Hjælp til det grammatiske i min ansøgning..

05. august 2012 af Godenavneeroptaget (Slettet)

Hej!
Jeg har utroligt meget brug for hjælp, til min engelske ansøgning, da jeg ikke er så god grammatisk. 
Så hvis der var et sødt menneske derude et sted, som kunne rette den, så der er så mange fejl, ville det være fantastisk, da jeg meget snart skal sende den afsted. Og hvis der er nogle, der mener der mangler noget i ansøgningen, tager jeg også gerne mod hjælp på det punkt.
På forhånd tak.
PS. Jeg har censureret personlige oplysninger..


Dear Mr. ******

I am writing to apply for the job as your disabled carer advertised at the Danish website jobindex.dk.

I am a woman at the age of 20 and I have just graduated ”Gymnasiet” which corresponds to the British secondary school or high school. As I can read are you looking for a carer who possesses drive, will and a desire to learn new things and I think that they are some of the key strengths that I possess. Previously have I worked as a cleaner on a camp where kindergartens and schools could go on holiday camps. Likewise have I worked on a filling station for 3 years. These jobs gave me experience with handling of the everyday tasks, which I think I could use for this job.
I am applying for this job because I want a job in a sabbatical year and because I want some experience and some knowledge about the English culture and language.

I can be reached anytime via email at ********* or my cell phone, +45 *******.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you about this employment opportunity.

Sincerely

Jeg har rettet ansøgningen igennem både med blik for semantik, syntaks, retorik og grammatik. Fordi jeg ret meget har omskrevet, orker jeg ikke at redegøre for hver enkelt rettelse, men jeg håber, at mine rettelser alligevel er brugbare (selvom de næppe er særlig pædagogiske). 

Skulle du have spørgsmål om noget konkret, så spørg.

Her er mit forslag. Det er skrevet med en antagelse om, at modtageren er englænder (ikke skotte eller noget tredje), at du arbejdede som rengøringsdame indtil for nyligt, og at du arbejdede på tanken, mens du gik i gymansiet:

Dear Mr. ******

I wish to apply for the vacancy as a carer as it is advertised at jobindex.dk.

I am a 20 year-old woman, and I have graduated from college this summer.

It is stated in the advert that you are looking for a carer who possesses drive, as well as a desire to learn. I find that drive, adaptability and curiosity are some of my core personality traits, and they are my strengths, as well.

Untill quite recently, I have held a summer job as a cleaner at a holiday camp for kindergarten and grade school children, and I have worked at a petrol station for three years while at college. --- INDFØJ GERNE NOGET MED PERSONLIGE ERFARINGER RELEVANTE FOR JOBBET SOM HANDICAPHJÆLPER ; RENGØRING OG TANKPASSER ER IKKE VOLDSOMT RELEVANT :-) --- Through my personal experiences and work-life, I think that I have gained experiences and competencies which are relevant when working as a carer.

Currently, I am planning on having a gap year before pursuing further education. I wish to spend it in the United Kingdom to improve my English and experience British life and culture. Therefore, I am first and foremost looking for a position for about a year.

I can be reached at any time via email at ********* or telephone at +45 *******.

I thank you in advance for the time spent on examining my application. I am looking forward to hear from you. 

Sincerely

Hello English expert

Being an expert in the field of English language studies and anglophone culture (and a person who has read pop social science about Britain which trully consolidates your status as an infallible authority), you must know that "college" is typically a name for an institution of secondary education in the United Kingdom, a place where people sit their A-level exams, although the term appears as a name of various university faculties and for instance UCL.

This phenomenon is comparable to the existence of something called Harvard Law School, various "Medical Schools" and something called Copenhagen Business School, all of which are institutions of higher learning using a generic term for a scholastic institution. A person is, though, not very likely to say that he or she graduated from "school" -- without adjectives -- when refering to their university studies in a context which does not reveal what "school" is.

Furthermore, being an attentive and extraordinarily intelligent person, you must have noticed that the applicant in question has never been enrolled at a institution of higher learning, so your "improvements" are erroneous, misleading and without any thought for context or the message or interests of #0.

Let's cut the crap. Your corrections are mostly redundant and irrelevant as a critique of a rudimentary draft which attempts to present a possible discourse which is true to the main points of the applicants original text and which deliberately lets grammatically correct and completely understandable, albeit Danish language-inspired, wordings and expressions, remain in the draft instead of deviating into irrelevant self-gratifiction via thesaurus. You are not even able to address an obvious logical/rhetorical flaw in the composition of the text.

Please, do yourself and everyone else a favour and stop spamming the internet with your attention-seeking and passive aggressive nonsense which fills half of the Danish-language internet from Information.dk to God-knows-where. I certainly hope that you are a troll. If that is not true, I trully feel sorry for you and anyone who somehow is forced to have a relation to you.

Ak ja, -lær du hellere at skrive og stave engelsk, i stedet for at tumle rundt i noget halvfordøjet amerikansk, før du forsøger at optræde på slap line. Man smiler blot ad dig.

It does not bear any relevance for anyone that I speak ''half-digested American'', whatever that is supposed to mean. Maybe I should be happy that I am no longer accused of homophobia and a limited vocabulary, because you are unable to interpret humor, even when it contains direct Monty Python references and is otherwise completely absurd. But actually: I don't care.

It is questionable whether it is appropriate talking about half-digestedness of sorts, when one is not even able to read and interpret a text one is translating/editing, and when one does not even know the UK education system while allegedly holding a degree in English and presenting oneself as someone possessing superior knowledge on British society (tragicomically refering to dull and discredited pop science to support one's position). I am starting to believe that you perhaps don't actually have the competences you try giving the impression of having.

You are a joke. A bitter self-centred troll with an inflated ego, notoriously passive-aggressive and belligerent, and notoriously adding nothing constructive to most discussions you are involved in. The typical contribution is nitpicking irrelevant for the discussion, ad hominem, truistic moralism or some sort of summaric remark about a given subject which seldom bears real relevance for the discussion at hand and most often functions as some sort of attempt towards intellectual exhibitionism of a sort which is typical for pretentious high school students and immature teenage undergraduates. A quick Google search reveals this clear pattern of petty conflict.

I don't really care much about your trolling (I still hope trolling is the motivation behind your behavior). But, nonwithstanding whatever actually is provoking your constant bickering, I must say that the final product is annoying and pathetic. The only imaginable reason for participation in any further discussion with you is utilising you as subject for verbal abuse.
