Naja, das erste ist doch: Reden ist Silber, Schweigen ist Gold. Heißt übersetzt so viel wie manchmal ist es besser einfach die Klappe zu halten.

Das Zweite wäre dann: Stille Wasser sind tief. Ich würde das so auslegen, dass stille Menschen häufig tiefgründig und nachdenklich sind und nicht so oberflächlich.

Das Dritte wäre dann übersetzt soviel wie, —— Diese Interpretation nehme ich mal lieber im Rahmen eines Übersetzungsfehlers raus…😉🫢

Zum dritten:

Bedeutet einfach soviel, dass diejenigen mit dem geringsten Wissen und Talent, oft auch diejenigen sind, die am lautesten und am meisten sprechen

Woher ich das weiß:eigene Erfahrung – Engländer --> englisch aufgewachsen

Die zwei ersten Sprichwörter gibt es auch im Deutschen:

Reden ist Silber, Schweigen ist Gold

Stille Wasser sind tief

Das dritte Sprichwort kenne ich im Deutschen nicht und mir fällt auch nichts Äquivalentes dazu ein.

Hallo, ich muss bald ein kurzreferat über das Windsor Castle in England halten. Bis jetzt habe ich folgende Informationen und wollte euch fragen, ob ihr noch weitere Ideen habt, worüber ich noch schreiben könnte/ was noch interessant zu wissen ist ?!
danke schon mal für jede Inspiration und Antwort 🥰

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world and has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years. It is located at Windsor in the English county Berkshire. Moreover, it is an official residence of her Majesty the Queen and is still very much a working royal palace today. Over 150 people live and work there. The castle is used regularly for ceremonial and state occasions, including state visits from overseas monarchs and presidents. The Queen spends most of her private weekends at Windsor Castle. You can tell when she is home by looking at the flag pole above the famous Round Tower. The castle grounds cover 52, 609 square metres.

William the Conqueror chose Windsor castles‘s location. The construction of the castle began in 1070. By 1086, the building was complete, made of timber.

During the reign of King Henry II (1154 - 1189), he started to replace Windsor Castle's walls with stone, and converted the castle into a palace, and added royal apartments. Under King Edward III (1327 - 1377), Windsor Castle was transformed from a military fortification into a gothic palace."

Unfortunately, on 20 November 1992 a fire broke out and destroyed 115 rooms. But how did the fire started? It started in Queen Victoria’s private chapel, where a faulty spotlight ignited a curtain next to the altar. Within minutes the blaze was unstoppable and had spread to St George's Hall next door.

Hallo. Könnte mal eventuell jemand über meinen Text über die USA drüber schauen? Wäre echt lieb von euch, danke! Und wenn ihr noch irgendwelche Sachen zum Text ergänzen würdet (Themen, wie z.B. die Bevölkerung usw), dann gerne her damit!
,,The US are in North America. America is a Continental and it consists of South America, Central America and North America. The US are very popular since they created a lot of things like McDonald’s and so on. It is very cool there because of the many sights such as the Statue of Liberty which you can see in many pictures. You can see a lot of cool things of the US have become so popular. Today the population of the US are about 330 million. The capital is Washington, D.C and people come there from all over the world. People from Mexico, Central or South America are called Hispanics or Lations. Their first language is often Spanish, so the US don‘t have a national language since more than one third of the population speaks Spanish in some areas and that is why most of the signs are in Spanish and English. There are about 2,5 million Native Americans and most of them live on reservations. When white immigrants came to America in the 17th century, they fought against the Native Americans because they wanted to get their land and after they had won, most of Native Americans had to leave their land and they had to live on reservations. Today, they still live on reservations and they are very poor. They don‘t have any jobs, so they try to earn money by keeping traditions such as the powwow. It is a celebration of American Indian culture. They sing, feast and dance there. Native Americans such as the Cherokees are one of the most popular Indian tribes of the US and they live in the South of the US. Another popular tribe are the Navajos who live in the Southwestern of the US. In 1883 there were 4 million black Americans and they didn‘t have the same rights as white Americans, so people like Malcolm X fought for the rights of black people. Today about 40 million black Americans live in the US. As you can see, the US had a lot of problems in the past but it is still a very cool nation.“

Geschichte schreiben?

Hallo ich muss eine geschichte schreiben für die schule und zwar im thema Gothic Literature das ist was ich soweit habe:

The Face

I lay in my bed in the eerie midnight dreary, with my wife beside me while she read “A tale of two cities”. Outside the rain was hammering down and once in a while thunder sounded. The fire crackled in the wind that entered through the gap of the window. Every once in a while you hear raven’s shrill shriek screech, as it is tring to flee from the horrid thunderstorm. I glanced at the gloomy moon that lit up the room through the curtains. The murky moon was the only light source that kept shapes regocnizeable, as the candles were flickering and soon showed no sign of light.

The bed creaked as I gradually turned around to wish my love, “Good night.” The light of the deep silver moon taking one's time passed the house, and the room fell into deep darkness. I quickly dozed off into deep slombering.

