muss in der Schule über das Thema oben einen "Artikel für ein Schulmagazin" schreiben. So lautet zumindest die Aufgabenstellung.
Es wäre wirklich sehr hilfreich und nett, wenn mir jemand meinen Text durchschauen und die Fehler verbessern könnte.
Take care of your language!
The german language is flooded for many years by an immense number of needlessly English expressions. THe advertisement offers youghurt with "weekend feeling". On television there's the "Kiddie Contest", we smear ourselves "ageing cream" in the face and we hear our music with the "walkman". Denglish is the description for a mixed language, which is composed of German and English words. I'm sure that you have already heard from that issue.
First of all, I would like to show you the pros. One of the main points is that English will some day become the language of all the world. Therefore it's reasonable that we try to respect the new trend. In addition, it gives us the chance to be cosmopolitan. We show respect and friendship to foreign languages when we make our language global. And nowadays globalisation is a very important issue. However, it must also be said that many people are scared. Especially older people who think that they're losing their German identity when English words replace the German. Additionally lots of people don't understand the new language so it's certainly a disadvantage for advertiser too when many people don't understand their advertising slogan and consequently don't buy something.
As far as I am concerned I haven't a problem with Denglish, so I can't define if it's a blessing or a blight. We growed up with this trend and we understand it because we learned it in school. But we had to comprehend also the opinion of the other people. In my view this mix from English and German vocabularies may not become too much too. Since sometime this also deals nothing more with globalisation.
So, das ist mein Text. Ich habe ihn frei geschrieben - mit Hilfe eines Wörterbuches.
Ich hoffe das steigert meine Chancen, dass er korrigiert wird
Viele Grüße und schon mal vielen vielen Dank!!!
