The three little pigs (Part Two)
(3) We should be using "his shoulders" as we are referring to a part of the man's body. Therefore, you may write: The first pig met a man who had on his shoulders a bale of straw. I chose to write: "The first pig met a man who had a bale of straw on his shoulders." because "had" indicates possession -- the man possessed a bale of straw.
(4) When you wrote "accepted it", it gives the reader an idea that the man took something from the pig. In fact, it was the pig who asked the man for some straw. In other words, the pig requested for something from the man. When we say "yes" to a request, we "accede to a request".
*In English, we wish someone well by telling them to "take care". However, we ask them to "be careful" of danger.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Hi Solenn,
I like your story. It brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood storybooks. I think the morale of the story is: You sow what you reap. Just a few suggestions for you:
(1) When we "recommend" something to someone, we suggest an idea because we have tried it before and it worked for us. Therefore, we have some faith that the idea should work for someone else too. However, I believe the Mother Pig wanted to give them a warning. When we "advise" someone, we draw on our wisdom and knowledge and share it with someone. There is an element of warning and care in a piece of advice.
Example: The doctor advised me to exercise regularly to keep myself healthy. / I recommended this hotel to her as I know they provide exceptional service.
(2) We open the door "for" someone. We use "for" here to indicate a purpose -- the purpose is to permit someone to enter.

Voilà les corrections! Je crois que tu essaies de traduire le français directement en anglais. Je peux presque voir les mots dans ta tête :) If faut s'habituer de penser en anglais sans avoir les mots français à la tête...
