Could you please check this essays for errors, if you have got plenty of time ? Thanks.
It was about three month ago that/when my younger sister and I planned to go on holiday by ourselves. It was Dubai that/when we decided to take a trip to, as we heard a lot of interesting things about it, and we hadn’t been there before, so there was also plenty to do. Besides, one of my cousins has lived there for 10 years, so she could show us around the city.
The reason I decided to take a vacation with my sister was that she is/was really fun to be with, and we share/shared similar interest, hobbies, and ideas together. In addition, she does/did crazy things that often make me laugh.
We booked a flight to Dubai, although my country’s air travel is not as safe as it should be at all, but traveling by air is one of the most convenient means of transportation.
As our flight landed, we took a taxi to our hotel where there was a cosmopolitan atmosphere, and the hotel staff were all really helpful and friendly. There was also plenty of shops and restaurant around it for both locals and visitors, and it was only 10-minute walk to an airport, to some night clubs, and to one of the most well-known shopping malls , which made/makes the hotel one of the best resort ones in the city.
We tried to make the most of our trip by doing much sightseeing, visiting beautiful water fountain show and some tourist attractions, having a look around some historical monuments and exploring street markets selling just about everything from apples to antiques.
What I like best/most about that city was that there was a good big mix of people with a wide variety of nationalities and cultures. Local residents were too friendly and spoke English quite well. The city was lively and vibrant. We were having a really lovely time there, and were trying to enjoy ourselves by going for some rides in a theme park , but the weather was so hot and humid that it sometimes irritated us. However, all areas and places were fully equipped with air conditioner, not including the streets! It would have been great if we could have stayed there for a long period of time.
Note that: In some parts of this essays I use both present and past time together and at the same time, because the present was and still is “fact” in my opinion, so I didn’t which tense was more suitable. I always have this problem when I wanted to talk about past events. I am not sure which tense should I use. Please help about it.
