Third Lesson Homework

Find Ten Mistakes in the verb patterns in the report and correct them

The day began like any other. I'd started ( I WAS STARTING) to get ready for school when i turned on the radio.
The announcer said that the Wall was down. I couldn't help to wonder if I was dreaming, it was so unbelievable. I thought i'd( I WOULD HAVE ) better hurry to school to see what was happening.
In the school playground everyone seemed to be very happy and excited. Then the head teacher came out. He said he wanted that we join( HE WANTED US TO JOIN) in the celebrations and so would let us to have( HAVING) the whole day off school.
My friend and I decided to go immediately to Checkpoint Charlie, the main crossing point from East to West Berlin.
We were keen ON welcoming the people arriving from the East.
When we arrived , everything was in chaos. We saw young, old people, friends , and strangers laughing and hugging each other.
The first cars from East Berlin started arriving and people were clapping , cheering, and throwing flowers.
At first the border guards attempted controlling the flow of cars but soon gave up trying because there were so many, and instead joined in dancing.
After a while they didn't prevent people to climb the Wall either.
Soon the people at top were helping others to clamber up - me and my friends among them- and we all carried on to dance.
Someone lent us a hammer and suggested us to knock chunks of concrete off the wall.
I remember ( WAVING )to East German guards in their watchtowers and they waved back. Only yestertday they would have been ordered TO shoot us! What a day. I shall never forget it.
