Speaking exercise

Original –

Yesterday night I was so busy, my father told to me that they wanted to travel for a few days. So he want me drive them to a place, a bus would waiting for them. For me our car was stopped my parents home and actually my home and my parents home is a little bit long distance. For me my work is so busy, and yesterday night I work overtime until 11 pm. I thought about whether they can call a taxi, to go to there. or I went to my parents home even it was very late. Actually I went to my parents home yesterday night, maybe 2 o clock today’s morning. I want to say this is a question or a choice, I can let myself comfortable, I can choose just call a car for them, or I can drive them to that place. One thinking is for myself, the other thinking is for the company with my parents.

Correction

Yesterday night I was so busy at work, my father told me that they wanted to travel for a few days. So he wanted me to drive them to a place where a bus would be waiting for them.  Our car was parked at my parents home and actually my home is far from their’s. I was so busy at work, and last night I worked overtime until 11 pm. I thought about whether they can call a taxi to go there, or I should go to my parents home even though it was very late. Finally I went to my parents home last night, around 2 o clock this morning. I want to say this is a question or a choice, I can be comfortable, stay home and call a car for them, or I can drive them there by myself. One way is to consider myself, the other way is to consider spending time with my parents.
