Frage zu Englisch?
Hii, ich habe eine Frage zu Englisch. Kann pls jmd drüber lesen (ob Grammatik& Rechtschreibfehler sind). das ist eine summary
The text "America and Americans" was written by John Steinbeck. As the title suggests, the text is about the Americans, the past and the American dream.
The author introduces the text with a quote. The quote is "E pluribus Unum". This is the motto of the United States and it corresponds to the fact. America is a country where many different people live together, of all races. America is a unit and came into being in just over four hundred years.
The beginning of American history is not a good start. America was a foreign continent for the ancestors. Some people were not in America by choice. They had to work very hard to build up the country. Furthermore, there are diseases that were unexplored at the time. There are people who die because of it. So much work is needed to build America to make it the country it is today.
The author then writes about the disagreements Americans have with themselves. Americans often change their minds. For example, Americans are sometimes against the government, but sometimes for it. They don't know what exactly they want.
Furthermore, the American people have achieved a great deal in the past. They do a lot, but when they get tired of being successful they prefer to think about what makes them unhappy. Americans live paradoxically.
The author also writes that the people who live in American high society are not advanced in their thoughts. For example, a man needs electricity every day but doesn't know how to fix the problem if the fuse breaks.
In addition, it has become American culture that the child must be educated in a family. The parents assume it and want the child to be successful. It's their dream.

Hallo,
eine Summary schaut aber anders aus!
Summaries (= Inhaltsangaben, Zusammenfassungen) werden in der Regel im Present geschrieben. Handlungen aus der Vergangenheit können aber durchaus auch im Past Simple und Present Perfect stehen.
- The summary is usually written in the present tense.
- But past events may be reported in the past, future events may be reported in the future.
- Statements or questions which were made in the past may be reported in the past tense or the past perfect.
- Statements and questions which were made in the past but concern the future may be reported in the conditional
(Quelle: kfmaas.de/summary0.html)
Für die Anwendung der anderen Zeiten im Summary gelten dieselben Regeln und Signalwörter wie in anderen Texten.
Die Zusammenfassung eines Sachtextes, der sich mit Geschichte befasst, steht im Simple Past, denn es handelt sich um in der Vergangenheit abgeschlossene Handlungen.
In eine Summary gehören nicht:
- Progressive / Continuous Tense
- Wörtliche Rede
- Zitate aus dem Originaltext
- Eigene Meinung, Gedanken und Kommentare
- Stellungnahme
- Schlusssatz
- Erzählerische Elemente, z.B. suddenly, unfortunately, at long last …
Zur Länge gibt es keine Vorgaben, man sagt über den Daumen gepeilt 1/5 des Originaltextes.

Dein Motto sollte Learning by doing! sein, dann klappt's auch bald mit dem Schreiben englischer Summaries.
Ich empfehle für das Vokabular ein gutes (online) Wörterbuch, z. B. pons.com und für die Grammatik ego4u.de und englisch-hilfen.de. Finger weg aber vom Google-Übelsetzer und seinen tr.tteligen Kollegen.

Ich weiß wie man eine summary schreibt. Das Problem ist, es gibt viele Sachen die sich in der Vergangenheit abspielen und ich kann das nicht einfach in Präsens schreiben.
