Hello dears!

Here is the first text from one of your co-writers! Your mission is to help!

EXPRESSION N°1:

Certainly, you need to have some ambition to achieve the goals you have set, to make plans, to realise them. It is not necessary to have an excessive ambition that crushes everyone, but at least the ambition to succeed in one's life, to serve something, the ambition to be useful to others. Otherwise what would be the point of life .... If we are content to sit back, in a comtemplative life, without moving.... I think that everyone is on earth to find their place, to improve their lot or to support the less well off who need help.
There are beautiful ambitions that push us to give the best of ourselves but also crazy ambitions that destroy everything.
We must not make a mistake with our ambitions. 128 mots

Please, indicate the possible mistakes in blue, and underline what you think is clumsy. for your help!

EXPRESSION N°1: ready for final suggestions:

Certainly, you need to have some ambition to achieve the goals you have set, to make plans, to realise them. It is not necessary to have an excessive ambition that crushes everyone, but at least the ambition to succeed in life, to serve something, the ambition to be useful to others.

EXPRESSION N°2:

People without ambition may be said to be boring and lazy. They are sometimes thought to get by and not to have ideals in them.
Ambition is a catalyst for action that helps to surpass oneself and fulfil oneself. It's a quality when the intention is to make progress, achieve great things to build a brighter future for everyone.
As Jules Renard wrote: "Dream of great things, at least, you will be able to achieve small ones."
On the other hand, ambition becomes harmful when it tends to crush others. Ambitious people who pursue power avidly, who impose their will on others without their acceptance may be considered dictators. In not-so-ancient history, the immoderate ambitions of heads of state led millions of people to death and millions of other people to exodus. With overinflated egos, they selfishly acted for their own personal glorification. (146)

EXPRESSION N°3:

We know very celebreted people who had won thanks to their important ambition and therefore, may conclude that it’s a necessary attitude. To be ambitious needs self confidence and self love. When you’re ambitious, you think you have things to offer, you are in a way a model to imitate and follow. When you see the number of totaly unknown influencers on the social networks you understand that excessive ambition may be problematic. These people are self declaring « specialists » of a field or exposed any idea without method and no knowledge.It gives them an importance. If you have a little critical mind, read them or hear them is a torture and you wander how people can « reason » so stupidly, and how they can seriously think they deserve their « followers » (or mindless sheep…). Ambition is a mean to get to your well-defining (or not) goal, it must be reasonably measured. Not everybody can be leader. 143 words


Les deux étapes d'aide pourront être faites par le même post en deux copies distinctes du texte : la première avec les erreurs possibles mises en bleu, et les maladresses soulignées. La seconde donnera vos suggestions en vert.

Nos suggestions seront récapitulées demain soir.

(3) necessary to have an excessive ambition that crushes everyone, : me gêne par sa maladresse.
(4) to serve something ? maladroit et obscur.
- on entend "less well-off countries / regions/ provinces" … mais «less well-off people» me gêne… (people with the least money ?/ the less wealthy people ?/ ou passer par le comparatif/ superlatif de supériorité avec adjectif négatif – poorest- more/ most destitute.../
Cette expression ne comporte pas de grosses fautes, mais « sent » le texte traduit du français à l’anglais (pensé en français !)… avec des formulations qui ne seraient pas naturelles chez un native … Dommage ! magie pour les suggestions !

READY TO BE CORRECTED

Hello Here4U

Expression 1:
(3) To have an excessive ambition that could be detrimental to others
the ambition to succeed in life, to serve a cause

We must not be mistaken in our ambition


Dans l'expression 2, je pensais get by dans le sens : vivoter : scrape by
Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi tu as souligné fulfil (ortographié avec un seul l, qui est britannique) ?
Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi tu as souligné : to make progress, achieve great things
Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi tu as souligné : who impose their will on others without their acceptance may be considered to be dictators



Dans l'expression 3, je n'ai pas compris pourquoi tu as souligné cette partie : 'Ambition is a means to get your goal achieved, be it well-defined or not

Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi "have a critical mind" n'est pas bon ? (ou en tout cas moins bon que think critically)

Hello!

Tu t'en( / m'en ) poses des questions ... et tu ne comprends rien à rien (Kidding, of course!) Voyons ...

(3) To have an excessive ambition that could be detrimental to others
the ambition to succeed in life, to serve a cause

We must not be mistaken in our ambition Je crois que dire "to have excessive ambition could be detrimental to others" serait moins maladroit en ce que tu ne déterminerais pas cette ambition qui est préjudiciable dans tous les cas ...
Ensuite tes suggestions ont OK.


Dans l'expression 2, je pensais get by dans le sens : vivoter : scrape by
Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi tu as souligné fulfil (orthographié avec un seul l, qui est britannique) ?
Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi tu as souligné : to make progress, achieve great things
Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi (alors, CHERCHE ! "souligner", veut dire que ça me "chatouille l'esprit ou l'oreille ...", pas que c'est faux !) ) tu as souligné : who impose their will on others without their acceptance may be considered to be dictators

D'accord pour le sens de "get by"!
Définitions proposées par les Oxford Languages · En savoir plus
get by
verbe à particule issu de "get"
manage with difficulty to live or accomplish something.
"he had just enough money to get by"
Synonymes :manage/cope/ survive/ exist/ subsist


mais si tu écris "thought to get by and not to have ideals in them." (not clear ? contradiction in the two segments?) je persiste à dire qu'à la lecture, on a l'impression que tu sous-entends que si on "get by", on ne peut pas avoir d'idéaux ... et ça me gêne vraiment ! Eh bien oui ... je ne vois pas pourquoi quelqu'un qui a des difficultés à "survivre" ne pourrait pas avoir d'idéaux !

* fulfil: fulfill je l'ai souligné, juste pour attirer l'attention sur la note qui allait suivre (ou comme je disais autrefois, "pour faire parler les bavards" ... et ça a marché !"

* "Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi tu as souligné : to make progress, achieve great things"
Euh ! "to make progress" tout court m'a gênée ... (C'est mon droit, non ... ) j'attendais "to make progress on .... ' qui aurait clarifié le propos ...

Dans l'expression 3, je n'ai pas compris pourquoi tu as souligné cette partie : 'Ambition is a means to get your goal achieved, be it well-defined or not

"to get your goal achieved" est très maladroit et symptomatique d'une pensée traduite. "To achieve your goal" is clear enough!

Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi "have a critical mind" n'est pas bon ? (ou en tout cas moins bon que think critically)
Lien internet
avoir l’esprit critique

Ne te triture pas l'esprit ... Il y a ce qui se dit, ce qui ne se dit pas, ou se dit rarement, (en fonction des personnes à qui tu parles ...)! Ne t'interdis pas la spontanéité et de dire ce que tu as envie de dire, même si, ensuite, tu dois t'expliquer ! It's part of the game ! Parler, c'est s'exprimer ET communiquer ... du moment que ça marche, ton but est atteint !
