Translation of Verfolgungsjagd

I have been living in Holland for the last 14 years and I know the mentality very well. Holland is a small country, everybody knows everybody, so if we want to succeed, we must seize the opportunity.
Until now I have tried the copy the mode of operation of Mike in class. Even the homework that they gave us do not match the exercise that we tried yesterday. I could not fulfill this task anyway.
I'm also not interested in such things, but I had a classmate who recommended the book 'Mice and Men' and that's why I bought it. It is a very interesting book and tells about old times in the U.S.
