Bonjour,
pouvez-vous corriger cette lettre s'il vous plaît ? C'est un entraînement à la rédaction en anglais. Merci d'avance.
Le sujet est: Vous voulez poursuivre vos études supérieures mais, pour une raison ou une autre, vous ne pouvez atteindre votre but. Ecrivez une lettre pour demander de l'aide afin d'atteindre votre objectif.
Dear Mrs ....,
When the sun is going to sleep and when the moon is being awaken by the evening light, I imagine the future. A future which seems to be uncertain but which can became more reliable thanks to you. I'm not an obsessed fan who will propose to you. I'm just a teenagerwho admire you beacause of your talent, because of your intelligence. But I have, all the same, to ask you a question. I'm a French, ... years old girl and my name is... Like almost every teenager, I'm thinking about my studies, my future work... I would like to beacome a lawyer and defend human rights. It can seems naïve or proud to plan such career. But studying at school the horors of genocid, of war heighten my awarness of the human being.I believe in some values such as humanity, brotherhood and justice. That's why I want to plead in favor of all men whose rights are ridiculed. More than a dream, it's a deep desire. It's a life wish which gives me momentum to follow my studies. Without that desire would we have motivation to surpass ourselves, to give all our heart, all our mind ? That desire is an energy which provides me courage, which drives me to do my best. That's why I would like to follow the best education as possible... I'm going to apply at ... university as an undergraduate and then, if I can, at .... university as a post-graduate student. Howerever, as you surely know, dtudying in such a university is very expensive. I'm going to ask for scholarships, but my parents can't afford fees that remain... So here is my question: Can you help me please Mrs... ?
Your faithfully.

Bonjour,
C'est un bon travail surtout si vous avez 14 ans, comme le dit votre profil, et que vous allez déjà devenir undergraduate! Avec un surnom ressemblant à "Hermione", qui me rappelle Harry Potter, vous avez dû faire vos études avec un balai magique !

Like almost every teenager, I'm thinking about my studies, my future work (job?)... I would like to beacome a lawyer and defend human rights. It can seems naïve or proud to plan such a career. But studying at school the horors of genocid, of war, heighten(le s du présent) my awareness of the human being (structure maladroite, on est conscient d'un problème mais être conscient d'un être humain???).I believe in some values such as humanity, brotherhood and justice.

Je ne suis pas censé porter un jugement de valeur sur votre argumentaire , disons que pour ma sensibilité, ou manque de sensibilité, je trouve cela un peu fleur bleue, un peu naïf, surtout au début, après, l'idéal humanitaire est très bien mais le mélange romantisme pour finir par une demande d'aide financiaire est surprenant, enfin pour moi. Votre première ligne,est-ce une reprise d'une chanson où êtes-vous simplement romantique ?

Merci pour votre correction. Effectivement cette lettre est fleur bleue, mais le but est d'éveiller les sentiments du destinataire pour que celui-ci accepte d'aider une pauvre adolescente en quête de justice... Bref montrer que dans toutes sa candeur, elle croit vraiment en ses ambitions... Pour répondre à votre question, non la première phrase n'est pas tirée d'une chanson et oui je suis romantique, et bien plus douée dans l'usage des mots en Français qu'en Anglais !

Bonjour,
"It can seem (pourquoi n'y a-t'il pas de S ?)"
==> Tout simplement car derrière CAN (comme derrière tous les modaux), il y a une base verbale (= un infinitif sans to).

C'est vrai c'est assez étrange de terminer par la demande d'une aide financière... C'est une manière détournée, diplomate peut être, de demander les choses ! C'est tout de même assez délicat d'aborder un sujet financier... Si l'on commence par montrer sa motivation, pour ensuite poser le problème du coût des études, le destinataire sera plus touché que si l'on commencait la lettre en lui demandant son aide... Enfin je n'ai jamais reçu une telle lettre, je me trompe peut-être...

Bonjour..
"Awaken" is wrong in the first line. Anyway, why not say more simply "when the moon is rising"?
In the second line "became" should be "become"
"I would like to become a lawyer and defend human rights"...Defending human rights is what the United Nations does. Why not express a more modest and practical ambition? For example: "I would like to become a lawyer and help provide free legal aid to poor people"?...This would be more likely to appeal to a potential benefactor..
Good luck!

Une dernière remarque: pour la première phrase, je voulais utiliser une métaphore comme je l'aurais fait en français... Y a-t-il un moyen en anglais d'utiliser une métaphore pour cette phrase, ou la correction que vous m'avez conseillée est-elle plus judicieuse même pour obtenir une tournure de phrase plus poétique ?
Merci de votre aide.