There was an ear spliting screach echoing through the house in the dead of the night. I wanted to grab for my wife, but she wasn’t there. My heart sank and my eyes widened, I fell into a state of schock. I suspected horrid things, as I leaped for the door and slammed it open. It felt like I did the greatest long jump down the stairs. But it was too late. There was no sign of her anymore other explanation for me than that my love was taken away. I knew I had to find this horrid creature who dared to take her. I screamed,”Elenor!” but no reply.

I went back up the stairs in deep sadness but also in such anger. I asked myself “What will I do now,” or “Will I ever see my love again.” It felt like an eternity until I reached the top of the steep stairs. When I did I colapsed onto the bed falling trying to process the schock I don’t remember properly but it was maybe 4-5 am and I just layed there like a dead body until it was about 7 am.I decided to slowly proceed down stairs and grabbed myself some cereal and threw myself onto the well worn couch.

When I turned around and looked outside there was a face, a face that stared deep into my soul through the morning dawn, with eyes that were as white as snow and the body was covered in a black coat as black as his soul I supposed. It rapidly came into my mind that this might be the creature of horror that took my wife. I rushed through the pitch black kitchen and grabed the largest knive I could find. I wanted revenge, but not any one wher he could never get me back.

When I came outside there was nothing, it had disappeared. It vanished into thin air with no sign of it, it was gone. I looked around for a few minutes but still no sign of the beast. Fustrated, I back inside.

Und ich habe mir vor geschtelt das er dieses Gesicht noch weitere male sieht und er dann ganz paranoid wird und dass dann im ende das Gesicht ihm umbringt werend er schläft und die frau sieht das durchs Fenster und rent weg in denn Wald und dass die Geschichte dann so interesant ended dass sie wegrent und man sich dann so fragen stellt.

Es wäre sehr nett wenn mir jemand helfen könnte die Geschichte fertig zu schreiben

San Diego is the second largest city in the U.S. state of California and the seventh largest in the United States. The city has 1.28705 million inhabitants and is located in southwestern California, near the border with Mexico. San Diego is the capital of the district, the San Diego County. Due to its pleasant climate, is called by its inhabitants, like San Diego as America's Finest City. The Pacific beaches popular with surfing enthusiasts. San Diego is more than just a surfer's paradise. The city has in recent years become one of the most important centers of telecommunications and biotechnology industries. San Diego is one of many cities in the United States. In San Diego, usually English and Spanish is spoken. Firms often work in both languages, and most companies employ bilingual employees. The third most important language in San Diego is the Tagalog. This circumstance is related to the large Filipino community in the city. Here there are many entertainment options as well as shopping trips. To date, the city is still not as well known as New York or Los Angeles, but this will change anytime soon. Every one has heard of the major attractions in San Diego. Balboa Park is the green lung of San Diego. This is where families gather for picnics, jogging or sports for older people to simply take a walk. The park offers many green spaces, water features and a few as opposed to the center of San Diego better air to breathe. Here you can relax. In the park, the famous zoo and several museums are located. Flower lovers will enjoy specially designed gardens.

Now i tell you something aboute the crime situation

San Diego is one of the safest cities in California. Of course you should still take the same precautions as in other cities of comparable size. Walks through South East San Diego or the Barrio Logan - near or even under the Coronado Bridge - at night should be avoided because these are the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city. As for the gang crime, it also exists in San Diego, but it is impossible to compare with that in Los Angeles.

Danke im Voraus! :-))))))))))))))))))

Englisch Text korrigieren oder umschreiben?

Hallo liebe Community,

ich wollte euch fragen, ob ihr eventuell meinen Englisch Text korrigieren und wenn der Satz generell nicht stimmen sollte, umschreiben könnt? Ich habe versuch in ein leichtes Englisch zu schreiben, weil meine Lehrerin das auch besser bewertet also ein kompliziertes Englisch. Ich würde mich echt freuen wenn ihr mir helfen könnt! :)

Hi Leah,

I came across your blog post about your opinion about Shakespeare's poems. You claim that they are all boring and have strange illusions. Well, I really don't agree with you, but I want to introduce you one of my favourite poems by William Shakespear "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"

Let me summarize this masterpiece for you: The Sonnet starts with a flattering question "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?". William Shakespeare explains that his love is as beautiful as the most beautiful things in the world, such as a summer’s day. In the next line, he rejects this idea immediately. He says that the beauty of summer is fleeting and that it will eventually be replaced by the harshness of winter. However, the speaker also claims that the person’s beauty will be immortalized in the poem, since her beauty will supposedly never fade or die. This special thing about her is what gives her life and it’s a tribute to how couples see their partner as the only one for them.

In my opinion, it is a poem of admiration and adoration, almost certainly the best known piece of Shakespeare’s work. The simplicity and loveliness of this poem is outstanding and one of the main reasons for the poem’s success. The major themes in Sonnet 18 are the timelessness, nature, love, beauty and the death and immortality. I think the main theme is timeless and I specifically like it because it is a deeper theme of immortalization. Lack of time is a theme that has and will affect humans forever and therefore the wish for eternity reflects a universal experience.

