Last summer it was hard for him to find a calm and exiting place to spend summer holidays. On john’s suggestion they decided to visit Cherokee. They reached Quala boundry village of Cherokee which was rich of natural beauty. Reproducing ancient crafts and lifestyles, Quala presented Cherokee past. Souvenir shops were full of traditional art crafts. They came to know by a shopkeeper that Inhabitants of Cherokee trade in summer and in off season they find other means of income.

Title: A Trip to Qualla Boundary

In order to avoid holiday crowd, the writer sets off to spend vacations in the historical town, Qualla Boundary, in Cherokee, Oklahoma. The mountainous paradise is notably celebrated for reproducing the 18th century – tribal – tomahawks, war bonnets, tepees, and playing pageants; all picturing rich Cherokee legacy. The people work from dawn to dusk during the peak season, whereas, Bingo Weekends fetch them living, otherwise. The museums present Cherokee cosmology through hand-carved symbols.

Kindly check my work.
This is a 72-Words’ piece, whereas the question demands 120 words 

1) You don`t board a town.
2) This was the original sentence
"Despite the language barrier, we managed to find our way to the souvenir shops with the help of the natives."
You could have said that "The locals were very amiable towards the foreigners.
3) You should have mentioned the Bingo Weekend and varied professions of Cherokees.
Apart from these, its a great attempt.

An eminent teacher of English taught me that Precis is the compressed picture of an original picture, and precis should never raise doubts in the mind of a reader that it is not an original piece of writing. Means, it should be as written that the reader thinks that it itself is the original piece of writing. So weighing your precises on this definition, i found an error ( i may be wrong so please correct my mistake if it is one). Almost all of the precises in this thread are begun with the following sentence: "Author and his friend found it hard" etc. This sentence clearly tells a reader that this is not the original piece of writing, for it references to the Author. What comes in my mind regarding the correct precis of the passage ( According to me, which could be wrong) is that we should not include the author and his friend etc, instead we should write about the Cherokee, the main topic of the precis. It is requested to the members who passed the paper in 2016, shed light on this and help the other aspirants.

A tour to Cherokee.

According to Author, last May, when he was free. He wanted to visit some interesting and far place. His friend, recommended him a tour to Cherokee, a county in Oklohama. They prepared for it and reached there. They visited a town called Qualla Boundary, a beautiful place covered all around by mountains. It had pure tribal lifestyle. They visited souvenir shops, which were full of various stuff. They had a long chatting with one of shopkeeper, who was formerly a wood cutter. Shopkeeper told them, about his hard life and also about people of Cherokee. He told them, that when, the tour season is off in Cherokee, people earn money through the Bingo weekend, where people gather and play various games. They also visited museum. Upon returning back, they missed the tour and had plan to visit another place.

1)Your first sentence is making no sense at all.It is not even a sentence. where is the verb???
2)Revise it.
3) Unnecessary
4) use a better word
5) Too long. make it concise. Ex: They chatted with a shopkeeper, who told them about the hardships of cherokee.
6) "The" is missing.
7) Don`t ever use a coma before "that". Ever!
8) Returning is enough. Ex: After their return, they missed the trip and contemplated about another one.
Otherwise its good.Keep it up.

Thanks a lot for replying me.
