Illinois

Bhí mé in Elgin, Illinois inné. Chuaigh mé ar scoil. Is Judson College é. (I'm not sure how to state the name of a school.) Chonaic mé an leabharlann sean agus an leabharlann nua. Sol má an leabharlann, chonaic mé mo chara. Bhíomar ag caint ag a teach i bhfad. Chuamar chun cluife ar a seacht a chlog. Thóg mé mo chóta liom. Níl sé an-ghreann. Tháinig mé abhaile ar a haon déag a chlog. Ansin, d'itheamar eicínt bhia. Chuamar a chodladh ar a dó dhéag a chlog. Bhí sé fuar tráthnóna sin. Scríobh mé seo Déardaoin.

Chuamar ag siopadóireacht De hAoine ag siopa úll. Cheannaigh muid úlla, subh, agus císte. Bhí an siopa plódaithe. Chonaiceamar bó, muca, péire gabhair óga, agus capall ag an bhfeilm freisin. Bhí an toradh go maith. Sílim go mbeidh muid ag dul ar ais. Is maith liom é. Bhí úlla fairsing acu. Ní raibh muid ann i bhfad. Bhí sé deacair a bheidh ansin toisc go bhfuil an dreamanna. Ansin, d'itheamar dinnéar. Idir dinnéar agus ag siopadóireacht, chonaic mé mo aintín Ruth. Tá sí ina cónaí in Illinois. Bhí muid ag caint aon uair ar fad. Maidir leis an dinnéar, bhí sé go hiontach.



I was in Elgin, Illinois yesterday. I went to school. It is Judson College. I saw the old library and the new library. Before the library, I saw my friend. We were talking at her house a long time. We went to a game at seven o'clock. I took my coat with me. It was not very fun. I came home at eleven o'clock. Then, we ate some food. We went to sleep at twelve o'clock. It was cold that evening. I wrote this on Thursday.

We went shopping Friday at an apple store. We bought apples, jam, and cake. The shop was crowded. We saw a cow, pigs, a pair of young goats, and a horse at the farm also. The produce was good. I think that we will be going back again. I like it. They had plenty of apples. We were not there long. It was hard to be there because of the crowds. Then, we ate dinner. Between dinner and shopping, I saw my aunt Ruth. She lives in Illinois. We were talking an hour altogether. As far as dinner, it was wonderful.

You are making lots of mistakes. Good! But keep learning. Grammar considerations will come with time. As for vocabulary, look up words in both directions (when you find an Irish word, look up the Irish word to make sure it really is the English meaning you intend). You can also Google it for usage, which would probably help your grammar a lot.

Beir bua!

I hate making mistakes! Do you have time to tell me a few of them? I appreciate your feedback. I thought I was following the same grammar patterns that were in my books.
