Vortrag Dublin

[clermp]

Ich muss mal wieder einen Vortarag machen mit einer Freundin über eine europäische Stadt meiner Wahl.
Ich musste nicht so lange überlegen und habe mich für Dublin entschieden. Es wäre nett wenn ihr das verbessern würdet, was ich so ausgearbeitet habe. Die übergänge fehlen noch und ich muss noch etwas zum Thema economic growth, employment/unemployment sowie environmental concerns was raussuchen. Das kommt später,weil ich nicht so genau weis, was ich dort schreiben kann.

Introduction:
Dublin is a wonderful city steeped in rich history and reflects the past with its many magnificent buildings and monuments.

General facts:
The city of Dublin covers a land area of 115 square kilometers.

Location
Ireland is an island that lies in North West Europe, separated from Britain by the Irish Sea. Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland and is Ireland’s largest city. It is located on the east coast of Ireland, overlooking Dublin Bay. The Liffey is the
main river running through the city.

Population
The population of Dublin City and County area is circa 1.1 million.

Climate
Dublin’s climate is mild and changeable, so come prepared for all seasons! Winter temperatures average 7°C (44°F) and in summer between 15° – 20°C (59° – 70°F). There are about 18 hours of daylight daily during July and August, only getting truly dark after 11 pm.

Language
English is the spoken language through Ireland but with it’s own Irish flavour and lilt! Irish
(or Gaelic) is the original native language of Ireland.
Place names and signage are usually in both languages.

History
Dublin's official date of establishment was in 988 A.D. Dublin was founded by the Vikings.
From the 14th to late 16th centuries Dublin and the surrounding area formed the largest area of Ireland under government control.
From the 17th century the city expanded rapidly.
The Easter Rising of 1916 occurred in the city centre, bringing much physical destruction. The Anglo-Irish War and Irish Civil War contributed even more destruction, leaving many of its finest buildings in ruins
Dublin was the scene of some of the most severe fighting of the Irish rebellion of 1916 and of the revolution of 1919 to 1921, which resulted in the establishment of the Irish Free State.
After Independence Dublin became the political, economic, and cultural center of Ireland.

Sights
Kilmainham Jail
Kilmainham Gaol built in 1795. It’s a former prison which is now a museum. Kilmainham Gaol has played an important part in Irish history, as many leaders of Irish rebellions were imprisoned and some executed in the jail. The leaders of the 1916 Ester Rising were executed here. The prison was closed in 1924.

Custom House
The Custom House, designed by James Gandon is an exquisite building and was the cause of much rioting at the time of its construction as it changed the location of much of the cities trading. The building was completed in 1791, only to be burned down by the IRA in 1921. The building has been beautifully restored by the Office of Public Works.
Custom house was the first building built for the public in Dublin. Architecturally it's considered as one of Dublin’s most historical and important building.

Trinity College:
Founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I, Trinity College is Ireland's oldest university and is the learning place of many great thinkers and writer of the world like Jonathan Swift, Samuel Beckett and Oscar Wilde. Decorated with cobbled squares, manicured gardens & grand buildings, the College retains an aura of peace, despite its central location.
The main attraction of the complex is the celebrated Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript dating from around 8th century, which is considered to be one of the oldest books in the world.

Saint Patricks Cathedral

Description:
St Patricks Cathedral is the largest church in Ireland. A wooden church was built on the present site in the 5 th century when Ireland’s patron saint, St Patrick, baptised his first Christian converts at a well on the site. The present church dates from the XII th century.

There are many religious and military artifacts, Ireland's largest organ, and statues of Jonathan Swift and Douglas Hyde, Ireland's first President.

When an argument between two Norman earls, was resolved, a hole was cut in a door to shake hands - this event took place in 1492 and the hole still exists.

Christ Church Cathedral
The Cathedral was founded in the year 1030 by Sitriuc, King of the Dublin Norsemen.
Christ Church Cathedral is one of Dublin's oldest and most recognized landmarks. Dating back to the eleventh century, the Cathedral and the exhibition "Treasures of Christ Church" reflect 1000 years of history, architecture and worship in Ireland. A treasure of Christ Church displays a unique range of manuscripts, historic artefacts and spectacular examples of gold and silverware.

