After my husband died suddenly from a heart attack, my world crashed around me. I was overwhelmed (不知所措) with the      of earning a living,      the little children.

One     evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd (牧羊犬) on our   . This wonderful strong animal      to enter the house and make it his     . The children took an instant liking to “German” and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement until the next day,     we could inquire around the neighborhood for his   . That night I slept      for the first time in many weeks.

The following morning we      to find German’s owner, but with no results. On Sunday I took the children on a picnic and we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were      to see German racing to the gas station after us.     was he going to be left behind.

On Monday morning I let him out for a run when the children got ready for school. As evening came and German didn’t appear, we were all     . The next Friday evening, German was back on our doorstep. Again we took him in, and again he stayed      Monday morning. This pattern repeated itself every weekend for almost 10 months. We grew more and more      of German. We stopped thinking about      he belonged — he belonged to us. As German became part of the family, he considered      his duty to take up his position by the front door and remained there until the morning.

Each week, between German’s visits, I grew a little stronger, a little braver; every weekend I enjoyed his     . Then one Monday morning we      his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back. I believe German was sent because he was needed, and because no matter how     and alone we feel, somehow, somewhere, someone knows and cares. We are never really alone.

We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.
