　　The idea of becoming a writer had come to me since my childhood, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that I was sure I could 1 it. Until then I'd been 2 by everything with English. I found grammar dull and I 3 the homework.

　　However, things changed when one day Mr Fleagle--my third-year English teacher handed out a homework sheet 4 us a choice of topics for writing essays(作文) for the week. As usual I took the list home and did 5 until the night before the essay was 6 . Lying on the sofa, I finally faced up to the 7 task and the 8 on which my eyes stopped was“The Art of Eating Spaghetti(通心粉)”. Soon it recalled me of the beautiful and vivid 9 of one night when my family were seated around the supper table, having 10 .

　　Suddenly I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy 11 I would break the rules of formal essay, I'd learned in school and Mr Fleagle would surely give it a 12 grade. Two days passed 13 Mr Fleagle returned the graded paper, and he returned everyone's 14 mine. I was 15 myself for an order from Mr Fleagle to 16 after school for punishment when I saw him lift my paper and knock for the class's attention. To my 17 , he started to read my words! The entire class laughed with open-hearted enjoyment.

　　I did my best to 18 showing pleasure, but what I was feeling was pure delight that my words had the 19 to make people laugh. When Mr Fleagle finished, he made my happiness 20 by saying, “Congratulations, Mrs Baker.”
