Reading for retelling

Are there mistakes? ( ﾟдﾟ)

This story is about a man called Greg who received a shiny new camera as a present . He was exited so he decided to practice his photography skills in the park and the camera worked like a dream. After that he returned home and realised that he didn't have the camera so as quick as a flash, he went to the park to look for it but it wasn't there.
A few weeks later he was reading the newspaper, his photos had come out so he turned as white as a sheet. And then Greg discovered that someone had taken his camera and handed it in to the newspaper office, where Greg got his camera back with the phone number of the person who found it. So he called her and when they met , (they ended up get like house of fire?). Finally Greg noticed that she was a famous photographer and she wanted to help him with his career.

I could understand this quite well while reading it, but maybe practice tenses a bit more? (Had, have, has). Apart from that, the only part that I didn't understand was 'They ended up get like houses of fire'. I could follow the story very well though! :3

Yes, not very often but sometimes if you are given a short amount of time to achieve something you can use it. I live in England though, and I think we use more phrases and expressions than they do in America.

Yes there is a difference (but sometimes a phrase can be a sentence). A phrase is usually something people say quite often (usually a simile, metaphor or something referencing an old story ). For example: 'piece of cake', 'beating a dead horse', 'break the ice', 'mad as a hatter' are all phrases and they can be used in sentences. (e.g. 'It was a piece of cake'.) (I'm sorry, I'm not very good at explaining but I hope that helped!)
