Practising new vocabulary

Today, is the first day in the presidential elections, and I'm going to vote for my favorite political leader.   Although there is a law that allows absentee ballots to be open to all voters,I preferred to go there by myself to see what was happening.  What I found was quite boring; dozens of voters were queuing up for voting.   I joined the line and while I was waiting i found a friend of mine -who works as a chef- standing before me.  I welcomed him warmly, but he seemed in a bad condition so I immediately asked him how it was going. "Unfortunately,I quit my job and I have just enough money to get by; I'm in a difficult situation now," he said.  "Don't be silly! You are a good self-defence trainer so you can start up a business for a (commercial) aim in this area.  You're gonna make a lot of money and compensate for (the loss of) your old job. Finally, don't worry about commercials as I'm a journalist and I'm gonna make a special report about your new business."


I've been a little more lenient that Christie here, and tried to only flag what absolutely needs correcting.   However, there are a couple of things that I've probably corrected to British/Aus on may be fine in US spelling.

"by myself" is an interesting one.   I think if you follow the idea from the previous sentence, that you had the chance not to attend, but you decided to go anyway, you want to say just "go there myself."

As Christie says, "gonna" is evil, but where you are quoting a conversation, it is fine to use informal language, so I have left those ones in.

Practicing new vocabs

Today is the first day in the presidential elections, and I'm gonna vote for my favorite political (leader). Although there is a (law) that allows absentee ballots to be open to all voters, I preferred to go there by myself to see what was (happening). What I found was quite boring.  Dozens of voters were queuing up for voting to vote.  I joined the line and while I was waiting, I found a friend of mine -who works as a (chef)- standing before in front of me.  I welcomed him warmly, but he (seemed) in a bad condition to be in a bad mood so I immediately asked him how is it going  how he was doing.

 

"Unfortunately, I quit my job and I have just enough money to get by; I'm in a difficult (situation) now," he said.  

 

"Don't be silly! You are a good (self-defense) trainer so you can start up a business for a (commercial) aim in this (area), you're gonna make a lot of money and compensate for your old job. Finally, don't worry about commercials as I'm a journalist and I'm gonna make a special (report) about your new business."


Just as a note to you, "gonna" is a very informal phrase that doesn't usually appear in writing.  Although we use "gonna" when we speak, it's probably safer to use "going to" instead.  

Example:  "I'm a journalist and I'm going to make a special report about your new buisness."


Good work!  :)
