Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and tips and do the exercises.
Tips
- You don't have to write complete sentences in text messages.
- You can use short forms, e.g. thx (thanks) and pls (please).
- To cancel a plan, say I don't think I can make it. Add the date (e.g. I don't think I can make it tomorrow) and/or to + the activity (e.g. I don't think I can make it to the party tomorrow).
- To show sympathy, say Poor you and Hope you feel better soon.
- Exclamation marks (!) sound positive and they are used a lot in text messages. Two exclamation marks (!!) shows you really, really mean it!

The last time I had to cancel a plan was before the pandemic, I was sick then I had to do.
Fifteen days ago, I canceled my plan.Because there was coronavirus. I would go to SPA at 7th April, but coronavirus spreaded everywhere. The government forbiddened go out street. The factories stopped to production. Masked people seemed everywhere. We prisoned to home ourself.

Maybe if I cancel plan,that`s maybe happen because I work night shifts and in the day I sleep... or really I have more important commitment.
The last time I canceled a plan was in 1990 . I was in Italy and I decided to stay longer than I had to do.
The last time when I cancelled a plan was a few days ago. Me and my friend had a plan to go out to a swimming pool. I had to cancelled it, because of my hurt of shoulder.
last time that i cancelled a plan was two days ago. I should met my friends the day after and we should went togheter to met some of our high school teachers. But, in these days, i don't feel very well, my mood is not very good. So, i prefered to stay at home and i cancelled our plan. But i postponed our meeting for tomorrow.
One year ago, I decided to learn German Language and started that with a training application language. But after a while, I thought it is better to enhance my English language skills. For this reason, I canceled my previous decision.
Hello Teacher, can you check this sentence for me!!
I had a travel to Sapa with my best friends last Monday. However we had to cancel that trip because the weather forecast announced that the temperature there is downed to -12 degrees with avalanche. It was sad to can't go there . But in turn we had a small party at my house. it went quite well and deeply great.
Hello minh lộc
Although we usually do answer specific questions about specific sentences, I'm afraid we don't correct our user's writing -- we're simply too busy working on new materials to do this. I understand your paragraph without any trouble, but there are a few errors in it. For example, in the third sentence you need a negative infinitive after 'it was sad': 'It was sad not to be able to go there'.
I hope this helps you.
All the best
