        Linda and Betty were both nineteen years old. In June, after a school year was over, they decided to take a vacation{#blank#}1{#/blank#} . They went to several towns and villages, visited some places of interest, saw and heard a lot of interesting things. They{#blank#}2{#/blank#}   very much.

One afternoon, they were going to stay overnight in a small town. It was too {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  to go further and they wished they could find a river and swim in the cool water. They were driving the car{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  while they were looking around. Suddenly Linda saw a lake not far away. They drove there fast and{#blank#}5{#/blank#} by the lake. They looked around and found a woman sitting on a stone and fishing there. After they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and were going to jump into the water, the woman came up to them and shouted, "Sorry, madams. Swimming  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  in the lake!"
"Why didn't you tell us about it{#blank#}8{#/blank#}   we took off our clothes?" Betty said angrily.    "But it isn't forbidden to take off clothes by the lake," said the woman.

    I often stay at home{#blank#}1{#/blank#} every weekend．But it's going to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} different next weekend．On Saturday morning I'm going {#blank#}3{#/blank#}with my parents．In the afternoon we are going to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} litter in the park near our house．On Sunday morning I'm going to see a movie with my friends and I'm going to fly a kite with my father on Sunday afternoon．I'm going to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a lot of fun next weekend．

    It was my first day at Grade 8. And the first lesson was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}English. When I was doing nothing, Mr. Li, our new English teacher, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} into the classroom. To my surprise, he held up a book, The Collected Works of Edgar Allan Poe, and asked “Who{#blank#}3{#/blank#}it yet? “. I put my hand up, because Poe was my favorite writer. Mr. Li asked if I really understood what the author tried to say in his book. My reply made him smile, and he asked me{#blank#}4{#/blank#}an essay on that subject. Mr. Li said “You have a gift for writing, Tony.” After that, English classes became a new interest for me. And now I realize how{#blank#}5{#/blank#} English is.
