Er der nogle herinde, der vil hjælpe mig med at sige, om der er noget i mit dagbogindlæg, jeg skal lave om på?
Dagbogindlægget ser således ud:


Monday the 9th of October

The day started with an alarm on my mobile phone that told me, the clock was 7 o’clock am in the morning. But I first stand out of my bed at 7:30 am, because we have to meet each other in the lobby at 9 o’clock am, so I thank, I could get some more sleep, but I couldn’t fall asleep again.
The first thing I did, when I came out of the bed was to shower me, take my clothes on and get some breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant, because we don’t have to make our own breakfast, because there are no kitchen on the hotel rooms.
The American breakfast is a bit like the Danish, but instead of white bread there were rye bread and muffins, which you haven’t in the Danish version of breakfast.
At 9 o’clock we distributed us in the 2 cars, where I were in the car, Johan drove. We also have it much funnier, than the other car, because they, who drove with Michael, may not hear music and these things, which Johan was allowing us.
When we arrived at Berkeley University we meet a guy, which name I can’t remember, who gave us a conducted tour on Berkeley University and told us a bit about Berkeley and its history. Berkeley University was established in 1868 in Berkeley (as the name said), California.
Berkeley is playing a big role in the development of the Atomic Bomb during the World War 2, and soon after the World War 2 they were also very involved in the invention of the Hydrogen Bomb. Berkeley is also known from the periodic system, where the Berkelium and the Californium have been founded in Berkeley.
Berkeley is also known as one of the best universities, because its faculty includes so many persons, and because it graduates over 5.500 bachelor’s degrees, 2.000 master’s degrees and so on every year.
When we have heard about Berkeley, we went home again to relax, but only until 4 o’clock pm, because we were going to Alcatraz.
Alcatraz is an island located in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. The primary use was in the beginning as a military stockade, but when they wasn’t no longer need for this, it was properly rebuild into a jail, where the worst and most dangerous prisoners were sent, because it was inescapable. Only 3 prisoners escaped from the prison, but they couldn’t sail over the sea and into the bay. You haven’t seen them after the escape, but everybody thinks they drowned.
Even if Alcatraz is a National Historical Landmark, you can reach the island and se it, but some places are blocked from the public, because of danger for everybody’s safety.
I think, it is a bit terrified, that you have left some people on the island, even if they had killed another person or what they have done.
One of the famous persons who have been prisoner on Alcatraz was Al Capone.
When I was in San Francisco again, I have to search for something to eat, which we found at Burger King.
At 10 o’clock pm I went to bed, and after 5 minutes I was asleep.
All though I think it had been a nice day.

7 o' clock AM in the morning er unødvendigt. Enten bruger du "in the morning" eller også "AM". Det betyder jo det samme.

Det hedder "get out of bed"

thank = thought

Det er ikke så godt at starte en sætning med "But"


The first thing I did, when I got out of bed was to shower, get dressed, and get some breakfast in the hotel's restaurant. We cannot prepare breakfast ourselves since there are no kitchens in the hotel rooms.

"which you haven't" - which you do not have

"At 9 o’clock we distributed us in the 2 cars, where I were in the car, Johan drove. We also have it much funnier, than the other car, because they, who drove with Michael, may not hear music and these things, which Johan was allowing us." - omskriv. Vi distribuerede os selv???

which name = whose name

Der er, så vidt jeg ved, ikke en bestemt artikel foran "World War II"

Tal på engelsk er lidt forskellig fra det på dansk. Ved tusinde deles der med et komma på engelsk (modsat punktum på dansk) og omvendt ved decimaler. Eks:
2,000.00 = two thousand
1.95 = one ninety-five.

Du mangler et "e" på "see" (..reach the island and se it)

Den sidste sætning giver ikke mening. Du faldt i søvn SELVOM du mente, at det havde været en god dag??

#1 Hvad skal jeg så starte sætningen med, der starter med but?
Vi distribuerede os selv = vi splittede os op

Så er det jo bare fjerne the
Så kan jeg lige have rettet det
Jeg kan godt se det, men skal jeg splitte det op på to linier, for jeg skal både have en konklusion og en afslutning

Nu har jeg fået rettet min dagbog helt igennem, så er der nogle, der vil sige, om der er nogle fejl i denne:

