Trial - What I did today
This is my first notebook entry. I am new to italki and I hope it can help improve my English. I am particularly weak at writing and speaking. That's why I am trying to write something here. Sadly, I couldn't really think of what to write... You probably can see it from my text. Maybe I can tell you about what I did today. I did volunteer work today. My duty was simple - helped the tour guide to finish her tour smoothly. The tour was about introducing the history of a country park and some common plants that one can see in the park. The whole tour was relaxing and I enjoyed it so much. The only bad thing was that the park was quite far away from my home, so I spent pretty much time in commuting.This is really good! It isn't weak at all. The only thing to correct is the last sentence: "so I spent quite a lot of time getting there."
"To commute" is generally used to talk about going to and from one's regular place of work, rather than any other place or for any other activity, so in this case you would need to say something like "getting there" or "travelling" or even "in the car" or "on public transport."
"Pretty much" is used to mean "almost." For example, "I'm pretty much finished." Or "the work is pretty much done." So you can't use it here - you can't say "pretty much time." So, you need to change it to something like "quite a lot of." Just so you know, "pretty much" is used only informally. It's fine in a notebook or diary but you wouldn't use it in any more formal piece of writing.
