(...) emotive language → focusing on the Brexit as a very sad tragedy This is a day of sadness. Britain's departure remains a tragic national error. We have expelled ourselves from a union that was good for this country and the world. The role of the anti-European press in making this happen was decisive, so it is somehow fitting that a government led by journalists has slammed the door. But at least the EU can no longer be blamed for our continuing tensions, inequalities and failures of governance. enumeration These tensions cannot be magicked away. Brexit was opposed by majorities in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and London and other cities, as well as by most young people and most graduates. None of that is going to change, whatever the overall majority erdict was in 2016 and however tired of the argument we all may be. This is a country divided over Europe.

After you have read this article in Süddeutsche Zeitung, you write him/her an e-mail telling him/her what the article says about Royals visiting Germany. Royals in Deutschland: Immer cool bleiben Verena Mayer Die Ankunft des Prinzen von Wales und der Herzogin von Cornwall fällt mitten ins Brexit- Schlamassel. Zum Glück lassen sich Charles und Camilla nicht von der Hysterie anstecken und verbreiten britisches "Keep calm and carry on". Lässt man die letzten Besuche britischer Royals Revue passieren, fällt auf, wie parallel sie zum Brexit verliefen. Im Jahr 2015, in der Planungsphase des Referendums, erinnerte die Queen bei ihrem Besuch in Deutschland an die Wunden des Krieges und daran, dass Europa den Frieden seiner Einigkeit verdanke. William und Kate kamen 2017 während der Brexit-Verhandlungen und gaben sich beim Rudern, im ICE und in einem Berliner Club als Vertreter einer europäischen Generation, die all die Veränderungen schon cool wuppen würde. "#Freundship" lautete dann auch das instagramtaugliche Motto ihres Besuchs. Die Ankunft des Prinzen von Wales und der Herzogin von Cornwall am Dienstag in Berlin fällt nun mitten in den Brexit-Schlamassel. Da sind Pragmatismus und Gelassenheit angesagt, mit ihren 70 und 71 sind die beiden auch genau die Richtigen, um viel britisches "Keep calm and carry on" zu verbreiten. Das Programm der viertägigen Deutschlandreise steht ganz im Zeichen der Krisen, die man schon gemeinsam durchgestanden hat. Charles hat eine Rede vorbereitet, in der er sagt, dass es hoffentlich "auf unserem Kontinent nie wieder zu Spaltungen und Konflikten wie in der Vergangenheit kommt, dass wir gemeinsam eine unentbehrliche Kraft des Guten in unserer Welt bleiben". Kurzbesuch bei Angela Merkel Nach einem kurzen Besuch bei Angela Merkel fahren die beiden zum alten Flughafen Tempelhof. Am Platz davor steht ein Denkmal aus Beton, das die Berliner wegen seiner wuchtigen Krümmung nur "Hungerkralle" nennen, das aber für eine historische Krise und die Rettung aus der Luft steht. Für die Flugzeuge der Westalliierten nämlich, die während der Berlin-Blockade hier landeten und die Stadt mit Nahrung versorgten. Charles tritt vor und legt einen Kranz nieder, das Denkmal erinnert auch daran, dass während der Luftbrücke vierzig Soldaten der Royal Air Force starben. Er tut das mit der Routine eines Royals, der schon mehr als 30 Mal in Deutschland war. In Berlin war Charles schon fast überall, 1995 sogar in einer Plattenbausiedlung in Hellersdorf, wo er nach einem Besuch in "Moni's Friseursalon" mit einer Familie Rotkäppchensekt trank. Was nicht heißt, dass seine Agenda langweilig wäre. Im Gegenteil. Wenig ist derzeit so brandaktuell wie Charles' Interesse für Ökologie und nachhaltige Landwirtschaft. Dem will auch der britische Botschafter genügen, der am Abend in seiner Residenz die traditionelle Gartenparty zu Ehren der Queen gibt. Weil Charles regionale Bio-Produkte liebt, wird es Kräuter aus einem lokalen Kräuter-Start-up geben, und der Saibling, der "nach Matjesart mit Spreewaldgurken und Wasabi-Kresse" zubereitet wird, stammt von einem Brandenburger Forellenhof. Matthias Engels züchtet die Öko-Fische und wird sich auf dem sorgfältig gestutzten Rasen unter die 600 Gäste aus Wirtschaft und Politik mischen. Und was wird er dem Prinzen über seine Fische erzählen?

