ok, let me try this in western font.

quote:
и поездка изучительный опыт в одщем и целом

is incorrect and sounds unnatural. replace with
quote:
,eta poezdka bila obogochayuchem (enriching) opitom


don't forget the ' , ' before this part of the sentence.

quote:
Я сгораю от нетерпения ехать в Россию ещё раз!

would better be
quote:
Ja s neterpeniyem jdu moyey (my) sleduchei (next) poyezdki (trip) v Rossiyu.


quote:
Здесь в Англии я равотаю в заводе

should be replaced with:
quote:
Zdes v Angliye ya rabotayu na zavode

on a factory, not in a factory, is the way to say it in Russian.


quote:
очень скучно но мне надо деньги на моя университетская жизнь.


would better be
quote:
eto ochen skuchno no mne nujni dengi (that's how you say that you need something which is plural) na moyu universitetskuyu jizn.

as you see you put an inclination into the whole last part of the sentence. Only 'jizn' remains the same.

quote:
после них собственный отпуск в Шотландии

is better said as
quote:
posle ih (Without the N!) sobstvenogo (you're write a russian 'g' as the letter before the last one, while it's pronounced as a 'v') otpuska v Shotlanidii



quote:
но мой брат работает всё лета в Юрке.


amusingly enough, what you've just said can be interpreted as if your brother was paid for ****ging a guy named Yurka ( a shortened Yuri) the entire summer. But I am just sick. In any case, what you should've written this ( if your brother works in York, as I've understood. ):

quote:
No moy brat rabotayet vsyo leto v yorke



quote:
Погода очень хорошо и жарко в Англии в течение этово лета – на самом деле лучше, чем когда-либо!


is ( I've restructured the sentence a bit, to express that it's hotter than ever this summer in England, not that the weather is better than ever. )

quote:
pogoda ochen horosha, i v angliye v techeniye etoGo (note the g instead of the v! ) ochen jarko, na samom dele jarche chem kogda libo


quote:
В первую неделю сентября я уезжу в Дувай, в Объединённых арабских эмиратах в Ближпом Востоке с друзьями – там даже жарке!


is either
quote:
V pervuyu nedelyu sentyabrya ya uyezjayu v duBai v obyedinyenih arabskih emiratah NA blijnem vostoke s druzyami - tam daje jarche ( Not 'ke' but 'che' in the and as in chech republic


or

quote:
V pervuyu nedelyu sentyabrya ya uyedu v duBai v obyedinyenih arabskih emiratah NA blijnem vostoke s druzyami - tam daje jarche ( Not 'ke' but 'che' in the and as in chech republic


the difference being "I'll be leaving" in the first one and "I will leave" in the 2nd.


Cheers.

Cool

Thanks mate!

I've put a new version at http://www.civgaming.net/forums/sho...80909#post80909 - could you just give it one final spellcheck just to make sure I haven't done any typos...

Rather decent Russian, congrats! I tried to correct grammar a little bit, as well as to introduce some minor stylistic modifications.

Уважаемая Альбина!

Благодарю вас за всё, я очень ценю ваше гостеприимство – мы приятно провели с вами время, и эта поездка была для меня исключительно полезным опытом. Я с нетерпением ожидаю моей следующей поездки в Россию!

Здесь в Англии я работаю на заводе – зто очень скучно, но мне нужны деньги на учебу в университете. Мои родители уже дома после их собственного отпуска в Шотландии, но мой брат проработал всё лето в Йорке. Погода очень хорошая, и в Англии при этом очень жарко, на самом деле жарче, чем когда-либо! В первую неделю сентября я уеду с друзьями на Ближний Восток, в Дубай (Объединённые Арабские Эмираты) – там даже жарче!

Надеюсь, что у вас все здорово и всё в порядке на даче.

Спасибо еще раз.

С уважением,
Крис
