lady in a flowery dress was sitting on a sofa.
Emily 32 awkwardly(别扭地)in front of the lady. She cleared her throat and said, “Good afternoon.
I’m Emily.”
“Good afternoon, Emily. Take a seat, please.” Mrs. Blair replied.
Then, 33 filled the space between them. Emily wondered what to say.
“Tell me about yourself, Emily,” Mrs. Blair said suddenly.

Mrs. Blair didn’t seem to 35 . “Many people, especially teens, don’t seem to care about old people

“Cool! Can you tell me about it?” Emily asked, amazed.

Emily 39 opened the box and was surprised to see what was inside. “It’s the bracelet that you
wore. Thank you!” Emily said, with tears in her eyes. “I’m sure to visit you whenever I’m free.”

made a 40 that she would keep her word to Mrs. Blair.
