Since my family were not going to be helpful, I decided to look for
one all by myself and not tell them about it till I got one.

an agency advertised in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the 36 in search of it. I was widely
excited, and as 37 as if I were going on the stage. Finding
the 38 quite easily, I ran breathlessly through
a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”

atmosphere of the office 39 me. The woman looked carefully at me 40 through her glasses, and then 41 me in a low voice. I answered softly. All
of a sudden I started to feel rather 42 . She wondered why I was looking for
this sort of 43 . I felt even more helpless when she
told me that it would be 44 to get a job without 45 . I wondered whether I ought to
leave, 46 the telephone on her desk rang. I heard
her say:
“ 47
, I’ve got someone in the 48 at this very moment who might 49 ”. She wrote down a 50 , and held it to me, saying: “Ring
up this lady. She wants a 51 immediately. In fact, you would have to

life. I 53 her again and again, and rushed out
to the 54 telephone box. I collected my thoughts,
took a deep breath, and rang the number. I said confidently that I was just
what she was looking for.
I spent the
next few hours 55 cook books.
