Summer 2015 pt 2

The second part of my Summer started on 26 July. After 10 fantastic days travelling around Belgium and Netherlands , I said goodbye to my friend Marco and I headed to Ireland where I had previously found a volunteer job in a hostel via the Internet .

I arrived at Dublin airport and then I took a bus to Waterford, on the east side of Ireland where the hostel was located. Arriving there I immediately found a good vibe; all the helpers of the hostel were playing a card game with the boss and his girlfriend, in other words, it was very easy to join the group and feel like I was at home .

I started work after 2 days. The job at the hostel was very easy, basically we just worked 4 hours a  day 5 days a week; so we had a lot of time to do many things like discover the the cities nearby Waterford or just chill out taking a coffee .

Unfortunately the month at the hostel passed quickly, I can just say thank's to all the people that I met during that period, It was awesome and an unforgettable life experience .

But it was the time for another adventure. I had become good friends with one of the helpers who had been a volunteer with me in the hostel. In fact we decided ( also with another girl) to end our summer travelling around Ireland together.
After Waterford we went to Galway for a couple of days where we saw the beautiful cliffs of Moher.
Then we headed to Dublin which was our last stop. Frankly we didn't see many things in Dublin, we just got drunk many times enjoying the night life .

To sum up, this summer has been probably the best one of my life but I'll work hard to do the same next year :)

Hello Francesco,

It certainly sounds like you had a great summer. There are a few corrections to your writing. When you are talking about a finished action in a finished time you should use the past simple and not the present perfect. As all of your story took place in the summer we know it is finished time. Secondly, when you are telling a story in the past and you want to talk about an event before that time you should use the past perfect - had + past participle.

Hope this helps

Bob
