Hi Teacher!

I wrote this diary just now. I don't know whether this is correct.

Can anyone correct it for me ?

Great Thanks in Advance.

7th July 2010 Driving Lessons

This afternoon, I went to driving centre to practise driving cars. In the car, the teacher kept scolding me for every mistake. I felt very angry. It seemed that his mouth was born to scold others.

After practising driving cars, I practised driving motorcycle. I felt very happy, as it was raining. I signed at three o’clock and five o’clock. Therefore, I would be recorded as having practised for two hours. Even I was taking shelter from rain in a hut and not driving motorcycle.

God Bless You.

Thanks a lot!

Can you tell me the reason of adding the word "actually"?

In my opinion, the word "actually" is to make the meaning of the sentence more accurately.

However, I wasn't wrong for forgetting to put it.

Am I right?

Can anyone give some ideas on it?

Great Thanks in Advance.

Lucus, yes, you are right. It is not necessary but makes the sentence read more naturally.
