It was a cool autumn. 4 A.M. I was still chatting with my old friend. She lived
in America and her mother, who is designer, asked her to try on one of her
products. It was new, long, black dress. She had put on a make-up, which
matched with her dress. She was going to her friend’s birthday. Her appearance
was incredibly beautiful. I wished her good luck and went to bed. I was woken
up by my ringtone. She was calling me to talk about her fail. I thought
something bad had happened, when I was asleep. She said there were many
people in the house; of course, the room started getting stuffy. And my friend
make-up started to flow. She had been dancing with flowing make up for 20
minutes, when Olivia, who is her friend, said about terrifying disaster on her
face. She became popular by her extraordinary black and white make-up. There
were long night and ridiculous morning in one day.

Alex had been working hard all day, and was looking forward to going home.
Alex was a famous singer. When he was on his twenties, he was at the top of his
career. After work at 9 o’clock in the evening he was going home, when
suddenly someone held him from behind. And the other one put him to sleep.
They kidnapped him while he was unconscious.

As soon as he had woken up, he looked around and couldn’t figure out where he
was. He was shocked and scared. His hands were tied. Before he got out of bed
the kidnappers had appeared. It turned out that they were his crazy fans. They
had been following him for a long time. They wanted to see him and talk to
him.
At that time Alex’s manager was trying to find him. He couldn’t get in touch
with him. Then he remembered that he had downloaded an app which shows
him his location. Because he always tried to get out of his schedule. Fortunately,
by 11 p.m. his manager and police had found him. Eventually, everything turned
out well.

it was a very small, not significant mistake that changed my life. I worked as a
cleaner for a very small salary, which was barely enough to live on, it lasted 5
years. I was often shouted at, treated badly, but in the end I managed to collect
the necessary amount to go back to my homeland to try to start a new life again.

one evening, having borrowed a laptop from a colleague, I started looking for
train tickets to my homeland and at one point I get distracted by something,
miss the mouse cursor and buy a ticket not to my hometown, but to a country I
am absolutely unfamiliar with. the money has already been debited from my
card. my parents said that their relative who knows me works in that place, and
that they were going to recommend me to him anyway, I thought it was fate and
decided to go there. I was met by my uncle Homer, he had his own business and
he helped me a lot with work. now I don't really need money and try not to
remember how bad my past was.
1. It, One, My, The, Now !!!
2. got distracted, and missed the mouse cursor so I bought a ticket
3. The money had already been debited - It is a short story about the Past so
you can’t use Present Perfect!

It was eleven o’clock at night when the phone rang. I was deeply sleeping and
run quickly to catch phone. ………. The hospital receptionist told me that my
brother had had a car accident when he was going home. As a result I woke up
my mom and dad ,I got dressed and I went to the hospital with my parents , as
fast as we could . During the journey I felt very nervous and scared of the
situation because I was thinking that my brother was seriously injured. Then we
went in the reception's hospital and a nurse lead us to the observation`s room.
My brother lied in bed conscious. The doctor had had an X-ray to see is
anything is broken. Fortunately ,he only had broken his ankle although he need
an operation and he must stay in hospital for several days. It is not a real story
,but I think when the phone rang in the middle of the night, bad something had
happened
1. ran, not run
2. catch a phone
3. As a result I woke up my mom and dad got dressed and went to hospital
with my parents as fast as we could

Continuous instead of Past Simple

We had been driving for four hours when we saw the sign for a small hotel and
decided to stop .

When we went inside the hotel, we were met by the receptionist, he greeted us
and smiled very strangely.Definitely, this hotel looked very old and seemed very
creepy, but along the way when we were driving we didn't meet any other hotel
besides this one, so we had no other choice.We booked a room for one night and
went up to the 2nd floor to our room .

The room was old, dusty, it seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time,
but because of fatigue we did not attach importance to this.We decided to take a
shower and go straight to bed . We fell asleep very quickly. But in the morning
we woke up, because of the screams coming from the next room, it was very
clear that some people were quarreling with each other.But most of all we were
set up by the fact that at night when we booked rooms, we were informed that
all rooms were free and we could choose any one.After a while , the screams
stopped .It was already 7 a.m. and we decided not to stay here for a long time ,
because everything seemed terribly creepy .

We continued our journey , we had to go for another 6 hours .Suddenly my wife

asked me to stop the car .When I stopped the car and asked what happened, she
showed me an article where it was written that the hotel where they spent the
night, numerous guests complained about strange noise, screams ,opening taps
and restless sleep. Some guests saw ghosts in the room, reports Noticia.ru

EXCELLENT!!!

Only few small mistakes:

1. for a long time - any longer

2. they? - we
3. reported - no connection with the Present so using REPORTS is not right

We had been driving for four hours when we saw the sign for a small
hotel and decided to stop. We were very exhausted and it was getting dark. The
hotel was between two big cities on our destination. We couldn’t reach any of
the big hotels. The small hotel that we stopped looked fine and cozy. It was
managed by the Indian family from Kerala.
We had a dinner together and talked a lot about India and Kyrgyzstan.
And then we were playing snooker. The evening was nice but suddenly the
owner, called Ashwin, offered some unknown herbal tea. After we tried, it made
us immediately asleep.
I woke up next morning in the middle of the street with my brother next
to me.
Is it a dream, or NOT?

1. stopped at
2. had dinner
3. After we tried it, we fell asleep immediately
