Homework corrected

"I think I would laugh a lot and of my house was close to the party I would return there and I would change my custome to a fancy dress, then I would go back to the party ready to rock.

But if the party was very far from my house I would laugh a lot an I would keep my custome on and I would make a lot of jokes about the situation."


When I was reading the text I saw that almost all my mistakes I already know how to write it but I didn't pay the enough attention to write it correctly, so I have to take more time and patience to do the homework.
