Habe den Text jetzt wiedr überarbeitet:

The USA at its worst may be seen in its failure to abolish the death penalty. It is inhumane to kill people. The bible says “You shall not kill”. This is an important point they have to manage and nobody has the right to decide who has to die. Furthermore the difference in the society between poor and rich is explicitly shown in America. If you walk through big cities like New York, you can see homeless people who beg for money everywhere.
Additionally, the crime rate is high. This problem is linked to the “gun-problem” For example in Florida, everyone is allowed to shoot someone if he or she feels threatened. Moreover it is easily to get ammuniton in big supermarkets, even if you are not an adult.


The USA at its best is shown in the film and music industry. Most of movies or music we watch or listen to were produced in Hollywood.
Another point is technology. Most important inventions came from USA and without them the world would never has grown up to what it is now known for us.
Also the typical American sights are attractive for tourists. I think a lot of people would love to see the Statue of Liberty or the Golden Gate Bridge in real. Moreover the beautiful landscape in the USA are/is also attractive, for example the Rocky Mountains or the oldest National Park world-wide in Yellowstone where you can watch for example bears, wolves or `watervolcanos’ called ‘geysirs` very closely.

Hey Leute,

Könnt ihr bitte Korrektulesen?

Task:

Considering how large and varied the USA is, it is not surprising that many people have mixed feelings about the United States.
Write two paragraphs of about 120 words each, one of which begins “The USA at its best...” the other of which begins “The USA at its worst ...” and try and show your own feelings towards the USA.



The USA at its worst is visible in not removing the death penalty. It’s unhuman to kill people. The bible says “You shall not kill”. This is an important point they have to manage. Nobody has the right to decide who has to die. Furthermore the society between poor and rich is explicitly shown in America. If you walk through big Cities like New York, you can see transients who begs for money at every turn.
Additionally the crime rate is high. This problem is linked to the “gun-problem” For example in Florida, everyone is allowed to shoot someone if he or she feels threatens. Moreover its easily to get ammuniton in big supermarkets, even if you are not an adult.
