I dreamed about visiting a amusement park with my family. I saw a lot of kinds of different animals like deer, elephants, tigers, and so on. My father played with monkeys to give some cookies. Then, I went to ride the viking. I rode this two times because viking is my favorite ride. I rode disco pang pang with my brother. My brother didn't want to play this ride. Maybe he felt very dizzy, I thought. Next, we went to ride a roller coaster. We sat seats and it start to move. I grabbed safety bar tightly. I felt scared and little confused. In the middle, I wanted to get off this ride. OH, MY, GOD!!! I fell headlong down. My feeling is, as my heart and my liver changed each position. I screamed and I woke up. What a confused dream it is!
This is your best piece of writing for me so far! Great work with your descriptions, especially at the end! I am very impressed. There are just a few minor corrections.
Thank you! :)

It's described as a snail. I wanted to design this like a visual animal. It is small planets in his head(Actually, these are tentacles). Also, his eyes(antennas)are formed of jewels. He has lying one upon colors house shell. And I wanted to draw his abdominal region to space. I love my art so much. Because when I was drawing this, I drawed it really hard.
Some Small Corrections:
He's described as a snail. I wanted to design this animal in an interesting visual way. He has small planets in his head (actually, these are tentacles). Also, his eyes(antennas)are formed of jewels. He has many layers of color on his house shell. And I wanted to make his abdominal region look like space. I love my art so much, because when I was drawing this, I drew it really hard.
A+ WONDERFUL JOB YEUEN. I was very impressed with the writing (which only needed a few small corrections) and even more impressed with the image you chose! It's a beautiful drawing of a snail and you describe it very well. Thank you!
