    Two weeks ago I went to the beach with a friend of mine. He said me “Do you fancy a cheeky tour by boat?”. I was so chuffed for this idea and I said “Yes, of course!”

    We took a bloody beautiful tour by boat around the coast in the early evening. We paid 50 pound for the tour and also a tenner for grub. Grab was bollocks but the tour was the bee’s kneens.

    During the tour was possible to swam. I don’t like to swim in the deep sea, anyroad I did it!

    My friend take the piss of me about my fear of high seas and thus I jumped quickly on the sea but with my bloody expansive eyeglasses. When I realized it, I threw instinctively the glasses on the boat. I was so jummy because the glasses finished directly on the hand of friend of mine! He said “ Alright?” I said “Well, ta. This swim is the dog’s bollocks of my life”.

    After few minutes a dolphin went by me and my friend not seen him. He said me “You are pissed. It’s not true!”. Sometime he is absolutely cheeky but I was so chuffed for this experience that I said “You are two sandwiches short of a pic nic, you need my eyeglasses”.

    Morning @MariLu

    This is ‘bloody’ brilliant! I’m not joking, I’m over the moon to see how much progress you are making! This could almost be from a mother tongue! I hope you enjoyed writing it.

    Below you’ll find the tweaks you need to need to make.

    In the last paragraph, can you fix the error that I circled?
