Although living in another country can be an (1)          [excited, exciting, pleasure, thrilled] adventure, it is sometimes proves (2)            [have been, be, of being, to be] a difficult experience. Many things are new and different – not only the language and culture but also (3)          [everyday, daily, average, regular] things like where to buy stamps or when banks are open.

However, when a person returns to their own culture, they may (11)            [bear, happen, suffer, experience] the same things in reverse. It takes them (12)       [some, any, every, all] time to get back to their former life in their home country.

After that, she decided to give up ballet. She got a degree and had a successful career in sales. However, she never stopped wanting to be a performer.
