Mariana Fonseca's submission: Average Rating:
In my last vacation I went to Honey Island which is in the South of Brazil. It's a small Island and very beautiful place, where there are a lot of nature, it looks like a jungle. There are no cars over there. So you need to take a boat to get there, also it is not very costy. I was located in a small chalet, but very confortable. I went with my boy friend and we did a lot of things. For example if you would like to visit there, you can go for a walk on a track, following a map which they give to the people when you get to the Island. Moreover you can visit the military Fort, which is no longer used anymore. Even that, there are maybe 2 beatches, and many nice restaurants where you can find different types of food including the local food and a lots of types of fish. Honey Island is a very nice place to go with friends or with a partner. Many people from Europe when comes to Paraná use to visit there. It is a very tourist place so is easier to find an accommodation where they owners and employees speak English

    2. but very comfortable

    3. boyfriend is one word

    4. are maybe 2 beaches

    You wrote quite well....but always remember writing is like music. it has a nice tune, nice flow....so use short sentences, and write like a tune....consistent approach in writing.

    Very nicely done, Mariana.
