WOW… to talk about my last school ! It goes back up in very for a long time. But this amuses me, thus go on cheerfully. My last school was Ste Marie, near Paris. Here I learnt nurse's profession and I was graduate in 1978. There was many nationality in this class. Many people came from Africa, from East of Europe and many were from Europe. But finally, I nerver exercise this profession which, psychologically is too hard. I turned to the economy and to the business .

Well done Mim. Just a few litle corrections.
WOW… to talk about my last school ! It goes back up a in very for a long time. But this amuses me, thus I go on cheerfully. My last school was Ste Sainte (or St.) Marie, near Paris. Here I learnt the nursing nurse's profession and I was a graduate in 1978. There was were many nationalityies in this class. Many people came from Africa, from East of Eastern Europe and many were from Europe. But finally, I nerver have neverexercised this profession which, psychologically is too hard. I turned to the economy and to the business (studies instead).
thank you My dear friend.
Hello Mim, this is very fluent and you use some vivid language, but some of your colloquialisms are a bit off.
"It goes back up in very for a long time" -> That's going back a very long way. (meaning '... in life's journey').
"..., thus go on cheerfully." I suggest "..., so let's go on cheerfully." or ", ... so here goes." which has a similar sense and is more common.
"There I studied nursing, and graduated in 1978." (Usually for a major subject at college, one says 'I studied physics' or 'I studied engineeering', or in the US one might say 'I majored in engineering'.) There were many nationalities in the class.
"East of Europe": It is usual to say "Eastern Europe".
"But finally, I never exercise this profession which, ..." -> But in the end I never practiced this profession, which ...". ('in the end' means 'as a final outcome'. Also, one practices a profession. Lastly, usually a comma is followed by a complete clause. Or perhaps you meant to say '... this profession which, psychologically, is too hard.' [note the second comma])
I hope this helps. Thank you for your help with my exercises.
Merci Alan35
Dear Mim,
Keep up the excellent work. I agree totally with Maureen's excellent commentary. However, here in the States, we say "learned" past tense of learn and not "learnt". Otherwise, I am in total agreement with Maureen's assessment.
A la prochaine, Jay
