1 started school when I was six and I went to the local (1) nursery/ primary school. I liked it very much; the (2) classes/ lessons were small and the (3) teachers/ professors were very friendly. At eleven I changed and went to fifth form of (4) college/ secondary school. Things didn't go so well here. I hated studying (5) subjects/ courses like Biology and Physics and I got terrible (6) points/ marks in tests. My parents tried to (7) teach/ learn me the things I didn't understand, but it was no good. I used to get very worried about my end-of-year exams and one year, even though I spent a lot of time (8) revising/ reviewing, I knew I wouldn't (9) pass/ succeed. In the end I was right - I (10) failed/ missed all the exams and had to (11) retake/ remake them all a few months later. That was the worst year of my school life, but it didn't stop me having a good (12) coursel career as an engineer.
