Everyone has a childhood. And childhood {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (experience) are often very funny. Children often make us laugh. It's true that children brighten up a home. They never turn off the lights.

    I often recall my childhood, the years {#blank#}2{#/blank#} many interesting things happened. When I was a two-year-old child, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my parents were always very busy with their work. My mother worked {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a sales manager in a company {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my father served in the army. So I lived with my grandma in a village. I was always waiting for my parents at home. Once my father sent us a photo of his {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (dress) in a soldier's uniform {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was posted on the table reminding me of him.

    Once my mother came to see me and we went {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(shop) together. On the way we saw a group of soldiers. And when I saw them, I became{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (excite). I said in a ringing voice pointing to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, “This is my father, and this is my father, and that is my father, too!”

    My mother said she would remember that moment all her life.

    Linda Evans was my best friend. When I was 13, my family moved away. We kept in touch through {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (letter) and saw each other on special time — like my wedding and Linda's. Soon we were busy with children and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (move) to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (come) back, stamped—Address Unknown. We lost touch with each other.

    Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I was eager {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (share) happiness and sadness. There was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

    One day, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (read) a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—Linda's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (marry) name. There must be thousands of Wagmans, I thought, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I still wrote to her.

    She called as soon as she got my letter. Mrs, Tobin, she said {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (excite), —Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.

    Minutes later, I heard a voice that I knew very much, even {#blank#}10{#/blank#} 40 years. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there's one thing that Linda and I know for sure: we won't lose each other again!

    There are{#blank#}1{#/blank#}styles in clothing. Some styles are{#blank#}2{#/blank#}——they stay popular{#blank#}3{#/blank#}a long time and never go{#blank#}4{#/blank#}out of fashion. They may be enduring favourites for several {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, or even generations.

    One morning, I was waiting at the bus stop, worried about {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) late for school. There were many people waiting at the bus stop, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} some of them looked {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(disappoint). When the bus finally came, we all hurried on board. I got a place next {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the window, so I had a good view of the sidewalk. A boy on a bike {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(catch) my attention. He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms. I heard a passenger behind me shouting to the driver, but he refused {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(stop) until we reached the next stop. Still, the boy kept {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(ride). He was carrying something over his shoulder and shouting. Finally, when we came to the next stop, the boy ran up to the door of the bus. I heard an excited conversation. Then the driver stood up and asked, “{#blank#}8{#/blank#} anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop?” A woman on the bus shouted. “Oh dear! It's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(I).” She pushed her way to the driver and took the suitcase thankfully. Everyone on the bus began talking about what the boy had done, and the crowed of strangers {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sudden) became friendly to one another.