Museums
Dublin Writer's Museum
In 1991, the Dublin Writers Museum was opened to house a history and celebration of literary Dublin.
Situated in a magnificent 18th century mansion in the north city centre, the collection features the lives and works of Dublin's literary celebrities over the past three hundred years.
Swift and Sheridan, Shaw and Wilde, Yeats, Joyce and Beckett are among those presented through their books, letters, portraits and personal items.



Guinness Storehouse

A visit to the home of Guinness is the high point of any trip to Dublin. At the Guinness Storehouse you'll discover all there is to know about the world famous beer.
It's a dramatic story that begins over 250 years ago and ends in Gravity, the sky bar, with a complimentary pint of Guinness and an astonishing view of Dublin City!
The most famous Irish alcoholic drink, Guinness, is brewed in the heart of Dublin at the brewery founded by Arthur Guinness in 1759.

Study in Dublin
Dublin, the capital city of Ireland, has a lengthy and prestigious tradition of education that dates back to the middle Ages. Dublin is an energetic and youthful city. Dublin is home to a number of leading Universities, Colleges and Institutes of Technology which combine to make it a world leader in the areas of Business, Arts, Science and Technology. If you would like to study English, a foreign language or something different Dublin has a wealth of language schools and evening courses to choose from.
Some of the most sought-after Universities of Dublin where quite a good number of foreign students apply every year are:
 American College, Dublin
 DCU or Dublin City University
 DIAS or Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies
 DIT or Dublin Institute of Technology
 The Royal College of Surgeons
 TCD or Trinity College, Dublin
 UCD or University College, Dublin
Courses are generally taught only through English and hence, reasonable knowledge of English language is really an important requirement to pursue an education in Dublin city.

Hier ist meine Korrektur und ich hoffe, dass es noch jemand anschaut.
Bitte für das nächste Mal - nur seitenweise zur Korrektur senden, sonst besteht die Gefahr, dass unerledigt liegen bleibt.

Viel Spass

Ganz prima, informativ und GUT!!!

Kleiner Tipp: es ist völlig OK, dass ihr Informationen aus dem Netz verwendet, aber ihr solltet überlegen, die Formulierungen etwas mehr dem gesprochenen Englisch anzupassen. Wenn ihr zu viele Partizipien am Anfang eines Satzes oder auch innerhalb verwendet, ist das deutlich "literary style", also geschriebene Sprache (located in, bringing a lot of physical, um nur 2 Beispiele zu nennen, ich habe sie mal aufgelöst, OK?). Es ist nicht falsch, aber eben nicht so gut für einen Vortrag geeignet. Dann Schreibweise: artefact vs. artifact, metre vs. meter beides gibt es jeweils, das zweite ist AmE.

Wichtig, der Hinweis auf die englische Invasion fehlt, ihr sprecht nur von der Revolte gegen die Briten!

Prima Vortrag!

[clermp]

Danke euch beiden für eure Hilfe.
Ich schreibe euch mal die genaue Aufgabenstellung.

Europe's future lies in its cities because they are places of growth, energy and educational chances.

Prepare a presentation! (12-15 minutes)
Content: introduction (why did you choose this city)
-general facts,
-historical background (only some important information/figures and dates/educational possibilities
-economic growth and importance in Europe/employment (unemployment)/environmental concerns-places of interest/cultural importance/others

Zu den rot gekennzeichneten Themen weis ich nicht so recht was ich dort schreiben könnte.
Habt Ihr eine Idee?

Keine Panik, da fehlt doch nicht mehr viel. Aber ich verstehe nicht genau, wo Deine Unsicherheit liegt. Bei Wikipedia sind doch die Informationen alle zu haben. Sogar in dem Text, aus dem Du schon zitiert hast, der Punkt 6. Und dann gib bei google noch mal Dublin environment ein und gleich unter dem ersten Eintrag wirst Du fündig.
Schreib nur nicht zu wortwörtlich ab, Lehrer gucken spaßeshalber auch mal nach...
Und wenn Du es dann geschrieben hast, stellst Du es ein und alles wird gut!!!

Environment
Ireland has a well-deserved reputation as a country with a high quality environment.
The environment of Dublin, which is taken to be the built and natural environment, is a rich and varied resource.
Energy:
Sustainable development requires that the use of fossil fuels - oil, coal and peat - should be reduced and replaced by renewable resources, such as solar, timber, wind and water power. This will help reduce carbon emissions, thus improve air quality and health. Dublin is currently dependent on fossil fuel usage, despite the fact that there are ample opportunities now available to cut down its use and that Ireland has signed up to international agreements to cut down on the use on non-renewable resources .
Air Pollution
Ireland as a whole may be relatively free of air pollution, when compared with other more industrialised countries.

