Read the "Ich über mich" statements by the students from Irkutsk who are participating in the TU Dresden course where they learn about German culture and ways of thinking. Note vocabulary that you can use in your upcoming personal statement. Translate into English either Oksana Zwira's or Irina Anziferowa's statement. This document may go into your career portfolio, so not only should the translation BE good - it should also LOOK GOOD. Scoring Guide: 6: Translations extremely accurate and sound like real English; presentation is suitable for portfolio/ job interview (ready to print); adds an extra feature, such as including the German text, perhaps parallel or sentence-by-sentence with the translation. 5: Almost 6 4: Translation is mostly accurate, but with 1-2 major mistakes and a few poor choices of vocabulary; in a few places it is evident that the English is a translation; presentation is OK (if handwritten, the text is clear). 3: Almost 4 2: Many major errors in translation, including some at the second-year level; non-natural English is frequent; sloppy presentation. 1: Almost 2 |
