[English learner]Is this make sense?
Hi, I’m studying in Canada.
I made a conversation between my friend.
So, please correct any awkward parts in it.
1. (My friend was painting a dry wall, it had pretty big hole on it like half of one dollar bill. He put some paster before he put the paint on the wall)
A: Hey, are you trying to paint it?
B: Yes.
A: What is the black tape around the paint.
B: It’s kind of masking tape or protection tape. You don’t wanna paint over the paster part.
A: Aha, I see. But I was wondering whether or not you put the tape over the white paster.
B: What do you mean?
A: I mean. If you attach the tape over the white paster, you would paint twice because underneath the tape, it will remain as the white paster. So, it’s like a double job. You will have to paint the white paster part again.
B: Hm… Is it?
A: Yes. After you detach the tape, you would see the white part remaining, which is not covered by paint.
B: I see. I will make sure that so I don’t need to work twice. / so I don’t need to do double job.
A: Good luck~!!
2. The building is huge. It’s 30 story building. They connected the two 30 floor buildings with a long roof on the highest floor. It’s not a roof but kind of sub floor. There are swimming pool, deck for dance, and some place to take a break so people can see the skyline of the city. They used cantilever on it. At the end of the deck, you would feel like you are standing on the middle of the air. That’s kind of scary. The way they built was (that) they connected the cantilever to the main building with huge bolt so that the building press down the weight of the cantilever. The weight of the cantilever deck is over 10000 pound.

First, your question should be “Does it make sense?”
Hmm, I really don’t get what you were trying to tell your friend! And I have never seen people use some kinds of tape before painting a wall. @_@
Well, I think your vocabulary is pretty good, and you’re good at observing and describing things.

James asks…
I need suggestions on the name of my story so far?
I felt the cold, bitter wind rush against my face, as I ran as fast as I could down the long narrow driveway. I could hear the thing behind my seeming to get closer every time my foot hit the ground. My heart was racing a hundred and fifty miles a hour, it seemed, but, I kept pushing myself, I couldn’t slow down, it would surely get me if I did. That thought motivated me enough to run a little faster, but, it still seemed to be getting closer. It was getting darker outside and before I knew it I was running in the woods, jumping over fallen trees and piles of brush. I could hear the thing behind me even louder now than before. My mouth was getting dry and my legs began to ache, I didn’t think I could go on any further and that’s when I collapsed.
When I woke up it was morning and the sun was shining bright. It was warm against my face, despite the bitter cold air. I was still lying in the woods where I collapsed the night before wandering why that thing didn’t just eat me. Now I am lost in the woods and don’t know where the heck I’m at. I don’t know where to go. The woods were creepy even in the day time, most of the trees were hunched over or fallen down like a tornado or some other strong storm had gone through it the night before. There were dead leaves on the ground and the sound of rushing water somewhere in the distance. I couldn’t see too far into the woods because of the thick gray fog that covered the ground. I sat down on a nearby fallen tree and started to think about where I was before the thing was chasing me.
I didn’t like being in the mountains, isolated, 12,000 feet from sea level. Looking out the back window of the jeep started to make me sick to my stomach the further we ascended up the mountain, but, this is the place my parents talked me into going for Easter vacation. We always go on vacation for Easter, but, we usually go to The Bahamas, not the mountains. This year they wanted to try something new. We arrived at the cabin later that afternoon. The cabin was pretty big. The door opened to the living room and a left turn took you to the first room. Going straight through the living room you entered the dining/kitchen. On the right of the kitchen was a bathroom. Walking through the kitchen to the sliding glass doors took you out to the huge deck with a hot tub and a drained swimming pool. Another bedroom and bathroom was located upstairs. Upstairs the cabin didn’t have a flat roof like most houses, the rafters were exposed, and it was in the shape of a triangle it looked rather nice. The cabin was decorated with painted pictures of the mountains and forests. The furnisher was a bluish green color touched up with small white flowers and green and blue pillows. The fireplace was my favourite item in the house, it, was covered in grey and brown river rock. The owners of the cabin provided us with wood in the shed out back. My parents and my little brother, left about 3 hours after we arrived and unpacked, to the store to get some groceries. I decided to get in the hot tub while they were gone. I got into my bathing suit and stepped in the water and immediately pulled my foot out, I didn’t expect it to be that hot. The next time I started slowly and it wasn’t as bad. The water was almost unbearably hot once I submerged my whole body in it. I was in the tub for about 10 minutes when I saw a strange figure in the woods staring straight at me with big bright red eyes, but, not the kind you see in movies, these eyes were shaped like a crescent moon or the tip of a fingernail. I got out of the hot tub and grabbed my towel to dry off my face to erase any illusions I might be seeing, but, what I wished to be an illusion was still the red eyed figure staring at me. I blinked a couple of times and it was gone, just like that. I turned around and walked back into the house locking the door behind me. I never wanted my parents as bad as I did then. I walked into the bathroom and put my clothes on. I walked in the living room to the jacket closet and grabbed my jacket out, it, was getting chilly in the house. I turned to look out the door again and the figure was on the back deck staring in the sliding glass door. The figure was huge, it seemed to be maybe 10 foot tall. It looked like it walked on two legs instead of four. I could tell it was hairy from the small thin spikes jutting randomly from the creatures body. It ran for the door but failed to break it. I screamed and jolted to the front door, throwing it open and started running up the driveway. That’s all I remembered.
My stomach was growling and my mouth was extremely dry, almost like I haven’t had anything to drink in 2 months. I felt the outside of my pockets to see if I could feel my cell phone, but, I had no luck, all I could find was a half smoked pack of Marlboro Menthols and a green and purple lighter that said Jessica along the flat side. Jessica was a tall slim girl. At 18 years old her parents let her smoke as long as she
At 18 years old her parents let her smoke as long as she kept up her own habit. Now this girl was lost in the woods with nothing to her name but a half smoked pack of cigarettes and a lighter that barely worked.
I can fell drops of water hitting my skin getting more and more often with each passing second, until, it was a steady drizzle. When I lifted my arm I could see ice pellets bouncing off the blue sleeve of my jacket. Great it was already cold and now it’s sleeting and raining. All the leaves had fallen off the trees leaving me with nowhere to take cover.
I decided that I wasn’t going to get anywhere if I didn’t move. The question was: Where do I go? I decided to go towards the sound of the rushing water to see if anyone lived on the water or if there was at least an empty cabin to wait till the weather got better.

WOAH SLOW DOWN. A good author doesn’t go right ahead and describe every detail or a house or character etc.
As for a title Remembering Jessica.
