My vacations in Argentina

My last vacations were was in Argentina.  I traveled to Buenos Aires from Bogota, Colombia for 4 days so I could enjoy of this city, but my main plan was to go to a Paul McCartney concert.  The concert was a magical experience.  He played the best songs of The Beatles. In a magical night, Paul sang songs like "Let It Be", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", and "Something", among other classic songs.

Argentina was a fantastic experiences.  I could walked  for to Puerto Madero (or "I could walk to Puerto Madero"), this place it`s amazing place where there are fantastic restaurants with food amazing food, cafés and a special view to of the Plata river.  Another passion of the Argentinian people it`s the is soccer; Buenos Aires have has a lot of soccer teams of soccer, but the most biggest Argentina (Argentine or Argentinian) soccer clubs are Boca Juniors and River Plate.  I could visited its stadiums, "La Bombonera" (headquarters of Boca Juniors) and "El Monumental" (headquarters of River Plate).  this These stadiums are mythical and with have a lot of history.

Comments:


If it is one trip, use the singular "vacation" (it could be a few days, a few weeks or even months long).  You can say "vacations" if you made multiple trips...for example, "My last few vacations were to Argentina.  I traveled to Argentina in 2017, last summer and also at Christmastime."

Other options:  "Argentina was full of fantastic experiences."  "These stadiums are mythical because they have a lot of history."

I will try to return tomorrow to correct the last two paragraphs.   I think I am near the maximum number of characters that italki allows in a correction, since using colors and strikeouts "spends" a lot of extra characters.

Alejandro, there was one part that would have sounded fairly natural in conversation (where we can talk as a stream of consciousness, with one idea flowing to the next), but that needed to be changed or broken into smaller sentences when it was written down.  I am going to give you another option for how to write that part.

"Argentina was a fantastic experiences.  From my hotel,  I could walk to Puerto Madero.  That place -- it`s amazing!  There are fantastic restaurants with amazing food, cafés and a special view of the Plata river."

Buenos Aires have a has fantastic parks (or "has a fantastic park") and its architecture is very European, very similar to Paris or London, with beautiful buildings, squares and churches. It's a cosmopolitan city where people of from all over the world it meets in its cultural and popular places like "Caminito", "Plaza de Mayo" or "Obelisco".

For me, it was a fantastic experience. I hope to return soon and know (or "visit") other cities of this amazing country.

it's or its?  You need to add an apostrophe if you are combining the two words it is or it has to be the shorter word it's (It's a cosmopolitan city).   You were correct when you did not use an apostrophe when the word its was possessive  (Its architecture is very European.  People meet in its cultural and popular places.)."

Options:  "people from all over the world" or "people from the whole world".  "It was a fantastic experience for me" or "For me, it was a fantastic experience."
