In fact,I think I cried very little when I was saying_________ to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving,I even felt a little_________because I thought about all the places I was going to see﹣the strange and________places I had known only from books and pictures.

I had to do many things for the family since I knew English better than everyone else at home._________things got better and better later and almost all common troubles_________at last.From those experiences I have learned one important rule:Something good is certain to happen in the end.________you do not give up,and just wait a little!
