richtig? Es war ein sehr intensives Jahr fuer mich ... Drei Umzüge, drei städte, zwei Arbeiten ...Alles war sehr kaotisch und komisch ... Ich kann sagen, dass es mir gefallen hat. Ich habe wenige Freunden getroffen, die wichtige fuer mich geworden sind. Ich habe endlich mein Deutsch ein bisschen verbessert, die Sprache ich zu viel liebe. Die sprache, dass lass mich mit spezielle Leute reden. Diese Leute weg weit sind, aber ich fuehle sie in meiner Nähe. Danke alles!

Korrekt? Liebe Prof. Tim, wie geht's in Augsburg? Danke sehr für Ihren Rat. Ich konnte Pino Mario nicht. Ich habe das Buch durch Kindle heruntengeladen. Ich mag diese neue Technologie nicht (besser ein Buch von Papier gemacht), aber es billiger und schnell ist. Ab September fange ich es zu lesen und dann sage ich Ihnen was ich darüber denke. Ich habe gerade ein Buch beendet. Sicher Sie kennen es: Traumnovelle von Arthur Schnitzler. Ich finde es nett, sehr beeinflusst von Freud (Ich habe gelesen, dass Schnitzler und Freud Freunde waren). Dann habe ich auch verstanden, dass das Buch hat auch Kubrik beeinflusst. Ich hatte das Film “Eyes Wide Shut” gesehen, aber ich es nicht mochte (Zu langsam und langweilig!). Ich schreibe gerade mein erst Drehbuch für eine Freundin, die Regisseurin ist. Wir wollen Marcovaldo von Calvino aufführen. Ich bin sehr aufgeregt, weil ich keine Bühnenbearbeiterin, ich mag nur schreiben und lesen! Ich habe auch Calvino in dem Spiel “hineinlegen” und was habe ich in Deutschland gelebt (zum Beispiel was habe ich ueber DDR gelernt). Das ist ein bisschen modern, ich hoffe nicht mühevoll. Vielleicht klingt es interessant, aber es ist nu einen einfach Text!

richtig? Manchmal vermisse ich Leipzig. Was macht die Leute heute dort? Vielleicht einen Grill oder sie gehen auf den Cospundener See. Ich soll noch die Idee angenommen, dass ich in Italien nochmal bin.

Is this text correct? The ideas I would like to share and realize in Jugend-& Kulturmel are related to the cultural exchanges. It would be great to organize events in which people from different countries talk about their traditions and culture to others. It would be nice if the people who talk during these events would choose a specific and useful theme to share (I mean something concrete, for example “how to cook a national cake” or “how to built a particular instrument”, “how to sew a traditional dress” or “how to dance a traditional dance”).

Is this short text correct? I can also be helpful during the activities with my computer and creative skills. For one and half years, I worked in a cultural association as web editor. I wrote reviews of new album releases, acted as a liaison with artistes and event organizers, as well as being an interviewer and pollster for the events. In the meantime, I learnt how to use Wordpress, SEO and Photoshop. I am also good with Film shooting/editing, in fact I can use Windows Movie Maker. I also have in-depth knowledge of MS Office and the Internet. I also worked for six month for an online magazine, where I was a web editor in the socio-cultural section and since a week, I have finished a three months internship in an eCommerce&Marketing company in Berlin. As for creative abilities, I love to write and draw. Since I was young I have participated to a lot of contests. One of my short stories was published on a website and when I was at the secondary school I organized with my teacher and my classmates an exhibition of our works. Being an EVS volunteer would allow me to gain even more knowledge and experience and a foothold into the type of work I have always dreamt about: to connect every form of creativity with the respect of different cultures and the environment. It would be very exciting for me to contribute in such a great lifelong learning project. I think that everyday we must concentrate our efforts towards being active citizen of Eu. By knowing how to respect the nature and to love arts, would life and the world become a better place for all of us and for the future generations. I hope that you would consider me as the right candidate. I look forward to our future co-operation

is this text correct? Dear Organisation, My name is Anna Merli, I am 27 and I am Italian. I read with great interest the EVS programme of the association Jugend&Hyuproject e.V. and I decided to send my candidature. I found the purposes of this association stimulating, because I think that it is important to spread the most important values like the respect of different cultures, races and of our environment. Furthermore, I am impressed of what the association organizes. I have always been fond of organizing events like youth exchanges, training courses, meetings etc., because I have a very organizational and creative nature, and I love to work in a group, especially when the team shares such enthusiasm and ideas to develop a common project. I have an amicable and sociable nature and, at the same time, I believe a job well done is a passion in my outlook on life. In my past work experiences I learnt how to deal with people from different cultures and with young people. This is thanks to my job as a barmaid in Germany and in the United Kingdom, as a group leader managing a kids’ tour. I can speak English very well and now I am attending a German course (Niveau B2). As for educational abilities, I have proven myself capable of such a task when I was a language teacher for a school where I had not only to teach the kids Italian but also to impart cultural aspects. During this training I understood that being a language teacher is not only a way to help other people learn a foreign idiom, but also a way to introduce students to the values and heritage of other countries. I also worked for two years with a disabled girl, I helped her doing her homeworks and I had to found exercises to stimulate her left lobe (which was damaged).

Are these few sentences correct? The sending organization paid for me travels, insurance, local transportation; the host organitation paid for the accomodation and the board Everything was paid by the sending and the host organisation except for the transportations (we paid for them, but we will have a refund). I visited museums, libraries, parks and I went out with my friends. The Leonardo Da Vinci project is a fantastic project, but demanding demands experience, I suggest to ask for help at work if there is something that you can't do and to ask again when you don't understand something. It's important to be honest, to have willing willingness to learn, and accept a new culture. It would be great if every participant could work only using the language of the host Country (or at least only English)

right or wrong ? In Padua I attended a preparatory language course to get ready for the experience abroad. In Leipzig I attended a German course offered by the hosting organitation which allowed me to get integrated in the new environment and I received support from the send and host organitation. Furthermore, the hosting organisation suggested me to follow a daily language course to improve my communication skills.
