- "Looking at my photo collection of sparrows, I was reminded of one of my favorite stories, about a boy who wanted to turn into a sparrow, mistakenly thinking that it is only people have to learn and work, and if he turned into something else-life would immediately become fun and interesting" Two little changes in the first and last line - interesting story!0 votedApril 10, 20180
Medical assistance in a foreign country
Nowadays we travel a lot. Of course we try to be cautious, but sometimes accidents happen. Sometimes even temporary indisposition or a sudden onset of some a more serious disease (or some more serious diseases - 'some' makes it plural) may make us seeking a doctor's advice. Did it happen to you? Can you share your story?
What are your experiences with foreign Health Care?
1. How did you find the health service you needed? Have Did *you called the emergency service (like the 112 number)? Or maybe you called your insurance agency hotline? Or asked local people? *(careful not to mix the tenses, the simple past works best here)
2. Have Were* you been insured? Was your national insurance accepted (because of some international regulations, like between EU countries)? Have Did you bought buy a private insurance in your country or in your travel destination? Did it cover the type of services you demanded?
3. Did you have to pay in cash or with card in place? Or has Did the insurance agency arranged everything for you? Or maybe it refunded your expenses later?
4. Have Did you experienced any other problems? Was the language communication with the foreign staff easy?Good work - a few errors here. Be careful when using different past tenses. The present perfect (e.g. Have you called the emergency services) in this case would be an action in the past affecting the present. 'Have you called the emergency services' would be correct if you were asking someone if they had called the emergency services before for a problem happening now. 'Did you call the emergency services?' would be correct here as you are asking about a completed action in the past.
Let me know if you would like some help revising the past tenses! Good luck!

I had many goals for last week. I didn't complete any of them, even though it was a phenomenal week.
You see, three family members who lived in Spain many years ago came to Ecuador, and the last week was their last week on in the country, so the whole week was full of family activities.
We visited the Quilotoa Lake Lake Quilotoa, a beautiful place that my cousin saw / found on the internet before coming to Ecuador.
They also visited the Middle of the World in Quito and Otavalo in the province of Imbabura. I couldn't go to those places because I had to work.
Anyway, we also prepared made a lot of typical Ecuadorian typical food [humitas, fritada, canelazo, etc [if you have the opportunity to try them, you should]] and spent many a lot of time talking about everything.
Now that I think about it, we spent most of the time cooking, eating and talking. But you know what? It was worth it.
When your family lives far away it's important to take full advantage of the time you have with them.Well done. Your English is very good. A few little mistakes but overall very nice. The tone of this is quite conversational, e.g. "now that I think about it" , "But you know what?" Usually we wouldn't use this language in written text unless it is for speech. But maybe this is the tone you wanted :)
Good Luck!
