Please, correct the grammar When I look at these photos one episode comes to my mind. In our hostel we met a French guy, we were chatting all the time, 2 hours in the bus, 2 hours in a queue, 4 hours while climbing the mountains. So I really can say my favorite quote: 1 day spending in a trip can be better for know someone than 1 month in casual life. So once we climbed and the view was spectacular, he said: “ by the way, guys, let’s share stereotypes about our countries. And there he go. ( or and there we go ) He told that one of stereotypes was that most of russian people make squats while eating sunflowers seeds, they are jobless and a bit dangerous. He couldn’t remember the name of this word. We were staring at him for a while and asked surprisingly: “Gopniki ?? “ He declaimed: yes, exactly. I couldn’t believe that was one of stereotypes, but here it is. I wanted to give him a dose of his own medicine when it was my turn to tell about stereotypes of France, but I couldn’t remember nothing offensive just I mentioned lack of masculinity of men ( actually, I don’t think so. I have never been to France. Haha) and that they are frogeaters. Actually Chinese are frogeaters as well. So my revenge turned out into the failure. And then I realized that many years ago some of my foreign friends told me they were preoccupied about their trip to Russia because they’ve read some articles about many dangerous blocks in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. But here I should make a quick remark. Those guys were from Brazil and Colombia. The “safest” countries in the world....

So while I step down from the mountains I was thinking about the country of gopniks, beautiful mountains and breathtaking views, I was thinking that Huangshan mountains were not entertaining enough for me because just to step up is completely boring. Camping and skiing is what I like to do while I am in the mountains. The only one challenge there was the path up of 4 hours about 10 km. I looked at these mountains and missed my lovely Elbrus.

Beautifully written - I just made a few corrections regarding the correct prepositions needed in some phrases, for example: 2 hours on a bus - not "in", "on"a trip instead of "in a trip". I loved your description of the mountains and their "breathtaking" view. I have added a few other words which I hope you can now include in your vocabulary as well - like "descend or ascend" mountains. Overall I enjoyed your story very much and it was very well done. Keep up the good work, Yaroslava.

Please, correct this grammar

When I look at these photos, one episode comes to my mind. In our hostel, we met a French guy.  We were chatting all the time.  Two hours on the bus, 2 hours in a queue, 4 hours while climbing the mountains. So I really can say my favourite quote comes to mind:  One day spent on a trip can be better to get to know someone than 1 month spent in casual life. (or you could say "everyday life") So once we had climbed to the top  the view was spectacular.  He then said: “ By the way, guys, let’s share stereotypes about our countries." Here we go.   He told us that one of his stereotypes was where most of the Russian people squat while eating sunflowers seeds.  These people are jobless and a bit dangerous. He couldn’t remember the name of this word. (or you could say "What they are called.")  We were staring at him for a while and asked surprisingly: “Gopniki ?? “ He exclaimed: "Yes, exactly." I couldn’t believe that was one of the stereotypes but there it is.  I wanted to give him a dose of his own medicine when it was my turn to talk about the stereotypes of France but ("But" and "and" are conjunctions which means they join words together so you do not need to add a coma.) I couldn’t remember anything offensive, so I just mentioned: "The men exhibit a lack of masculinity.  ( Actually, I don’t think so. I have never been to France. Haha)  They also eat frogs".  Actually Chinese are frog eaters as well. So my revenge turned (Or you could say "backfired" on me.) into a failure. Then I realised that many years ago some of my foreign friends told me they were preoccupied about their trip to Russia because they had read some articles about many dangerous housing blocks in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. (It is not correct english to begin a sentence with the conjunctions "but" or "and".) Here I should make a quick remark. The other guys were from Brazil and Colombia. The “safest” countries in the world....

So while I climbed down the mountains, I was thinking about the country of "gopniks" with it's  beautiful mountains and breathtaking views.  I was thinking that the Huangshan Mountains were not entertaining enough for me anymore because just to climb up a mountain  (or you could say "ascend")is completely boring. Camping and skiing are (It is a plural subject so that is why a plural verb is needed.) what I like to do while I am in the mountains. The only (No need to add "one" as that is unnecessarily repeating yourself.) challenge there was a path up to 4 hours long or about 10 km in distance.  I longed for (or you could say "reminisce" about...) these mountains and missed my lovely Elbrus.
