    Post Help-article

    Iīd like to ask if you can correct my article, please.
    Thanks in advance

    Experience thrilling journey
    Have you ever yearned after visiting any amazing part of the world which arenīt spoilted by tourists? Now, you have a fantastic opportunity to fullfil your dreams. Youīll only have to become volunteer of the organisation called International Conservati Volunteer as I did last year. Iīd like to show you my own experience so that youīll know what to expect before youīll take part in a three-month voluntary post.
    Firstly, I think it was one of the greatest adventure that I īve ever spent.. I worked as a teacher of mathematics and physics in a small town in Bostwana. When I arrived there I was so surprised that most of local people was trying to help me with almost everything that I needed. Thatīs why it wasnīt problem to find something to eat or drink for me. I stayed at a family house of a local teacher Tom and I was accepted like a real member of his family. It was useful because I could see their ordinary way of life and interesting african culture . My job took me about five hours a day but I really liked it, especially my classes. One of many things that I trully appreciate was a real interest of young students in various subjects that they learn. It was obvious that they enjoy it and study hard which isnīt so common in European schools. Moreover, I fancy helping to these lovely children who has to live in one of the poorest parts of the world. I hoped I could change their fate and theyīll have happy lives in the future. Maybe, it was only a dream but itīs worth a try.
    So do you seek meaning in your life? It surely is an alternative how you can fully spent your time being excited. Try it and youīll talk about nothing else all day. Trust me, itīs your great chance. Donīt hesitate and apply immediately !

    Hi Petr,
    I've made some corrections, but not being a native speaker I can't guarantee everything is perfect.
    Cheers
