Bonjour,
En classe, nous travaillons actuellement sur l'histoire d'Ellis Island. Notre professeur nous a demandé d'écrire un texte de 200 mots en nous mettant à la place d'un immigrant en partance pour Ellis Island, de raconter son départ, son voyage et son arrivée. Je pense avoir fait quelques erreurs... Pourriez-vous m'aider à les trouver ?
Merci d'avance pour votre réponse !
D.1:
This is it. Today is the time for me to leave home. I have been preparing this one way journey for months. Now, I can see the landscape of Warsaw, my homeland, running and I’m thinking about my family. They may be still crying. I hope that they will be able to join me soon. Besides I wish I could manage my life in America…The train is stopping…
D.2:
I didn’t sleep a lot. Indeed I left the train station very early. I will walk during two days.
I’m looking forward to arriving to the boat! I have saved money just enough to make my journey… I’m exciting!
D.5:
I’m arriving yesterday! Unfortunately, there are a lot of people… Whereas first and second class citizens have cabins, the third class sleeps in the hold and on the steerage. It’s dirty and overcrowded! I’m afraid however I want to fulfil my dream…
D.10:
The see is calm. On the contrary, I’m anxious and I’m feeling lonely… I miss my family…
If I made an upward mobility I would send money to Warsaw! They will be proud of their son.
D.27:
When I saw the Statue of Liberty it was amazing! Men asked me a lot then they said “Welcome to the land of the free!”
America, I’m here!

Hello gerondif,
Donc : wish I hope I will manage my life in America / I will walk for two days / I’m excited / Yesterday, I arrived (parce qu'il est arrivé sur le bateau la veille) / the third class sleep / ?
(Pour "Men asked me a lot", je voulais en fait dire que des hommes lui avaient posé beaucoup de questions)

When I saw the Statue of Liberty it was amazing! Men asked me a lot (les hommes m'ont demandé beaucoup ne veut rien dire, the customs officers asked me a lot of questions, ok))then they said “Welcome to the land of the free!” (je ne sais pas comment reformuler "men asked me a lot"...)

Hello,
I’m feel lonely !!
Réponse: Correction/Diary of Immigrant de happyboy3311, postée le 26-09-2013 à 22:12:18 (S | E)
Ce serait "I feel lonely" au lieu de "I'm feeling" ? Mais, s'il veut dire qu'il se sent seul, pourquoi il n'y a pas de "am" s'il vous plait ?
Réponse: Correction/Diary of Immigrant de gerondif, postée le 26-09-2013 à 22:21:52 (S | E)
Well,
The sea is calm. On the contrary, I’m anxious and I’m feeling(I feel suffirait) lonely… I miss my family…
Bien, sur un verbe de sentiment, le présent simple pourrait suffire, pas la peine de dire: je suis en train de me sentir seul. Vous dites bien: I miss my family et non pas I am missing my family, c'est un peu pareil.
il serait bien d'utiliser although, bien que:
Although the sea is calm, I can't help being/feeling .....anxious,( pourquoi pas mais il peut aussi signifier "très désireux de") nervous/ ill-at ease / insecure /frightened/. Moreover, I feel lonely and I miss my family.
