　　I had been in London for two years. During the time I was 1 there, my strong wish was to 2 instead of staying in the city I didn't know well. 　　

　So when the day came for my 3 .I had a strange feeling and my mind was full of beautiful things in London-the tall trees around my 　4 , the clean streets, the school library, the old church(教堂)near the school and so on. I was for the first time not sure 5 I really wish to go. I was becoming good at spoken English and interested in the different way of living in London. Most important of all. I did not want to leave my 6 who were near and dear to me during the two long years. I felt like running into the head teacher's office and telling him that I really didn't want to go home. But on the second thought I stopped myself 7 the plan. My parents are quite old and I might have no time to see them again if I gave up this plan.　　

　　At the airport, most of my teachers and friends came to see me off and quite a few gave me 8 .Many group photos were taken and before long the final moment came. Everyone shook hands with me and said goodbye to me. Their eyes 9 tears and I knew they were 10 at the moment.
