My holiday was about two months long and the first thing I wanted to do was to get my driving license, so I called the driving school to make sure of my ________ time, after that, I booked a room to make sure my friend and I have a place to stay when we ________ there.

So everything went on well ________the test-day finally arrive! I’m both excited and ________. I took the school bus and when I got there I went to the ________ first. Something happened when I came out of the restroom. I ________ over and broke my right foot.

OMG! I didn’t know what to do so I called my mom and she ________ me up and we wet to the hospital at once. ________ the doctor said, “It is fine. You didn’t hurt the ________, but it will take almost two months to recover.” That was disappointing, and I was totally ________.

Through those painful days I had nothing to do but ________ the Internet and read books about some disabled persons who are not ________ by their physical problems These books would help me ________ sooner. It was so amazing! After reading the books my ________ seemed to become better and better, day after day! And I began to feel better ________ myself and about my foot I started to use the ________ “thank you” more often than before and most importantly, I started to think ________.

Things do change when your ________ changes. I soon recovered and could walk again. After coming back from my trip, I went to ________ my driving test, and it went very well. I ________ it without any difficulties. I’m a driver now!

A few days ago I was sitting in a Thai restaurant enjoying a meal when I got on a phone call from a friend I hadn’t spoken to for a long time. In my enthusiasm and ________ I talked slightly louder than usual voice and in Spanish, my mother tongue.

A few minutes into the ________, the lady sitting at the beside mine got up, seemingly _______, and asked the restaurant staff to a table as far away as possible from the man who wouldn’t ________ his phone.

I sank in my seat out of ________. I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to go over and ________. Before getting up I looked around to see where she was, ________, at the table furthest away from me.

I noticed that the day was ________ and staring out of the window. I ________ a tinge of sadness — perhaps a desire for aloness and peace. But I had ________ destroyed it minutes earlier. Right then ________ my plans for a conventional apologetic gesture. Seeing the Smile Cards in my wallet I took one out. On signing my restaurant bill I asked my server to ________ charge the lady’s meal to my credit card and hand her the Smile Card instead of her bill.

Did she take it the wrong way, I ________? Did she get confused? Did she refuse the anonymous________? And so on. I just waited and felt nervous to learn the ________. To my pleasant surprise, things ________ to be the best possible way.

The waiter approached me in a stream of ________, telling me, “In many times she had ________ there before, but we had never seen the old lady smile as she did upon ________ the Smile Card and the $0 check. She thanked me even through I ________ that someone else did the job.”

He, handsome and attractive though small, is 73 this year, but looks much younger than he actually is. My mom got the_______from my grandpa. And thank God so did. You can never imagine how genuinely _______and fascinating he could be. My grandpa absolutely leads a _______life of old age, unlike other retired elderly people just walking with their pet birds, or _______time at home as couch potatoes do.

He takes to cooking tasty cuisine, singing Karaoke, collecting antiques, and experiencing brand new dimensions of cultures. “Stopping to smell the roses and passing on the happiness is a _______factor of people’s happy life,” he always _______his peers.

“He is always doing everything with his_______— so cool and enviable!” my grandpa’s friends remarked. They also_______my grandpa for his blog where he writes much,_______his distinct opinion of life. One night his blog caught my eye. There was a________, at the very beginning, of him hugging my grandma with fireworks blooming on Times Square last Valentine’s Day. “People say reality________and fantasy begins when the fireworks display starts, but for me both________a great deal. I take g reat joy in everyday life________I can hold the hands of my love,” he said beneath the photo.

I couldn’t believe those were from my grandpa, I mean, from a 73-year-old person. Now I finally see the true meaning of the saying that ________is not a time of life but a state of mind. I love my grandpa for the interesting and romantic________he has.
