Danke schonmal an alle die mir dabei helfen.....

A road trip


It was the first weekend of summer and the Christmas holidays, and we were excited. Four good friends on their first road trip into the outback!
No parents for a week! It was just my best friend Donovan (the star rugby player), Dani (his nice but princess-like girlfriend), Ruby (my girlfriend and the school's cleverest girl) and me, Angelo. I've always been quite the worry wart, and I wasn't sure this road trip was the best idea. Two guys and two girls- was this going to work in the outback? But it was summer, school was over, so I didn't care. I should have. Four friends left together on that Sunday, and four friends returned to Sydney a week later. But not the same four people...

Me and my friends were on a trip from Sydney to Adelaide. After a very bad night in Sydney, where I didn't slept well, I started to pack my bag at seven
o' clock. After a good breakfast with my friends we packed our car, which we have lent by a car renter. So the long way to Adelaide started. On the trip we told us scary and funny histories and joke. It's a good thing to drive away the bordon, because the landscape in very hopeless and boring.
In a deserted area suddenly our car made bad noises. First we didn't worry
about that, because there was much stones, which jumped against the car. But suddenly there was a big bang. We couldn't gave more gas. So we looked under the hood to the problem. After three hours they have still not found a solution. Nous we had to decide whether we wait for a helper, or even seek a settlement or city. After a long discussion to search we decided to search for activity and went immediately to the path. After a long walk, we saw a green piece in the desolate landscape. We were looking there for help. But suddenly we heard a strange noise. There were people, but no normal people, there were Aboriginals. Both we and the Aboriginals were surprised. They have not seen many white people. But they were very nice to use and immediately took care of us and gave us something to eat. We were there for five days and got to the Aboriginals who live in and with nature. After the fifth day they took us then to a busy route. The passing wasn't easy, but we have learned a lot. Many people have thought that we would have died. Already worry newspapers had articles written about us the ,,Missing“. According to our returning all asked us how we had survived. Then we said only: The Aboriginals have helped us to survive.


When we got home we saw the world differently than before. They must necessarily and protect. So we decide to write a book about our experience. The title is:,,Survive in the wildness“. In this book we have written down all our experiences and started that the nature of the people is the most important.

A road trip


It was the first weekend of our summer and Christmas holidays, and we were excited. Four good friends on their first road trip into the outback!
No parents for a
whole week! There was just my best friend Donovan (the star rugby player), Dani (his nice but princess-like girlfriend), Ruby (my girlfriend and the school's cleverest girl) and me, Angelo. I've always been quite a worry wart / rather pessimistic, and I wasn't sure this road trip was a good idea. Two guys and two girls in the outback! How (on earth) was that going to work? But it was summer, school was over, so I didn't care. I should have. Four friends left Sydney together on that Sunday, and four friends returned home a week later. But not the same four people...


Me and my friends
(Spoken English) My friends and I were on a trip from Sydney to Adelaide. After a very bad night in Sydney, where I hadn't slept well, I started to pack my bag at seven
o' clock. After a good breakfast with my friends we
stowed our luggage into the car, which we had hired from a car hire firm (BrE). So the long way to Adelaide started. On the trip we told us scary and funny histories and jokes. It's a good thing to drive away the bordon,? (“bordon” kenne ich nicht) because the landscape is very hopeless and boring.
In a deserted area suddenly our car made bad noises. First we didn't worry
about that, because there
were many stones, which had beaten against the car. But suddenly there was a big bang, and we were not able to accelerate any more. So we looked under the hood (AmE) bonnet (BrE) to find what the trouble was. After three hours we had still not found the trouble. Now we had to decide whether to wait for a helper, or even seek a settlement or a city. After a long discussion to search we decided to actively search for any help and started off immediately. After a long walk, we saw a green piece in the desolate landscape. We were looking there for help. But suddenly we heard a strange noise. There were people, but no normal people, there were Aboriginals. Both we and the Aboriginals were surprised. They have not seen many white people. Even so, they were very nice to use and immediately took care of us and gave us something to eat. We were there for five days and got to know the Aboriginals who live in and close to nature. After the fifth day they took us then to a busy route. The passing week wasn't easy, but we have learned a lot. Many people were beginning to think that we had died in the wilderness. Newspapers had already published articles about us, “The Missing“. Everybody
asked ushow we managed to survive. Then we said only: The Aboriginals were our rescuers and helped us to survive.


When we got home we saw the world differently than before.
They must necessarily and protect.?? Was meinst du hier?) So we decided to write a book about all our experiences. The title is: “Survive in the wilderness“. In this book we have written down all our experiences and started by explaining that the nature of the people is the most important.

[/quote]Spannend, so dass ich gerne weiterlesen möchte. Ich nehme an, dass Du die Texte in britischem Englisch schreiben musst. Z.B. BrE = hire a car und AmE rent a car. Frage noch, ob bei diesem Essay Abkürzungen erlaubt sind - z.B. I'm oder I am.

It's a good thing to drive away the bordom. (“bordon” kenne ich nicht)
drive away the bordom
overcome the bordom


When we got home we saw the world through different eyes than before.
We realised that it is necessary to
protect the Aboriginals.

We saw the world with different eyes.

We saw the world through different eyes.


@ Duckduck
Ok, with hört sich hier besser an. Aber da es beide Varienten gibt
möchte ich gerne den Unterschied in der Bedeutung / Verwendung wissen.

Hi Delfino,

also, zunächst war mir die Wendung mit "through" nicht sehr geläufig und ich habe deshalb "einfach mal so" die mir geläufigere vorgeschlagen.
Aber nachdem Du jetzt gefragt hast, habe ich drüber nachgedacht und könnte mit folgendem möglichen Unterschied aufwarten, für dessen absolute Richtigkeit ich aber nicht garantieren kann:

Wenn Du etwas "with different eyes" ansiehst, hat Dich eine Erfahrung, ein Dazulernen o.ä. dazu gebracht, eine vorher gefasste Meinung zu etwas zu ändern. Also Du hast etwas oder jemanden vorher so und so gesehen und dann passiert etwas und Du siehst es/ihn eben anders: "mit anderen Augen".

Wenn Du etwas "through the eyes of sb" ansiehst, nimmst Du dessen Standpunkt/Perspektive ein und betrachtest eine Sache/eine Person aus seinem Blickwinkel, siehst es/ihn "durch seine Augen".

Was meinst Du?

Grüße
Duckduck :prost:
