives me all everything I want » he answered
- "all everything" doesn't exist - just "everything" will do here.
« He’s a a manager…He managed a company which builds buildings…I believe »
- repetition of "a"
- "builds buildings" sounds a bit strange - perhaps "he managed a building company, I think"?
