Hi Aneta
No, no boxer for me either
A few minor things (it seems like a long list but they are almost all tiny details, just to make it sound more natural:
TEST IF YOU CAN HAVE A BOXER DOG -> Written this way, it looks a bit like a command. If the Polish sentence is about 'a test' (noun, rather than the verb 'to test'), how about writing 'a test' or 'test to see if etc'?
1. Take a walk with one arm stretched out ahead of you. -> I think
'in front of you' is more common in this sense. 'Ahead of you' tends to refer to a long period, or a long way; 'in front of you' is more common when talking about arms (try googling the two to understand what I mean
)
After few steps try to stretch it out a bit more and say “Stay!â€* about a hundred times in a friendly voice. -> It sounds like you are trying to make the dog stay close to you -
'heel' I think is the common command here.
Repeat the same thing about a hundred times, yet a bit louder. -> 'yet' doesn't seem to fit here. Can we leave it out?
Crumble
cakes into small pieces and scatter them around the car.-> shouldn't that be 'the cookies'? (the ones bought in the previous sentence). Do the same with
the bones.
Go to the nearest hairdresser and ask for a hair waste of a whole week. -> more natural: a whole week's hair waste OR ask for the, or their, hair waste of a whole week.
Then put a bit of mud on the seats and scratch
the upholstery with a sharp instrument.
4. If your garden is prepared for the season, ask the neighbour’s kids to play football there. -> not '
the' football
5. Try sometimes sitting in the 8th seat. -> do you know what is meant by this? Or is it as mysterious in Polish as it is in English?
Give up and dump the crumbs out of
the chair on the floor.
Every time the forks strike each other, scratch tight your leg. -> scratch tight? What does that mean?
8. When guests come, let them sit on the couch, and then throw
a 30 kg sack full of potatoes on their laps and a wet sponge on their face.
Remind yourself of what
the stuff was and where it was put -> better: 'where it was', or 'where you put it'.
I'm sorry, but you will lose everything you wanted to get from the fridge. -> better without 'that' (everything (that) you wanted)
Great, so now make your hands greasy and touch
the windows.
11. Visit a friend who is a boxer's owner -> 'who owns a boxer' would sound more natural
ask them how the hell
it happened
that they allowed the boxer to live with them.
it is going to be the last time you hear it. -> better without 'when' (the last time (when) you hear it)
(most of them sleep in
a bed)
Put a sack of potatoes
on the bed, and try to lay down and go to sleep.
Set the alarm for 5.30 and when it rings, hit yourself
in the face with a wet sponge.
13. Can you cope with the mess a boxer makes at home? -> better without 'that' (the mess (that) a boxer makes)
