00Your senetnce is exactly what I meant. 02br
02br
00However I still don't where I was wrong. 02br
00Are both my sentences wrong, or the second one (with 'give the picture') is wrong, or maybe the second one has different meaning? 02br
02br
00Could you, please , explain it to me? 02br

0 Yogi - your first sentence sounds fine to me. The second sentence is understandable but sounds a little awkward - maybe "My explanation doesn't give a true picture of what I experienced" would sound a little better. 0-
