I want my sentence look more natural
The question is why do you love swimming?
And here’s my answer:
I like how the water surround me like it gives me a warm hug, also I love the feeling of being light and free
Is it natural or it can be improved?? 🤔
Thank you in advance 🤗

Hi Yooyoo,
I think that is a good description, I would just like to correct a couple of grammar issues.
"I like how the water surrounds me like it's giving me a warm hug"
I would probably say "I like how the water surrounds me as if it were giving me a warm hug".
Also, just one more correction: "Is it natural or can it be improved?".
Good job though, keep practising :)

That's really nicely expressed. With two small changes, it's perfect:
"I like how the water surrounds me like a warm hug. I also love the feeling of being light and free."
Just for the sake of style, you might want to avoid having the two 'likes' in the first sentence.

Hi! It should be "how the water surrounds me" as water is in the third person singular :)
And I would change "like it gives me" to "as if it is giving me".

Hi Yooyoo,
I forgot to mention one more thing. You should say "I want my sentence to look more natural" in the title (remember to write "to").
