Englisch-Grammatik richtig? Bitte mal nachsehen

Hi - hab gerade wieder einen englichen Text mit Lücken gefüllt. Wäre schön wenn mal jemand nachsieht, ob Fehler drin sind und wenn ja wo. Thanks


Looking at grammer: simple past

Fill in the correct forms of the simple past. Be careful about negative and irregular forms.

The early days Michael and Kate King started Blue Sky in 1993 – and a lot of people thought they were mad to do so. After all, the UK was in a recession and people didn’t have money for exotic holidays. Not only that, but they didn’t sell cheap package holidays and weren’t interested in business travel, either. Right from Day 1, Blue Sky specialized in adventure travel and nothing else.

And during the first years it seemed as if the critics were right. Michael travelled[/u] widely, while Kate run[/u] the agency in Fulham. Kate’s mother looked after the office work without pay. Their first employee, Andrea Cooper, jointed Blue Sky as a volunteer straight from school. Michael and Kate worked a 60-hour week and often they didn’t see each other for days. And although they arranged holidays for other people, they didn’t take as much as a day off themselves. Life really was very hard, says Kate, and we didn’t have much money, either. Often we lived off our credit cards, and when the private phone rang, we were always afraid it was the bank. But we didn’t give up.