In his article, the author writes about the way people and politicians think about the Brexit. day of the on The Brexit is, for those who voted in 2016 for leaving (Could the EU, a glorious day that can be celebrated. It is a moment of taking back sovereignty and control of the country. The author also mentions that it is a moment of regained independence. After that, the author explains that for all those, who opposed the Brexit, like majorities in Scotland, Northern Ireland or in London and especially for the most young people, it was not a glorious day. It was a moment of relief, as the way to the actual Brexit day was very Long, but it was not a good day for them. In addition, the author points out his opinion that the A != your opinions day of Brexit is a very sad day. He exaggerates it as a tragic day of national error. It is explained that the European Union was good for the country in general and for the world. The author mentions the tensions, inequalities and failures of governance for which the Ell was. blamed in the past. Those tensions will not leave just because the UK left the EU. The author also points out that the Brexit is more of a fantasy. Furthermore the author writes that the world, we are living in, is an interconnected world which means that the lik has to be in a relationship with other countries like the nations of the EU. Additionally, the current Prime Minister Boris Johnson is not interested in or compromises. The politicians like Johnson confuse any alliances 2 sovereignty with power. The author describes that the Brexit leaves behind many sources of future conflicts for British politics. The British will never stop to be Europeans and to engage with Europe. After all, the author points out that the UK with the Brexit that he hopes of a Looses a lot way to return. In his article, the author uses a certain structure and language to convince the reader of his opinion and the message of the article. He uses rhetorical devices/ a a certain choice of words to convey his message. Already the title "[...] a tragic national error" shows the author's opinion on the Brexit as he exaggerates the day like it was bad everyone in the United Kingdom. In his headline, he also writes that "this is a day of GR G R R Name: Jill Sadness, not of glory" which shows that he is not amused. about the Brexit and that he opens up about it in his article. 3 a He structures his article in special way. By making. separate paragraphs it is easier for the readers to under- stand. His article is written in a neutral style with a language that is easy to understand. During the article the article is the author's tone is mostly critical and written in a concise and plain style. The author starts with a small introduction and uses the "colective we" to directly address the reader and their emotions. He explains that with the Brexit a closed (cf.i. 2) and that "We are on our own. We're out." door has (1.2). After that he shows the side of Brexit promoters that see the Bresit as something glorious and a source of "independence [...], sovereignty [...], and [...] taking back control" (1.4). Directly after that he conveys his message by explaining the view of non-Brexit-promoters. The involves the reader by refering to the past as he mentions the moment "David Cameron committed the Conservatives to a # referendum in January 2013" (11. 7 f.). Furthermore the author starts in a new paragraph to write about his opinion on the Brexit and uses emotive languge. By using phrases like "a day of sadness" (1.9) or "a tragic national error" (1.9) he focuses on the Brexit as a very sad and bad thing that happened to the UK and plays with the reader's emotions. While explaining his own position, he uses the "collective we" as he describes Seite: 4 that "we [-] expelled ourselves from a union that was good for this country [...]" (1.10). In addition to that he writes that the Ell can not longer be blamed for "our [...] tensions, inequalities and failures [...]" (1.13). This enumeration shows the topics that the British still have even though government thinks they to work on the are solved by the Brexit. In the next paragraph, the author refers to the mentioned tensions again and directly addresses those people, who were against the Brexit. He shows the view of them and uses the convey "collective we" again to involve the readers and his message against the Brexit. The author refers to the feelings of these people: "however tired of the argu- ment we all may be " (1.17). The author also uses a repetition by saying that "we were divided in the past [...] we will be divided in the finture" (1.18). The alliteration "supposed solution" (1.19) also helps to convey his message as it catches the reader's attention. Next, he uses more of the "collective we" to not loose the reader's attention in this paragraph because he is writing against the prime minister Boris Johnson who is known for his pro-Brexit attitude. He is refering to a politician that is involved in the Brexit and confronts the reader. with the fact that Boris Johnson is "not interested in alliances or compromises" (11. 22 f.) x (CF. 41. 28 ff.) The author ends his article with an imagery, which catches the reader's attention and directly involves them and their fantasy. He wants to show what the Brexit does to the R (s.v.) C Name: Jill Seite: 5 UK and that it separates the country from other European countries. In this paragraph he also uses an enumeration to show that the UK will be separated from "the European continent, its peoples, economies and cultures [...]" (1.32). Additionally, the author uses the "collective we" for a last time to directly address the readers at the end of the article and to convey his message that "we hope one day [...] to return" (1. 33.). With his special structure and his use of rhetorical. stategies and stylistic devices, the author shows his particular opinion on the Brexit and conveys his contra- ✓ Brexit attitude. 3.2. The tragedy of uk leaving the EU Sir or Madam, your article "The Guardian view of Brexit: a tragic national error" was very informative and good to read. I am writing because I would like to comment on the part that we live in an "interconnected world". First of all: I totally agree with you, we live in a big world that is connected and many nations have strong bonds with each other. A good example are the possibilities that many European workers had in the United Kingdom. Many people, also from Germany, immigrated in the UK to work there, live their dream life and do something for their future.. multi- Your country has so much diversity with your culturalism and opportunities. I know that the UK has the world second largest community of Nigerian,. your country is also connected to other parts of the world, not only Europe. It is sad that the UK left the European Union, the connection between the UK and EU will last a long Seite: Jill time but will definitely get weaker, where you It would be great to read an article from you focus on all the good things that being part of the EU brought to your country.

Charles visited Germany many times, he was in Germany more than 30 times in his life and probably knows the city Berlin better than I do! He gave a speech where he said that hopefully there will be no more conflicts on the continent and that he doesn't want Europe to be divided. His message was that there is no bad blood between anyone that anything is possible as long as the countries work together. For me, it doesn't seem like and Seite: 8 the Royals are anti-European.
