Comment		Einiges kannst Du selbst schon mal korrigieren, wie z.B. die Leerzeichen vor den Kommas ... ... und Begriffe wie z.B. famouse, marshel, stuadess, solltest Du in korrekter Schreibweise im Wörterbuch finden ... ... und was meinst Du mit "The ... movie ... was non-stop" ?

Comment		Zwei Tipps: Der Text ist extrem mühsam zu lesen, weil er nicht nur nicht in Absätze aufgeteilt ist, sondern weil auch an vielen Stellen die Leerzeichen fehlen. Mach am besten eine Rechtschreibprüfung, da sind noch viele Fehler drin.

#3	Author	Werner (236488)	07 Apr 16, 18:38
Comment		Neben Leerzeichen vor den Kommas sind auch einige Kommas falsch oder fehlen völlig, beginnend mit dem in der ersten Zeile nach "movie"; fehlen tut eines in der zweiten Zeile nach "Neeson".

Comment		Der Film heisst Non-stop. Und ja , tut mir leid. Aber es ging mir eher um die Sprache etc. Da es für eine mündliche Prüfung ist

Comment		Mitten drin gesehen: Du schreibst: he becames a text message from ... Nein! ---> he got a text message from - oder - he received .... 'he became a text message' hieße 'er wurde eine sms'. 'to become' heißt nicht: erhalten. Sondern 'werden'. Es sind noch viele andere un-englische Wendungen drin. Zu viele Kommas, viele Rechtschreibfehler... 1. Zeile, erster Satzteil The latest movie ,that I watched on the TV --> The last movie I watched on TV 2. Zeile: whose name is ... ---- Mal gefragt: Welche Klasse bist du denn? Und wenn wir hier den ganzen Text auf gutes Englisch korrigieren: Nützt das denn was, wenn du dann bei Fragen deiner Prüfer/Lehrerinnen wieder auf niedrigerem Niveau antwortest? Ich wäre da bissl vorsichtig. Aber vielleicht kann dir der ein oder andere hier noch Tipps geben.

Comment		Nochmal dies und das und durcheinander: The latest movie ,that I watched on the TV was non-stopThe latest movie I watched on TV was called "Non-stop". he catch ---> he catches Denk an das s, was immer an die 3. Person Singular drangehängt wird. So auch hier: Bill take his mobile and watch the videos - nein! Unbedingt lernen... ---> Bill takes his mobile and watches the videos. They must also immediately land,because the bomb can explore at any time. They must also land immediately because the bomb can explode at any time. to a specific bankaccount --> to a certain / special bank account

Comment		He will kill a passenger every 20 minutes if Bill ... etwas einfacher zu verstehen, wenn man es umdreht: the message says if Bill does not (doesn't) transfer x Dollar.... the unknown person will kill a passenger every 20 minutes.

Comment		Ich sehe zwar gerade, dass Braunbärin es schon erwähnt hat, aber ich sage es vorsichtshalber noch einmal: Achte auf die Konjugation der Verben. Dritte Person Singular braucht im Präsens immer ein "s", also Bill sees, watches, takes, catches etc. In einer mündlichen Prüfung fällt das sofort als Fehler auf - und es gehört auch zu den Grundkenntnissen, also wird man dir das entsprechend ankreiden, wenn du es falsch machst ... Viel Glück bei deiner Prüfung! :)

Comment		[correcting as I "think/ IMHO" understand the poster's intended translation] The latest movie ,(~~that~~) I watched on the TV was (a) non-stop (action / thriller)~~.

(The previous statement could be worded better: (An Air Marshall is someone present on every flight to ensure flight safety by observing the actions / behavior of the passengers - or something to that effect). One D(d)ay he had to fly from NYC to London. A few minutes later on the flight he ~~becames~~ (receives or received) a text message from an unknown passenger.

Comment		The last movie~~, that~~ I watched on the TV was Non-Stop. This is an action thriller starring Liam Nesson, an actor (who is very) well known for his lead roles in action films. The film is about a man called Bill, a Federal Air Marshal, who often travels to detect, deter, and defeat hostile acts[1]. One day he is deployed on a flight travelling from NYC to London. A few minutes later onboard the flight, he receives a text message from an unknown passenger who threatens to kill a passenger every 20 minutes if $150 million is not transferred (Bill doesn't do any transferring, another person or system would do this) to a (given/specified) bank account. The terrorist (claims he?) has planted a bomb in the airplane, which Bill must (defuse? resolve?). With the help from stewardess, he (attempts/tries) to (find/locate) this person (can't assume the person is a man at this point). While doing so, he apprehends numerous people, all of which turn out not to be the unknown passenger sending him these messages. At the end, Bill sees a young boy who had filmed what happened during the flight. Bill takes out his mobile phone and watches the videos (sent to him), so that he can see who this unknown passenger is. He (approaches/goes up to) the man (was men, plural, intended here?) and they (fight/start fighting). While this is going on, the plane must land immediately because the bomb could detonate at any time. This film has become one of my (favourite/favorite) films. I find it has the most important aspects (of a film/that a film should have). First of all the acting; the actors (play/perform) realistically and it is (constantly exiting/a constant rush/a constant nail-biter). [1] -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Air_Mar... Again, just played about with what I think you intended to say. The bits in brackets are suggestions or options, sometimes questions to prompt you to say what you actually want to say. I've correct quite a bit, if you want any explanations, feel free to ask.

Comment		adjusting comments in #15 based on inputs from #17 and re-writing to improve legibility. The last movie I watched on TV was called Non-Stop, an action / thriller type film starring Liam Neeson, who is famous / very well-known for his starring / lead roles in action films. This film is about a man named / called Bill. Bill is an Air Marshall . An air or sky Marshall is someone who must fly all the time so he can check what happens during / on the flight or at the airport. The previous statement could be worded better: An Air Marshall is someone present on every flight to ensure flight safety by observing the actions / behavior of the passengers - or something to that effect). One day he had to fly from NYC to London. A few minutes later into the flight he receives an anonymous text message from a passenger. The message says that they / this unidentified / anonymous person will kill a passenger every 20 minutes if Bill doesn't transfer $150 Million to a specific bank account. The terrorist had also placed a bomb in the airplane, so Bill has to solve to problems (investigate?). With the help from the stewardess, he tries to find the man / men. Sometimes he catches or apprehends the wrong person. In the end Bill sees a young boy who had filmed what happened during the flight. Bill takes his mobile (smart phone?) and watches the videos so he can see / identify who it is. He approaches the man / men and they fight with each other. They must also immediately land because the bomb can explode or detonate at any time. This film has become one of my favourite (=BE spelling / AE = favorite) films. I find it has the most important aspects of a film. First of all the acting. The actors must play realistic and it was all the time exciting. I have no idea what this last statement is trying to say. Maybe, "The actors perform realistically while maintaining excitement throughout the film which keeps the viewer / audience on the edge of their seats throughout the movie..." (?). The last bolded statement is my interpretation of what the poster hoped to express (or of the poster's thoughts).

Comment		I would have said use either Federal Air Marshal or Sky Marshal, because an Air Marshal is someone in the RAF (Royal Air Force). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_marshal Also, the last 2 sentences should be combined, like how I did with a semicolon, as the second sentence adds on explanation to the first.

Comment		I wanted to say, why I like this film :/ Guys,thank you so much for your help!!!!

Comment		I know that you're working for spoken English, but you really do need to review the rules for comma placement in English as well such as your use of a comma before "why" in #21.