Let me know what you think now about this poem. Don't worry, I am not mad if you still defend your opinion but let me know if you have changed your mind! :)

Los Angeles has seen the evil

A recent school shooting in Los Angeles has brought the issue of school safety in the bad light. So, people became aware of these happening. On 30th April 2023, two 17-year-old students have armed their high school with two guns which left 11 people dead and 5 injured. This incident has left people worried about the safety of students and staff at schools.

Gun violence, especially in schools, is still a national crisis in the United States and migrants are still allowed to carry a gun because of the “national firearms agreement”. Due to the licenses of weapons, such acts are occurring more and more frequently. In order to protect students and school staff, most schools have security guards. There are also usually controls at the entrances. As a way to prevent non-schoolers from entering the school, they have their own school cards, which clearly show the identifies of the students. In addition, the police have increased their presence at schools.

Students, who have witnessed such incident, are usually traumatised and can hardly cope without psychological help. Many students and parents report terrible feelings and perceptions. “I was so scared when I heard gunshots. I ran and hid under a desk until the police came. Now I’m afraid to come back to school,” says a victim who survived this cruelty. Parents were calling desperately for their children, they even got more scared when they didn’t respond. These are just a few. As a result, the police has to deal with such incidents more and more often. “It is nothing scary anymore, we are already used to it”, claims a policeman. “We are already best prepared for such acts”, adds another officer. They have certain educations and trainings for these hardships.

Due to the school shooting on April 30th, this issue is more present than ever. Many students and parents are extremely frightened that they can also be victims. This clearly shows that much more could be done preventively.

English Indirect Speech Hilfe.

Hey,ich schreib morgen eine English Arbeit,ich wollte noch mal das Indirect Speech durchgehn. Zur info wir haben bis jetzt nur eine verleichterte Form /nur den Anfang .. als beispiel "Zita said she didn´t care about Money.The Report said Australia was saying sorry" und "Zita told us she had seen terrible things."

Ich hab verstanden das wenn man das Aktiv(Direct Speech) in das Passiv(indirect speech) umwandelt,das aus dem Simple Present das Simple Past wird und das aus dem Simple Past das past perfet wird. Nur meine frage ist wieso?und wie erkenne ich wann ich das past perfect oder simple past einsetzen muss?

"Zita told us she seen terrible things." "Zita told us she saw terrible things" Ist beides sprachlich korrekt,Past perfect und Simple past,aber ich erkenn halt nicht wann ich das eine einsetzen muss und dann das andere?

Oder "My mom is still at work " Ella said her mom.. Darauf würde mir spontan nichts einfallen villeicht sowas wie "Ella said her mom was still at work " nur das Verb muss ich doch noch umändern?Wäre ja worked..passt aber meiner meinung nicht,aber bei den anderen beispiel musste ich das verb ja umändern..

Kann mir das jemand villeicht kurz erklären,damit ichs mir einfach lernen kann?

English paragraf peel?

Würde dieser Text in english einem Peel paragraf entsprechen ( 10 Schulstufe )

Should young people take Relationship advice from adults?

No, I stand against that, not because I think the older generation doesn’t know anything about love or Relationships but because this is a new era.

The world has changed in a lot of ways positively and negatively, teenagers now tend to start and end relationships over their phone, because its way easier.

Nowadays if someone knows your name, it only takes a couple of second to find Info’s about you. Like where you go to school or what your social media accounts are. And if teenagers find somebody attractive, they most likely ask for their snap or Insta, not their Phone number. People can also have way easier long-distance relationships over the Phone, no more weeks of waiting just to send a letter to a friend now it only takes a click.

I think in some ways the older Generation can still give tips, like on dates and things that haven’t changed but sumarised I think youre better of talking to your teenage friends : ).

Vielen Dank

The single cartoon by Randy Glasbergen, taken from the website "www..." shows two persons who are dating for the first time.

On the left hand site of the cartoon is a man sitting on a chair and infront of him is a table. On this table is a open laptop which is standing also infront of him. The man is looking at the laptop. Above him is a speech bubble which says,"...". On the other site of the table is a woman sitting on a chair and holding a mobilephone. She is looking to the mobilephone. Next to her is a full wine glas. Above the woman is a speech bubble which says, "..". In the middle of the table is a candle. The scene is taking place at a restaurant.

The message of the cartoon is that both know eachother from online chats but on the first date they still communicate about technology to eachother because they do not know how to do it in real life.

Cartoon Analyse englisch?

Hey, ich soll ein Cartoon beschreiben und wollte mal fragen, ob es was an meinem Text zu verbessern gibt

The colored cartoon shows two different pictures. The cartoon on the left side shows a man who is wearing green jeans and a green Sweatshirt. He is lying on a big phone while smiling and playing with a crib mobile. Worth mentioning facts are the social media logos on the crib mobile. The cartoon on the right part shows a dialog with three different parts. In the first part of the cartoon you can see two man talking to each other. The man on the left side is wearing a green shirt and the Man on the right side is wearing a blue shirt. What catches your eyes the most are the speech bubbles. The speech bubble above the man on the left side says „..And literally within seconds I got more than to replies!“ And the speech bubble above the man on the right says „And what did they say?“ In the two other parts of the cartoon the two men are just staring at each other. The caption of the picture says „It‘s the experience“
