D'accord. Je suis "américaine" parce que j'habite dans les États-Unis, mais je suis en fait italienne. Mais je ne parle pas italien; je parle anglais et je parle français.

Hi, I have a presentation in French tomorrow and I can't translate this. Can someone fluent please help?

"The main problem with bangkok's environmental issues is pollution. Bangkok is a big city and has lots of traffic. To improve this problem, the government could pass a law for fewer cars. 3 things a person can do is to reduce, re use and recycle. I try to reduce my use of electricity. In my opinion, we must all act now before it is too late and future generations suffer. We should all start recycling and reducing our use of limited resources."

Oswin wrote:I'm still rather baffled by formalities...
If I was meeting someone my age for the first time, would I use tu or vous? What is the approximate age cutoff for using vous? Does it relate to my own age, their age, or a mixture of both? (Should I use vous for someone five years older than me? Anyone older than seventeen?) I also have been emailing one person my age and another three years younger than me but doing so in English and I will be going to meet them in person soon. Can I go right to tu since we have already talked before, or should I use vous because it is our first formal meeting?
I'm sorry to ask so many questions, but not even people I know who have been in my situation can give me a solid answer and I'm a little bit desperate to find out in order to not embarrass myself.
If they say 'tu tutoies' (infinitive is tutoyer, not regular) use tu afterwards, because they are saying that you can use tu with them. I would say leave it up to them, because they know the language better and they know when it's appropriate.
Although if you are a learner, and they know that, they wouldn't get offended like they may do with another francophone as you're still learning, and for English speakers there's no difference between the two, so having to use two different 'yous' is extra hard!
(Also 'vousvoyer' is the verb 'to ask someone to address you as vous')

''Le principal problème avec les questions environnementales de Bangkok est la pollution. Bangkok est une grande ville et a beaucoup de trafic. Pour améliorer cette situation, le gouvernement pourrait adopter une loi pour moins de voitures. 3 choses qu'une personne peut faire est de réduire, réutiliser et recycler les utiliser. J'essaie de réduire ma consommation d'électricité. À mon avis, nous devons tous agir maintenant avant qu'il ne soit trop tard et les générations futures souffrent. Nous devrions tous commencer à recycler et de réduire notre utilisation des ressources limitées''
là vous allez! bonne chance!

Tu peux chercher dans ton ordinateur pour 'character map', il y a tous les accents que tu as besoin de pour francais. Aussi pour moi je peux appuyer 'AltGr+vowel' et avoir áéíóú, c'est tout. Mais j'ai un clavier britannique, donc ca pourrait différent.
