I regret to tell you that it's not time for Molly to pack her suitcase yet because you've made 3 mistakes.

If you want to go to Thailand, help your faithful friend and correct them.

 

Good luck!

Much better!

But No 9 is still wrong. English people say "as hungry as a hunter"

For example: "Molly Malone is a great eater but she's always as hungry as a hunter."

 

Enjoy your trip to Thailand but beware of the flood!

When are you going there? Let me know.I must book the tickets and the room in the best hotel beforehand.
