    As a child, I started learning to play the piano, my favorite musical   41  ,but I was forced to give up when I started my middle school   42   I could concentrate more on my studies.
 It’s one of my biggest   43   to stop practicing the piano when I recall sadly today. During the following years, I kept telling my piano teacher that I would  44  . However, I didn’t keep my promise because I was   45   with my study.   46   I lost touch with my teacher. Some years later, my teacher died. I was very sad because I lost such a good teacher. She was a very warm and gentle person. It hurts me to think she may have been   47   that I never returned. I haven’t taken lessons since then but to be honest, I   48   to. Sitting at the piano, I couldn’t help recalling many   49  -- times of my practising at home and playing before my teacher and one time my teacher   50   me after I played entire pieces of music wrong in front of her colleagues. I was so   51   that I could hardly say anything. But her  52   helped ease my shame. These memories,   53  , good or bad, never caused my   54   for playing the piano again.
 This thought then led me to think that  55  is like music, and that we all try to play different   56  in the instrument of our life. Sometimes the pitch(音高) is   57  when we play it well, but sometimes we are out of tone. However, we all continue to create our own   58  style of music. No matter what style our music is, it is   59   that we sing the songs of joy, quietness and love. Though I may never make it back to piano lessons, it doesn’t  60   that I’ve stopped making music.
