a problem in the past
Last weekend i had to see my friends in the centre of the city, so i decided to try a new path but the subway in that path was very slow and i arrived very late. I should have taken the old path.

The last day off I had was three weeks ago.
Basically, we didn’t plan it and honestly I wanted to stay at home but my friend called me and she said to me – “For goodness sake why are you staying at home like an old aged woman? Let’s go to the museum!”. And I thought, as a matter of fact, it was good idea. Basically, I wanted it myself. I asked her where we could meet and she offered me to meet me at the café.
However, it was easier said than done. Because The traffic was very heavy in the subway, so there were was a dreadfully many number of people. It was not easy to get to the place. Finally, when I reached the café, I was happy that I met my friend.
We took the our ice creams and went to the museum.Good work! Great writing! The following is an example of how to reword this piece of writing to sound a little more natural:
