My mother and my father are very different people. Mum is always very calm, not exactly easy-going, because she (76) does take things very seriously sometimes, but she doesn’t get excited. When we (77) were small she almost never shouted at us. When we (78) did something wrong, she talked to us about it very firmly, but in a calm tone of (79) voice. If we shouted and cried, she made us go and sit (80) by ourselves in her sewing room (81) until we calmed down. So when the news came, she reacted in her usual way, quietly seeing what she could do to prepare (82) for the changes that were coming. Dad, on the other (83) hand, shouted, kicked a chair, and went for a long walk to try and cool off. During the next few days, he was cross with us a lot of the time, which upset us, as nothing was our fault. All of us kids were worried (84) about what was going to happen, and a (85) bit afraid, but we didn’t talk to our parents much. Most of all we were sad about having to leave all of our school friends.
