Mélinda's submission: Average Rating:
Hi!!! My name is Mélinda, I'm french, and I live in France. I've chosen to learn this language because it's the universal spoken, and because I'd like to be interpreter-translator. That's the reason because I learn all these different languages. Thanks to this job, I hope to discover the world, the other cultures...and help people who need. 'Coz I have the chance I were born in this country, in a family who love me and have enough money to make me live, but everybody had not this chance!
Goodbye, and thank you ;-)

    I'm french ► I'm French in English, we capitalize names of language and nationality, as if they were proper names because it's the universal spoken ► because it is universally spoken to be interpreter-translator ► to be AN interpreter-translator (singular indefinite article required, when talking about one's profession, unlike French: I am an actor. Je suis acteur.) That's the reason because I learn... ► That's the reason WHY I learn... Thanks to this job, I hope to discover the world, the other cultures...and help people who need. ► Through this career, I hope to discover the world and other cultures, and help those in needs. Coz I have the chance I were born in this country, ► I am fortunate to be born in this prosperous country, to a family that... ("fortune" is a more precise word than "chance" in this context. Therefore, you're said to be "fortunate." in a family who ► to a family that Le mot "qui" is very versatile, whereas its English counterparts "who/which/that" are more context-specific. Use "who" only when referring to a person(s). "Family" is a unit, not considered a person.) have enough money to make me live ► have the means to raise me with a comfortable lifestyle ALT: have enough money to provide me with a life of abundance VOCAB: affluence, prosperity, amenity vs. austerity, poverty, destitute everybody had not this chance ► not everybody has this opportunity Negation of concepts as: everyone, almost, never, nothing, nobody, anybody, etc. are tricky. Each language has its own preculiar ways of expression. Slightest error in word order, or choice of word(s) could render the sentence contradictory or have opposite meaning from what you intended. You have a good attitude and a noble aspiration, Mélinda! Bravo à toi et à tes parents ! I'm proud to have you as a friend. Thanks again for all your competent and detailed tutelage with logical explanation, in my French learning.
