Just a short story about my everyday life Recently I sat in the bus going home after a hard day of working. I thought about the things I will do if I am at home and what is going on TV tonight. Suddenly, I heard a strange noise that made peeeep all the time. It was awful! I looked around and tried to figure out where these noises might come from. I was pretty sure that it comes from the watch of an old man who was sitting next to me. So I asked him. Excuse me Sir, is this your watch that is making these peeeep noises all the time? The guy faced me and said. No this is my heard pacemake that is making these noises. After he told me that, I felt somehow embarrassing for asking that question. But the noise was really annoying. Thanks in advance for correction!!! :) René

Hi Rene! The story was really well written. When telling stories that happened in the past we usually use the past continuous: 

 

was + (main verb) + ing 



Don't forget quotation marks when you are using direct speech eg: he said, "I'm not coming tonight" 



Also, we only have pacemakers for the heart, nothing else so we don't need to say 'heart pacemaker' only 'pacemaker'.  Hope the corrections helped!
