When I was younger I was in an organisation called the guides. Als ich jünger war, war ich in einer Organisation namens "Guides". Коли я був молодшим, я був в організації, яка називалася "Екскурсоводи". Khi tôi còn trẻ, tôi đã làm việc trong một tổ chức có tên là hướng dẫn viên.

Guides are girls who are between 10 and 14 who get together once a week to do things like have competitions and play games and go camping and generally just have fun together. Die Pfadfinderinnen sind Mädchen zwischen 10 und 14 Jahren, die sich einmal in der Woche treffen, um Wettbewerbe zu veranstalten, Spiele zu spielen, zu zelten und einfach nur Spaß zu haben. I really enjoyed being in the guides. There’s a similar organisation called the scouts for boys although I think these days girls can be scouts and maybe boys can be guides - I’m not sure. Anyway I used to go camping quite a lot with guides. Jedenfalls bin ich früher oft mit Reiseführern campen gegangen. I remember I went one weekend and it was the same weekend as my birthday and I was going to be 13 that weekend. Ich erinnere mich, dass ich an einem Wochenende dort war, das mit meinem Geburtstag zusammenfiel und an dem ich 13 Jahre alt geworden wäre. Tôi nhớ tôi đã đến đó vào một ngày cuối tuần và đó cũng là ngày cuối tuần trùng với ngày sinh nhật của tôi và cuối tuần đó tôi sẽ tròn 13 tuổi. We had a really good weekend and we cooked different things and we played games and we didn’t really get much sleep as you generally don’t when you’re sleeping in a tent with a lot of people your age you tend to stay up all night. Wir hatten ein wirklich schönes Wochenende und haben verschiedene Dinge gekocht und Spiele gespielt. Wir haben nicht wirklich viel Schlaf bekommen, denn wenn man mit vielen Leuten in deinem Alter in einem Zelt schläft, neigt man dazu, die ganze Nacht aufzubleiben. So on my birthday which was the Sunday, everybody sang Happy Birthday to me and they gave me a cake and they wrote on a card for me and I had a really nice day. An meinem Geburtstag, der am Sonntag war, sangen alle für mich "Happy Birthday", gaben mir einen Kuchen und schrieben eine Karte für mich, und ich hatte einen wirklich schönen Tag.

That evening I went home and I was so tired and I started to unpack my things. An diesem Abend kam ich nach Hause, war sehr müde und begann, meine Sachen auszupacken. And then the doorbell rang and my friend arrived and then one by one - it was very strange- all of my friends arrived, and what had happened was my parents had organised a surprise birthday party for me! Und dann klingelte es an der Tür und mein Freund kam, und dann kamen nach und nach - es war sehr seltsam - alle meine Freunde, und was passiert war, war, dass meine Eltern eine Überraschungsgeburtstagsfeier für mich organisiert hatten! I was so excited but I was also very smelly. Ich war so aufgeregt, aber ich habe auch sehr gestunken. I hadn’t had a shower for the whole weekend. Ich hatte das ganze Wochenende über nicht geduscht. We had a great time, we went bowling and it was really a day to remember.
