Family and Money... What a Danger!
We have a lovely couple like neighbours. They live in the flat opposite. Chusma (Jesús María) is about 35 years old and is from Spain. He is a guy very nice and hard worker. He has got some vineyards and spends his life working on the land. Ainoa is 30 years old and comes from Chile. She is a pretty, clever and pleasant girl. I could say one only defect of she and it is that she is very talkative. I am not surprised. They do not have many friends here in Logroño. She spends a lot of time alone in the house and takes advantage when she meets with the neighbours. They had a son a year ago. Miguel is nice and strong like his father. They have been living in their flat for about five years.
Two months ago the Chusma's father died. They were a bitter days. When I met him in the lift, his face was like a poem. I felt very sorry for him. But this is not the sadest of the story.
The real sad thing is that they are about to leave for Chile. Suddenly, very suddenly. Chusma does not withstand neither the presure nor the selfishness, but over all, he hates the lust for money of his two sisters, her greed.
There are land and money to share, and his sisters want most of inheritance.
Chusma already does not want anything. He feels disgust. He feels grief. He abandons. They are leaving. They do not want to know anything. He has put to the sell (in a quickly and badly way) all their possessions. It is a big pity. It is a violent thing, but it is definitive. They are leaving. It has broken his heart to see so much misery in the human condition.

She is a pretty, clever and A pleasant girl. I could say (one) THE only defect (of) she HAS (and it) is that she is very talkative AND I am not surprised. They do not have many friends here in Logroño. She spends a lot of time alone in the house and LIKES TO takes advantage OF SPEAKING when she meets with the neighbours. They had a son a year ago.

ReplyDeleteTwo months ago (the) Chusma's father died. They were (a) bitter days. When I met him in the lift, his face was like a poem. I felt very sorry for him. But this is not the sadDest (of) PART OF the story.
The real sad thing is that they are about to leave for Chile. Suddenly, very suddenly. Chusma (does) CANNOT not withstand neither the preSsure (nor) OR the selfishness, but (over) ABOVE all, he hates the lust for money of his two sisters,( her) THEIR greed.
There (are) IS land and money to share, and his sisters want most of THE inheritance.
Chusma already does not want anything (OR REALLY DOES NOT WANT ANYTHING). He feels disgust. He feels grief. He FEELS abandonED. (HE FEELS SAD THEY ARE LEAVING?) They are leaving. They do not want to know anything. He has put UP FOR SALE (to the sell) (in a (quickly) QUICK and( badly) BAD way) all their possessions. ( HERE I THINK IS SOUNDS BETTER = HE HAS PUT ALL HIS POSSESSION UP FOR SALE) It is a (big) GREAT pity. It is a violent thing,(OR IT IS A HARD THING TO DO) but it is (definitive) FINAL. They are leaving. It has broken his heart to see so much misery ( in the human condition) WITHIN HIS FAMILY.
!Qué triste esta historia!! Desafortunadamente muchas veces esto pasa cuando alguien muere en la familia y al resto de la familia pelea para las posesiones y dinero.
Otra cosa. ¿Es el suegro de Chusma que ha muerto?

Thanks katie! How I can make so many mistakes in such a short space?. I am a disaster.
ReplyDeleteChusma's father is the one who died. Ainoa's parents are living in Chile.
Ok yo estaba un poco confundida, porque dijiste que Chusma es español, pero debido a que su padre murió, tiene que ir a Chile.
ReplyDeleteNo te preocupes por tu escritura, aprendemos por nuestros errores, y tu escritura es bastante bien!
