Bonjour à tous,
J'ai un devoir d'anglais à faire (envoyer un e-mail d'un lieu de vacance).
Pensez-vous qu'il reste des fautes dans celui-ci ?:
Hi Everyone!
My parents and I have landed at J F K Airport this Friday.
So we are now on holiday in the “Big Apple” and I am writing you from my room in the Chelsea Inn hotel.
We have some good weather even if it rained a little on yesterday morning.
This town is so large that we spend much more time in Yellow Cabs than visit sites ;-)
But it's worth it: The skyscrapers are really high and their shopping malls are really huge.
You can find everything to buy and I even found some presents for both of you.
There are so many different people here coming from a lot of countries.
The show is in the street.
All the best !

Bonjour,
C'est bon dans l'ensemble. Quelques petites bricoles à corriger.
Pensez à utiliser la forme progressive pour les actions longues!
Bonne continuation!

Hi Everyone!
My parents and I have landed at JFK Airport this Friday.
So we are now on holiday in the “Big Apple” and I am writing you [preposition required] from my room in the Chelsea Inn hotel. [suggested word order:"from my hotel room at the Chelsea Inn"]
We have [ING] some good weather even if it rained a little on yesterday morning.
This town is so large that we spend much more time in Yellow Cabs than visit [ING] sites ;-)
But it's worth it: The skyscrapers are really high and their shopping malls are really huge.

So we are now on holiday in the “Big Apple” and I am writing to you from my room in the Chelsea Inn hotel.[Le nom de l'hôtel est "Chelsea Inn"(point barre) car "Inn" signifie déjà "hôtel"). Il faut insérer "hotel" plus tôt dans la phrase. Relire les suggestions données plus haut pour l'ordre des mots].

You can find everything to buy [my mistake! C'était "everything" (= "tout") qui clochait, car il ne conviendrait en anglais qui si la liste d'achat était connue de nous, ce qui n'est pas le cas. Choisir "n'importe quoi" qui se dit ...???] and I even found some presents for both of you.

Merci Prescott,
en effet je n'avais pas bien corrigé non plus suivant des demandes.

Il en reste une qui n'a pas été corrigée. les chambres sont situées [à] l'hotel et non [dans] en anglais. Moi je suis "in" the room, mais la chambre est "at" the Chelsea. Comme une adresse mail avec "at mark" (arrobas).

[Voilà! Là on ressent bien l'équilibre des deux actions longues en ING , spending/visiting, dans la phrase, "on est en train de passer plus de temps dans les taxis qu'on en passe sur les sites à visiter". Il faut apprendre le réflexe d'essayer de mettre systématiquementla phrase en ING, dès lors que l'action a une certaine durée, puis de la remettre en français avec "en train de". Si le résultat en français n'a pas une allure "trop lourde" ou absurde, alors on peut laisser ING en anglais. L'anglais a une conscience super aiguisée de la longueur ou non d'une action, sauf si elle est répétitive]

You are welcome, fripon10 !
Une petite erreur (high) m'avait échappé. The skyscapers are really "tall".
High ne convient que si on précise un ordre de grandeur, comme dans "Dubai's new 1.55 mile-high skyscraper."
Bonne continuation!

"SIGHTS", not "SITES" - "to see the sights", "sight-seeing" - en anglais ,c'est comment nous disons faire du tourisme dans une grande ville
: )

Bonjour,
Selon moi, Sites can also be accepted ( besoin un article) visiting the sights or visiting the sites.
Then finally, I am just wondering that the show is (really?) in the street or the show is on the street
Amicalement,
May

Hello newtoglos,
Can you really visit sights? or do you visit sites?
I think 'sites' is the right word here,don't you think so?
Hello may,
I think 'in' and 'on' the street are both acceptable.
Best wishes.

Bonjour; Je vois que May (ci-dessus) habite au Canada; il se peut, donc, que là-bas on peut dire les deux, comme elle dit, mais en Angleterre, normalement, on VOIT les "sights" et on VISITE les "sites".
Un dictionnaire des synonymes/thésaurus vous dira que le nom "sight" est lié au pouvoir/à la faculté de vue/vision.
Naturellement, on peut VOIR - de loin - un "site" qu'on va VISITER plus tard . . .
