When I was a kid, I did not like to play the piano. My parents asked me to practice the piano every day, but I just
42 to go out and play with my classmates. I was so bored with practicing the same piece of music for hours that I
almost gave it 43 . When I was ten years old, I began my piano lessons with an 44 teacher, Beth, who allowed
me to choose the piece I would like to play and urged me to play for the pleasure of the music. Instead of criticizing me,
she encouraged me and taught me to have self confidence. I also learned from Beth that the beauty of music comes from
passion rather than from techniques. I am grateful to her 45 introducing me to the wonderful world of music.
Now I enjoy playing the piano. I practice not for my parents but for 46 . Playing the piano can be a lot of fun.
