Sailing a yacht

Sailing a yacht

Add to favorites
It was amazing that even in Minsk you can experience sailing the yacht that can sail even to the ocean waters. A yacht has many sails. Our yacht had white sail and blue-yellow sail. When we went to the center of the sea we put a white sail and when we went back we put a blue-yellow one. Each sail was for a different type of wind.
When we came back to the shore I played with my friends football and  hide-and-seek. Then we ate our home-grown grapes. This year my granny has a good harvest of sweet and juicy grapes on her dacha.  I think her grapes are better and more tasty than even seedless grapes from the shop.  
I was a very nice day. We enjoyed last warm days by sailing, playing and eating.  I'll remember this day for long.

Dear Ksenya,

You have written a very nice story. I was reading it with interest, looking forward to learning more about your adventures. And it is pretty accurate too. There are some mistakes, but they are of advanced level. You can be proud of yourself.

My advice is to look at the title. It makes us think that we would read about yachting. But you speak little about it. Instead, you add information about the birthday celebration.
Can you think which title would better fit the content?

Your today's score is:
Words: 178
Content: 178 х 3 = 543
Language: 178 х 1 = 178
Multimedia: 100
Total: 812 points

Well done! And you have time to post another story(ies) before the content is closed.
Happy Writing!

Dear Valentina,

Thanks a lot for your comments. Maybe you are right. I think "Birthday party at the Minsk sea" is a better title.
