Bonjour; nous vous écrivons de nouveau!
Comment allez-vous? Vous intéressez-vous au volley-ball? Bientôt vous serez les hôtes du Championnat où le concurrent de votre équipe sera celle de Bulgarie:
Parlez-nous plus de vous et de votre famille.
Et j'ai une question concrète: Est-ce que le gaz naturel s'utilise pour les automobiles, et est-il facile d'en trouver chez-vous?
Au revoir et à bientôt?

Good day, we are writing to you again!
How are you? Are you interested in volleyball? Soon you´ll be the hosts of the championship where your team will be competing with the Bulgarian team.

Please, tell us more about yourself and your family.

I also have a concrete question: Is natural gas used for cars, and is it easy to find some in your vicinity there?
Good bye and see you soon

Will they be the guest or the host?

Also, "at you" is not correct English.

"Guests"
what would you say instead of "at"? French meaning is "at your home", or maybe "at yours", or "at your's"?
Could also have a wider meaning (the country)

Hi Cisa, Kafetzou, Francky,

The first line should read:

"we are writing to you again"

about translating "chez vous" in this case I think I would translate it somethining like "in the vicinity".

and maybe "competitor for" rather than "competitor of" and I would put "for your team" between commas.

Hi All

Sorry Cisa, but for me the English is still faltering.

I would definitely put the first phrase in the gerundive, "are writing to you again"

Also maybe "where your team will ne opposed to the Bulgarians"

Sorry, Tantine - that's not a gerund - it's the present progressive or present continuous tense, and you are right that that is what it should be, but I'm still confused about the meaning - it sounds from the final part like the recipient of this message will be the host, not the guest.

Thanks Kafetzou,

My grammar explanations are a little "approximated"

I agree with you that it is a bit ambiguous as the whether the recipient is the host or the guest.

tempest, could you please look at the Bulgarian original and tell us if they are being welcomed as guests or welcomed into their role as hosts?

This excerpt addresses the host - you are right kafetzou.
It goes like this:

Hello, we are writing you again! How are you and how do you feel? Are you interested in volleyball (there should be a full stop here although there isn't one in the original). You will soon be the host of a big championship where the Bulgarian team will be your primary rival. Tell us more about yourselves and I also have e specific question: Is natural gas used as automobile fuel in Poland and is it easy to refuel?
Thank you and talk to you soon.


I hope that helps

In French it doesn't make any difference, one can say "hôte" for someone who receives guests, but also for a guest who is received by some host.
(hereunder French dictionary -Le petit Larousse 2005- :
1.Hôte . n m. (lat.hospes. 1. personne qui est reçue chez quelqu'un; invité.2.LittEtre qui vit habituellement quelque part.Les hôtes des bois.
2. Hôte, hôtesse n. Personne qui reçoit qqn chez elle, qui lui donne l'hospitalité
