When I was six, we went to Bournemouth on holiday and saw an ice show and from (3)now on I was hooked. (4)It was on that same holiday that we met a man who told us that an ice rink was (5)being built in Bristol. As soon as it was opened, I (6)began/took up skating lessons and I never looked back.

Mum and Dad used to (12)make it in turns to (13)wake me up at 5 a.m, with a cup of tea. Fortunately I wasn't the (14)only one in the family needing all this attention because I had two elder brothers (15)who/that were already doing their own thing. One was a musician and both were sportsmen.

Oops!
Yeah, my fault. I got it wrong in No.2
But in 12 – very strange thing - I know expression "to take turns" but "to take in turns" ?  Yes, I've told already - I'm not sure about it  

Hi Pavlionka, the main thing is to give it a go – which you have done brilliantly!

i don't know.
