Question

Bjr quelqu'un peut corriger mon texte svp


Dear Léo,
How are you ? I hope you are fine. I got home today from holiday. I went in Scotland best of a house swapping. If you don't know what it is, I will explain this for you : it's an economical way to vacation far from home. Two families agree to exchange their homes for a period of time for vacation. I wanted to go on holidays but I didn't have a lot of money so I remembered that my friend has tried the way « house swapping » last year and she was satisfied with it so I wanted to try too. The holidays lasted three weeks.

Organising a swap is a little bit complicated but the website www.homeexchange.com is easy to use ! You have to fill a form with your name, your call number, the size and the description of your house, the equipments, to write if you have a car and and if they are allowed to drive it, ... I didn't have a country on my mind, I only wanted that the house was abroad to discover another things, new people,... And I found a family of three members who wanted to come for their holidays in Belgium. I was lucky ! I contacted them and we spoke about our houses, the travel, the time of our vacation and of course, we chose our dates of the flights for the same day. It's important because we don't want to arrive and to find the other family still at home. I sent them a letter with the number of my doctor, vet, hairdresser and said them to don't forget to water my plants and to feed my dog. They sent me a letter like this too. We took the plane the first November at ten o'clock.
When I arrived in the airport, I took the taxi from there which drove me to the house of the other family. They had a beautiful house situated in the center of Scotland. In front of the house, there was a bakery and a lot of others houses but there wasn't lots of cars which drove on the road. It was pretty quiet. Of course, the house was very clean. There was two floors. On the first floor there were a big living room, a kitchen and a bathroom ; on the second floor there were three bedrooms and one bathroom. The garden was huge, there was a swimming pool so I swam every day. There also was a balkon and from there I had a beautiful view : there was a beach not so far from the house.
