Question

It may sound strange but I started roller skating when I was relatively old. A friend of mine gave me a pair of roller skates for my __________________ (EIGHTEEN) birthday. He said that he __________________ (TEACH) me some basic skating skills the next Saturday but disappeared for weeks. At first, I wanted to give the skates to someone else but I __________________ (NOT/CAN) think of anybody who met both requirements – to be keen on roller skating and to have the same size feet as mine. So, I put the skates on the shelf in the pantry and __________________ (FORGET) about them. “What are these?” my mum asked. She saw the skates when she __________________ (TIDY) up the pantry, “Why do you never go skating?” “I __________________ (GO) skating if I could skate. But unfortunately I can’t,” I said. “And it’s better to learn to skate in childhood, isn’t it?” “Right,” Mum nodded, “But you have no choice. You’ll never be any __________________ (YOUNG) than you are now.” That sounded like a good reason to start something new. I put the skates in my rucksack and headed to the park. There

__________________ (BE) lots of skaters in the park. Most of __________________ (THEY) moved gracefully and effortlessly. Some looked really clumsy.
