Mündliches Übersetzen, Homework for Week 3

For homework, please translate the German article distributed in class "Wie geht's euch denn eigentlich" about overtourism (on the backside of "Technologie und Glaube" or available here online, translate until the end of the third paragraph http://www.sueddeutsche.de/reise/essay-wie-gehts-eigentlich-euch-1.3921713). BEFORE you begin translating, however, please read this article https://www.express.co.uk/travel/articles/944035/venice-italy-overtourism-mayor-proposes-charges-day-trippers and jot down the vocabulary that is a) useful for the topic of overtourism and b) that is useful for a variety of texts (an example of the latter would be the word "curb", an excellent verb). When you translate please do it aloud, time yourself, and look up words after you have worked your way through the entire article. Add useful vocabulary/constructions to your Vokabelheft/flashcards/vocab lists.

In addition to this, translate an English text of your choosing into German; get as far as you can within 5 minutes. You might already start thinking of your specialization area when choosing the text.
