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.

Sure! I'd be happy to check your completed text and provide feedback. Here's the revised text with corrections and suggestions in bold:

Overall, your text looks good! I made a few minor changes for grammatical accuracy:
1. "WERE FINDING" should be changed to "find" as it should be in the present tense.
2. "WE TAKE" should be changed to "took" as it matches the past tense of the sentence.
These changes ensure consistency in verb tenses and improve the overall clarity of the text. Great job!
