    Hello, dear friends !

    Here's EXPRESSION N°1: Please help, indicating possible mistakes and underlining what looks clumsy...

    I have always dreamed of flying like a bird, and in my craziest dreams I saw myself gliding over the mountains.So, you can imagine my happiness,when for my 50th birthday, my friends decided to offer me a flight in para glider.
    Of course, it was an accompanied flight in tandem with an instructor.
    After a long climb, on foot, to "the Arpette"mountain pasture, where Serge the shepherd kept his folk,we took off and glided for half an hour.
    What a magical flight!
    What a feeling of calm and freedom I felt, while admiring these magnificent landscapes! As free as birds , we flew over the Tarentaise valley, which I know well from my hikes. Half way down I could see the picturesque village of Montchavin whose chalets looked tiny from above.
    But all things come to an end, and we landed in the meadows near Macot.
    That was many years ago, but the images and memories are with me for a long time.160words


    a lot for your help!

    My best memory is an event that happened on a beautiful spring day 8 years ago. My partner and I embarked in Buenos Aires on a boat for a 22- days- cruise on the Atlantic Ocean.
    After a 5 -days- voyage and two stopovers, we arrived in Rio de Janiero. We got off the boat to do a tour of the city. We had climbed until the top of the rock of Cristo Redentor's statue and here my partner took out a box from his pocket and knelt down in front of me. When the box was opened, a diamond appeared.
    In front this panoramic view of the most beautiful bay of the world, mon partner ask me:

    Hello, dear writers and readers,

    EXPRESSION N°3: please help, indicating possible mistakes and underlining what looks clumsy...

    I always smile when I remember the good times I used to have with my dog.
    He was hardly three months old when my parents bought him. The first night, he felt alone, he was whining. He didn't want to sleep in his dog basket: we had to let him sleep in my bedroom. He was so attached to us that we could never leave the house without his crying and baying.
    I loved playing with him, throwing a tennis ball and seeing him run after it (and keep it for a while before he finally agreed to drop it...)
    Whenever we sang, he sang along (or so it seemed...)
    He was used to playing with his rug, taking it in his mouth and shaking it. He would never let us take his rug out of his mouth! He would also play with our slippers....
    He loved chewing pressed dog bones: he would start growling and baring his teeth whenever we seemed to approach a hand to take his bone. So one day, I imitated him: before giving him a new bone, I (almost) took it in my mouth, I crouched and jealously kept the bone vertically between my hands on the floor; I pretended to chew it and growled when he came closer. He didn't dare to grab it!
    Of course, not all my best memories involve my dog but I wanted to share this part of my happiness with you.
    (244 W)

    Thanks for your help!

    As you can see, this EXPRESSION has not respected the limited number of words... The author is "a repeat offender"! Therefore, I have decided to give him a "punishment" or let's say "forfeits"... He'll have the choice between "flogging OR tarring and feathering"... explaining the two punishments to you in 150 words MAXIMUM! Let it be! (in no hurry...) As I'm very cool as a torturer, everybody can help doing the "research" (not before the Follow up Work, to keep everything clear! please !)

    Hello!

    Tarring and feathering is a public punishment where the victim is stripped naked (or stripped to the waist) and poured (or painted) wood tar and thrown feathers on.

    Flogging is a punishment where the victim is beaten with a whip like a cat o' nine tails for example.

    Hello!

    Quite unexpected! Maxwell seems to like punishments... , which doesn't allow him to write more words than the required number ( + or - 10% ) next time!

    Edit: 07/02 : 00h25. I know Max also likes answers to his questions (and he asks many... , some of which are so "personal" that they are difficult to answer... ), but as this will be the addition to the correction of the correction of your corrected tries, it will take me a little time to answer... just because (sorry! ) I have a lot on my plate just now and do all that I can do, when I can do it. Be patient!

    Hello!
    As Maxwell wrote :"Tarring and feathering is a public punishment where the victim is stripped naked (or stripped to the waist)" and coated with tar and feathers.
    This torture first appeared in the reign of Richard 1st of England, continued through the centuries, and was exported to the United States.The last use was in 2007 in Ireland!
    Wilkipedia gives very precise information about this barbaric torture .
    Flogging was a punishment administered whith a whip. A lot of countries have abolished it but it is still used in some parts of the world. 93 words

    J'ai remis les espaces aux bons endroits
    (1) c'était correct mais dreamt est britannique [I like it better, too… but dreamed isn’t a mistake here !]
    (2) les montagnes en général et non certaines montagnes en particulier => pas de the ; [Pas d’accord … l’auteur a bien pu penser à ces montagnes précises, parcourues et si bien connues …je laisserais le « the »]
    (3) en un seul mot [oui]
    (4) je pense qu'il s'agit de l'intention de l'auteur vu les indices (pasture, shepherd au sens de berger et non de pasteur) [It sure is !]
    Both herd and flock are used of animals (and usually farm animals) that are domesticated and kept under the care of a person. In this particular use, herd tends to be used of cattle or other bovine animals, and flock tends to be used of sheep and goats.
    (5) après une virgule, le lecteur [s’il a de très bonnes connaissances de l’anglais… ] a tendance à traduire which par 'ce que /ce qui'. Sans la virgule, le lecteur traduira spontanément par 'que/qui', ce qui est le cas ici.[Très bien vu... J'avais laissé passer !

