Exercise: There are 10 wrong words in the below passage. Find and correct
them. (Hint: /r/ & /l/ sound)
I worked rate that day and I didnt alive home until 10 oclock. I was very wet because of the Lane.
Then, to my supplies, my key didnt fit in the rock. So I looked closely at my keys and saw that
they were the long ones. I had left my house keys at work. So I got back on my motorbike and
load back to the office to correct them. I got home really tired, so I went to bed, led for half an hour,
switched off the right and went to sleep.
