I

a
good
student
in
my

But
you
don’t
know
16 I
started
senior English in

different
17 what we learned in
junior school. 18 _ the help of my teacher, I
realized
the
19
(important)
of
English,
so
I
was 20
(determine)
to
learn
English well. From then on, every
morning I recited English words, 21

of 22 (exercise). My English

I
went
to
the
seaside
to
spend
my
holiday
last
summer
holiday
with
my
family.
One
day,
I
was
swimming
in
the
river
__16__
someone
shouted,
“Look
out.
There
is
a
shark
not
far
away!”
on
hearing
the
shout,
I
was
scared
to
__17__
(die)
because
I
was
well
aware
__18__
its
dangerous
characteristic.
“Just
don’t
worry, Tom!” my father said to me,
“
but in order to avoid being harmed,
let’s go back to our hotel.”
We
stayed
in
the
seaside
for
about
two
weeks.
Though
the
weather
was
__19__
hotter than that in
my hometown, I got used to __20_ and __21__ (feel)
at
home.
Every
morning,
I
got
up
earlier

my
parents
and
went
for
breakfast
ahead of time.
Then
I
went to
have
__22__
chat
with
my new friend, John, who
I happened to come __23__ during my
holiday. John was a native and he was
familiar with the seaside well. He was
a man __24_ good qualification. Soon
we
became very good friends. After we parted, we have
been kept writing to
each other. Now, I
still often hear from him. We talked in our letter
