The
biggest event in Tom’s life (happened) by chance. He (was) 22 and he
(had just/left) college. He (had got) his degree and he was looking for a job.
He (wanted) to be a journalist but he (knew) he (did not/have) enough
experience. You see, as a student, he (spent most of his time in the
university theatre. He (had written) to all the newspapers, but he
(did not/receive) any replies. Then one day the phone (rang). It was a woman
who (offered) him a job as an actor. She (had seen) him in a play at the
university and (enjoyed) the performance. He (took) the job and since then
he’s been very successful. Last night he (discovered) he (had won) an award
for his performance in the play.
