He said that he __________________ (TEACH) me some basic skating skills the next Saturday but disappeared for weeks. At first, I wanted to give the skates to someone else but I __________________ (NOT/CAN) think of anybody who met both requirements to be keen on roller skating and to have the same size feet as mine. So, I put the skates on the shelf in the pantry and __________________ (FORGET) about them. What are these? my mum asked. She saw the skates when she __________________ (TIDY) up the pantry, Why do you never go skating? I __________________ (GO) skating if I could skate. But unfortunately I cant, I said. And its better to learn to skate in childhood, isnt it? Right, Mum nodded, But you have no choice. Youll never be any __________________ (YOUNG) than you are now. That sounded like a good reason to start something new. I put the skates in my rucksack and headed to the park. There

__________________ (BE) lots of skaters in the park. Most of __________________ (THEY) moved gracefully and effortlessly. Some looked really clumsy.
