Question Try to fill in the missing words: One thing I’d say I’m good at is sports. I’ve been BLANK 1 of 22 in some type of sport pretty much ever since I was six. I played soccer for about ten years, and I was BLANK 2 of 22 of my high school team. My parents wouldn’t let me play in any of the really competitive soccer leagues, though, because they wanted me to focus on my BLANK 3 of 22. When I went to college, I played terribly during tryouts and didn’t make the team – so that’s when I started getting more into volleyball instead. There was a group of students and BLANK 4 of 22 that would play twice a day – at lunchtime, and again in the evenings. It started out as a BLANK 5 of 22 pickup game, but we played so much that all the regulars ended up getting really good. We even organized a tournament, and my team got all the way to the BLANK 6 of 22 – which we lost by just a couple of points. But I really loved those volleyball games and I looked forward to them every day. I’ve also been into martial arts for many years, and I’ve gotten to train with some of the best BLANK 7 of 22 in the world. Two sports I’ve only tried a few times but would love to do more of are skiing and rock climbing. The first time I went climbing, I thought I was already in pretty good BLANK 8 of 22, but boy, did I feel it the next day! It must have worked muscles I don’t BLANK 9 of 22 use. As for what I’m not good at, the first thing that BLANK 10 of 22 to mind is cooking. I mean, I’m not terrible at it, I can make things that are edible – but I’m not a BLANK 11 of 22. I guess I’ve just never taken the time to learn. But it’s always felt like a hassle to me, and I get especially BLANK 12 of 22 when I have to cook for other people. One time I was gonna make BLANK 13 of 22 for a group of friends, and I decided to make brisket, which is beef that’s slow-cooked with lots of onions and garlic. My mom told me it’s virtually BLANK 14 of 22 to mess up, the only thing I had to remember was to always keep the pot BLANK 15 of 22 and never remove the lid. Well, I decided to test the recipe a BLANK 16 of 22 before the dinner, and I followed my mother’s instructions religiously. However, the pot I was using had a lid that didn’t BLANK 17 of 22 properly, and all the water inside evaporated, so the meat ended up BLANK 18 of 22 to the bottom and burning. I couldn’t bring myself to eat it, and I think I ended up giving it to the dog. Nowadays I can make a BLANK 19 of 22 brisket, but chicken and fish have been sorta hit-or-miss. I think some of the recipes I find on the internet are duds, because sometimes even when I BLANK 20 of 22 them perfectly, it still doesn’t turn out right. Luckily I married a man who knows his way around the BLANK 21 of 22; he’s a much better cook than me. But I’ve been experimenting with baking BLANK 22 of 22, and I made two successful batches of cookies – so maybe there’s hope for me yet! One thing I’d say I’m good at is sports.
