    URGENT A short story.( A homework from my teacher ,I have to hand it in it this evening)

    Isaac (?) was swinging on the front gate, trying to decide whether to walk down the street to play with Verna, her(?)his best friend in fifth grade, when she (?) saw a tramp come up the road. “Hello, little girl (?),” he said, “Is your mama at home?” 
    He had an odd-looking appearance, with an scrawny figure, long disheveled hair that touched his stooping shoulders, and flecks of gray in his beard . His face was dusty, his coat was muddy and torn, his toes were almost showing through some holes in his worn-out straw sandals(?). It seemed that he been suffering from hunger and poverty for a long time.
    Issac stared at the tramp for a moment, then opened the door to let him in. When Issac’s mother went out of the house, she recognized the tramp whom she met last week near the doorway of their home. She remembered giving him some food at that time.
    “Lady, could you give me something to eat?”He asked.
    “All right. Please wait for a moment.”
    The man sat down(?) by the gate slowly, his head held stiffly, his eyes staring blankly into the distance. After a little while, Isaac's Mama came out of the kitchen and handed him some bread and a big meat pie with generous chunks of pork.She also gave him a tin cup of milk.
    "I thank you, Lady,"he said.
    He gobbled down the food and drained the cup. Then he stood and left through the gate.
    "Sir, where are you going?"Isaac asked naturally.
    "I dunno, just down the street, keeping on going and maybe someday find a home and settle down,"he leant back on the gate and took a heavy sigh, then gave her a hopeful smile.His eyes were deep, honest, and infinitely luminous. Isaac was inexplicably moved from the inside.
    Outside it was only twilight ---a lovely yellowish-green twilight with a clear-blue cloudless sky; the air was full of the sweet summer sounds - sleeping birds twittering, freakish(?) breezes, far-away voices and laughter.......

    Really well-written - only a few minor errors! Well done! I hope this helps!

    (?) Isaac is traditionally a boy's name.

    (?) Sandals implies open-toed shoes. Better to use "shoes"/"boots"/"sneakers" here

    (?) - The adverb "slowly" needs to be a movement e.g. sit down slowly. I don't think you can sit slowly as that would imply being in the seated position which is stationary. At least sitting down slowly is more clear.

    (?) why are the breezes freakish? It's not a natural adjective for a breeze unless there is something specific you are trying to say about the breeze.

    日本の祭りについて 昨日、日本語の授業で日本の祭りについて習いました。時間が限られてたので、残念ながらお正月と節分とひな祭りについてしか話せませんでした。イギリスに育ったので、両親は日本人ものの、日本の祭りを家出しませんでした。日本の祭りは1つづつ習慣に意味があるもの、習うのが複雑なところもあると思います! ("〜ものの”と”〜もの”の使い方を練習しています。使い方は間違っていますか?よろしくお願いします。)

    ネーティブに聞こえるように治してください!ありがとうございま〜す。 日本について7週間たちます。日本語と日本の文化のことを学びたいと思います。特に、日本語の読み書きを上手になりたいと思います。 日本のマナーは、日本で育ってない方にはとても難しいと思います。正式に何かをやっているか、もしかしたら失礼に見えるか、いつも心配しています。本とかネットで確認することもできません!日本人は包容的ですから余計にきんちょうします。いつも言葉とマナーの間違いを指摘されるのもつらいですが、言われないと習いません! これからよろしくお願いします!
