Experience of travel


I have visited other countries since I was 19 years old, and in that year, I was studying in my university and I had a job which was a piano teacher. I used to teach piano for 4 years, so I earned enough money for my travelling.
When I was a girl, I wanted to see the sea, because where I lived they didn't have the sea, so when I was 19 years old, I went to Pattaya in Thailand. They had a beautiful beach.
In Thailand, everything was different for me. I ate different food, although, I didn't like it. I listened to a different language that I didn't understand. Everything was interesting. I just used a little bit of English to communicate with other people.
I enjoyed my first time going abroad.

  1. Good use of past tenses Bella, well done.
    This is really a description of a past event rather than your experiences in life so far. You could have talked about other types of experiences as well. Always look at the model I give you for ideas about what to do in the blog. It would be nice to see photographs as well.

    Some corrections:

    “I have visited other countries since I was 19 years old, and in that year, I was studying in my university and I had a job which was a piano teacher.”

    When we change from talking bout experience to a time in the past we usually start a new sentence.

    ‘have visited other countries since I was 19 years old. In that year, I was studying in my university and I had a job which was a piano teacher.

    “I had a job which was a piano teacher”

    With ‘job’ or ‘work’ you can use the preposition ‘as’+(NAME OF JOB)

    ‘I had a job which as a piano teacher’

    “I went to Pattaya in Thailand. They had a beautiful beach.”

    This is a good place to use ‘where’

    ‘I went to Pattaya in Thailand, where They had a beautiful beach.’
