For all English speakers, please correct & grade this?

Question

I'm in eight grade, not a native English speaker. How can I make this better? And please grade it from A to E. :)

Thailand is located in the center of Mainland South East Asia. If you're looking for a great, inexpensive vacation trip, then Thailand is most definitely the best option for you. The culture in Thailand began thousands of years ago. Up until this day there are many fascinating temples, statues and monuments.

The capital is called Bangkok, it is the biggest city and it's located in the centre of Thailand. This is a great way to gather cultural facts and get in touch with your spiritual side, as there are a lot of Buddhist temples. Almost 95 % of all Thai people practice Buddhism.

If you love new exciting places outdoors, then you should visit the province - Krabi. It has got over hundreds of beach islands. The weather in July and August usually ranges between 21 degrees Celsius to 32 degrees Celsius, but it's quite rainy then. So it's best to know when to go when the temperature is on the warmer side and the rainy clouds are nowhere in sight.

It is best to visit Thailand between the months of November and March, as the monsoon seasons and hot temperatures are over. Between the months of November and March, the temperature is great, the water at the beach is clear blue, and the sands white. You could have a great time, play water sports and get a tan while you're at it!

Answer 1

Overall it is pretty good. You have all the spelling and most of the grammar down, but some of the sentences do not flow well. Most of my corrections had to do with sentence placement, and sentence structure. I have re-written it below:

Answer 3

Very good! You write very good English. I would suggest replacing "The capital is called Bangkok" to either "The capital is Bangkok" or "The capital, Bangkok, is the biggest city and is located in the center of Thailand." Otherwise, I'd give you an A-B!! =D



I would avoid using Wikipedia! And the answer below me has a comma splice: "The capital is called Bangkok, it is the biggest city and it is located in the center of Thailand." -> "The capital is called Bankok;...." or "The capital is called Bangkok:..."
