My trip with friends and my girlfriend to the Guns N 'Roses concert in Mexico City

Hello, I'm Max ... And today I want to tell you about a trip I had last year with my friends and my girlfriend ... (To the place I went),  I went to the Guns N 'Roses concert in Mexico City .. I have to say that the concert was great, to the extent that it was the best thing I have ever experienced in my life. Now, since we went to the Merida airport for the first time, it was worth it because the landscapes (of) during the trip was very beautiful. After (2) a two-and-a-half-hour journey (of travel), we arrived at my grandmother's house, which is (somewhat) rather close to ( the university city) Ciudad Universitaria (about an hour); We arrived at around 6:00 p.m. On Tuesday, (then) I wanted to eat something because I was starving ( dying of hunger), but my friends did not want to go because they were tired from the trip, so I went to dinner with my girlfriend ... The next day, we woke up very early to be able to make the most out of the day and be able to visit some places. Some time later, at around 3:15 p.m., we had to go back to my grandmother's house so we could start preparing to go to the concert; Finally, we arrived at around 5:30 pm.  It is worth mentioning that we were late and that there was not much time to prepare our things, so we had to hurry (and) to be able to arrive at least an hour and a half before (to) so we could get  (have) good places, but in the end , as always, we all arrived late, because of the traffic (of) in the city and mainly of my girlfriend ... However, at last ( I'm done), we were able to get to the concert, where Axel Rose was great singing my favorite songs.

My first trip in English by Alejandra Calderón

My first trip in cruise was in 2016; ( it is ) its name (are) is Monarch and the ship had ten floors.  Each floor had a different activity (diverse): casino, theatre,  cinema, restaurants, bar, lobby, rooms, pools, disco and one site where the people (can saw) could see all the sea and pretend to be ( a) the Captain (to) of  that ship.

The travel was for seven days and we visited: Cayman Island, Belice, Roatan and Cozumel; but the most beautiful place for me was the Cayman Island. The water (on the beach) in the sea was crystalline and the sand on the beach (was) felt so soft (than) as I stepped on it.

In Roatan I visited (at) a Safari and lookout in (a) the middle of the rainforest but the ( hot) temperature was amazingly hot.

The best trip until now in my life because I (knew) visited more places and countries than I could see in my life (can see).

USE OF PREPOSITIONS WITH ADDRESSES

I consider it is important to keep in mind how prepositions "in", "on", and "at" are used to describe where you live and I am sharing with you a video with a good explanation that can be of help for you.

It is also important to clarify something I noticed in your book, which teaches British English, they use "in" before a street name. After some investigation I found that they do it when the street makes an "area". However, it is better to use "on" when you only have the street name as I mentioned to you and as it is explained in the video:

Here is another video that will clarify the use of these prepositions:

Comparative and Superlative forms of adjectives -

Some two-syllable adjectives which have both kinds of comparative and superlative forms are:
 

clever → cleverer/more clever → cleverest/(the) most clever

common → commoner/more common → commonest/(the) most common

gentle → gentler/more gentle → gentlest/(the) most gentle

humble → humbler/more humble (etc.)

hollow → hollower/more hollow

narrow → narrower/more narrow

polite → politer/more polite

quiet → quieter/more quiet

simple → simpler/more simple

stupid → stupider/more stupid

subtle → subtler/more subtle

For two-syllable adjectives ending in "e", like "little", only add "r" for the comparative form and "st" for the supperlative:

 

Irregular forms are: 

 good                        -     better   -   best

bad                           -    worse    -   worst

 far                           -     farther/further    - farthest/furthest **

many, some, much    -     more   -     most 

little                          -     littler / less  - littlest / least

** When shall we use farther and when further?

I found the following explanation which I think is very helpful:

"Further" Versus "Farther" The quick and dirty tip is to use “farther” for physical distance and “further” for metaphorical, or figurative, distance. It's easy to remember because “farther” has the word “far” in it, and “far” obviously relates to physical distance. 

 

Hi!,This is my trip.
When  I went in   (to) Cuba with my family, I was 6 years old so I don't remember so much about the trip.
(All) It all  started when my mom wanted to travel and (knew) visit Cuba.
We stayed in (a) the hotel "La Habana". The first thing that I remember is when I (to) saw (is) The Capitol, that construction is so old and beautiful.
I really wanted to see (knew) the beach,so my Mom took me to the beach and we ate (aet) fajitas.
The typical drink is "Mojitos" but (them) they have alcohol and I was (so little) too young so (I don't drank) drink alcohol.
That was (the) my first travel in aeroplane.
I really enjoyed that trip.
