Question

I have to complete the text. I did with capital letter. Could you check it.

When I applied to university, I WASN’T PLANNING ON studying a language. While I WAS SEEING courses, I talked to a counsellor who suggested it. He said many young people WERE FINDING English valuable when they started working. WELL, I WAS LISTENING to him, some other students stopped to listen as well. Before long WE ALL WE TAKE an English class together.

thanks
