A Near Miss Accident

Today, I almost had an accident when I was writing a report. The report was an experiment report and it included a lot of figures and data. I had written it for three hours, but I forgot to save it. At the moment, Microsoft Word froze and broke off. I thought my progress of the three hours ended up in vain. However, when I rebooted Word, my progress was not lost. The part that I wrote just before freezing was deleted but it didn't a big matter. I had quite a fright.

A Near Miss Accident

The reporIt was an experiment report and it included a lot of figures and data.

I don't think it is wrong, but most English speakers would prefer not to repeat words too much, so using a pronoun sounds more natural.

I had been writtening it for three hours, but I forgot to save it.

At theat moment, Microsoft Word froze and broke off.

It is unclear what "broke off" in this situation. A computer program becoming stuck is just called "freezing".

Feedback

New software is amazing huh. I bet lots of people lost their work before Microsoft finally implemented the auto-save feature.
