A beautiful day. Last week we had a trip to Boos koura forest about... #1 (permalink) Sat May 09, 2009 0:30 am   A beautiful day. Last week we had a trip to Boos koura forest about...
 

hello every body.i hope you allfine.i wuld thank you all or your help to improve my writting.i would like to correct this one.and tell me which type is.

Last week we had a trip to Boos koura forest about 8, 08 miles away from Casablanca, I woke up early, it seemed to be a beautiful day since the sun was shining and the sky was blue and soft, I prepared my meal and went to meet my friend at bus station.
On our way the streets were nearly empty, as it was the weekend and therefore we reached a place named Sidi Maarouf in about 15 minutes, where we would meet our friend called Mohammed.
Then we took a taxi to head to Bous koura, on our way we passed through grassy fields, some villas were surrounded by gardens and other some villas were being built, also we passed by some villages.
Short after that we passed by the forest but the taxi did not stop, I thought he would take another short way to get to the forest, but still he did not stop so I asked him if we were approaching, then we were surprised to find out that we had missed the place however it was our mistake, we had to take our way back on foots, it was long and the weather was very hot, in spite of that we took as adventure.
After about two hours we reached the forest, I was very tired, I could not stood on my leg, I was sweating, and therefore I laid on the grass, winded down, looked into the sky through huge trees, around us were clumps of flowers and grass, and inhaled fresh air ,at the moment I felt communed with nature , started to have a different feeling of life, I was also happy to be with my friends together, every thing was wonderful that day, after that we continued enjoying our day.
In after noon we moved to a near field, where we found plenty of goats, cows eating the grass, it was a beautiful view, as well as there was a far away forest, which looked like the same as forests as in Europe ,finally we went back home. It was a beautiful event, we saw real nature, breathed a pure fresh air ,and once again be with my friends together, however; we will always recall this day.

Beautiful words, but few things to correct like using capital letters properly...not in the essay but everywhere you write.

Few sentences like this one need to be rephrased --

I prepared my meal and went to meet my friend at bus station

>>

I prepared my meal and we friends gathered at the bus station.

('meet' connotes meeting and I guess you wanted to say 'you gathered at bus station')

Have a beautiful day :)

A beautiful day. Last week we had a trip to Boos koura forest about... #4 (permalink) Mon May 11, 2009 10:48 am   A beautiful day. Last week we had a trip to Boos koura forest about...
 

Last week we had a trip to Boos koura forest about eight miles away from Casablanca. I woke up early. It seemed to be a beautiful day since the sun was shining and the sky was blue and soft. I prepared my meal and went to meet my friend ( Ali ? ) at the bus-station.

On our way the streets were nearly empty as it was the weekend, and therefore we reached a place named Sidi Maarouf in about 15 minutes. Here we had arranged to meet our other friend called Mohammed.

Then we took a taxi and headed off to Bous koura. On our way we passed grassy fields, and saw some villas which were surrounded by beautiful gardens, and other villas in the process of being built.

Shortly after that we passed by the forest but the taxi did not stop. I thought the driver was taking a short-cut to the forest, but still he showed no sign of stopping, so I asked him if we were approaching the forest. We we were surprised to find out that we had missed the place completely. However it was our mistake and we had to make our way back on foot. It was a long way to walk and the weather was very hot. In spite of this mistake we all looked upon this as an adventure.

After about two hours we reached the forest and we were all very tired.
I was sweating, and therefore I laid down on the grass, relaxed, and looked into the sky through the branches of the huge trees. Around us everywhere were patches of flowers and grass. I inhaled the fresh country air and felt connected with nature.

Life began to feel much better. I was also very happy to be together with my friends once again. Everything was wonderful that day.

In the afternoon we moved to a near-by field, where we found plenty of goats and cows eating grass. It was a beautiful sight. In the distance there was a forest which looked the same as forests in Europe look. Eventually we decided to head back home.

We had enjoyed a beautiful day out. We had experienced nature at close quarters, breathed the pure fresh air, and once again I had been with my friends. I think it is a day that we will all remember.

thank you so much mister kitosdada.but i have a question please is that why you used the past perfect at the end of the essay? is it because it contains a particular feeling that we had never had before that point?
thank you so much once again.

Yes, it is exactly because of the wonderful feeling that you had, and that your essay portrayed. Thank you for it.

The simple things are always the best, especially when shared with ones close friends.