Common Effects of Air Pollution
The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous. Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings, and also severely affects natural ecosystems. Often invisible, air pollutants in the air create a variety of dangers. They usually come from combustion from heating, power generation or from traffic fumes. Serious problems can result from these pollutants and they can also travel long distances and can chemically react in the atmosphere to produce secondary pollutants such as acid rain or ozone.

Water
Dublin is a City surrounded by water - rivers, canals, Dublin Bay, ponds, reservoirs, water drains and of course the rain!. Scarcity and misuse of fresh water pose a serious and growing threat to sustainable development and protection of the environment. Human health and welfare, food security, industrial development and the ecosystems on which they depend, are all at risk, unless water and land resources are managed more effectively in the present decade and beyond than they have been in the past. The Greater Dublin Region consumes 110 million gallons of drinking water per day. This puts an enormous strain on the water supply to meet an ever-increasing demand.


Recycling
Recycling involves preventing the disposal of materials that are considered to be waste and making them into new goods. Many materials that are disposed of in the dustbin can be recycled or reused in some way. It's important to know the closest recycling centre to you. Recycling centres accept everything from glass, cans, paper, plastics, and textiles to fridges, mobile phones and batteries and for the most part materials are accepted free of charge.

Economy
The Economy of Dublin is centralised in the capital city of Ireland. As
such, Dublin is the largest city and the country's main economic hub.
Most government agencies and the machinery of government including the
parliament are based there. Dublin is the focal point of Irish media and
culture, the countries transportation networks are centred upon the city.
Seen as something of a backwater on the surrounding of Europe, Dublin has
in recent years become a minor world financial centre and the European
base for many multinational corporations. Dublin today is seen as a
vibrant, cosmopolitan place, with a high standard of living.

Hi clermp!
Ich will Dir ja nicht zu nahe treten, aber nachdem ich mir den ersten Teil Deiner Arbeit ja genau angesehen habe, vermute ich mal, dass Du an diesem nicht viel -fast nichts- selbst formuliert hast. Das kann mir ganz egal sein, aber wenn ich es merke, dann wird es Dein Lehrer oder wer auch immer sich den Vortrag anhört, auch merken, denn der kennt ja Dein Sprachvermögen. Außerdem haben wir bei diesem Text wieder deutlich das Problem, dass es ein Lesetext ist, keiner für die gesprochene Sprache. Ich meine jetzt nicht, dass Du hier Fehler einbauen sollst, aber ich wollte Dich zumindest darauf hinweisen. Nichts für ungut, OK?

Duckduck

[clermp]

Ich verstehe dich ja. Mein Problem ist, das ich das nicht so gut selbst formulieren kann und deswegen die texte die ich im Internet finde so stehen lasse, außer das ich sie krze, weil es sonst zu lang wäre. Ich weis ich nicht wie ich das ändern soll. Tut mir leid.

[Duckduck (Contributor)]

Hi clermp,

es gibt keinen Grund für ewige Zerknirschung, Du hast gute Anlagen im Englischen, jetzt fehlt Dir einfach die Übung. Formulieren und Gedanken ausdrücken, das kann man trainieren, wenn man sich etwas Arbeit damit macht. Also mein Tipp: Nicht erst, wenn ein Vortrag oder ein Aufsatz in der Schule oder Ausbildung gefordert ist anfangen, mal einen Text zu verfassen. Mach das ruhig zwischendurch mal und poste hier was. Das muss ja nicht immer ein riesig langer Text sein, 10 Sätze zu irgendeinem Thema reichen. Aber die Gefahr, dass in einer Prüfung die Diskrepanz zwischen Deiner allgemeinen Sprachkompetenz und einem solchen "Fremdtext" auffällt, ist sehr groß.

Alles wird gut, ich wollte auch nicht meckern, nur einen Hinweis geben...

Liebe Grüße
Duckduck

[clermp]

OK, danke Ratschläge nehme ich doch gerne an.

Soll ich jetzt alles mit eigenen Worten formulieren?

Achso in meiner Einleitung möchte ich sagen: Today ..... and I are giving a talk about the European City Dublin. We have decided this city, because Dublin is steeped in rich history, and reflects the past with its many magnificent buildings and monuments.
