Det her er 2 del af min engelske stil som skal afleverse i morgen. Jeg skal forestille mig at jeg er i familie med en britisk kaptajn der har har oplevet den iriske hungersnød for ca 150 år siden.
Vil blive glad hvis der er en der lige gider kigge den igennem.... på forhånd tak..
Today I have been on a museum in the village of Schull. I read a diary with dealt “The great Famine” and it was written by Commander Caffyn which is one of my forefathers. The text there was written in that diary was some of the worst I ever had read.
A lot of things pops up in my mind when I read it. On the one hand I got a little bit embarrassed about being an Englishman because they under the Famine didn’t send the Irish foot or supported them. On the other hand I think we can blame the Irish back in the 18th century why the disaster became so hugh. The reason why I say this is because I don’t think the famine just was rose because of the destroy of the potato crop, but also a question of religion. I think many Irish back at that time thought the disaster was divine that had come to repay them for their sins, and therefore they didn’t try to find other methods to get food, in time. I also think that one of the reasons why the British didn’t help is a question of religion. They thought that the Catholics were unbelievers and that the famine just was a consequence of not believe in the “right”.
It is very hard to say who did the right and who did the wrong, because you have a totally different view on things there happend 150 years ago. Of course it is not okay that over one million people died because of malnutrition, but there is nothing we can do about it now. So I can’t see any reason why we are supposed to have bad feelings for something our forefathers did 150 years ago. Instead I think we should try to find something positive when we read such horrible stories like the one I read today. The story I read today taught me one thing, and it was that I am having a great life, and that’s a positive ting.
But even though that I have learned something today, there is one thing I can tell you for sure and that is, that is the first and last time I am visiting that museum.

Med mindre det er direkte tale må man ikke trække sammen - altså skal det hedde 'did not'... og senere don't = 'do not'..og can't = 'cannot'
Det hedder 19th century hvis det er noget der skal have foregået i 1800-tallet. Man siger jo også det 21 årh. i dag.
skal der ikke stå: the disaster became so huge (altså stor)?
I also think.... - meget tungt
synes dette er bedre: ...of not
believing in what is "right"
who did the right thing, or who did the wrong thing. Kan ihvertfald ikke stå alene!
ikke 'there happened' men 'that/which'
Ikke 'having'(ellers er det som om det kun er lige nu), men 'have a great life'
mangler it altså - it is the the first
Håber det kunne bruges!

Today I have been (to) a museum in the village of Schull. I read a diary (that) dealt with “The great Famine” and it was written by Commander Caffyn wh(o) is one of my forefathers. The text (-) written in that diary (is) )one) of the worst I (have) ever (-) read.
A lot of things pops (-) in(to) my mind when I read it. On the one hand I (felt) a little bit (ashamed) (to) (be) an Englishman because they (never send the Irish any food or supported them during the Famine). On the other hand I think (it's the Irish's fault that the disaster became so huge back in the 18th century). The reason why I say this is (that) I don’t think the famine (started) just (-) because of the destr(uction) of the potato crop, but (it was) also a (matter) of religion. I think, back then many Irish(men) thought the disaster was divine (and) had come to repay them for their sins, and therefore they didn’t try to find other methods (for) get(ting) food in time. I also think that one of the reasons why the British didn’t help (was the difference in) religion. They thought that the Catholics were unbelievers and that the famine (was) just (-) a consequence of not believ(ing) in the “right” (things).
It is very hard to say who did (-) right and who did (-) wrong, because you have a (completely) different view on things (that) happend 150 years ago. Of course it is not okay (måske lidt for slang-agtigt) that (more than) one million people died because of malnutrition, but there is nothing we can do about it now. So I can’t see any reason to why we are supposed to have (feel bad) for something our forefathers did 150 years ago. Instead I think we should try to find something positive (indsæt evt. to focus on) when we read such horrible stories like the one I read today. The story I read today taught me one thing, and it (is) that I (have got) a great life, and that’s a positive t(h)ing.
But even though (-) I have learned something today, there is one thing I can tell you for sure and that is, that (it) (was) the first and (the) last time I (-) visit(ed) that museum.
(-) betyder at ordet skal slettes.
