Man soll ja beenden, was man begonnen hat und das Ende des Jahres eigent sich hervorragend dazu, also hier die Übersetzung in korrektes Englisch von dem kiwi-Text von vor einigen Tagen:
"last Sundday we took the very old, and not very well maintained, car into a remote part of the country where my parents used to have a holida home. i had forgotten teh way, and we drove aroun a bit becaue a farmer gave us the wrong information.But then we asked another person whose directions were exactly right and once we found the right road we ha figured it out. By the time we thought of going home, it had got a bit late, so we had to hurry up. We did not feel like cooking dinner so we took home some fish and chips and had them with a couple of small bottles of beer.
Danke für Eure Aufmerksamkeit. Cathrin
