1: Read and answer the questions.
In the first year of lower secondary school I had some difficulties in learning English. My pronunciation of English words was really bad and my English grammar was worse. I did not know how to improve them. One afternoon after school, my teacher of English told me to wait for her outside the classroom. She took me to the school library and show me cassettes of pronunciation drills kept in a glass bookcase. She also told me how to use an English – English dictionary to improve my English grammar. “ Now I think you know what you should do,” she said. I did not know that only one year later I would win the first prize in the English Speaking Contest held for secondary school students in my home town.

FRIENDS AGAIN - FOREVER!
Mary Allen was my best friend - like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.
When I was eighteen, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special occasions - like my wedding and Mary's. Soon we were busy with our children and moving to our new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back and stamped: " Address Unknown" I had no idea how to find Mary.
Over the years I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sorrow when my brother and mother died. There was an empty space in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.
One day I was reading the newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman - Mary's married name. " There must be thousands of Wagman " I thought but I wrote to her anyway.
She called as soon as she got my letter. " Mrs. Tobin! " she said excitedly. " Mary Allen Wagman is my mother. ". Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized instantly, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other's lives.
Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there's one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We won't lose each other again!
