Among all the valuable learning experiences I have had in recent years, few have left such a significant impact on both my mindset and daily life as the volunteering program in southern Portugal that I participated in during August 2016. For two weeks, along with about twenty other girls and boys from all over Europe, we all lived in a charming farmhouse on the Algarve coast, and learnt about permaculture, reforestation, and how to take care of the natural spaces surrounding us. Hi Beatrice. Great job! You have a good command of the English language, and your post was grammatically sound, but it just seemed awkward (at least to me!) in the reading of it. I cannot say that my version is better, but I would say that it is “smoother,” and thus, more readable. Keep writing and keep posting. I hope that this helps you.
