阅读下面短文,在文章空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Chinese language is said to be difficult to learn. Is this true? 【小题1】 my opinion, it depends.
At the age of 13, I started 【小题2】 (take) Chinese classes and speaking Chinese at school in the UK. It was a subject that could make the classroom deadly silent 【小题3】 it was difficult to learn. But when I came to China last year, I found that learning Chinese could be 【小题4】 (enjoy).
After I moved to Beijing, I lived with local people. As 【小题5】 language lover, I would try to talk with local people in Chinese, sharing details (细节) of our everyday life. Sometimes we would also go to KTV together.
When I 【小题6】 (step) into the KTV room for the first time, the atmosphere (气氛) there was 【小题7】 (complete) different from that of a classroom. But this was where the learning would take place. With every note I sang, I began to understand the characters. 【小题8】 (spend) time with others made the process of learning less like work and more like fun. As I sang with native Chinese 【小题9】 (speak), it finally began to click (豁然开朗). This was an environment where I could lose 【小题10】 (I) in the Chinese language and culture while still expressing myself.
