Hi! could someone correct this story? The story is about a 16 year-old boy called Jason that lived in Spain. One morning his father told him he could drive him into a village called Mijas, on the condition that he take the car in to be repaired at a nearby garage. The guy accepted and he drove his dad into the village and he promised to return at 4 PM. Because he had few hours available, he decided to go to a theatre. But the boy became so immersed in the films and when the last movie finished, it was 6 o’clock. He knew Dad would be angry, so he decided to tell him that the car needed many repairs. His dad knew he was lying so he felt so disappointed. The young boy insisted that he was telling the truth, so his dad explained that he had called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told him that the boy hadn’t yet picked up the car. The guy feebly confessed and the dad became crazy, he decided to walk the 18 miles home. The apologies of the son were useless. He had let his father down, and that day he learnt one of the most painful lessons of his life because he has never lied to him since.

Could someone correct this story for me? Thanks The story is about an 18 year-old guy that was broke. To earn money he sold books door-to-door. While selling books, one day he met a tall woman in her 80s called Mrs Link, she needed some help with the yard/garden and house. So the young boy started working there. He learnt to do many tasks, for example how to plant bulbs, what flowers and weeds to pull up or how to vacuum her Persian rug. Mrs. Link was never able to have children but her family lived nearby and the neighbours were fond of her. After a year and a half, the boy started seeing Mrs. Link less and less because the job and church were taking more of his time. So he finally found another girl to help Mrs Link. On Valentine’s Day, the guy was compiling a list of his valentines, but in that list wasn’t Mrs Link. His mom said “You need to get Mrs Link a valentine.” He disagreed but the mom insisted. Finally he self-consciously presented her a small bouquet which she accepted graciously. Some months later, the guy visited again the elderly woman and in her living room stood his bouquet that was the only valentine she received that year.

Could someone correct me this story? Thank you :) The story is about a guy of 17 years old that was alone at home with his mom because his dad and his little brother had gone to Boy Scout camp out. It was around 2 in the morning when he needed to go to the bathroom one more time before going to sleep. While sitting on the toilet, he heard a little tap on the bathroom door, he thought the mom had done the noise but when he opened the door, there was nobody there. When he returned, he realized that the bedroom door was shut so he decided go to his mom’s room and tell her that somebody was in his bedroom. However, the mother didn’t take him seriously. He returned again to the bedroom nervously, then opened the door and when he snuck a peek into the room, he could see a hand sticking out from behind the dresser. The guy ran to the mom’s room again and fortunately, the mother finally believed him and after that, she decided call the police. The guy put an ear against the door and he could hear the man’s footsteps come out from his bedroom and come closer to the room. In a moment, the person tried the doorknob but thankfully he had locked the door previously. Consequently, the man gave up and left the house.
