The story happened on a hot heavy rainy day.
After class, I took a few bottles to go and 36 some water from the water room. Oh! There were so many people! I had to wait 37 the rain. My hair didn't get wet because I wore a hat, but my clothes 38 .
When at last it was my 39 , I filled the bottles as quickly as possible. I began making my way back when I saw a boy 40 towards me. He 41 two umbrellas in his hand. He shouted hello and as he came 42 , I recognized that it was Tom.
He 43 my classmate for nearly three years, but we never 44 more than ten sentences. He was silent, but I liked talking. We were quite 45 people and had nothing in common. I didn't 46 him and even didn't want to see him.
"Hey! What's wrong?" His words 47 me out of my thought. "I saw you 48 in the rain, so I brought you this umbrella. But it seems a little 49 , your clothes are already wet,"
On hearing this, I was so 50 that I couldn't say a single word.
"Don't just stand there. Let's go!" He said and held the umbrella for me. We walked towards 51 and this time we talked 52 .
"I know you don't like me, but I want to 53 with you." he said, "You may think I am silent, but it is because I can't find the right 54 to say."
The rain finally stopped and we saw a rainbow in the blue sky. I said to myself, "It is wrong to 55 someone only by his appearance.

My boss’s daughter was studying in the Philippines. He asked me if my husband and I could take care of her. He thought his daughter would be able to improve her English communication skills in this way.
After days of thinking, we agreed. He then brought her here and left after 3 days. I thought that my boss’s daughter was well-mannered, but that was wrong.
After a month of staying in the Philippines, she started to show her true colors. When my husband asked her what she wanted for breakfast, she answered him in a rude way. From then on, we experienced fights at home. There was a time when we didn’t talk to her for a week as a punishment of not being good to us. What I hated most was that she didn’t care about other people’s feelings. She ate ahead of us when we were still working and didn’t leave anything for us. So we had to separate her food from ours to avoid such a problem.
The worst thing about her was that she shouted at us. I was wondering if she did this to her parents. We told this to her parents, but unfortunately I didn’t think that solved the problem. This situation lasted for almost 8 months. Our patience was tested during that time.
We tried to teach her everything we could to make her a better person, but I guess 8 months may not to be enough. We even tried to understand her and adjust for her, but it didn’t work. I just hope that she learned something from us and from other Filipinos.
