Typhoon Day
A severe typhoon was supposed to sweep the northern Taiwan today and thus in some cities school and work are suspended today. However the typhoon changed its route, moving offward north. Therefore, we earned a day off. Some people took this advantage of the day off and went to see the movies today. We just took the time to clean our house, watch the movie "First Man" at home. During the movie, my kids have tons of questions regarding Neil Armstrong and the accidents happened before Apollo 11. I was so glad that I didn't take them to the theater. Otherwise, their questions might keep other movie goers from enjoying the movie. Maybe I should wait longer to take them to the theater. Until then, I'll just enjoy the questions-filled movies at home.

Typhoon Day
A severe typhoon was supposed to sweep the northern half of (or just northern Taiwan) Taiwan today and thus in some cities the schools and some workplaces arewere suspended (cancelled instead of suspended may be a better fit) today. However the typhoon changed its route, moving offward past the north. Therefore, we earned had a day off. Some people took this advantage of the day off and went to see the movies today. We just took used the time to clean our house, and watched the movie "First Man" at home. During the movie, my kids hadve tons of questions regarding Neil Armstrong and the accidents that happened before Apollo 11. I was so glad that I didn't take them to the theater. Otherwise, their questions might've kept other movie goers from enjoying the movie. Maybe I should wait longer until they're older to take them to the theater. Until then, I'll just enjoy the question-filled movies at home.
Great job! Some of my corrections were stylistic rather than from necessarily being incorrect. Hope you enjoyed the day off.

Typhoon Day
A severe typhoon was supposed to hit the northern Taiwan today, so in some cities school and work places were closed today. However the typhoon changed its route, moving offward north. Therefore, we earned a day off. Some people took this advantage of the day off and went to see the movies today. In my family, we just took the time to clean our house, and watch the movie "First Man" at home. During the movie, my kids had tons of questions regarding Neil Armstrong and the accidents that happened before Apollo 11. I was so glad that I didn't take them to the theater. Otherwise, their questions might have kept the other movie goers from enjoying the movie. Maybe I should wait longer to take them to the theater. Until then, I'll just enjoy the question-filled movies at home.
Note:
storms "hit"
storms sweep the coast of a place or sweep through a place
"thus" is used in more formal English. Otherwise, we would say, "so". It was raining, so I decided to stay home and clean the house.
