I remember how  35   I was. It would soon be Christmas and Dad would be home for  36  three months.   Everything would be OK. Our home would be  37  and our time together would be  38  . My parents did what they could to give me and my four sisters what we needed, but not  39  what we needed.

That particular Christmas when my dad  40  me what I wanted for Christmas, I told him that I wanted a new pair of shoes and a beautiful hat.

Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays that he wrote.However,not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man,except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford-upon-Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway.We know nothing of his school life.We do not know,for example,how long it lasted,but we presume(推测)that he attended the local grammar school,where the principal subject taught was Latin.
