Oh, why is english such a difficult language! i think it is (difficult) french. sometimes i feel that my english is getting (bad), not (good)\ when you first start learning english, it seems (easy) other languages and the grammar looks (much/simple). however, when you become a little (advanced), it gets a lot (complicated). there are also so many words in english! the dictionary i bought when i first came to britain is far too simple. i'm already looking for something (big) and (comprehensive)".b. 1. two weeks ago i went down town to buy a birthday present for my (old) sister. you couldn't meet (wonderful) person than her. she is one of (charming) women i know she is also (generous-hearted) person i've ever met. mother says she could be a bit (tidy) than she is. anyway, the present 1 wanted to buy her had to be (good) i could afford. eventually, i came across (beautiful) scarf i had ever seen. imagine my disappointment when 1 discovered the next day that mother had bought her exactly the came scarf.2. one of (embarrassing) experiences that can happen to anyone is to meet i old friends, and not recognize them. i once had to welcome a group of students at the airport. i knew (old) person, a madame dufort, would be in charge of them, and when the group appeared, this woman came towards i me; smiling, and said: "doctor, what a pleasant surprise! " if i had been i (quick) and (intelligent) i would have said brightly: "how nice to see you, i my dear! ' as if she were my (old) friend, but i just stood there, my face i getting (red) and (red), trying to remember her. the (bad) thing about it was k that she got even (embarrassed) than i was, and said: "you don't remember i me," still not giving me (slight) clue. fortunately, my wife, who is (quick- i thinking) and (well-mannered) than i am, said: "of course he does, nicole, i but he's (absent-minded) person in the world". nicole had been a student of mine years before, but she looked much (old), her hair was going grey, and [• her face had more lines on it than is usual at her age. she had got married, too, i so her name was changed, and i find names (easy) to remember than faces.
