Engelsk, forstår i ?

Jeg er blevet stillet til opgave at formulere mit kortvarint (300-400) ord.
Jeg skal "summere" en tekst, så en læser der IKKE har læst teksten forstår det primære i den..


Forstår i ? Eventuelle rettelser er yderst velkomne..



The main subject in this text is luxury and freedom. Many people talk about this, wouldn’t it be nice?
Just imagine, everyday, no commitments, no plans, nothing! But when it comes to all and you suddenly have the opportunity for this, its not really that nice anyway. Dorte Werner, 33, has recently moved to Hong-Kong together with her husband, and 2 children aged 2½ and 6. The year was planned to be sort of an ‘investment’ year for saving up to a new house. At their arrival they hired a so-called ‘maid’ to take care of all the daily needs, shopping etc.
In the beginning it all went fine, and she really liked being independent.
But she soon realizes that she has nothing to do at all, she’s completely bored. She just can’t go to sleep without having a strategically plan for the upcoming day. Dorte has always been convinced that she never would be a housewife, but when she got offered the Hong-Kong post she couldn’t refuse.  She thought it would be nice with some ‘breathing space’.
Then after several months the feeling of being superfluous hits Dorthe, she no longer feels that there is a need for her, what’s her main task? Nothing, she’s no longer a link in the chain. She tries to compensate by shopping, then she at least feels that she is doing something, but it’s certainly not healthy for the finances. Nearly all Danes live by the quote “No pain, no gain” therefore she finds it extremely hard to grasp this new lifestyle, “It’s degrading not to have your own income”. And she really wants to promote that she has been an export-engineer, but in Hong-Kong, it doesn’t matter.
The male role is the leading role; your past identity is no longer valid.
Dorthe missed the kick and thrill in her everyday life, she first found it when she got the part time job at the Danish general consul. She ends by saying “It’s difficult suddenly having all that spare time you’ve always dreamed about”
