Help needed with english assignment...

For English, I have to write a short message about the subjects e-mail, availability of computers in school and the subject english.

It doesn't have to make much sense, as long as the english is correct. Could anyone help this dutch sucker, please?

E-mail is easier and faster than the old-fashioned mail. For many people, it has taken over the task of the old-fashioned mail, almost completely. People like myself. Some years ago, I would have written a letter (or typed it) to a friend, to tell him how I'm doing, but nowadays I always send e-mails. I find it easier to give my e-mail address than to give my home address, and I guess that goes for other people as well. That's the reason I have tons of e-mail addresses from friends and family to all kinds of acquaintances. If you want tell something to one of those, e-mail is the easiest way. Although, some people seem to think it's very impersonal and these people prefer writing letters over composing an e-mail. I can understand those sentiments, though I don't share them.

The only way to write e-mail for me, is to write one in school, since I don't have internet at home. To do so, first off, I have to obtain a computer. There are very many computers in school, but it's usual that they're all occupied. I first must have walked through big parts of school before eventually having found one, in the busy hours.

There ya go. I could've made it sound a little more natural, but I would've had to entirely rearrange some of your sentence structure and stuff - so I just fixed some punctuation and the bits that sounded the most awkward. Hope that helps. :)

What are “the big parts of school”? Are you talking about rooms that are larger? Do you mean you have to walk through a lot of different rooms? Do you have to walk across the school? I’m confused on that part. How about “Durring busy hours I have to walk across the school and check various large rooms before I find a computer that is available.”
