Shall I replace the word counter with section? For example, "sweets section, pasta section"? Could you please check these sentences?

1) When I go to the supermarket, I get a trolley or a plastic basket first and then I go to the meat and fish section(/to the deli section).
2) I get a ticket and wait for my turn. Finally, I go to the check-out counter. I usually pay cash but sometimes by credit card.
3) Last year I went to Noli, a seaside resort in Italy for my holiday. It was very funny! (I think it should be "it was fun!")
4) We did a lot of sports like swimming, running and beach volley.
5) Besides, (I don't think it is correct) we slept in a hotel and in the evening(s) we hung out. We enjoyed ourselves a lot and we visited a lot of interesting museums. It was a great experience.

I'd use "section" because in supermarkets, food and goods are arranged in sections of shelves or freezers or refrigerated cases, not specifically counters. Counters are included in specialty stores, such as the deli or the bakery or the meat market.

1) When I go to the supermarket, I get a shopping cart first, and then I go to the meat and fish section(/to the deli section).

1) When I go to the supermarket, I first get a trolley or a plastic basket, and then I go to the meat and fish section (or deli section).

To check the sentence, ask yourself if replacing the word "counter" with "section" makes sense in the context. In this case, it does make sense because you are referring to different sections of the supermarket where specific items are located.

2) I get a ticket and wait for my turn. Finally, I go to the check-out counter (or cashier).

The word "counter" is appropriate here because it refers to the place where you pay for your items at the supermarket.

3) Last year I went to Noli, a seaside resort in Italy for my holiday. It was very fun!

To check the sentence, ask yourself if the word "fun," when used as an adjective, describes the experience accurately. In this case, "fun" does convey the intended meaning, so the sentence is correct.

4) We did a lot of sports like swimming, running, and beach volleyball.

To check the sentence, ask yourself if the words used to describe different sports make sense in the context. In this case, swimming, running, and beach volleyball are specific sports, so the sentence is correct.

5) Besides, we slept in a hotel and in the evenings we hung out. We enjoyed ourselves a lot and visited many interesting museums. It was a great experience.

To check the sentence, examine each part individually:

- "Besides" is used correctly as a transitional word.
- "Slept in a hotel" describes an action that makes sense in the context of travel or vacation.
- "In the evenings" refers to a specific time frame.
- "Hung out" can be used to describe spending leisure time together.
- The phrase "enjoyed ourselves a lot" conveys the intended meaning.
- "Visited many interesting museums" describes an activity that aligns with the context of the sentence.
- "It was a great experience" expresses an opinion about the overall experience.

Therefore, the whole sentence is correct.
