Not long after, I 　50　 　about a poetry competetion and I decided to send in my poem. Weeks later, long 　51　 　I had given up hope, I got a letter infoming me that I had won the first 　52　 . Everyone at school 　53　 　for it except the geography teacher, who 　54　 　me more carefully than ever. He was quite 　55　 　that I was not going to write poetry in his lesson!
