Those groups are totally wrong, they are not the ones in this Euro. Group A for example is Portugal, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Turkey. Check the official Euro 2008 site.

Could someone please review my spanish work

Could someone please review my spanish work?
I have written a paragraph about my favorite vacation for my high school spanish class, and would really appreciate it if some spanish speakers could help me with my translation. Here is what I have written in English: My favorite vacation was when I traveled to Europe during the summer of 2008 with my parents. We went to Germany, Luxembourg, and Croatia. First, we arrived in Frankfurt and drove to Bielstein, Germany. We slept in a very nice hotel in a very small town that was on the Mosel River. We ate lots of delicious food and saw many castles. After that, we went to Luxembourg were we spent a little time going to museums. Then we visited my relatives in Croatia. I have many friends and family in Croatia and it was very nice to see them all. I met my friend Nikolina, a girl that I had been writing to for many years but had never seen before. We went to a lot of museums where we saw traditional Croatian art and clothing. One day, we rode a bus to Roman ruins in another Croatian town. It was a very hot day, but I had a lot of fun learning about Roman history. I ate the most memorable meal in my life, met some of the nicest people, and learned a lot about myself and my family. This is how I translated it: Mi vacación favorita fue cuando viaje a Europa durante el verano de 2008 con mis padres. Fuimos a Alemania, Luxemburgo, y Croacia. Primero, llegamos a Frankfurt y se Bielschtien a Alemania. Dormimos en un hotel muy agradable en una ciudad muy pequeña que estaba en el rio Mosel. Comimos mucha comida sabrosa, y vi muchos castillos. Después de eso, fuimos a Luxemburgo se nos pasó un poco di tiempo va a los museos. Luego visitamos a mis parientes en Croacia. Tengo muchos amigos y familia en Croacia y fue muy agradable ver a todos. Conocí a mi amigo Nikolina, una chica que había estado escribiendo para muchos años pero nunca había visto antes. Fuimos a muchos museos donde vimos el arte tradicional de Croacia y de la ropa. Un día, tomamos un autobús a las ruinas romanas en otra ciudad croata. Fue un día muy caluroso, pero he tenido un montón de divertido aprender sobre la historia de Roman. Me comí la comida más memorable en mi vida, conocí a algunos de las mejores personas, y aprendí mucho sobre mí y mi familia. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Gracias!

In general your work is awesome, I changed some details but it's not a big deal. Here's the correction: Mis vacaciones favoritas fueron cuando viaje a Europa durante el verano de 2008 con mis padres. Fuimos a Alemania, Luxemburgo, y Croacia. Primero, llegamos a Frankfurt y conducimos hasta Bielschtien, Alemania. Dormimos en un hotel muy agradable en una ciudad muy pequeña que estaba en el rio Mosel. Comimos mucha comida sabrosa, y vimos muchos castillos.

In which state or city would you find the Europark? 3. Why did people think Mad King Ludwig wsa mad? - Was it because he spent huge amounts of money on his castles? 4. Also, how did he die? - I know he was found in a lake with Dr. Bernhard, and some think he could be murdered. Any ideas on this? 4. A German classical composer and where they lived? (other than Johann Sebastian Bach) 5. What is the people's car of the Germans? - Is it Volkswagen? 6. What do people mostly drink in the Oktoberfest? 7. What are two German food specialities? 8. Name two German words that we now use in English. Please help, and name some sources of your information, thanks in advance.

1. Dänemark, Niederlande, Belgien, Luxemburg, Frankreich, Schweiz, Österreich, Tschechische Republik, Polen 2. Europark doesn't exist in Germany. If you meant Europapark, there's two. One is a theme park in Rust, near Freiburg, the other is located in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. 3. That's one reason, but he also really behaved strange, like installing a lift to the kitchen so he didn't have to see his servants or taking spontaneous trips by sled or carriage in the middle of the night. 4. Noone really knows how he died. What you stated is the common version. 4. Richard Wagner (born in Leipzig 1813), Felix Mendelssohn Bartoldy (born in Hamburg 1809), Johann Pachelbel (born in Nürnberg 1653) 5. People's car is translated Volkswagen, yes. Although nowadays it's just a brand like any other (BMW, Mercedes, Ford and so on) 6. Simple: beer 7. Bratwurst, Schnitzel, Sauerkraut (to fulfill the clichee) Seriously: Try Rollmops and Saumagen. (Both can be found on english Wiki if you have no idea what they are.) 8. Angst, Bratwurst, Rucksack, Stillstand, Wunderkind, Zeitgeist

Hmmm, maybe you should be doing your homework yourself???

