Exercise 6. Find and correct the mistakes in the following text.

Losing your memory

Imagine it that one day you woke up and discovered that you had completely lost your memory. How would you have feel exactly? I have thought about this recently after I was involved in a traffic accident. I woke up in hospital, and said to myself: “It’s the time I got up and have went to school!” I soon realised my mistake. A nurse came in and asked to me what my name was. I thought about it for a moment and then said, “I would wish I knew!” Then I tried to get up. “I’d rather prefer you didn’t do that,” said the nurse. “Don’t worry you’ll have it your memory back soon.” “I wish you hadn’t have said that,” I replied. “Now I am really worried! If I hadn’t looked in my wallet, I wouldn’t have been known my own name!” Unfortunately my memory soon came back, and I realised I had a maths test the next day!
