Dear S.,

How are you? I hope, you and your family are fine.

Here is very warm. It’s about 30°C! It hasn’t been rained since a week. A lot of people spend their free time near to water. There are a river named K. here and some swimming pools. I don’t know why, but I don’t really like swimming. Maybe because I’m not good at it. I like sitting on the shore and looking at the water or reading a book. When I was a child or later a teenager, I didn’t like reading, but now I adore it! I like reading about other countries, their culture and history, their people. It’s so exciting to get to know the way of life of different people, their way of thought!

Next Monday I’m starting my apprenticeship as an office assistant and secretary for foreign languages. I’m very exciting of it! I like foreign languages and I’m looking forward to learning them. Maybe I can write you in French one day!

Sorry, but I have to finish.

Hope to hear from you again.



Take care,

C."

10^th of August / August 10/

Dear S.,

How are you? I hope, you and your family are fine.

It is very warm here (beginne den Satz lieber mit dem Subjekt). It’s about 30°C! We haven’t had rain for ("for" bei Zeitspanne, "since" bei Zeitpunkt) a week. A lot of people spend their free time near the water ("nedaleko ot" = "near"). There is a river named K. here and there also are some swimming pools. I don’t know why, but I don’t really like swimming. Maybe because I’m not good at it. I like sitting on the shore ("shore" ist nicht falsch, bedeutet aber eher Meerufer, "Flussufer" ist "riverbank") and looking at the water or reading a book. When I was a child or later a teenager, I didn’t like reading, but now I adore it! I like reading about other countries, their culture and history, their people. It’s so exciting to get to know the way of life of different people, their way of thinking (feststehender Ausdruck)!

Next Monday I’ll begin/start (Present Progressive als Ausdruck für festgeplante Handlungen in der nahen Zukunft ist ganz richtig. ABER "start" ist ausgerechnet ein Verb, das man schlecht in die Verlaufsform setzen kann, weil ein Start ja per se zeitlich sehr begrenzt ist. Du fängst an und dann tust es es, das Anfangen ist ganz schnell vorbei.) my apprenticeship as an office assistant and secretary for foreign languages. I’m very excited about it! ("excited" = "aufgeregt", exciting" = "aufregend") I like foreign languages and I’m looking forward to learning them. Maybe I can write you in French one day!

Sorry, but I have to go now. (Redewendung)

Hope to hear from you again.



Take care,

Hi Chloe, hatte gerade etwas Zeit und habe deshalb die Anmerkungen kommentiert. Wenn Du Fragen hast: nur zu!

Hello Duckduck!

Thank you so much for your correction and remark! I don't have any question at the moment.

I heard about different ways to say something in future and I'd like to use it, but it isn't easy to do it without mistakes.

With best wishes,
Chloe

P.S. Do you speak Russian fluently?
