I started to love running at a young age. I loved to race my father and my sister around the backyard. I wished I could run in the Olympics and win lots of medals.

One day my mother 　41 an advertisement for a race in a newspaper. “Would you be 　42 in taking part in this race ? ” she asked me, pointing to the advertisement.

　 “Yes, of course.” I answered.

　　 I ____43___ the next few days practicing for my big race. My sister set up a table in the backyard so she could offer me water and 　44　 me.