    You got it,Maxwell.It was the shepherd who kept his flock in the pastures. There is a lovely book about him "The shepherd who skied"

    - Une petite précision : [The sheep are kept in a pen. - If not, the shepherd watches his flock/ holds his sheep together/ looks after/ takes care of/ guards his flock/ ]
    * Je ne comprends pas cette dernière phrase ... J'y vois une faute de temps , ou alors je n'y comprends rien - ce qui est possible ! Telle qu'elle est, il faudrait revoir la construction ...

    - A stopover : UK en deux mots : a stop-over
    - OK pour le verbe "board", mais pas pour le temps ... (la précipitation de la fin du texte est déjà annoncée ! )
    - Christo Redentor/ Christ the Redeemer
    - Un écrin : a case/ a box/ a jewellery case/ jewellery box/

    Boat ? or ship ?
    "Among sailing vessels, the distinction between ships and boats is that a ship is a square-rigged craft with at least three masts, and a boat isn't. With regard to motorized craft, a ship is a large vessel intended for oceangoing or at least deep-water transport, and a boat is anything else."

    EXPRESSION N°3: initial text and preliminary indications:

    I always smile when I remember the good times I used to have with my dog.(If I understand well, that poor dog’s dead… ?)
    He was hardly three months old when my parents bought him. The first night, he felt alone, he was whining. He didn't want to sleep in his dog basket: we had to let [Ha ha ha!] [Dog power! ] him sleep in my bedroom. He was so attached to us that we could never leave the house without his crying and baying.
    I loved playing with him, throwing a tennis ball and seeing him run after it (and keep it for a while before he finally agreed to drop it...)
    Whenever we sang, he sang along (or so it seemed...)
    He was used to playing with his rug, taking it in his mouth and shaking it. He would never let us take his rug out of his mouth! He would also play with our slippers....
    He loved chewing (pressed dog bones ???*: he would start growling and baring his teeth whenever we seemed to approach a hand to take his bone. So one day, I imitated him: before giving him a new bone, I (almost) took it in my mouth, I crouched and jealously kept the bone vertically between my hands on the floor; I pretended to chew it and growled when he came closer. He didn't dare to grab it!
    Of course, not all my best memories involve my dog but I wanted to share this part of my happiness with you. Long, but very good! cette EXPRESSION est TB. Bravo.
    (244 W) * I had no preliminary knowledge of "pressed bones" ... I know what they are now!

    - Revoir la différence entre alone et lonely :
    - Didn’t know what pressed bones are… I’ve never had a dog!
    J’aurais essayé de faire sentir que j’étais bien content qu’il refuse de dormir en dehors de la chambre de l’enfant (la mienne… que je l’avais peut-être encouragé un peu … et que les parents avaient bien compris …)
    - pour ce qui est de chew: j'ai bien cherché et trouvé les deux formes employées de façon consécutive dans le même article ... donc, chew bones / chew on bones.
    - de même crouch contient déjà le mouvement de descente Lien internet
    et crouch/ crouch down s'emploient tous deux.
    Cambridge dictionary: crouch
    verb [ I ]
    UK /kraʊtʃ/ US /kraʊtʃ/

    to bend your knees and lower yourself so that you are close to the ground and leaning forward slightly:
    She saw him coming and crouched (down) behind a bush.
    ceci est différent de sit/ stand/ lie/ qui impliquent une position alors que sit/ down/ up, stand up, lie down indiquent un mouvement.

    I have always dreamt of flying like a bird, and in my craziest dreams I saw myself gliding over the mountains. So you can imagine my happiness when for my 50th birthday, my friends decided to offer me a (paraglider flight. Of course, it was an accompanied flight in tandem with an instructor.
    After a long climb, on foot, to "the Arpette" mountain pasture where Serge the shepherd kept his flock, we took off (1) and glided for half an hour.
    What a magical flight!
    What a feeling of calm and freedom I felt, while admiring these magnificent landscapes! As free as birds, we flew over the Tarentaise valley which I know well from my hikes. Half way down, I could see the picturesque village of Montchavin whose chalets looked tiny from above.
    But all things come to an end, and we landed in the meadows near Macot.
    That was many years ago, but (I'll keep the images and memories for a long time.

    (1) J'ai vu que tu avais souligné "took off". Je n'ai pas compris ce qui ne va pas.
