(2)…………………………….The girl I was walking with appeared to be very intelligent and talkative. While we were having a very interesting chat about the places she has been in her life I noticed a funny thing. (3)……………………………… She looked as she was having a stroll with her best friend, talking confidently and telling her secrets.
Later that night when we came back, my tutor asked me if I liked my job and then said: never let prejudice to guide you and never let pity to make you do things.
