Telling a story This happened a last year. I live in Barcelona with my family. We rented an apartment in San Sebastian because my cousin got married there. We did the journey in a car. The first part of the journey was fine. We were using a new satnav. It was very comfortable to use that and old map. We put in the name where was our final destination. Firstly, everything are correctly but suddenly the satnav turned off. I have tried turned on but were impossible then we were going in the wrong direction. We stopped, got out an old map. We had wasted one hour in found the right direction. Luckily, although we arrived a few later in San Sebastian, we could enjoy the weekend in the wedding.

Hi Estela. There are a variety of ways to say/write things, so these are some of my corrections. If you have any questions, let me know. - Jason

Telling a story

This happened a last year. I live in Barcelona with my family. We rented an apartment in San Sebastian because my cousin got married there. We did the journey by car. ("in a car" is also correct, but "by car" is perhaps better). 

The first part of the journey was fine. We were using a new satnav. It was very comfortable to use that and we had an old map. We put in the name of our final destination. Firstly, everything worked correctly but suddenly the satnav turned off. I have tried to turn it on but it was impossible, so then we were going in the wrong direction. We stopped and got out the old map. We had wasted one hour in finding the right direction.

Luckily, although we arrived a few hours later in San Sebastian, we were able to enjoy the weekend of the wedding.

Telling a story

I live in Barcelona with my family. This happened last year. We rented an apartment in San Sebastian because my cousin was getting married there. We made the journey by car.

The first part of the journey was fine. We were using a new satnav. It was very comfortable to use, along with an old map. We entered our final destination. At first, everything was fine, but suddenly the satnav lost power. I tried to turn it back on, but I couldn’t.   We were going in the wrong direction, so we stopped and got out the old map. We had wasted one hour, but we finally found the right direction.

Luckily, although we arrived a bit late in San Sebastian, we were able to enjoy the weekend and the wedding.
