- Find and correct eight mistakes in the text. Last night we used to watch a film in the living room when suddenly we heard a sound. At first we were thinking that it was coming from the TV, but then we realised it was in the kitchen. My dad thought it used to be a burglar, so he went into the kitchen to find out. He opened the door and something flew out really fast! Then we hear another sound. We went back to the living room. The lamp was on the floor and in the corner we were seeing a parrot. It was my neighbour's parrot! It was knocking things onto the floor while it's flying through our house. We rang the neighbour and he took his parrot back. I was thinking parrots were boring pets, but I was totally wrong about that!
