On first you must know, for people who wasn't present, that i make a white night before to take bus sunday morning!! ^^

i jump my adventure to take the bus very (very very) shortly...
finaly bus don't take the eurostars like i was thinking but the boat..
i arrive to london on victoria station

my hostels


so i decide to cross "hide parck" for fun, and that were a greatfull stroll (balade cf systrans)
i arrive to my hostel and i'm in rooms with 1 men and 4 girls...
I let you imagine the incredibel night of sex... (in my dream of course...)

DAY 9
__________________________________________________________

I'M SO HAPPY!!!
Yesterday I had a fucking day! Fucking migraine! Fucking Underground! Fucking ATM (Automated teller machine for take cach ) ! Fucking Excel!

But finnaly WHAT A FUCKING FLATE!!!
Just uncredible, that look like "spanish hostel"
Their are some "bullet hole" on the bulding but that old
Imagine a flat on 3 floors with just a junky-man and girls!
When i'm arriving i'm going on the roof and everybody was here with beer and splif
so i introduced myself and i was going by cigarets and beer for my first meeting!!
Their are lot of french but after talking with their i realized how my 3 month are becoming realy difficult (party, drugs, rock, alcool, trans, metal, drugs, drugs... and working at 08:30 a.m. )
If you know how london is the Drugs place!!
I have alredy 2 way for buy what i want: marijuana , Taz , cock... and... LSD!!! just amazing !! I don't want test specialy Taz and cock but in TRANS party that could be a great experiment

but for LSD... "TATE modern" I know you wait me...

My only problem is internet... but i'm a geek and i can connect to 5 wifi so i hope to succecfull crack one of both...

A last thing, my roomsharer live here but he is never here (always with his girls-friend) so I have the room for me


I LOVE LONDON!!!!!!




__________________________________________________________

DAY 10
__________________________________________________________


already ten days... amazing...
I tolk with Janny from finnland and this guy is a chief cooking at the top of his bulding :



he say that it's a uncredible view of london at the top




what a fucking job... at the begin i was very exciting but now i must fill up fucking excel document... not always funny, imagine for a futur computer science enginer do 120 times the same things... i had learn to be lazy (but effective) for 2 years... i not do for this fucking work...
it's just my bad periode.
finnaly i have a good payroll at the end of the month so it's could be more difficult... that's just frustrating to feel that you don't use your real skills... ok i have finnish to cry on myself

the last night manon, not our artist, but one of my flatemate, and a friend of her, decide to make a cooking competition!! so i was in the jury ^^ always when you can eat for free

the two was just excellent but manon'food was more sofisticated :
-rice cooking with coco milk
-sweet pepper
-tuna with ognion
- and so the most surprising banana and pineapple!!

and the guy was more stronger:
-omelette
-potatose with ognion and other things...



So finnaly i decide to vote for manon because her plat is full off color and different tast.


maybe one day i'll cooking my special carbonara


Next saturday i'm probably go on the "JACKS" a trans club of london, my friend intership is ok also!!
I think that'll be funny!!!

see you all!!!

Alright
Gros, it looks very nice for you. (hope) you’ll enjoy your trip. Was it good on
the boat? Have you drunk a lot of beers with duty free ?


So let’s
correct your text, firstly most of your mistakes is just you almost always
speak at present !


(On)At first
you must know, for people who (wasn't) weren’t present, that I (make) had a (white night) sleepless night before (going) to take (my) bus Sunday morning!! ^^

I jump (jumped) my adventure to take the bus very (very very) (shortly) fastly...
(finaly) finally the bus (don't)doesn’t take the Eurostar like I (was thinking)
thought, but the boat..
I arrive (arrived) to London (on) at Victoria
station :

http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=q&hl=fr&geocode=&q=victoria+london&ie=UTF8&ll=51.498217,-0.144196&spn=0.024472,0.058022&z=14&iwloc=addr

my hostel(s) is here :

http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=d&hl=fr&geocode=&saddr=&daddr=51.511307,-0.184193&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=14&sll=51.512161,-0.17458&sspn=0.024465,0.058022&ie=UTF8&z=14


So I decide (decided) to cross "hide parck park" for fun, and that (were) was a greatfull greatful stroll (balade cf systrans)
I arrive (arrived) to my hostel (and) : I'm in (a) room(s) with 1 men and 4 girls(birds
= meuf )...
I let you imagine the incredibel incredible night of sex... (in my dream(s) of course...)

