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. 

      In modern recycling plants, 18 can handle the metals and the glass, but people must separate the plastic by hand,so when people put out the garbage, they must separate the recyclable 19 the non-recyclable materials. Recycling is not a new idea. In emergencies like droughts and wars, people have recycled all kinds of materials andhave been very 20 about how much water and electricity they used. Today we must protect our planet Earth bybringing back the old habit of recycling.
