I tried to follow her ________ in every way. “That’s good! You’re moving your feet like you should. But remember to relax when you start to go down. Let’s try again,” Mrs. Burks said.

So I did. When I began losing my balance, I crumpled (倒下) to the floor, ________. Mrs. Burks was right! It didn’t ________ as much. I was able to get up faster and try again.

Later I began to see how Mrs. Burks’ guidance worked for other ________. As long as I kept trying to do my best , I could learn something even when I ________ in those dark moments of my life. I could get back up, try again, and trust someone would be there to help me.

Koch has noticed more wildlife around his home in Ottawa, but he had ________ seen an animal this impressive before. He rushed outside and ________ the solar cover off the poor moose, who continued swimming around the pool, proving to be a ________ skilled swimmer.
