FIND AND CORRECT 5 MISTAKES.
When I was tidying my room last Sunday, I found some surprising things. Among all the
bored exercise books from my primary school days, there was something amazed: my
diary, from when I was eight years old. It was really interested to read my thoughts from
back then, though at times I felt a bit embarrassing, too. For example, I was still very
frightening of the dark in those days. I was also amusing to read how excited I was about
being nine soon- I thought I would be really grown up then.
