While I was waiting to go into university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school
about ten miles from where I _1_ . Because I was in great need of _2_ and wanted to do something
useful, I applied(申请).
Three days later, a letter _3_ . It asked me to see the _4_ at Croydon. It proved to
be a(n) _5_ journey -a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of _6_ a
quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. Clearly, the principal _7_
opened the door. He was _8_ and round."
The school" he said, "has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen." I should have to
teach all the _9_ except art, which he taught himself.
I should have to divide the class into _10_ groups and teach them at three different _11_ , and I
was not 12_ at the thought of teaching maths -a subject which I didn't do very well in at school. It
was 13_ that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon 14_ most of my friends would be 15_
themselves at
that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. "Now," he said. "you'd better
meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.
