last week I went to the hiking trip and something happened. I slown down because of my foolishness. Mentre I was going along the road, i was writing the message to my friend on phone... I didn't notice the hole! Before my friend had warned me! So, I has twisted my leg. Although I haven't yet recovered fully, I fell much better!

Here you go: Last week I went ON A hiking trip and something happened. I MADE A MISTAKE because I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION. WHILE I was WALKING along the road, I was writing A message to my friend on THE phone... AND... I didn't notice A hole UNTIL AFTER I STEPPED INTO IT (?) So, I TWISTED my (ANKLE?--YOU CAN'T REALLY TWIST YOUR LEG IN ENGLISH BUT YOU COULD LIKE HURT YOUR KNEE, TWIST YOUR ANKLE, HURT YOUR FOOT, ETC>) . Although I haven't yet recovered fully, I ALREADY FEEL much better! Hope that helps and that you recover soon! --From, a teacher who broke a toe playing soccer last Monday, so I have sympathy for your predicament :)

I'm assuming you'd like some help with the English here (I'm glad you're OK too!) Last week I went hiking/I went on a hiking trip and something happened. I was slowed down by my foolishness/mistake/blunder. While I was going along the trail, I was writing a message to my friend on my phone... I didn't notice the hole before my friend warned me! So, I've twisted my leg/I twisted my leg. Although I haven't fully recovered yet, I feel much better! Notice a few things: - I changed definite (the) to indefinite articles (a). This is a big topic but worth talking about! - we go ON trips, not TO them - if this was only one day of hiking, it isn't a trip. It's just hiking: I went hiking. - I have, not I has. - "phone" is a singular, countable noun. Therefore it needs a determiner (an article, a possessive pronoun, a demonstrative pronoun, etc.) - I'm not sure what "mentre" is. Is that Italian? I think you meant "while" or "as." - "I haven't fully recovered yet" is just a stylistic choice on my side. To me (I'm Canadian) this sounds better. This is not a grammar correction, though! I hope that helps, and feel better!
