It will be better than _________ computer games all day.” I promised to do 2,000 words each day, but soon I found _________ was hard to keep the promise.

One day in May, the_________ was beautiful. But I couldn’t go out. Those 2,000 words were still _________ me. After translating only three pages, I already lost _________ in the book.

I just wanted to give up. I felt as if two people were fighting __________ my mind. One said, “Don’t give up! Keep working hard, and you’ll do well!” But then __________ said, “Go and play!
