I happened to be walking along the city street when I set my sight on a bakery, where a man with a tall hat is making{#blank#}1{#/blank#}cake, so I stopped{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(watch) how it was made. After watching it for several times for the next few{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (day), I decided to make one myself. With everything I needed{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (prepare), I began to carry out the whole process{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the help of the instruction book without {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(interrupt). After three times of failure, I finally made it and couldn't be more{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(excite)

    From this experience{#blank#}8{#/blank#}I have learnt is that as long as you try, God will always be on your side; on the contrary, if you just do things halfway, only {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(leave) the rest unfinished, the regrets will{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(definite) come after you.

    Middle English is the name {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(develop) of this new type of English. The most important {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(贡献) was from the Normans, a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (French speak) people who{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons' victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e{#blank#}8{#/blank#} 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#}the words for animals and meat developed.
