Welcome to SD Cameron. It looks quite good to me.I am an Englishman = Soy un inglés. - ian-hill, Apr 11, 2015

If you complete your SD profile I will vote for you. - ian-hill, Apr 11, 2015

Ian, Soy inglés o Soy un hombre inglés - FELIZ77, Apr 11, 2015

Everyone seems so convinced that Cameron could not be the name of a female (Think Cameron Diaz, the famous actress). It does demonstrate the importance not only of the language levels, but also indicating one's sex in the profile. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 11, 2015

I completely agree, Bosque:) However in UK the name Cameron is given to a boy not a girl so it is also a cultural oversight on my part if I am proven wrong. - FELIZ77, Apr 11, 2015

In the states, Cameron can be a boy or a girl's name. - rac1, Apr 11, 2015

Answer 1

Feliz77 gave you some corrections but it seems he ran out of time, so I would write the whole thing like this:

Me llamo Cameron. Hoy cumplo veinticuatro años. Soy inglesa y vivo en Newcastle, que está en el noreste de Inglaterra. Soy estudiante. Estoy en tercer año de mis estudios de antropología. No tengo trabajo. Soy alta y morena. Soy amable, activa, punctual, organizada, artística, pero bastante sarcástica y me preocupo demasiado. Tengo una Hermana, se llama Sara. Ella tiene diecinueve años y estudia el arte. Mis padres, se llaman John y Fran, trabajaban en la policía. Tengo muchos animales, incluyendo perros, gatos, conejos y caballos. Cuando no estudio, me gusta pasar el tiempo leyendo, corriendo, yendo al gimnasio y también me gusta pasar tiempo con mi familia y amigos.

Because you didn´t provide a copy in English, I can only guess that your parents used to work in the police. And Feliz77´s guess that they work now in the police is just as valid as my guess.

Julian, because I do not have my computer and a large screen but only my smartphone screen which is only 5.1 " big it takes me longer to translate as I have not worked out how to copy cut and paste large quotes for translation :) - FELIZ77, Apr 11, 2015

just for the record, I did not run out of time hahaha lol ;) - FELIZ77, Apr 11, 2015

You have more patience than I do :-) - 005faa61, Apr 11, 2015

Quizás lol ja ja ja. Saludos, amigo ) Por cierto, como puedes ver he cambiado el tiempo verbal del verbo: trabajar de presente indicativo al imperfecto . Creo que imperfecto es mejor, aqui :) - FELIZ77, Apr 11, 2015

Thankyou so much for this answer. All seems clear. Sorry I did not fill in my profile details, I am new and completely forgot. You have assumed correctly both about gender and that my parents used to work in the police. Thanks everyone, greatly appreciate - lexikinn, Apr 11, 2015

Answer 2

Hello Lexikinn,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

I have written some suggested corrections for you which I hope you will find helpful!

I would like to apologise in advance if I have used the wrong gender and so have corrected your feminine endings to msculine ones, but as you can see from my responses to Bosque, in my comments below this post , we use the name Cameron in the UK as a boy's/man's name. No offence intended, but it does highlight the importance of filling in your profile details as soon as possible!

Me llamo Cameron.Tengo veinte (spelling) cuatro años, hoy. Soy inglés y vivo en una ciudad que se llama Newcastle que está (missing accent)situada en el noreste de Inglaterra.

Soy estudiante. Estudio antropologia y estoy en el tercer año de mis estudios. No tengo trabajo. Soy altO y morenO, artisticO Soy activO, punctual, organizadO pero sarcasticO y me procupe demasiado. Tengo una hermana que se llama Sara. Tiene diecinueve años y estudia arte. Mis padres se llaman Juan y Fran y trabajaban en la policía.

Tengo muchos animales que incluyen perros, gatos, conejos, y caballos. Cuando no estudio, me gusta pasar el tiempo leer, correr, ir al gimnasio, y pasar tiempo con mi familia y mis amigos.

I hope this helps you.

Corrijan mi español si necesario, por favor

See my comment above. Cameron Diaz is a famous female actress. It is not clear to me that an effort in which the person consistently indicated that they were female should be corrected to a male perspective. ;) - bosquederoble, Apr 11, 2015

Bosque, that is not at clear from the person's profile which had not been filled in at the time I wrote this post! Besides, the name Cameron is a man's name ;) - FELIZ77, Apr 11, 2015

At least in England/UK it is a man's name eg so without any profile details how was I supposed to know? - FELIZ77, Apr 11, 2015

Bosque, the questionner has indicated that they are a beginner in Spanish and although their Spanish is quite good for a beginner , some beginners do not use the correct gender endings. - FELIZ77, Apr 11, 2015

Oh, I understand fully, I think any blame is on the person who fails to complete the profile; half the time I don't know whether to say bienvenido or bienvenida to greet a newby. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 11, 2015

People think it is being nosy, but knowing the gender of someone is crucial in making corrections in a gender based language. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 11, 2015

Very true :) - FELIZ77, Apr 11, 2015

I agree entirely Bosque . - ray76, Apr 12, 2015

Welcome to SpanishDict. It would be helpful if you added your language proficiency to your profile.

:) - ian-hill, Apr 11, 2015

and your gender lol hahaha ;) :) - FELIZ77, Apr 11, 2015

And gender if any ! - ray76, Apr 12, 2015
