英語日記１６ 人種とは

すいませんが最近英語力のライティングをあげようと英作文をまいにち書くようにしてます。
レベルのひくい英作文ではずかしいのですが。できれば文法や細かい間違いを指摘して頂けると幸いです

So, today I want to talk about the race problem.
What image(s)複数形？？ do you have when you would be asked “race problems”.
The population of the America consists of four major ethic groups. White and black and Hispanic then we are. I have a friend who is actually Chinese, but he has grown up in the USA.
So, what do you think about oh his race?? Chinese or American or something else??
I think that he is both of them. We are a little of biological difference, and we don’t need to decide who is the most superior. We tend to decide which one is the best. We must have confidence of yourselfe. My favorite song AOZORA was mede by HIROTO. He is singer of THE BLUEHEARTS. He said in his word what of me do you understand from the colors of the color and eyes of my skin? I really agree with that. Don’t you think so??

bookaholicさんはなぜ昔に留学していたのにいまだに英語の細かい文法までおぼえてるのですか？？

>So, today I want to talk about the race problem.

⇒Today, I want to ponder over the subject of"race".
→日記なので自分に問いかける形で ”ponder（じっくり考える）”
→subject of “race” ＝ 人種に関する課題 ＝ 人種問題
→言葉を強調したい時は、その言葉が初めて文中に出てくるに””を用います。

>What image(s)複数形？？ do you have when you would be asked “race problems”.
⇒What is race?

>The population of the America consists of four major ethic groups. White and black and Hispanic then we are.
⇒The population of the United States comprises four major ethnic groups: white, black, Hispanic, and we Asians.
→consists of = comprise どちらでも構いません（注compriseの後にofは要りません）
→ものごとを列挙するときは、コロン ”：” を使い、コンマ “，” で区切っていき、最後だけ ”and” で繋ぎます。
→一番簡潔なのは＃１さんの文例です。

>I have a friend who is actually Chinese, but he has grown up in the USA.
⇒I have a friend who is actually Chinese, but grew up in the US.

>So, what do you think about oh his race?? Chinese or American or something else??
⇒What is his race? Is he Asian, white, or something else?
→”人種” のことを述べているのに “国籍（Chinese, American）” で区分するのは矛盾があります。

>I think that he is both of them.
⇒Technically he is Asian, but he may be better described as Asian-American.
→“彼は厳密にはアジア人だが、実際にはアジア系アメリカ人と呼ぶべきだろう。”
→原文を尊重するのであれば、”I think he is both.” （of them は省いた方がスッキリします）。

>We are a little of biological difference, and we don’t need to decide who is the most superior. We tend to decide which one is the best.
⇒There is of little biological difference between the races and it is meaningless trying to determine which is the superior.

>We must have confidence of yourselfe.
⇒We must all have confidence in ourselves, as individuals.
→Weで始まってyourselfで終わるのはおかしいです。

>My favorite song AOZORA was mede by HIROTO. He is singer of THE BLUEHEARTS.
⇒My favorite song is called "Aozora", which was written by "Hiroto", a singer for "The Bluehearts".

>He said in his word what of me do you understand from the colors of the color and eyes of my skin? I really agree with that. Don’t you think so??
⇒He says in his words, "What of me do you understand from the colors of my eyes and my skin?" I cannot agree more.

素晴らしい回答を載せていらっしゃるので
今回はコメントだけ☆
もともと文法は大好きだったのですが、
数年前から、人に教える仕事をしています。
だから、知識が薄れなかったり、
逆に新しい知識が増えたりするのは、
生徒ちゃん達のおかげだと思います。

ライティングの練習なので、
好きなテーマで書かれたら良いと思います。

全文が不自然なので書き直しますと、

Today I would like to talk about races.

There are four major ethnic groups in the States - white, black, Hispanic & Asians.

I have a Chinese friend who grew up in the USA. Is he Chinese, American, or someone else? I'd say both, or whichever he feels comfortable with, I'd say it doesn't matter.

There is may favourite song called Aozora by Hiroto, the singer of The Bluehearts. The song says, what do you know about me, don't judge me from the color of my eyes or my skin. I do agree. Do you?

人種に関してのディスカッションは今はじまったことではないので、40年前ならともかく、この程度の内容を披露するのはチョット？？？という感じですが。
