He wanted to reading the news about an important football match the night ago. The news was such interesting that he forgot to get off at his station. He didn’t know it when he saw the sea. He got off at the next station, and had to wait long time for a train to return back.

【解析】

此为为记叙文，文章讲述了John在坐火车时读报纸太入迷以至于自己坐过站上班迟到的事情。

第一处为名词单复数错误。乘火车用by train，为固定短语， 不用复数，故trains 要改为train。

第二处为主谓一致的错误。此处为which 引导的非限定性定语从句，which代指他总是买一份报纸这件事，因此，谓语用第三人称单数helps，所以help要改为helps。

第三处为时态错误。根据时间状语one Thursday morning， 以及后面的wanted 可知此处要用一般过去式，所以turns 要改为turned。

第四处为不定式搭配错误。“想要做某事”是want to do， 所以reading要改为read。

第五处为副词错误，此处表示他想看看前一天晚上的比赛，特指他看报纸的前一天，所以用the night before， 故 ago 要改为before。

第六处为副词搭配错误，修饰interesting 这个形容词要用so， such修饰名词，所以such要改为so。

第七处为连词错误。此处表示他直到看到大海才意识到自己忘记下车了。此处为not......until， 所以when 要改为until。

第八处为冠词错误。等了很长一段时间用wait a long time，一段时间time 可数 要加a，所以加a。

第九处为及物动词用法错误。return 是返回的意思，是及物动词直接加宾语。与back 意义重复，所以要去掉return 后的back。

第十处为代词错误。根据语境可知当John 告诉老板他为什么迟到时，老板很生气，John 是男的，所以she 要改为he。
