The Amish

Today I want to give you my presentation about the Amish people.
The Amish are a very strange group of people who live in America.
(They life in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and in Wisconsin)

History
In the 18th century they were travelled from Germany to the USA because in Germany they had many problems with their religion.
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 Jacob Amman; and that is why they are called the Amish.

Today
Amish can be categorized in two groups, the New Order and the Old Order Amish:
The New Order are not as strict as the Old Order (The Mennonite Amish).
They are allowed to use electricity and other many technological things. For the Old Order it is forbidden.
They live like the people 200 years ago because they prefer a simple life, that means:
· They don ’ t have modern machines (So they don ’ t allow cars or television for example, because it could lead to pride and gossip. The community may put a phone in a barn or outside phone booth, to deliberately make it inconvenient to use).
· They create the power on their own and they drive in coaches which are pulled by horses.
Amish beliefs include the concept that God will judge them on how well they obeyed the church rules during their lifetime, and contact with the outside world makes it harder to obey their rules.
Everyone has a very big family, it is normal to have 8 to 10 children. The parents found a big family because one time the children have to lead the farm and earn the money.
· They have to work very hard:
Work on fields is very hard, because they have to do the whole work only with the help of horses.
Building houses and barns: without cranes.
Besides they do not earn enough money by their farms, sometimes the products are too expensive, or people are not interested in buying the products because for them it is easier and faster to go to the supermarket.
Or the crop is too low. That is also why the Amish have to go into the next city with their buggies to work.
You’ll see them riding down the street, among the cars on highways, old-fashioned buggies pulled by horse with a couple of Amish farmers riding along.
When the Amish are 16 years old, they have the chance to go out, in the modern real-life and can choose between their Amish life or our normal life.

Which language they speak?
What we’re hearing is a German dialect mostly known as Pennsylvania Dutch or Pennsylvania German. Calling it “Dutch” doesn’t mean it is connected to the Dutch language, instead it mostly comes from a German dialect called “Deitsch.”
It sounds like….

Education:
They go to school for just eight years and all courses are in one room, very unusual. After these eight years they have to help with the farm, they have to work and later they have to lead the farm.
Children learn English when they go to school.
Cloths:
They have their own rules of dressing:
Women and girls have to wear long sleeves and a full skirt.
They never cut their hair. They wear their hair as a bun on the back of the head.
On the bun, they wear a bonnet, which is white if they are married and black if they are not married.
Men and boys have to wear dark suits, broad trousers with suspenders, black socks and shoes and a broad hat. After marriage, they have to have a beard, but no moustache.
All the rules are written down in the `Ordnung`

House and Farm:
Now I will show you some photos from the inside their house.

The wedding:
Boys and girls begin their search for a spouse when they turn sixteen.
By the time a young woman turns twenty or a young man is in his early twenties, he or she is probably looking forward to the wedding day.
The young man asks his girl to marry him, but he does not give her a diamond. He may give her china or a clock.
Some 200 to 400 relatives, friends and church members are invited to the ceremony, which is held in the bride’s home.

The products what they sell are…

Now I want to show you a short video about the Amish life.

Könnte das so passen? Oder soll ich nach dem Video noch was dazu sagen?
Denn auf der Folie steht, thank you for your attention.

Vielen vielen Dank
MFG Jenny

Du hast ein paar kleine Fehler in deinem Text :)

History
In the 18th century they were travelled (welche Zeitform ist das?) from Germany to the USA because in Germany they had many problems with their religion.
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 Jacob Amman; and that is why they are called the Amish.
(Entweder du schreibst "were traveling" oder "travelled")
Today
Amish can be categorized in two groups, the New Order and the Old Order Amish:
The New Order are not as strict as the Old Order (The Mennonite Amish). They are allowed to use electricity and other many (entweder "other" oder "many") technological things. For the Old Order it is forbidden.

The parents found a big family because one time the children have to lead the farm and earn the money. (warum found? was soll das heißen?)

Now I will show you some photos from the inside of their houses.

Nun zu der Frage mit dem Video: Was zeigt das Video genau? Und wird das Video durch einen Sprecher/in unterstützt oder könntest du noch was dazu/dazwischen sagen?

Today I want/would like to tell you something about the Amish people.
They are a group of traditional Christians..., who live /reside in some parts of the United States such as Pennsylvania, ...) (Du kannst ruhig erwähnen, in welche Richtung Sie tendieren..)

Wenn du "very strange" schreibst, wirst du subjektiv. Bleib bei einem Referat objektiv

Teilweise Korrektur von Helena.

History
In the 18th century they were travelled (welche Zeitform ist das?) from Germany to the USA because in Germany they had many problems with their religion.

Es ist nicht notwendig hier 2x "Germany" zu erwähnen, da der erste Satz es schon vorsagt. Außerdem sollte/könnte man versuchen nochmals das exakte Thema oder den Namen des Themas im ersten Satz zu erwähnen, sprich "The Amish". Es ist außerdem keine "Reise", sondern eine Auswanderung (immigration).

->The Amish immigrated in the 18th century from Germany to the United States, because they faced/experienced many problems/difficulties practising their religion/belief.

Their ancestors came/originated from Switzerland and Southern Germany, because they had to flee/escape from Europe in 1963 due to their belief, which was not tolerated. They eventually ended up in North America.

The leader of this group was called Jacob Amman and that is why they are called "The Amish" /, hence the name "The Amish".

Du hast "were" followed durchgestrichen, darf ich fragen warum? Es ist richtig zu schreiben "were followed".

Today
"The Amish" can be categorized in two groups, The New and The Old Order Amish"

The parents found a big family because one time the children have to lead the farm and earn the money. (warum found? was soll das heißen?). Ich nehme an, dass Sie ausdrücken will, dass sie große Familien gründen "müssen", damit die Kinder bzw. der Nachwuchs ihre Arbeit weiterführen können. Ich übersetze es erstmal nicht, da ich nicht 100%ig weiß, ob Sie es so haben möchte.

Now I will show you some photos from the inside of their houses.

Das meiste mit /... ist eine "bessere" Ausdrucksweise, die du verwenden kannst, aber nicht musst.
