Englisch Referat

Hi @ Englisch Spezialisten!


Wer kann mir wohl bitte gerade meine Fehler in meinem Referat verbessern?

-today I want to give you a short presentation about the „Amish people“
- the “Amish people” are a group of people who live in America and they live like the people
200 years ago
-> because they defeat the progress in any sense and prefer a simple life
that means:
-they don’t have modern machines
(so they don’t allow cars or television for example)
-they create the power on their own
-they drive in coaches which are pulled by horses

- when a person or some people of their group want to introduce new
technical innovations, the community sits together and they discuss if the
innovation is helpful and makes sense

-the “Amish” put great emphasis on traditional values, like
family, community, religion and even
seclusion from the outside world
(that means they try to avoid any contact to the normal society)

-their ancestors came from Switzerland and South Germany
because in 1693 the “Amish” had to withdraw from Europe because they were
followed due to their belief
so they escaped to Pennsylvania (to the north of America)
the leader of the group was called Jakob Amman ;
and that is why they are called the “Amish”

-the “Amish” are very religious and believe in the bible and in god
they have got stringent regulations
(the people who don’t conform to the regulations are dismissed from the community)

-in the past the “Amish” lived on agriculture
but today there are also craftsmen in many departments

very typical for the “Amish” is their outward appearance:
-all men have got a full beard
-and all of the women have got a headdress,
(so that one cannot see see their hair

-a normal Amish family has got 7 to 10 children
the children go to private schools
there they only learn reading, writing and mathematics,
(because the “Amish” think that all other subjects are bad and not necessary for their children)
so science isn’t taught at the schools there
-the “Amish” live in 26 states of the USA
and most of them live in Ohio and Pennsylvania
-at the moment there are still 250.000 Amish people
(a quarter of a million)
-but because of the great number of children, every 20 years the number of Amish people
reduplicated (that means becomes twice as many)
