But I still needed help with my 11 ---I couldn't speak Spanish without a strong American 12 . When I spoke to Mr Garcia about my 13 , he said that I could go to the language lab 14 my pronunciation and that I would 15 him and his family at the weekend.

    Let’s see  11  starting off with a good fifteen-minute workout of the smile muscles  12  me during the day．Before entering an office I  13  think of the many things I had to be  14  for，work up a big smile and then enter．Seldom did it fail to get the same smile  15  from the person I met．I also found that it  16   people when I passed them on the street to give them a  17  smile．
