Question

Before the day I stepped into junior high school, I had always thought that as long as I could read, speak, and listen well, English will be a “no problem” _____ for me, and that English grammar was a piece of cake. My father _____ to tell me the importance of grammar but I just wouldn’t listen. I didn’t understand what’s so important about the whole “grammar” thing.

This misunderstanding didn’t last long. Something unexpected happened. It was only _____that day, and I would never forget that day. I was just a young and seventh grader when our English teacher ____ to give us a quiz on English grammar. We had to fill in blanks. After I read the sentence in question number one, different kinds of answers which I thought were possible came into my mind. All of them seemed right and made sense to me, but there was only one _____ answer to it, but I didn’t know which one exactly. I was shocked, but I said to myself “never mind”, and went on to question number two. Unexpectedly, the same trouble that just happened, appeared right in front of me again, and it just kept happening again and again until I heard our teacher say _____“Time’s up.” I had to turn in my answer sheet ______ so many unsure answers on it.

I was really sad about the whole thing. And since then, I’ve ____ that in English, writing grammar is quite different from spoken grammar. My father had been trying to tell me the important role grammar plays in learning English. Well, it’s _____ too late to learn anything, including ENGLISH! So, I started to work on my grammar skills, and thanks to that bad ____, I really learned a lot from it! Now, I’m still on my journey of learning grammar, and I am enjoying it.
