Pocono lake I went to the Pocono mountain lake for the weekend. I took about 2 hours from New York. There were lots of trees. I thought that can people live there, because it did not look easy to find facilities or markets. When I arrived at the house we booked before, it was very nice. The day after, I woke up early. I could see a pool and some benches in front of the house. There was a lake that we could ride a boat nearby. It was so good. After having breakfast, some of us were swimming. We went to Kayaking. It was my first time to kayak. I got on the boat with 2 friends. I was a little bit scared but it was fun. After that I was in a hammock. We ate a lot of food, mostly Korean food. Bibim Noodles and Korean snacks. We had a barbeque for dinner. I ate a lot of stake. Also we had late-night meal. We ate Tteokbokki (Stir-fried Rice Cake) and Korean snacks. We played a mafia game until 4 am. I was tired but still very fun. I could get to know my friends better. I had a great time for the weekend. When I leave the US, I feel like I will miss them a lot. It’s going to be very sad.

Pocono lake

I went to the Pocono mountain lake for the weekend. It took about 2 hours from New York. There were a lot of trees. I thought that can people live there, wondered if people could live here because it did not look easy to find facilities or markets. When I arrived at the house we had booked before, it was very nice I was impressed with how nice it was. The next day after, I woke up early and looked around. I could see a pool and some benches in front of the house. There was a lake that we could ride a boat on nearby. It was so nice good. After having breakfast, some of us were went swimming. We also went to kayaking. It was my first time to kayak. I got on the boat with 2 friends. I was a little bit scared but it was fun. After that I was (laid/rested) in a hammock. We ate a lot of food, mostly Korean food. We ate Bibim Noodles and Korean snacks. We had a barbeque for dinner. I ate a lot of steak. Also we had a late-night snack and ate Tteokbokki (Stir-fried Rice Cake) and more Korean snacks. We played a mafia game until 4 am. I was tired but it was still very fun. I could got to know my friends better. I had a great time for over the weekend. When I leave the US, I feel like I will miss them a lot. It’s going to be very sad.

Notes:

1. 'I thought, "can people live here?", because...'.  This would also work, but you need the quotation marks(" ") or it doesn't make sense.  The way I wrote it is more natural.

2. "When I arrived, it was very nice." This means, "It was nice when I arrived, but wasn't nice later."


Good work! If you have questions please ask.

Pocono lake

I went to the Pocono mountain lake for the weekend. It took about 2 hours from New York. There were lots of trees and I thought to myself why do people live there? The reason I thought this was because it did not look easy to find facilities or markets. When I arrived at the house we booked before and it was very nice. The day after, I woke up early and I could see a pool and some benches in front of the house. There was a lake that we could ride a boat nearby and It was so beautiful. After having breakfast, some of us were swimming. We went to Kayaking and It was my first time kayaking. I got on the boat with 2 friends and I was a little bit scared but it was fun. After that I was in a hammock and then We ate a lot of food, mostly Korean food. Bibim Noodles and Korean snacks. We had a barbecue for dinner and I ate a lot of steak Also we had late-night meal. We ate Tteokbokki (Stir-fried Rice Cake) and Korean snacks. We played a mafia game until 4 am. I was tired but still very fun. I could get to know my friends better.
