#1 - First Essay of this 15 days project Well, at first, I decided to write an essay a day by 15 days to pratice my english, without any type of translator. Why "15 days", I think you can be wondering about it, so I'll explain it, I work on an oil rig (Petroleum plataform), or aboard and oil rig, I don't know which form is the better way to say it, anyway... So, my work scale is basicaly 15 days working offshore and 15 days off, and this is the reason why I'll write only 15 essays. I've been working offshore since yesterday, my flight (a chopper) arrived at oil rig at 05:40 PM, give or take, so I just checked the schedules to know about the next day work's plan and took a little conversation with the team aboard to know if they're having some kind of problems, but nothing different of the usual has happened last days, and it's all for now. I'll try to rewrite these essays with the corrections made by you, i'm trying to improve my english skills i've been studing english by myself and taking some informar conversations with professors from italki =) Thanks

#1 - First Essay of this 15 days project

 I decided to write an essay everyday for 15 days to pratice my english, without any type of translator.
You might be wondering why I chose just 15 days. I work on an oil rig (Petroleum platform), and my work scale is basicaly 15 days working offshore and 15 days off, and thats why I'll write only 15 essays.

I've been working offshore since yesterday, my flight (a chopper) arrived at the oil rig at 05:40 PM, give or take, so I just checked the schedules to know about the next day’s work plan and had a little meeting with the team aboard to know if they're having some kind of problems, but nothing unusual has been happening. That’s all for now.

#1 - First Essay of this 15 days project

Well, at first, I decided to write an essay a day for 15 days to practice my English, without any type of translator.
You might be wondering why I chose 15 days, so I'll explain. I work aboard an oil rig (petroleum platform), or aboard and oil rig, I don't know which form is the better way to say it, anyway... So, my work scale is basically 15 days working offshore and 15 days time off, and this is the reason why I'll write only 15 essays.

I've been working offshore since yesterday.  My flight (a chopper) arrived at the oil rig at 05:40 PM, give or take, so I just checked the schedules to know about the next day work's plan and had a little conversation with the team aboard to know if they're having any kind of problems, but nothing out of the usual has happened in the past few last days. That's all for now.

I'll try to rewrite these essays with the corrections made by you. I'm trying to improve my English skills. I've been studying English by myself and having some informal conversations with professors from italki.


Nicely done, Julio. 

All languages, in English, are capitalized. The same goes for the first person singular pronoun "I."

Also, I've shortened your sentences in a few places. If you want to include multiple statements in a sentence, you have to connect them with a conjunction (and, but, or, because ...). It's often better, for ease of reading, to just write shorter sentences. 




Thanks