So I'm wake up I woke up at 7 (o’clock) and (go) went to my work (on) in waterloo :

http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=q&hl=fr&geocode=&q=waterloo+london&sll=44.016521,-80.892334&sspn=3.618481,7.426758&ie=UTF8&ll=51.50308,-0.107117&spn=0.048939,0.116043&z=13&iwloc=addr

I (take) took the underground ((who) which was very underground...) (for bip-bip) to beep-beep : (don't came) don’t try
this ? it's impossible to defraud (frauder) there is lot of security agents...
but the advise (are) is very well ^^

I’m arrive I arrived at destination at (9h10) 9:10 (I have meet) the appointment was
at 9:30 but I prefer (prefered) to be (prudent) careful the first day ^^ :
I wait I'm waiting...
9:30...
I('m) waiting...
9:45...
I('m) waiting...
10:00...
I('m) waiting...
10:30...
I (saw) watched the clock and hurt myself to have (forget) forgotten the jet lag (decalage horair) :az&é:


so my (trainee master) Boss of training course explain (explained to) me my mission and then
I (go) went to see a meeting on "safe and health at work" so bo(r)ring...

after that (I’m going) I went to lunch with another trainee who (was ever came) has already come in the compani (company)... (it's) He’s French and he explain (explained to) me lot of thing(s) very useful(l)... (like the fact that French (boy) guys are
very apreciate appreciated by (the) London (girls) birds )

the bad tast(e) of the British isn't false : just(e) imagin(e) : at the lunch, they never take have a true meal,
just a sandwi(s)ch (who) which they eat in front of (her) their computer...

I (don't) can’t explain now my job but it's like real(l)y exciting!!!

Now I stay I'm staying at the (desck work) office (for) to use the Internet to find a flatmate and post this trip report...
I’m going to sleep (during) 6 night(s) (in) at my hostel (with the Italian
girls ^^ ).

There is lot of thing(s) to say but that's all (for) now ^^

See you later

PS : Maybe I made some mistake because I'm very sick (I have a massive fever ), sorry !

You're welcome ! I haven't already read all your message Gros, but as Bird didn't correct the begining that I read, I'm going to correct the mistakes you made.

hey firstly like you can see, i try (I'm trying) to make (to write) this topic totaly (only) in
english... that's (it's?) not easy for me but i think that's (it) could be funny to
see the improve (progression) (or not) of my write (writing)...
So for help (to help) me i ask to (I'm asking) manon, bird, elie and anybody (everybody) who want (would like) to corect (correct :p) me like that :

Even if my english is now really better that before, I still make mistakes, but for the text I corrected, it should be alright. Some mistakes you made aren't considered as really big mistakes, but I think you'd rather say, for exemple : "I'm trying to write this topic..." than "I try to make this topic..."
Even if we've been stuying english for 7 years and more at school, most people are unable to use correctly the present ! But they think they're able to use it ! It's just because in French we're always using the present simple. But in english, if you use it, it will mean that it's general. For exemple : "What do you do ?" and "What are you doing ?"

In french there is no difference, but in english it's important, because the first one means : "What do you do, in your life ? Not now" and the second one : "What are you doing, right now ?"

It seems to be a bit stupid that I remind that, but it's very important to understand that, because without mastering this, I don't see the interest to learn other more difficults tenses like past simple or present perfect.

EDIT : I've just finished to read your text Gros, congratulation for the journay and the text, even if you seem to be unable to write in the past ! (It's a problem when we want to tell a story ...) Maybe you could do some grammar exercises, even if it's a bit borring sometimes, but you have to have a base I think ... But writing in here is already a good exercise, and that what I wanted to do when I created this english forum, but it's never had a lot of success actually ... In here, it's really important to be able to make a sentence using the past simple. It's not really complicated, you just have to know irregular verbs ...

If I can correct Bird just in some sentences :

(finaly) finally the bus (don't)doesn’t (didn't ?) take the Eurostar like I (was thinking)
thought (had thought), but the boat..

and (go) went to my work (on) in (at ? :p) waterloo

But I don't know what is "Waterloo" exactly, and like prepositions is the most difficult thing for me after pronounciation, I don't know ...

In any case, I'm really looking forward to going to London to visit you MG, even if you don't have any home at all !

PS : "White night" is really funny ^^ But it doesn't work actually ... :p

I think I can correct Élie's translation Let's see it !

hey firstly like you can see, i try (I'm trying) to make (to write) this topic totaly (only) in
english... that's (it's?) not easy for me but i think that's (it) could be funny to
see the improve (progression) (or not) of my write (writing)...
So for help (to help) me i ask to (I'm asking) manon, bird, elie and anybody (everybody) who want (would like) to corect (correct :p) me like that :

1st	that's <> it's	I think it's is better too.
2nd	anybody <> everybody	Anybody is better here because everybody would mean he's asking the whole Earth whereas he's just asking people who want.

(finaly) finally the bus (don't)doesn’t (didn't ?) take the Eurostar like I (was thinking)
thought (had thought), but the boat..

1st	doesn't <> didn't	I said doesn't because it's a general case : the bus never take the eurostar.
2nd	thought <> had thought	I think thought is better because he always thought that before, had thought would mean he had thought that once before and that's all.
3rd	on <> at <> in	Waterloo seems to just be a district so it's in.