Monday the 9th of October

Dear diary

My day started with an alarm going off at 7 o’clock in the morning on my mobile phone. Even though I was in good time, I didn’t get some more sleep, but I still remained in the bed for 30 minutes to see, if I could get some more sleep. A reason why I couldn’t get some sleep could be all the new kind of stuff like Asbjørn’s loud snore and the oversized American furniture. Everything just seems so new to me, but it was also just my 2nd time traveling alone (without one of my family members). Another reason could be the new culture and the expectations of the day.
After the 30 minutes I was going to shower me, and there one of the accidents of the day showed up; I was very close to hit the deck on the bathroom, because of a flannel, which didn’t hang on its place.
After the bath and the dressing, I went to the hotel’s bar to get some breakfast, because there is no kitchen on the hotel room, but there should be kitchen on our rooms in Sunnyvale, where we are going to spend the last 2 weeks of our journey.
The American breakfast were a kind like the Danish one, but instead of white bread there were rye bread and muffins, which you haven’t in the Danish version of breakfast, but the also have Cheerios and rolls in the American version, so on that way there are both identical.
At 9 o’clock we were all gathered near the cars, so we divided us in the normal 2 groups with our driver and began to get on the cars. After some minutes we drove. I was in the car, Johan drove. I think we have it much funnier than they have in the other cars, because we were able to listen to music while Johan was driving, and they others may not hear music and these thing, which Johan was allowing us. We just have some problems with the driving, because Michael was touching the brake almost all the time, and we have to drive after him.

When we arrived at Berkeley University we meet a guy, whose name I can’t remember, who gave us a conducted tour on Berkeley University and told us a bit about Berkeley and its history:
Berkeley University was established in 1868 in Berkeley (as the name said), California.
Berkeley is playing a big role in the development of the Atomic Bomb during the World War 2, and soon after the World War 2 they were also very involved in the invention of the Hydrogen Bomb. Berkeley is also known from the periodic system, where the Berkelium and the Californium have been founded in Berkeley.
Berkeley is also known as one of the best universities, because its faculty includes so many persons, and because it graduates over 5,500 bachelor’s degrees, 2,000 master’s degrees and so on every year.

When we have finished the conducted tour on Berkeley, we came to a fountain, which name was the dog fountain, but I can’t remember why. Michael took a picture of the fountain, but he hasn’t seen that there were sitting a very beautiful girl at the fountain, so we laughed a bit of him. Asbjørn also took a picture, but it was of the girl to make seems a little less obvious.
After the funny photo, we were meeting at the Berkeley to make plans for the rest of the day, and we planned, that we could do what we wants to do, if we just were at the hotel’s lounge at 4 o’clock pm. I followed Johan and the rest of the members in that car, so we could drive home, when we were finish at Berkeley.
First we had to get some lunch, and afterwards we visited the souvenir-shop to see, if they had some good books, but we disappeared from each other, but the last member to show up, wasn’t me as I thought, because I have to see, if they have a specific book or some beautiful postcards, but I didn’t find some of them. When we were together again, Johan drove us home to the hotel.
When we arrived at the hotel, I went to the room, Asbjørn and I was sharing. I laid me at the bed to write some notes about Berkeley, and what I have done this day just to have it fresh in my mind.
At 3:50 pm I went to the lobby to wait for the others, because we were going to Alcatraz, when we all were together, we planned to take the cars even if Michael has told us, that it could be very hard to find parking spaces for both cars, but when we saw a parking lot with spaces, we parked the cars there even though Michael has told us, that it could be very expensive. We went to the parking meter to see the price, but before we had time to put the money in it, there where a car, which driver asked us, if we wanted to buy his ticket for 5 $, and we would be very pleased for that, because the parking ticket normally will cost us 10 $. We also got the 2nd ticket, before we had time to put money in the parking meter, and we could get it free.
When we arrived at the ticket office, and Michael had got the tickets for us, we began to laugh, because we have been told, that we have to have our identification with us, and there were standing Grant on the tickets, which we didn’t have identification on, because its only Michael’s last name.
When we came onboard the boat, I stepped incorrect, which resulted in a very bad foot, which hurts all the way on Alcatraz.
On Alcatraz we got some information about the island and its history:
Alcatraz is an island located in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. The primary use was in the beginning as a military stockade, but when they wasn’t no longer need for this, it was properly rebuild into a jail, where the worst and most dangerous prisoners were sent, because it was inescapable. Only 3 prisoners escaped from the prison, but they couldn’t sail over the sea and into the bay. You haven’t seen them after the escape, but everybody thinks they drowned.
Even if Alcatraz is a National Historical Landmark, you can reach the island and se it, but some places are blocked from the public, because of danger for everybody’s safety.
I think, it is a bit terrified, that you have left some people on the island, even if they had killed another person or what they have done.
One of the famous persons who have been prisoner on Alcatraz was Al Capone.

Asbjørn also have to do a geocaching on the island, which I helped him with, even though my foot hurts. Geocaching is a form for tasks based on a place and the reason its name is geocaching is that you can have help from a GPS. There were so many tasks on the geocaching, so we couldn’t get them all until the 1st boat arrived, so we waited until the last boat that day.
When we arrived at San Francisco as the only two from our class, we have to go or take a bus, so we were going a little around in San Francisco’s streets to see, if we could find some interesting places to eat, but we couldn’t so we took a bus almost home, but then we discovered a Burger King near to us, so we were eating there.
At 10 o’clock pm I went to bed to think over the day, and I found, that it has been a very nice day and after 5 minutes I was sleeping.
