I am interested in Arabic culture and the near east and would love to travel there- not yet a wise thing for a white male Brit. Since 1980 I have lived in the same house in a small village of 55 people in the Scottish countryside and love to meet and know people from different backgrounds

    my journey to Scotland

    last week I was in Scotland, which is very beautiful , I visited Edinburgh and Inverness .
    my friend and I arrived in Edinburgh by  plane, after that we took the bus to the city centre, we stayed in Edinburgh for one night, and the next morning we started for inverness by train.
    the trip with the train was very beautiful , we saw the highland landscape .
    We arrived in inverness at 3.00 pm , and we went to the bad (hope not) bed and breakfast the "Jacobite rose", it is a traditional cottage and the owner is very kind.
    The next day we visited  loch Ness and a castle.
    the next morning we took the train and returned in Edinburgh , over the next two days we visited the city.
    We visited the castle, which is very old , and there were a lot of buildings built in different ages, and there is display the royal Scottish treasury.
    I fell in love with this city and I hope to come back soon.

    Conclusion of Help! I'm trapped in a vampire's body.

    Could you correct this? :)
    Help! I am trapped in a vampire body, is a humorous book. For people of all ages who like fantastic fiction. It is a good reading experience, because it is funny how Jake never thinks things through. The author allowed with this book to give an enjoyable reading, to go out people of their daily routine, because we as human get worry for insignificant things. Which make our life stressed. The author pretends to convince to his readers, to take Jake and his friends as an example to how take life. So, he hopes that it causes his readers to make transformations in their own lives.

     

     Help!  I am trapped in a vampire is a humorous book for people of all ages who like  [fantasy] fiction. It is a good read because it is amusing ( funny might mean strange here) how Jake never thinks things through.

    [ The author created an enjoyable reading experience with this book that takes people out of their daily routine because we all, as humans, get worried about insignificant things---which makes our lives stressful. 

     (Sorry, I am not clear of your meaning  after this, for example 'take life' usually means to kill, but perhaps you mean ' take life on the chin', meaning to survive troubles bravely or perhaps how to live life]

    It's your time

    Once you wake up, you can hear the clock ticking. It's singing the latest song for you and counting down to your last day.

    Do you still remember your last birthday party? Do you remember how happy were you feeling? And, of course, you will never forget the cake. But, you have to realize that the cake you cut it every year doesn't have any sense of happiness. Just, recognize that it makes you closer to your death day.

    Waiting for corrections. Thanks in advance.

    line 4;  how happy you were feeling

    line 5; the cake you cut every year

    line  6: if you have invented a new phrase 'death day' in contrast to birthday, well done . How about deathday? A good new poetical addition to the language. 'the day of your death' is the more common phrase.

    Short sentences

    Words I'm trying to use them.

    misery(noun)/ His father was always talking with him about his misery.
    Jeeves helped his friend Wooster forgetting his past misery.
    It was a misery, sitting there while nobody cares about him.
    Hi Ahmed. This is good English, but not as a native speaker would write. Can I suggest;

    'His father was always talking to him about how miserable he was, and that misery was a selfish vice'

    Jeeves helped his master, Wooster, to forget his past misery.  nb Jeeves was Bertie Wooster's servant

    It is more common to use misery as an abstract noun and not apply the word to individuals.
    inspect(verb)/ I was inspecting the colorful portrait.
    He was inspecting his code carefully before testing it.
    She inspected their fingerprints.

    Again this is good English, but...to inspect is mostly used to do something official

    'The policeman inspected Johns driving licence'' The tax man inspected his business records''

    I know this is pedantic, but your English is good



    anxiously(adverb)/ They were waiting for their son anxiously.
    anxiously, the match start.
    He opened the letter and started reading it anxiously with his sharp voice.

    Question: What are your effective strategies in memorizing words?
