    For your first topic you could say something like;


    Die Wirtschaft in Irland ist schlecht. Es gibt nicht zu viel Arbeitsmöglichkeiten in Irland, für junge Leute und auch für altere Leute mit Qualifikationen. Die Leute mit Jobs bekommen weniger Zahlen als in den Vorjarhen (während des keltische Tiger" z.B), und die Arbeitslosen bekommen weniger Geld von der Regierung ...

    and add anything you can think to say! Continuing on from there you can lead into the lack of money available to spend for people on low incomes because of bills, school fees, mortgages etc, and also the increased number of homeless people since the downturn, and reduction in government spending on infrastructure and so on, I think that would cover you for poverty too.

    For your next one you can say stuff like;

    Ich möchte Lehrerin werden. Ich möchte ... lehren? (Geschichte?)
    Ich interessiere mich für ... weil es {faszinierend z.B} ist.

    You can add where you hope to study to go into teaching, and whether you plan to teach primary/secondary school students and so on.

    Wouldn't be too sure on your 4th point.. maybe stuff about most people being able to contact anyone they need to instantly, coming to a point to where it's nearly essential to have phones and computers etc. If you can think of anything I can help with the German :).

    And for the last one I'm not sure if you meant advantages/disadvantages of the internet or just computers, but again I can help with any translation you might want.


    There may be some mistakes above:rolleyes:..and sorry for the late reply, hope it's useful :).

    Be careful not to fall into the trap of trying to do direct translation from English - it generally doesn't work.
    After a while with German, you realise there are 'German ways' of saying things.
