Help with some homework That's some homework that I'm doing, could you help me with my mistakes? "I opened the door slowly, it was made of old and musty wood, so big that I couldn’t see the top, but that was maybe cause of the fog, that was covering every centimeter around me. My hands were shaking, but I didn’t know if it was 'cause of the cold snow that was landing calmly and silent on my clothes; 'cause of the fear of what was waiting for me behind that door; or cause of the excitement of what was waiting for me at the other side. I didn’t know what I was feeling, so I stayed stand still for at least 5 minutes, grabbing the froze door knob with both hands, till the mourning of an angry little animal woke me up. I turned back, looking for the poor one, to find a wolf at the top of a cliff, staring at his beloved one. I could swear that his eyes were full of tear while looking at her, so perfect and distant, the muse of every lost soul, wife of none, lover of all. The fool wolf would spend the hole night singing at her, confessing his words of love till he broke his voice, just to receive her cold light back. I looked straight again. That door was waiting for me to take my decision, what a gentle door. But time was not as kind and the night was dying. I had to take a decision. The woods or the door? The past or the future? I’ve never been good with decisions. And I couldn’t still remember what was I doing there, in the middle of nowhere of a huge everything. Maybe I was just dreaming, and at crossing that door I’ll wake up from a long dream and everyone will be happy to have me back. Maybe I was dead and that door was my new live. Maybe I was still alive and everything was real, the magic door, the enchanted woods, the lovely wolf. I closed the door slowly behind me, we’ll see."

Help with some homework

There's some homework that I'm doing, could you help me with my mistakes?

"I opened the door slowly, it was made of old and musty wood, so big that I couldn’t see the top, but that was maybe cause of the fog, that was covering every centimeter around me. My hands were shaking, but I didn’t know if it was because of the cold snow that was landing calmly and silently on my clothes; because of the fear of what was waiting for me behind that door; or because of the excitement of what was waiting for me at the other side.

(I slowly opened the door, the wood was old and musty. It was so big I couldn't see the top but maybe that was the fog, it completely surrounded my being. My hands were shaking, but I didn't know the cause. Was it the calm, silent snow landing on my clothes? The fear of what waited behind the door? Or the excitement of what waited for me on the otherside?) (An example of shortening up your sentences to get your point across)

I didn’t know what I was feeling, so I stood for at least 5 minutes, grabbing the frozen door knob with both hands, till the mourning of an angry little animal woke me up. I turned back to find a wolf at the top of a cliff, staring at his beloved. I could swear that his eyes were full of tears while looking at her, so perfect and distant, the muse of every lost soul, wife of none, lover of all. The fool wolf would spend the whole night singing at her, confessing his words of love till he broke his voice, just to receive her cold light back.


I looked forward. The door was waiting for me to make my decision. Such a gentle door. However, time was not as kind and the night was dying. I had to make a decision. The woods or the door? The past or the future? I’ve never been good with decisions. (:D I like this)

And I still could not remember what was I doing there, in the middle of nowhere (expanse of nothingness?). Maybe I was dreaming and crossing through the door, to the otherside, I’ll wake up from a long dream and everyone will be happy to have me back. Maybe I was dead and that door was my new life. Maybe I was still alive and everything was real, the magic door, the enchanted woods, the lovely wolf.

I closed the door slowly behind me, we’ll see."

 

You have good written skills. You get your point across well, these are great descriptive sentences! Things to work on: word choices, conjugation and expanding your already large vocabulary!

Help with some homework

That's some homework that I'm doing, could you help me with my mistakes?

"I opened the door slowly. It was made of old and musty wood and was so big that I couldn’t see the top. Maybe that was because of the fog that was covering every centimeter around me (it might sound more natural to say simply 'because of the fog surrounding me completely'). My hands were shaking, but I didn’t know if it was 'cause of the cold snow that was landing calmly and silently on my clothes; 'cause of the fear of what was waiting for me behind that door; or because of the excitement of what was waiting for me at on the other side.

I didn’t know what I was feeling, so I stayed stand stood still for at least 5 minutes, grabbing the frozen door knob with both hands, till the mourning of an angry little animal woke me up. I turned back, looking for the poor one (this doesn't work in English; you could just say 'I turned back, looking for it), to find a wolf at the top of a cliff, staring at his beloved one. I could swear that his eyes were full of tears while looking at her, so perfect and distant, the muse of every lost soul, wife of none, lover of all. The fool (?) wolf would spend the hole night singing at her, confessing his words of love till he broke his voice, just to receive her cold light back.

I looked straight again. That door was waiting for me to take make my decision. What a gentle door. But time was not as kind and the night was dying. I had to take make a decision. The woods or the door? The past or the future? I’ve never been good with decisions.

And I couldn’t still remember what was I I was doing there, in the middle of nowhere of a huge everything (I'm not quite sure what you mean by that phrase). Maybe I was just dreaming, and at crossing when I go through that door I’ll wake up from a long dream and everyone will be happy to have me back. Maybe I was dead and that door was my new live life. Maybe I was still alive and everything was real, the magic door, the enchanted woods, the lovely wolf.

I closed the door slowly behind me. We’ll see."
