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 ease my shame. These memories, _________, good or bad, never caused my _________ for playing the piano again.
