    Mediation

    You have finally reached your host family in California and have been staying with them for a couple of weeks now. Yesterday your best friend Dirk came to visit you. You are having a meal together with your guest family and of course they want to know a lot about Dirk. But Dirk’s English is not very good, so you have to translate for him.

    Translate into German what the family says. Then report Dirk’s answer to the guest family. You do not have to translate word by word.

    a. Father: So, what did you do before you arrived here, Dirk?

    You: __________________________________________________________________

    Dirk: Also, zuerst war ich drei Tage in New York. Dort habe ich Sightseeing gemacht, habe mir die Freiheitsstatue angesehen, den Central Park usw. Danach habe ich eine Woche lang meine Tante in Miami besucht. Die spricht  glücklicherweise Deutsch, darüber bin ich sehr froh, denn sonst hätte ich echt ein Problem gehabt.

    You: __________________________________________________________________

    b. Mother: Oh, Miami. I’ve never been there but I imagine it must be really nice. Did you go to the beach there?

    You: __________________________________________________________________

    Dirk: Ja, aber nur an einem Tag. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass hauptsächlich alte Menschen in Miami leben. Vielleicht bin ich aber auch einfach nur zur falschen Zeit da gewesen. Die Ferien haben ja noch nirgends angefangen.

    You: __________________________________________________________________

    c. Father: And how do you like it in California, so far? Do you think it is very different from where you come from in Germany?

    You: __________________________________________________________________

    Dirk: Nun, alles scheint hier viel größer zu sein. Die Straßen sind breiter, die Häuser sind höher, es ist viel lauter in der Stadt und ich glaube, dass ich noch nie zuvor so viele Menschen auf einem Haufen gesehen habe. Aber das ist wohl in großen deutschen Städten wie Berlin auch so. Ich komme vom Land, da bin ich das nicht so gewöhnt.

    You: __________________________________________________________________

    d. Mother: And what are you planning to see while you are here? San Francisco is such a big city, there are so many things worth seeing!

    You: __________________________________________________________________

    Dirk: Nun, ich würde mir sehr gerne die Golden Gate Brücke ansehen. Ich habe sie schon oft im Fernsehen gesehen und glaube, dass es aufregend ist, sie auch mal in Wirklichkeit zu sehen. Außerdem will ich mir auch eine Fahrt mit dem Cable Car nicht entgehen lassen. Ansonsten will ich einfach viel herumlaufen und fotografieren. Hauptsache, das Wetter ist gut!

    You: __________________________________________________________________
