Translation Help Needed Plz

I was born on the 13th of June 1998, a few years before my best friend Joe. I've always liked having my birthday in the summer because it means I can have a barbeque with all my friends and family without having to worry about the weather ruining it too much. However, the bad thing about my birthday is that it usually falls on a school day, so I generally have to wait until I get back home from school before I open my presents. I was expected to be born 4 days before, but I was late. I like to use this as an excuse in my life about why I'm normally late for things all the time!

Despite the fact that I live in England, I'm actually half italian! Many people fail to realise this on first glance because I speak english so well and also look english due to my English half. I love being able to tell people I'm partially italian because it usually seems to make me sound a lot more interesting than I really am, and therefore it can act as a good conversation-starter. However, I wish that I looked a little bit more italian because some people don't believe me straight away and that makes me angry.

I moved to Grimsby in England with my family when I was about 4 years old and, due to being so very young, I can't even remember ever having lived in Italy at all! Although, sometimes when my family start to talk a bit about life in Italy, I occasionally begin to picture in my mind what it must have been like, and it sounds wonderful to be honest! I'd love to maybe visit where we lived before in Italy one day because I would love to compare my idea of how it is to how it really is.

I have always wanted a younger brother with whom I could play. I think I would also feel more comfortable and less lonely if there was another child in the house. But, the good thing about being the only child is that you get more attention, which I honestly would say is always a good thing! Additionally, I get more presents than the rest of my friends at Christmas and birthdays because my parents are able to spend all the money on me, instead of having to split it between two children. My parents say that we can't financially afford another child, but I know that in the future I want to have a huge family with lots of children so the house is always filled with joy and happiness.

translation for any of these paragraph would be very helpful!

MUCHAS GRACIAS!

I thought I would make a stab at the first two lines:

I was born on the 13th of June 1998, a few years before my best friend Joe. I've always liked having my birthday in the summer because it means I can have a barbeque with all my friends and family without having to worry about the weather ruining it too much.

Nací el 13 de Junio de 1998, unos pocos años antes de que mi mejor amigo Joe naciera. Siempre me ha gustado tener mi cumpleaños en el verano, porque resulta que puedo hacer una barbacoa con todos mis amigos y familia sin tener que preocuparme por que el tiempo vaya a echarla a perder.

Your profile does not list your level, and I am not sure whether this is something you should even be reasonably trying, as anyone with a sufficient level to write something this complicated would understand how difficult it is and not just put up something this long with no attempt by themselves.

I am sure I have made some errors in what I wrote; were I writing it for myself I would have simplified it to grammar that I am more comfortable with. I am especially nervous with using “por que” (not “porque” or “por qué”). Anyway this attempt with just 2 lines proved to me that it would take me too long even to write something sufficiently good to present it to someone else for corrections.

I suspect that you will have some difficulty finding anyone sufficiently advanced to write this correctly that is willing to do it for you with no effort on your part.

This looks like a homework assignment. I can't translate it for you, but if you do your best to translate it I'm sure other members here can help you with your translation. As other members have answered in past questions, you should try your best to complete your own assignment, and ask for help when you are finished. You won't learn if we do the work for you wink

Id also like to add that you joined 47 minutes ago, so that does not help your case. - Raspberri, Feb 8, 2013
Oooh, Raspberri, you´re living up to your handle! :-) - rickharned, Feb 8, 2013
can someone just help me plz. - tianquan, Feb 8, 2013
Maybe if you took the effort to spell 'please'. It seems you could use the practice with punctuation and grammar. - Raspberri, Feb 8, 2013

You'd get more help if you showed an attempt to translate them yourself.

Maybe you could write down what you think they should be, and then we can help you out. It wont click if someone does it for you. You were able to do 21 questions fine, give these a go and work through them slowly smile
