✔ Proofreading: Correct the mistakes

Here is the original story with errors:

> Sally went to Thailand, her family last month. Although she had been to many countries, but it was the first time she had visiting China. Since Sally's parents were very busy and seldom spent a holiday with her, Sally was quite exciting about this trip, of course. They went there by the plane. The flight was quiet short and lasted for only two hours. During this trip, Sally went a lot of places and saw a lot of things. On the last day of their holiday, they visit a special park call Gator park, where Sally was excited to see so much alligators and other animals. After a week's holiday, they returned back home. Indeed everyone happy about this trip although time had passed too quickly.

Now let’s go through each sentence and correct the mistakes.

---

#### 1. Sally went to Thailand, her family last month.
- Mistake: Missing preposition or comma issue.
- Correction: "Sally went to Thailand with her family last month."
- ✔ Corrected: "with"

> ✔️ 1. with

---

#### 2. Although she had been to many countries, but it was the first time she had visiting China.
- Mistake 1: "although" and "but" can't be used together — redundant.
- Mistake 2: "visiting" → should be past participle ("visited") after "had".
- Correction: "Although she had been to many countries, it was the first time she had visited China."
- ✔ Corrected: "but" → remove; "visiting" → "visited"

> ✔️ 2. but (remove)
> ✔️ 3. visited

#### 3. Since Sally's parents were very busy and seldom spent a holiday with her, Sally was quite exciting about this trip, of course.

- Correction: "Sally was quite excited about this trip..."
- ✔ 4. excited

---

#### 4. They went there by the plane.
- Mistake: "by the plane" → incorrect article. We say "by plane" (no article).
- Correction: "They went there by plane."
- ✔ 5. remove "the" → just "by plane"

> ✔️ 5. remove "the" → "by plane"

---

#### 5. The flight was quiet short and lasted for only two hours.
- Mistake: "quiet" → should be "quite" (adverb meaning "fairly").
- Correction: "The flight was quite short..."
- ✔ 6. quite

---

#### 7. On the last day of their holiday, they visit a special park call Gator park...
- Mistake 1: "visit" → should be past tense ("visited").

- Correction: "...they visited a special park called Gator Park..."
- ✔ 8. visited
> ✔ 9. called

---

#### 8. ...where Sally was excited to see so much alligators and other animals.
- Mistake: "so much" → "so many" (alligators are countable).
- Correction: "to see so many alligators..."
- ✔ 10. many

---

#### 9. After a week's holiday, they returned back home.
- Mistake: "returned back" → "returned" already implies going back; "back" is redundant.
- Correction: "they returned home."
- ✔ (Optional: remove "back") – but not listed as a numbered mistake.

---

#### 10. Indeed everyone happy about this trip although time had passed too quickly.
- Mistake: Missing verb ("was").
