My summer holiday by Martin Winther

My Summer holiday:

Usually I spend my holiday sleeping, eating and… I am just going to exclude the last thing to maintain a decent amount of formality, but this holiday was just about the opposite. If I were not working at the local grocery store, I would be out acting stupidly with my mates, and barely having the time to sleep.

After finishing the exams, which went horrible, I had a couple of days to pass before the first major event of the holiday, a week at Youth Camp in Øster Hurup. Youth Camp is a recent developed concept for people who are in the age of 16-24. At Youth Camp there were various events during daytime, drinking games and such, and at evening, the party continued at the camp or at a night club in Øster Hurup.

I barely managed to get my cloth washed, before i was heading on, onto a new adventure, this time a little more sober one, with my family. We rented an Auto camper in Germany, and spent the next 3 weeks travelling, Switzerland, France, Monaco, Italy and Ostrich, which had both positives and negatives, because we got to see the major attractions, but we had to spend a lot of time in the car.

The day before we got home, called Jeppe and told me he was planning a canoe trip, I accepted his offer excitedly, and we spent 3 hilarious days in a tent and canoe.

Text for picture: It proved harder than expectation to pee in a canoe, which happened quite alot, because we were drinking beers simultaneously.

  1. Nice language. However, beware of concord: I were - was. As a rule you can only write "if I were" if you are indicating wishful thinking. And I am guessing that you actually did go to work :-)
    Furthermore: adjectives/adverbs: a recent - a recently developed, spelling: cloth - clothes,expectation - expected, alot - a lot looking up words: autocamper - camper van/ motorhome, sequence of verb and subject: called Jeppe - Jeppe called.
    Sounds like an interesting - but also strenuous - holiday :-)
