Hallo Tutoren,
dieser Reisebericht soll ins past tense übertragen werden. Dabei hatte ich etwas Probleme. Es wäre schön, wenn ihr meinen Versuch mal durchsehen könntet.
Dank im Voraus.
Liebe Grüße, Ingeburg
Hier der Originaltext:
After having packed my suitcases and ensuring that I had not forgotten my passport and tickets, I had to travel north to Hamburg. Here I go aboard the ferry to Harwich and from here, I travel to London by train, the largest city in Europe.
The first difference to Germany is that in Britain they drive on the left, so the taxi drives me to the hotel on the "wrong" side of the road.
On the next day I visit the most famous London sights, the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. These sights were built in different eras, so you can experience a lot of history and different architectural styles all in "one go".
The second day is reserved for Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament with their clock tower, Big Ben.
Now it is time to catch the train to Llangollen in North Wales to a typical eisteddfod.
Here you can see many groups singing and dancing and get to know the very difficult Welsh language. From Llangollen, I travel to Llandudno to mount the Great Orme and take a ride on a donkey's back along the seaside. I return to Llangollen with the historic steam-railway that brings me through many old miners' towns.
Next I want to see Britain’s best-known lake, the Loch Ness, but not only to possibly see Nessie. Scotland, with its many other lakes, moors, mountains, islands and ancient castles, is rightly regarded as a beautiful country.
Therefore, I want to stay some days to fish for the famous salmon and to visit some Whisky distilleries and other sights. In this part of Britain, you encounter yet another language, Gaelic - right at Edinburgh train-station the visitor is greeted with a Caid Mile FÃ ilte - A hundred-thousand Welcomes.
Of course, I stop in Edinburgh to climb the old volcano, Athur's Seat, and to visit Edinburgh Castle. A long walk down the Royal Mile takes me to Holyrood Palace, the Palace where the Queen resides when she visits Scotland.
On my way back to London, I stop in historic York to visit the very famous Minster and the Old Town. To rest from all my travels, I relax at Betty's Tea Shop, which offers over 100 sorts of Tea and Coffee.
Having gained so many new impressions in England, Wales and Scotland, I decide to travel to Northern Ireland the next time I go to Britain.
On the ferry back home, all those little differences cross my mind:
The traffic on the "wrong side of the road", the heavy British Pound coins and even Scottish Pound Notes, the somewhat strange food called "Fish and Chips" that is served in a newspaper and drowned in vinegar, and, finally yet importantly, all those really helpful and friendly people I have met on my journeys.
