Me encanta el oeste. Please check before I memorize this extract.
I have to do a beast of an oral tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone could please help me check these before I start to memorize the following extract!
Me encanta el oeste. Mi viaje favorito fue mi viaje hacia el oeste. Yo fui con mi familia. Viajamos en avion, porque mi padre es un piloto y tenemos boletos baratos. He pasado muchas lugares, pero el oeste es mi favorito. Acampamos y damos una caminata en el Grand Canyon. Era hermoso e impresionante. Mi familia y yo montamos caballos, pero no me gusta mi caballo. Mi caballo era mal. Trato de comerme! Bueno, mi caballo no trato de comerme pero no me gusta. Nos fuimos al desierto pintado. Visitamos a mi tia y fuimos a Disneyland. Este es la razon por mi viaje favorito es el oeste.
this is only 1 of 8 paragraphs i have 2 have written and memorized, ugh! I have not put in accents, im mostly worried about conjugation. thanks!

I love western. My favourite one was a trip to the west side. My family and I went there. We went by plane because my father is a pilot and we could get cheaper tickets. I have traveled to many places but the wester side is my favourite. We camped there and went for a walk around the grand canyon. It was beautiful and awe-inspiring. My family and I rode horses but I did not like my horse. It was a bad horse. It tried to bite me. Well, it did not try to bite me but I did not like it. We went to painted desert. We visited my aunt and went to Disneiland. It is the reason why the wester trip is my favourite.
I am spanish, I have translate in order to practise my english, perhaps I have made some mistakes... As for your translation, I have notices some mistakes, mainly these ones:
-Mi caballo era mal......no, mi caballo era malo. -Este es la razon por mi viaje favorito es el oeste. no,... esta es la razón de que mi viaje favorite fuera en el oeste. -pero no me gusta mi caballo no, in past.....pero no me gustó mi caballo -muchas lugares......no, muchos lugares -damos una .....no, in past tense....dimos una.... -trato de comerme....I suppose that you mean that the horse tried to bite you instead eating you, didn't it?
I love the West. My favorite trip was was my trip out West. I went with my family. We travelled by plane because my father is a pilot and we can get cheap tickets. I have visited many places, but the West is my favorite. We camped and hiked in the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful and awe-inspiring. My family and I rode horses, but I did not like my horse. It was an evil (malvado) horse. It tried to eat me. Well, it didn't try to eat me, but I didn't like it. We went to the Painted Desert. We visited my aunt and went to Disneyland. This is the reason for mi favorite trip being [to] the West.
Chuse75:
The horse trying to eat him is hyperbolie for effect. That is why he later explains that his horse didn't actually try to eat him.
I'm from the US, so I dropped the u from favourite, but I wasn't trying to make a correction.
We love contractions. We never write did not when we can say didn't, etc. (read that: we're lazy).
We refer to the different regions of the US by compass points: North, South, East, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, Midwest, etc. We captialize the names of the regions.
We also capitalize the names of specific locations like Disneyland, the Grand Canyon, and the Painted Desert.
We also capitalize languages and nationalities (English/Spanish).
