When I was young we ___ in a big house in the countryside.

On summer mornings my brother and I ___ while everyone else was asleep.

We ___ breakfast and then go quietly out of the house to the river.

We ___ hours fishing in a small boat belonging to my grandmother.

My brother ___ the names of all the different types of fish that were in the river.

We would often fall asleep in the boat and our father ___ to find us.

But Dad ___ angry because he had done the same when he was a kid.

Once I ___ an enormous fish. I was so happy!

I ___ a really sporty person.

In my first year at university, I ___ for an hour every morning before breakfast.

Then I ___ the university boxing team and I really started to train hard.

During that time, I ___ to spend at least two hours in the gym every day.

When I started my training, I ___ my diet completely.

I ___ three eggs with toast and fruit for breakfast.

I ___ sugar in my tea because it wasn't on my diet plan.

But then I ___ my arm and that was the end of my boxing career!
