When it was over 20 years ago, I first met Mr. Andrews, my old headmaster. During the war (战争) I was studying at school in the north of England. My 1 had just returned to London, and there were not 2 schools left for children. My father had to go from one school to another, trying to 3 them to take me as a pupil. We had 4 to all the schools near our home, but no one would take me. 5 , we went to a school about five kilometers 6 form home. The headmaster kept us waiting for at least 7 . I could hear boys playing on the playground outside.
When the headmaster's secretary (秘书) let us 8 his office, Mr. Andrews said," 9 do you want to come here?" I had 10 of saying something about studying, 11 now I couldn't remember anything, only thought of the boys playing outside. "I don't know 12 in London," I said. "I'd like to play with 13 boys. I'll read a lot of books, too." "All right," Mr. Andrews said. "We have one seat 14 ." My two years at that school were 15 the happiest of my life.
