As a child, I started learning to play the piano, my favorite musical ________, but I was forced to give up when I started my middle school ________ I could concentrate more on my studies.
It’s one of my biggest ________ to stop practicing the piano when I recall sadly today. During the following years, I kept telling my piano teacher that I would ________. However, I didn’t keep my promise because I was ________ with my study. ________ I lost touch with my teacher. Some years later, my teacher died. I was very sad because I lost such a good teacher. She was a very warm and gentle person. It hurts me to think she may have been ________ that I never returned. I haven’t taken lessons since then but to be honest, I ________ to. Sitting at the piano, I couldn’t help recalling many ________ — times of my practising at home and playing before my teacher and one time my teacher ________ me after I played entire pieces of music wrong in front of her colleagues. I was so ________ that I could hardly say anything. But her ________ helped me ease my shame. These memories, ________, good or bad, never caused my ________ for playing the piano again.
This thought then led me to think that ________ is like music, and that we all try to play different ________ in the instrument of our life. Sometimes the pitch(音高) is ________ when we play it well, but sometimes we are out of tone. However, we all continue to create our own ________ style of music.
