    PLEASE, HELP MY POOR STUDENT; There are mistakes in this text...
    He has tried hard, but has left 13 mistakes. Can you help him find and correct them?
    It's a and the correction will be online on Sunday, December 27.

    It’s really nice to get in the hot tubs after ocean swimming, especially when the ocean is quite cold, then we get in here and we warm up, and the hot tub is also where the party is going on, so everybody is happy and talkative, and here is a place to meet lots of new friends, in a healthy way.

    Hello!
    Therefore, I'll take Part II.
    Part II:
    We’re a fishing nation, so our lives depended on being able to swim. In 1940, Iceland made swimming lessons mandatory. People had witnessed fishermen actually drowning by the shoreline, so of course, being obligated to learn how to swim made sense.»
    Iceland sits on a hotbed of geothermal energy. Naturally heated water feeds hot tubs throughout the country. We look at the swimming pools as part of the public health policy in Iceland, both in terms of teaching our kids how to swim, also having all kinds of activities for senior citizens and regular people to go to swim.
    It’s really nice to get in the hot tubs after ocean swimming, especially when the ocean is quite cold, then we get in here and we warm up, and the hot tub is also where the party is going on, so everybody is happy and talkative, and here is a place to meet lots of new friends, in a healthy way. When you’re sitting in a hot tub, there’s no classification.

    Nous sommes une nation de pêcheurs, donc nos vies ont dépendu de la faculté de nager. En 1940, l'Islande a rendu les cours de natation obligatoires. Les gens avaient assisté à la noyade de pêcheurs près du rivage, alors bien sûr, le fait d'être obligé d'apprendre à nager semblait logique."
    L'Islande se trouve sur un foyer d'énergie géothermale. L'eau chauffée naturellement alimente des spas dans tout le pays. Nous considérons les piscines comme partie intégrante de la politique de santé publique en Islande, à la fois en termes d'apprentissage de la natation pour les enfants, mais aussi en fourniture de toutes sortes d'activités pour que les séniors et les habitués puissent aller nager.
    C'est vraiment agréable d'aller dans les spas après avoir nagé dans l'océan, surtout quand l'océan est franchement froid, alors nous entrons ici et nous nous réchauffons, et le spa est aussi le lieu où se déroule la fête, alors tout le monde est content et bavarde, et c'est un endroit pour rencontrer plein de nouveaux amis de façon saine. Quand vous êtes assis dans un spa, il n'y a pas de classification.

    «It’s such a great(1)feeling. It’s like being reborn(2) again, or putting on a different skin. We’re nearly naked.

We have those images of great swimmers. As we are an island nation, swimming has been important for us in many ways

    Hello!

    Here is the third part:

    You have to take all your clothes off in front of (13) everybody. You leave your status outside, there’s no VIP section, everybody’s the same. You have to leave your cell phone outside, so people are compelled to start to talk to others.
    Most of the swimming pools are outdoors in Iceland. The ocean is very cold (maybe four degrees) and then the pools are hot (38/ 39°)… It’s such a great feeling. It’s high quality water and it’s a luxury to be able to use it to bathe (14)in. «This fjord is amazing. It’s very quiet and calm. It has a lot of wild animals. Sometimes you see foxes running around, sometimes there are whales, dolphins. It’s just a great place to recharge and meditate.
    Maybe we are a little bit free-spirited in that way.» ///END OF TEXT///


    Vous devez enlever tous vos vêtements devant tout le monde. Vous laissez votre statut à l'extérieur, il n'y a pas de section VIP, tout le monde est logé à la même enseigne. Vous devez laisser votre téléphone portable à l'extérieur, de sorte que les gens sont obligés de commencer à parler aux autres.
    La plupart des piscines sont à l'extérieur en Islande. L'océan est très froid (peut-être quatre degrés) et puis les piscines sont chaudes (38/39°)... C'est un sentiment génial. C'est de l'eau de bonne qualité et c'est un luxe de pouvoir l'utiliser pour se baigner. « Ce fjord est incroyable. C'est très tranquille et calme. Il y a de nombreux animaux sauvages. Parfois, vous voyez des renards courir, parfois il y a des baleines, des dauphins. C'est juste un endroit idéal pour se ressourcer et méditer.
    Peut-être sommes-nous un petit peu libres d'esprit de cette façon." ///FIN DU TEXTE///.

    Thanks Here4u for your work!
    Stay safe, each of You!
    See you soon.
