Dear Shelly,
I am writing to apologize for not watering your lilies while you were away, that caused their death. Now let me explain what happened to me or my family. I was so busy preparing for coming exam that I had no time for other things. Also, my mother had her ankle injuring while she was walking . I had to take good care of her, who stay home alone. That was because I failed to water your favorite plant. I would like to buy some new ones as a compensation for its loss. Please forgive for me.
I sincere hope you can accept my apology.
For many years, I1.(convince) that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.
Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that 2.(change) our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing being thin equals being loved. We dream about 3.it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We make every effort 4.(realize) this dream. Then, at last , we find ourselves there. But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting 5.(happy), self-worth, and, of course, love.
It look me6.long while to know that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary7.culture to culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered to be attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More 8.(important), if it’s joy that we want, why put our energy on the size of our body? Why not look inside? We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with 9.cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward10., the whole world changes.
