详解：
1．去掉time；考查英汉语不同的表达习惯，"第一次访问"英用语说my first visit便可．
2．a改为an；考查冠词用法，不定冠词a与辅音开头的词连用，后面若是元音开头的单词，就要用an，故把a改成an．
3．for改为of；考查固定搭配，be kind of sb to do sth意为"对某人来说能做某事太好了"．
4．drove改为drive；考查并列成分，连接词and连接的是两个并列的动作：meet与drive．
5．his改为their；考查代词的数．The Smiths用的复数，指一家人或夫妇俩，故后面相应的代词要用复数their．
6．another改为other；考查形近词辨析，another泛指"三个以上中的任意一个"，other表示"另外的，其他的"，通常与名词的复数形式连用，由此可知此处要用other．
7．have改为had； 考查动词时态的，整篇文章记叙过去发生的事，用的过去时，故此处也用过去式had．
8．eager前面加were；考查固定短语，be eager to do意为"渴望做某事"，eager是形容词，不能单独作谓语，
9．question改为questions； 考查名词复数，lots of 后面跟可数名词的复数形式．
10．去掉in 介词的使用不当．next last，this，that等与表示时间的名词连用时，前面不再加介词．
