Good story! You only had a few minor errors. The rest were mainly words that are not used very often today (outdated) but I could easily understand everything you meant to say. I rewrote each of your sentences to give you an idea of how I would write it. I did not mean to take away any of the original meaning that you implied, but just to give you a general idea. The only other problem I noticed was when you begin a new sentence, you started a new sentence with "And" which you should not do.

I am from the United States so some of the words I used may be different than other English speaking people.


"It was a warm spring day. The 1st of May. Yes, it was the Labor day, the Day of Spring. Every year we have a parade in our city in honor of this day. A lot of organizations take part in this parade".

It was a warm spring day on the first of May. Today was Labor Day; the day of Spring. Every year we have a parade in our city in honor of this day. Many organizations take part in this parade.

Usually when writing, we combine short sentences that are related to each other and create a longer sentence to make the story "sound better" or more pleasant to read.


"My friends and I were students. And of course, we always have no enough money.
We decided to take part in the parade because some firms (businesses/companies) paid money to people who advertise their products. We joined to firm which produces (the word makes could also be used) pop-corn. One of staff gave us bright T-shirts and caps (Hat could also be used). One guy puts on a funny wig and a red nose. He had to go by (Ride) a bicycle with a big basket. That basket was full of pop-corn. And we had to go behind him and shout: "Eat pop-corn - It's a nice ton" (есть поп-корн – хороший тон)."

The word “and” is used to as a conjunction to connect sentences and is not used at the start of a sentence. It is also used like the Russian И.

My friends and I were students and of course, we never have enough money. We decided to take part in the parade because some businesses paid money to people who advertise their products. We joined a business which produces popcorn. One of the staff gave us bright T-shirts and caps. One guy put on a funny wig and a red nose. He had to ride a bicycle with a big basket full of popcorn. We had to go behind him and shout “eat popcorn”.

"Other people were shouting their funny or serious slogans. A voice from loudspeakers was over our heads: "A job for young people! A worthy future for our children!"...etc. And People were shouting "Hurray!" and laughing was everywhere. There were many balloons around (there were balloons everywhere would also work) - ballons like a huge bumblebee (from Beeline)*, balloons like large flowers; red, blue, green, yellow balloons."

Other people were shouting their funny or serious slogans. A voice from the loudspeakers came on over our heads “A job for young people! A worthy future for our children!” etc. People were shouting “Hurray!” and laughter was everywhere. There were many balloons around. Some balloons looked like huge bumblebees and others looked like large colorful* flowers.

*The spelling is different depending which country you live in.

"The column of people went on the main street - the Muravev-Amurskiy Street. It was a very long column. We were waiting 30 minutes after it starts to move when we could go. There were many townsmen* standing along* the street. They had fun."

*townsmen is not used very often (In the U.S. anyways).

*on is another commonly used word.

The line of people went on the main street (Muravev-Amurskiy Street). It was a very long line. We were waiting for 30 minutes before we could start moving again. There were many people standing on the street. They had fun.

"When people (were passing) a central square (of course it's called the Lenin square) they (launch) their balloons to the sky. And it was very beautiful when many bright balloons flew in the sky. People found some of this balloons on the other bank of the Amur a few days later".

When people passed Lenin square, they released their balloons into the sky. It was very beautiful when many brightly colored balloons flew in the sky. People found some of the balloons on the other bank of the Amur a few days later.

"After the parade we got money. All our 250 rubles to each. And then we went for a walk and spent all money including those that we have earned*".

After the parade, we each got 250 rubles and then we went for a walk spending all of our money.

*When you say you spent all of your money, it implies that you spent the money you just earned from working in the parade. So you do not have to say you did unless you really want to.