And Élie you have made some mistakes if you want I can correct them

that's a very colorful topic isn't it ?

making mistake is just natural, i don't think it's neccessary to try to correct them to perfection so much. A langage is something that will come simply and naturally, not like in english classroom.
I have an advice to give you, it is not to translate word for word into French in your head, because the expressions and way of speaking french-english are differents.

and i'm shure the english girls will think that your accent and mistake is charming and cute ^^
(or not)

1st

that's <> it's

I think it's is better too.

It's "it" in fact, because "It is could" doesn't exist.

1st

doesn't <> didn't

I said doesn't because it's a general case : the bus never take the eurostar.

Both works in fact ...

2nd

thought <> had thought

I think thought is better because he always thought that before, had thought would mean he had thought that once before and that's all.

No, when you tell a story, and you want to tell something which is happened before what you're telling, you've got to use the "Past Perfect", it's like in french. But people are going to understand you, even if you use just Past Simple.

For the rest, I agree with you.

But I think I can correct you to Bird if you want ^^ Even if you didn't write as much as me.

For exemple :

So let’s
correct your text, firstly most of your mistakes is (are) just you almost always
speak at (the) present !

:p


No Manon, it's a war between Bird and me to know who has the best english level ! Mouahhahahhhahahha !

2nd

thought <> had thought

I think thought is better because he always thought that before, had thought would mean he had thought that once before and that's all.

No, when you tell a story, and you want to tell something which is
happened before what you're telling, you've got to use the "Past
Perfect", it's like in french. But people are going to understand you,
even if you use just Past Simple.

I'm not sure because the my translation for this sentence is :
Finalement le bus ne prend pas l'Eurostar comme je le pensais, mais le bateau.
and yours
Finalement le bus n'a pas pris l'eurostar comme je l'avais pensé, mais le bateau.

So I will correct your mistakes too !!

You're welcome ! I haven't already read all your message Gros, but as
Bird didn't correct the begining beginning that I read, I'm going to correct the
mistakes you made.

<blockquote>hey firstly like you can see, i try (I'm trying) to make (to write) this topic totaly (only) in

In any case, I'm really looking forward to going go to London to visit you MG, even if you don't have any home at all !

PS : "White night" is really funny ^^ But it doesn't work actually ... :p

For Manon I think you're wrong we learn more with our mistakes so it's very important to understand when we make ones, we better improve the language like that.

we're always using we always use

No, I can use "we're always using", and maybe it's better than "we always use".

Except that, you weren't able to find really big mistakes in what I wrote ... It's just 3 or 4 spelling mistakes ...

Oh yes you were right I've just seen that :
We use the present continuous with temporal adverbs when the action is not intentional. And in your sentence we use the present simple but it's not good so we have to use "we are always using..." but it's another rule of the present continuous
But you made some mistakes which are not just lack of attention for example journay it's just because your pronounciation is so bad than you can't write the good words, or "to going" is not small mistake you know...

"I'm looking forward to going ..." is not a mistake ^^ I know that it seems to be strange to write : "To going" or "To +ing" but it's because it's a phrasal verb. It's : "To be Looking forward to" not just "To be Looking forward". That's the reason.

It's like : "I'm used to doing something" ... Or "I get used to doing something" ...


PS : For my bad prononciation, it's just because I'm too lazy to articulate when I speak. And also because, like I don't have any perfect english accent at all (you've got to live in an english speaking country for a long time for that), and like I don't want that people understand since the moment they hear me to speak, that I'm french, I'd rather use a strange accent, from part of none ^^ But I can speak with a very clear French accent like you Bird if I want...

Ok you're right again for this, phrasal verbs are so difficult for me but I'm studying to become better than you and it would come soon !!
You know I try to perfect my French accent to better pull some birds because they prefer my accent than yours moreover your accent is not an accent and with it you have no nationality, you know when you speak French people say "Where are you from?" so I'm not sure your accent is worth mine! Indeed you make more written mistakes thaN me...

It's easy for you not to do as mistakes as me, when you don't write as much as me ! And it's also easier when you're always having an english dictionnary with you to prevent the mistakes you'll make without it ! When I write, I just use my mind ! And I don't have to think for a long time to explain what I mean.

Except that, I don't know if Gros is going to read all of what we wrote ... But if he does, it will be good for him !

YOU ARE CRAZY !


Gros, i have an advice : Fuck english pussy's !
(You can mistake, now)

that's a very colorful topic isn't it ?

yes ^^

and i'm shure the english girls will think that your accent and mistake is charming and cute ^^

i hope!!

But your mind isn't empty of mistakes and if you don't try to correct your mistakes alone you won't evolve. So yes I often use my dictionary but it allows to learn more and I also use it when I speak French because we never know a whole language even if it's our native language. And I can easily explain orally without my dictionary.

So, that's right for Gros I hope you'll read all we right (and not only words about birds from Manon ) and try to understand your mistakes.
