Read the texts and do the following tasks (10 points)
In
class I was very slow, untidy and silent. I trembled with worry nearly all the
time. Sums were a mystery to me: I just couldn't add or multiply. The squared
paper on which we did sums still makes me unhappy whenever I use it. Reading
lessons were a little better, because I didn't mind books. When I first started
school, I was able to read fairly well, but there were occasional words that
puzzled me and held me up. After a few weeks of patient struggling, confidence seemed
to burst inside my head: I heard myself reading big words aloud, without much
hesitation, and soon I found I could read fluently. The last word to puzzle me
was "laugh". I remember poring over this odd word in my reader. The
sentence ran: "And so the princess began to laugh and laugh and
laugh."What could it be that the princess had begun to do? I was reading
aloud, the class listening hard to catch my words, for I had a very soft voice.
I came to the first "laugh", got my tongue round the "f",
voiced the "a" and - it was like a miracle! - the "f' sound
followed as if instinctively. "Laugh!" I said, very slowly. As the
other two "laughs" came with increasing confidence I really felt like
laughing myself, for the first time since I had started school.

"true" or "false".
