I grew up in a               family -my parents and I. I was an      child in the family. During my early childhood I spent almost all my time with my grandmother                     . She was really lovely! I'll never forget her soft hands, calm voice, and fabulous pies! But I never met my mother's father. He died before I was born. I only know that he          with his wife and lived with his sister, who was my            . She never married; she was really an old          . Sometimes I vivited her; I still remember the smell of her house that was a little bit old and musty. It was very strange for me to go round the old rooms looking at the photos of some of my           . I gazed at them for hours: my        in old-fashioned suits, my         in funny caps and other         relatives. We didn't                     most of them. But later we                                          my mother's sister. we wrote letters to each other and exchanged Christmas presents. Unfortunately.

EXERCISE HELPS MAKE YOU SMARTER

It is well known that any exercise that makes you heart         [beat, beats, to beat, beating] faster, like running or playing basketball, is great for your body and       [can, need, must, ought] even help improve your mood. But recently scientists              [are learning, have learned, had learned, were learned] that for a period after you've exercised, your body produces a chemical that makes your brain          [much, more, the more, mostly] receptive to learning. So if you are stuck on a homework problem, go out and play a game of soccer, then try the problem again. You just might discover that you             [are able to, are able, able, able to] solve it.

DO YOU WANT TO BE ANICER PERSON?

You might not            [care about, look after, make into, get over] being a nicer person, but the other people in your life probably do.

Reading, as my friend Christine        [talked, spoke, put, told] it, "allows me to experience another's emotions, which in       [line, turn, order, case] makes me more sensitive to those around me".

And she is right. Maybe you have never been a victim of racism or poverty. Maybe you don't know what hopeless love feels like. Maybe you find it easier to criticize than to sympathize.

Reading won't take that away            [entirely, perfectly, widely, deeply] but it will help you to slow down a little bit on the judging, because when you live other lives through books, you begin to see the other lives           [following, spending, happening, making] in the world around you. The lives you know nothing about. And you begin to have a little more understanding. A little less "us versus them" and a lot more "we're all in this together".
