i had to write a bookreview in english and the teacher gave me 19/50 cause he was shitting on some tiny minor mistakes. And i don't even get why its wrong, i can't even believe it IS wrong tbh :s
My sentence :
Jane is a very honest and loyal girl, who never could tell life is easy
teacher :
Jane is a very honest and loyal girl, for whom life was never easy
my sentence :
She can put her feelings and emotions aside, and take decisions which she believes are right in the ethical an moral view
teacher :
She can put her feelings and emotions aside, and take decisions which she believes are ethically and morally right
my sentence :
I feel sad to say, that to me, the best thing that the book had to offer is bringing you in the atmosphere of that time and place.
teacher :
I feel sad to say that to me the best thing about the book is that it brings you in the atmosphere of that time and place.
my sentence:
If you want to read an exciting story, you definitely do not have to start with this book.
teacher :
If you want to read an exciting story, this is definitely not it.
and a few more of these things. Is this really wrong ? :s

Maybe that's why?!

Wat jij doet is eigenlijk heel letterlijk uit het Nederlands vertalen, je moet het wat grammaticaal correcter maken
also, what exactly r u trying to accomplish by posting this on here. if say evan would have come on here and told u you were totally right wud u have shown the teacher saying he has to give u an A for ur report? :P
i would go to the teacher and say that i asked someone from the uk whether its wrong or not, and that he said it wasn't. So i would have asked him how I had to know it was wrong , when someone from the uk didn't even know it was, bla bla lba :)
20 = people like me
Seriously man,I must admit,90 % of PL people abroad can't speak shit in english,but they are also above age of 25 so they had been brought up on ruins of communism,far from western culture !!
But younger generation knows at least a bit of english + fluent german (that's and option they give you in school, 2 lang. and it's up to you which you want to have as main subject on exams !! )
Embarassing but it will change during upcoming years !
;(
and whats yer fucking problem anyways?
I usually never have my phone with me though :(
You explain two things but mix it up, were as hitting them both in one point is what the teacher did.
its correct but you've over done it.
last year, when we had those English-speaking-exams, they told us we could get an extra high grade if we could talk in any nation's accent, like Scottish, Irish, UK-ish, American, as long as it wasn't on a dutch accent. [dutch] Twengels (twents Engels) [/dutch].
