Regular verbs STORY IN THE PAST TENSE
 
Dear friends,
I have spent the last hour writing a story in past simple. I used the regular verbs only. It was a hard work, so I would appreciate any recommendations or corrections...
Here is the beginning of the story

MY WEEKEND

I decided to tell you about our last weekend.

Last Saturday I opened my eyes at 8 o�clock. I cleaned my teeth and washed my hair and then I dressed up.  I also tidied my room.

My mom called: �Breakfast ready!�

So I hopped down the stairs and opened the door to the dining room. Mom prepared ham and eggs. Water boiled, so I finished the black tea. I needed a big cup of tea. Yummy!

After breakfast I helped Mum in the kitchen � I washed the dishes and started to clean the desk. I wiped the kitchen desk while Mum cleaned the floor.

and the story continues:

I planned to learn English, so I returned to my room. I studied a little and then walked into the garden. I listened to the birds and watched them. Woof!  Miaow! Miaow! I listened carefully and looked into the neighbor�s garden. What did I see?

A dog played with a cat. The small black cat cried. I saved the cute kitten from the dog�s mouth. Poor fellow jumped on the tree and meowed.  Bad dog! I snapped the naughty dog.

Dad worked in the garage in the morning. He fixed the car and vacuumed the carpet. Then he washed the windscreen and cleaned the boot. He even dusted the seats! The car looked like new after that. Poor dad, he worked for two hours until mum arrived.

Mum cooked spaghetti for lunch. We stayed in the patio, mum served the meal there and we sipped raspberry lemonade as well. Radio played The Beatles. My parents loved the song so they danced :-) I liked the music too because it sounded sweet. I tried to dance too. Later I turned the radio off and walked to the backyard.

In the afternoon Mum watered the flowers and Dad and I painted the fence and talked about funny things. We enjoyed it very much and finished our work at half past four.

Mum looked out of the window and asked: �Would you like some ice-cream?�

�Yes, please!� I answered and licked my lips.

After the snack I called my best friend � Dan. I invited him for a game. Dan arrived at quarter past five with his dog, Spotty. We played Monopoly together. I scored more then my Mom. We laughed, shouted and enjoyed the game very much. At half past six Dan and I walked the dog. Spotty jumped up and down, barked and played with the stick all the way home.

I said goodbye to Dan and Spotty at quarter to seven. I walked happily back home.

I returned home at seven o�clock. Mummy prepared toasts for dinner. Dad opened a bottle of beer. After dinner we watched a cartoon and laughed and laughed. Even our fish Bubble smiled. We enjoyed it very much. In fact, nobody wanted to go to bed. :-D
