I am looking for some practice speaking French and perhaps a teacher. My husband relocated to Montreal from Wisconsin at the beginning of the year and my daughter and I hope to join him up there at the end of the summer. I am originally from New Mexico and enjoy living new places. I think moving to Quebec will be a grand adventure!

    Since most of your story is about doing the activity with your friends, I would suggest that you not start the paragraph with “You start walking alone... “ It suggests that what is to follow will be about a solo journey.

    I changed a lot of your commas to periods.  It makes it much easier to read if you write shorter sentences.  With commas, I am trying to link everything together and I can’t stop to breathe. Periods give those breathing spaces. I had a teacher who said to read what you wrote aloud- if you had to pause to take a breath in the middle of your sentence, your sentence was probably too long (I got corrected on this alot because I like longer sentences. – Really that last sentence I wrote should be split after “aloud” and I should start a new one with “If”)

     

    It sounds like a wonderful trip!

    finally El-FIRT feast...........................................................

    After fasting for 27 days, there are only 3 days remaining  on until the feast. After this, there is no more fasting, but really I enjoyed this month. Even though I suffered a lot from thirst and hungery, but now I have recharged my heart with faith to go on. I was completely disappointed from for with everything around me: the politics, my family, even finding a job. 

    (see below)But after the feast, I will remember when all of my family having the dinner all it a rare thing in usual days to have all of them and going praying in masjd and listening to the holy Qur'an

    I rephrased this slightly. I hope I retained your meaning.

    But after the feast, I will remember that all of my family having dinner together is a rare thing on usual days, and praying in masjd and listening to the holy Qur'an.

     

    Enjoy your feast!

    A RIDE TO A GLACIER

    A mountain holiday can make you forget all of the hassles of work.
    The mountains holidays has this feature to make forget all hassles of this work
    You get up at 7 AM, you take a hearty breakfast, and afterwards your prepare your backpack with the spare extra clothes: T-shirt, Long pants, Polar Jacket? We call a 'veste polaire' a fleece jacket (I’m not sur of this definition: veste polaire en Français), a socks, a toothpaste tube and your tooth brush, a little soap, and a little towel.
    You must do use a headlamp (I’m not sure of this word).
    You must also take a specific type of shoes called “Cokes” on which you must put of spickes for when you will start to climb the ice in your backpack.
    You take an Ice ax in your backpack that helps you when you get on the ice,
    You don’t forget your camera to fix so you can make the landscapes unforgettable as you go through progress, the specifics animals, the meeting one day that you photograph in full effort ( En Français: Les rencontres d’un jour que tu photographieras en plein effort)  You make full effort to photograph the meetings of the day - I am unsure of your exact meaning.
    You must also have too the foods to eating during the climb toward your goal. I often take the cereals, dried fruits and fresh bacon that I eat when I got at get to my destination before starting the climb back down.
    It is very important don’t to not have a heavy backpack, if you don’t want to suffer during the climb to the refuge.

    "It is better to be defeated, in principle, than win on lies" - Arthur Calwell.

    2004 Olympic Games, gymnastics, Alexei Nemov ... Do you remember this event?

    He was a wonderful person, and, of course, a great athlete! When he took part in this competition, the judges have shown for gave a very low estimate score. All the fans thought that the scores were (here the verbs must agree with each other. Thought is in the past tense so to be must also - hence were not are) not correct. All of the Stadium howled! (Not only the Russian fans). Nemov was trying to reassure his fans ...
    There is injustice in the world, not just in sports. You can meet with injustice at work, at university, or on the street ... In other words, it is everywhere. It surrounds us everywhere.
    I do not know what you think about this problem. But I can not win the battle unfair. (I am unsure what you mean by this sentence. Perhaps - "I think it is unfair") I think that all people should have equal opportunities and work by the same rules as the other.
    Maybe it's silly, but if we compare the theory of Darwin (survival of the fittest), and purely human principles and views on life, it would appear that they contradict each other.If you think about it, then it is not clear how people should behave in the modern world.
    According to the theory of the great scientist, we are not obliged to help each other. But! On the other hand, a person has almost a spontaneous reflex ... If someone near you stumbles, your brain instantly reacts to it, and you pull put out your hand to help.
    You can compare the company with this behavior to animals or insects. For example, rats and ants. In the colony of rats, survival of the fittest, they do not know how to share, everyone pulls the blanket over himself. While the ants have the remarkable property that both trafilaks, they help each other.
    Well, let's not be like "rat"!
    Although, if everyone lived by the rules, it would be a bit boring. When you're hurt or you feel that someone has wronged you - smile. I think that makes a person better than injustice, pushing you to the accomplishment of great things, and the embodiment of all of your dreams! =)

     

    Good work! I think you offer excellent advice in your last paragraph.
