Réponse :

I will talk in my blog about my trips around the world. I have visited many countries and this week I am going to speak about my journey in the USA.

I went to the USA last year with a friend of mine. Our plane landed in New York an we spent a week there.

It was fantastic, the city is so big that we were not able to visit everything we wanted to. But we went to Cental Park and visited the museums in the park. Then, we climbed at the top of the Statue of liberty and admired the beautiful landscape. the sight was breathètaking.

We have also seen Ground Zero and the Empire state building.  The skycrapers gave us the impression of being real tiny.

We have never been before to the USA and we really enjoyed New york because this city never rests. There are people everywhere and a lot of activities to do. What we prefer was the visit of Elis Island, the place where all immigrants arrived centuries ago.

After New York we took a plane to Los Angeles. I will talk to you about it next week.

Un exemple parmi tant d'autres. tu as besoin du prétérit (pour parler des choses que tu as fait dans le passé et qui n'ont plus de liens avec le présent :  I went to the USA.) et du present perfect (pour parler des choses que tu as faites au cours de ta vie : we have never been there before.)
