    A holiday in my country is the Carnival, the largest popular party(festival) in Brazil. The party holiday/festival happens during the four days that precede Ash Wednesday).It doesn't have a specific date, but it usually happens in the month of February.

    Great work!  In English we don't use the word "party" for something like Carnival.  For someting that happens every year, we'd say "festival" or "holiday".

    Great job!  Your English is really good.

    very good

    I think "festival" is a better word than 'party' here.

Tips for Good Reviews:

Be Specific
  • Give useful suggestions and examples.
  • Write more than just brief comments like “Good job” or “Needs work".
Make Corrections
  • Use the editing features to apply strikethrough, bold or different font colors.
  • Use the virtual keyboard to insert special characters in your reviews.
Teach by Example
  • Review a speaking exercise by recording your own audio comment.
  • Focus on correct pronunciation and speaking patterns.
