“If the opportunity (raises/rises/arises), I really want to be a college student,” Lily kept repeating to herself. She lived in the remote (rural/rustic/pastoral) areas in southern part of Taiwan. Back in the 1950s, it was so hard to earn a living. The ratio of people who (received/accepted) tertiary education to those who did not have the privilege was incredibly low by today’s standards. However, Lily never thought about giving it up. At 20, she worked part-time as a receptionist, who confirmed (reservations/saving/ conserving/preserving) with guests and did the bookkeeping, in a hotel. When she was off duty, she went to a library nearby to prepare for the college entrance exam. Years later, she made her way into a prestigious law school. Lily is a famous, well-(respectable/ respected/respectful) scholar now and an inspiration for people who are in the same situation like she was.
