going to school. Everybody at school (9) _____ seeing me like this. However, it was a little difficult to (10)
_____ it for the new teachers or students. They (11) _____ stare at me for a long time when they first saw
me. I didn’t have a boyfriend as you guess. But things have changed since then. Today I’m an attractive
woman. After high school, I decided to change. I had my hair cut first, then I tried to meet new people. Of
course it took me a long time to (12) _____ being with others all the time even if I didn’t have anything to
talk with them. Now, I go out every evening with my friends. I (13) _____ making new friends all the time.

have to (15) _____ living alone all my life.”

I (19) _____ being told off at school because I didn’t do any work. I (20) _____ play drums in my free time

(22) _____ getting bad marks in all subjects except music. I (23) _____ have a pop group. At first we (24)
_____ playing in front of audiences but people wanted us to play at their parties all the time. Little by little
we (25) _____ being on the stage. We (26) _____ work on some popular songs and sing them for audiences.
We (27) _____ earn a lot of money. We (28) _____ buy new musical instruments or fashionable clothes for
ourselves. My parents always accused me of being an easy-going person but they (29) _____ listen to me for
hours. They really liked what I was doing. Maybe they had to (30) _____ it because there was no way out. I
(31) _____ so happy those days. One day, I was going to be famous and rich. But things have changed a lot
since then. Sometimes dreams won’t come true. Anyway, I play in a band recently. We play in this small
