The 4th of July Mrs.Kristi

The Independence Day in United States
Independence Day is annually celebrated on July 4 and is often known as “The Fourth of July”. It is anniversary of the publication of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain in 1776.
Patriotic displays and family events are organized throughout the United States. Many people display the American flag on their homes.
The celebrations have deep roots in the American tradition of political freedom.
My experience with this holiday is almost the same with that of all American people. It is a day of family celebration going to picnic and cooking the food in barbecue and associated with watermelon soda and why not beer for the ones don’t drive. Actually I was with my family and our cousins in a Park, where in front of us lies a Lake. Around us there were lot of people who were celebrating this day like we did. This means that on this day very few people have to work. We altogether escaped the heat during that day swimming into the Lake. Whereas, at evening we went to the Central Park of the our City and attended a concert accompanied by patriotic music and country music too. After that, we enjoyed fireworks that were arranged by community.
Independence Day or Fourth of July is a federal patriotic holiday for celebrating the positive aspects of the United States. All people on this day express and give thanks for the freedom and liberty in honor of the first generation that fought for all of today’s Americans.

  1. Hi Edmund!
    How are you? I am doing well. You did a nice job on this. But, here is what I would fix:

    1.) Capitalization--4th of July and Dec. of Independance.

    2.) 'ing' with your verb in paragraph 2. What do you do with food--use the continuous. And, you forgot 'to' (going to a picnic) Also, use the 'ing' in that paragraph when you describe 'celebrate' You want to say, "All around us there were a lot of people who were celebrating this day like we did. You want to use the 'ing' here because you are writing as if you were standing there and looking around--then reporting what you saw. Don't be confused here because you still want to keep the 'ed' on escaped in the following sentence. Fix 'cook' and 'celebrate' to the ing form and then read it. I think you'll like it better.

    In your last paragraph, place a period after United States. Make that next part a new sentence.

    13/15 on this. Overall, nicely done.

    :-) Kristi
