Hi Merdogan
The meaning seems fine to me. Just a couple of things:
- in the summer vacation
- the summer vacation is a defined period (pretty much) so I think it would be better to say 'I have been to the country'. What do you reckon?

Well, I think that "I went out walking" or "I went for a walk" signifies exactly the same thing. , but Merdogan is right. There is no "some" . "I went out walking/I went for a walk with MY friends.

oh, sorry gamine, didn't notice your post which corrected the same thing. i apologize, just saw the original translation and thought no one noticed the "walking" part, but now i see you did. i meant exactly the same thing basically )

I think it is almost correct, however I'd rephrase the first sentence...

I have been to the country during the summer vacation.

Do you agree with the 'walking' thing, Merdogan?
How would you prefer the last sentence? I will then edit and validate.

I WENT TO the country FOR summer vacation.

spazieren — to stroll

I went to the country for summer vacation. There, I went to a cafe. Then, I went out for a stroll with my freinds.

I think the German text has still some mistakes: "auf dem Lande sein" --> "auf dem Lande gewesen"; "habe spazieren gegangen" --> "bin spazieren gegangen"; I would surely add "walking" in the last sentence.

Dear Friends,
I took it as " Ich bin.......gewesen"
It is not "to go" . It is "to be"

Hi Merdogan, from all the comments I would suggest

I have been to the country in the summer vacation. There, I went to a cafe. Then I went for a walk with my friends.

Do you agree? Can I edit and accept?
Thanks!
