This precis has no major grammatical mistake.
 
PRECIS

Last May, the author and his friend, John visited Cherokee county, Oklahoma - a relatively quieter tourist attraction. They went to the beautiful town of Qualla Boundary, where reenactment of 18th century lifestyle in Oconaluftee Village, introduced tourists to Cherokee’s history. The duo stumbled upon a souvenir shop decorated with traditional artifacts and had lunch with George - the outgoing owner of the shop. George was a former woodcutter, who switched to his current profession due to :cr:cr:cr:cr:cr:cr:cr:cr:crwant of income. George told them that aside from trade, the Cherokee earn extra money through small businesses during the tourist season. Finally, they saw some historic articles in a local museum. On his return, the author longed for the place and hoped for a new adventure.

[QUOTE=Greenboat;983907]Again! you made punctuation mistakes in the same sentense, let me do it in my way.

The auther's holiday dilemma came to an end when he visited Qualla boundry along with his friend. The beautiful senses of the nature and their customs were depicting the culture of 18th centuary.

Seniors or any CSP, please tell me if I am wrong?[/QUOTE]

Dear!separating the phrase with comma means that it is not required for the sentence to make sense.The Sentence can stand on its own.Putting it at the end give it importance.

Author writes that [COLOR="YellowGreen"]in previous May vacation[/COLOR] when he wanted to go to a placid place, his friend Joan [COLOR="YellowGreen"]called him[/COLOR] to go to Cherokee. Going by air, they toured Qualla Boundary [COLOR="YellowGreen"]town of Cherokee, wedged in alpines[/COLOR]. It seemed like three centuries in past. [COLOR="YellowGreen"]Nevertheless of different languages[/COLOR], they found market where there were handicrafts. A young man named George astonished them by welcoming in good English, [COLOR="YellowGreen"]who invited for lunch.[/COLOR] George told that he was a woodcutter and his side business was of a guide. He further told that Cherokees do different businesses, [COLOR="Lime"]like organising Bingo weekend[/COLOR] where people go to play games. Before departure they went to a museum. After return, author was suffering the nostalgia of Cherokee.

I have highlighted some of your mistakes. There are sentences, which need revision.
[LIST][*]Instead of 'called him', use 'advised him'[*]Qualla Boundary - a town of ....[*]"Like[/LIST]Organizing a Bingo weekend". Never give examples in precis.

Another mistake that i committed too is an absence of article.

It should An author.
