The snowstorm in our city last week (1)
________________ (was) not a large one, but it (2)__________________
(caused) many accidents. The snow (3)
_________________(started) to come down in the late afternoon. I (4) _________________ (saw) it through the
window of the office where I (5)_________________ (work) as a secretary.
It (6) _________________ (had been snowing) for an hour when I (7)
_________________ (started) to drive home. The cars (8)
__________________(were driving) slowly because the road was dangerous. It was
slippery snow that (9) _________________ (was freezing) when it (10)
________________ (hit) the roads. Police cars (11)
_________________(checked/were checking) the traffic regularly. I (12)
________________ (had been driving) for twenty minutes when the accident (13)
________________ (happened). My heater (14) ________________ (did not work / was not working),
and the snow (15) ________________(was freezing) on my window, so I couldn’t
see well. I (16) __________________(stopped) to clean my window every few
minutes. I (17) __________________ (had just started) the car again when my
tires (18) _______________ (started) to slip. The car (19)
__________________ (slipped) onto the side of the road. When it (20)
________________ (hit) the hill, it (21) __________________(turned over)
and (22) _________________ (stopped). I (23) ________________ (felt)
and (24) __________________ (looked) if I (25) ________________ (had been hurt),
but I was not. I (26) _________________ (had been driving) quite slowly, and
luckily I (27) ________________ (was wearing) my seatbelt. It was very quiet,
with just the sounds of music and falling snow; I (28)
__________________ (had been/was playing) the radio while driving. Soon the police (29)
________________ (came) and I (30) __________________ (was able) to reach
home in another hour.
