My parents always told me that I couldn’t dance, because it was a girl’s sport. But I never _______ my dream of becoming a dancing star. I practiced secretly, learning from books, movies, and shows.
However, without my parents’ support, that dreams seemed all but(几乎)impossible to reach.
One summer, my little sister Maggie was going to dance lessons. I immediately asked my parents _______ permission(允许) that I could take her to the lessons. What a(n) _______ chance to learn dancing!
One afternoon, I was practicing a new dance in my room when Maggie walked in. “What’s the matter, Maggie?” I stopped dancing. “Denis, you are a great _______! Can you help me?” “What is it?” I wanted to know. “There will be a dancing performance in my school, _______ the boys think I’m slow, and no one wants to be my partner. Could you dance with me for it?” she _______ me hopefully.
“You can be a good dancer!” I encouraged her. “Let’s show those people that they have been _______ all along(自始至终)”.
In the following months, we practiced every evening, hiding from my parents and soon Maggie _______ a lot.
Finally came the big day. My parents came to watch the _______. I felt nervous at first, but as the music began, I _______ focused (集中注意力) on dancing. We were successful and my parents were very proud of us.
