How I spent this summer.

- Posted Sep 17, 2016
During my summer holidays I was in three places: Ukraine, in Kamenec Podol'ski, in a camp and village.
At first I was in Ukraine in Kamenec Podol'ski. I like that place, because here everything is very beautiful and amazing. The town has a nice fortress. My grandmother and uncle lives. In Kamenec Podol'ski.
Later I was in a camp, Zubronok in Belarus, I liked it there very much, because it's a very big and interesting place with many good children. In the camp I found good friends with whom I communicate up to this day.
And finally I was in a village with my aunt, uncle, cousin brother and my grandmother. We went to the lake, sunbathed and swam. Also we did a barbecue and played different games. My uncle and cousin and I went to the sauna and then we swam in the pool.
It was a great holidays.

It's good to see that finally your text found its way to the site. I can guess that it might be difficult for you to write in English, and, maybe, to write in general, but you have demonstrate strong character by finishing this job.
I do hope that you will continue writing, and you will see that each time it will be getting easier and easier. Remember, the beginning is half a battle, and you have made it.
You text is practically accurate, but some grammar mistakes prevent me from rating it as 3. As far as the content is concerned, I think your text might have been more interesting, if you had used more descriptions or facts about the places you visited. Please, try to add more value to your next contributions.
My greatest concern is about the photos. Are they made by you? I doubt.
Please, read Intellectual Property rules here