I'd like to add a few details to what has already correctly been answered: to 3 and 4: No, not because he spent so much money on his castles, but because he allegedly committed suicide. This, in his days and in the Catholic religion, would have been an unforgiveable sin, unless, well: You were declared mad, because a madman -- due to his naiveté of mind -- can't commit any sin. So declaring him mad was, in those days, the only way to restore his reputation after he had drowned himself in the lake. to 5: There is no typical "Volkswagen" (people's car). Some drive Mercedes Benz, some Audi (which many people like). I used to drive Fords, but now have a Toyota. My next one will probably also be Japanese. I had a VW van once, but only for transportation and vacation purposes. Although "Volkswagen" translates as "people's car", it is no longer a real people's car manufacturer, and other brands have proven as reliable and sometimes cheaper. to 6: Soft drinks should be the right answer. Many people come there with kids, and they get thirsty and the parents don't want to get drunk in the presence of their kids, but they all get thirsty on their walk. So soft drinks actually sell better than beer, except in the beer tents, where main business time is in the evening, when the kids are at home with their grandparents or a nanny. to 7: There is no "German" food speciality, but many regional ones. I'm from Bavaria (the Oktoberfest State), and to me it's Hirschbraten mit Spätzle (wild deer with home-made Suebian noodles) and Leberkäs (spiced meat loaf with all ingredients except liver, as the name would imply, available fresh at any Bavarian butcher's store every morning). to 8.: kindergarten, rucksack, waldsterben -- well, I expected you to use "klimawandel" for "climate change" as well. I'm not sure if you already use "handy" for "mobile phone". Maybe you should. Whenever you hear a German talk about a "Handy" (in the correct English pronounciation), he means his cellphone. This pseudo-English word is a genuine German invention. Oh, and could you do me a favor? You're learning German. So whenever you're tempted to use something like "Ubermensch" (Nietzsche) or "Uber-Ich" (Freud), give it the dots: Über and über. I think even the "Fuhrer" has deserved them... [Just a few random thoughts.] --- edit: to 2: "Europark" does exist in Germany, contrary to what che says. The "Europark" is an industrial area located at Kleinmachnow, near Potsdam in the state of Brandenburg, and there at the address "Marktstraße 1" (1, market street) resides Ebay Germany.

Even the UN can see Americans are the most productive workers

Even the UN can see Americans are the most productive workers?
To the rest of the world, feel free to shut up now, thanks in advance. The average U.S. worker produces $63,885 of wealth per year, more than their counterparts in all other countries, the International Labor Organization said in its report. Ireland comes in second at $55,986, followed by Luxembourg at $55,641, Belgium at $55,235 and France at $54,609. The productivity figure is found by dividing the country's gross domestic product by the number of people employed. The U.N. report is based on 2006 figures for many countries, or the most recent available. Only part of the U.S. productivity growth, which has outpaced that of many other developed economies, can be explained by the longer hours Americans are putting in, the ILO said. The U.S., according to the report, also beats all 27 nations in the European Union, Japan and Switzerland in the amount of wealth created per hour of work -- a second key measure of productivity.

America has always been in the top 10 countries and has a very strong economy. Unfortunately the goods that come out of America are cheaply and badly made, but since the Dollar is so weak they cost a lot less than if produced else where.

Per hour work we were beat by Norway. Whats funny though is that this report came out at the same time as the report that more people are having to work multiple jobs, more families are having to have multiple FT incomes, and basically we're having to work harder and harder just to stay in the same place. Great to know that even with all our great productivity we cant collectively get the country advanced, only the top is seeming to advance while everyone's workload is increasing

Congress will take credit for it and give themselves another raise

Great! The worker productivity, as you might know, is measured by the value added per worker. This figure shows the US still sells high priced goods and services. I'm not sure what you mean by "even the UN can see". I suppose you're saying they usually produce faulty reports which are biased against the US. Lets see...those must be the ones that come to negative conclusions about some aspect of the US; this report is obviously accurate since the US is #1 on one of its charts...hmm...
