次の英文を読んで、あとの問いに答えなさい。（各 4 点）

After spending a year in Tokyo, testing the waters of life in the capital, I decided
to break the language barrier by attending a language school.
When I was young, I was never a really good student. But I felt something wasdifferent this time. I had an extremely strong will that was lacking in my school days.
Two things motivated me: I was irresistibly attracted to (1)this country and its
language. Also, I had the strangest feeling of (2)a language but not being able
to understand it.
The school I chose to study at didn’t have any French students. The majority
were Korean, Chinese and Nepalese. People from different backgrounds gathered, andthe age difference in the class was sometimes awkward. But everyone was highly
motivated and focused in class. I had a feeling quite different (3) when I was younger:
We all wanted to be here.
For a while, I felt like I was stuck at the bottom of a mountain. But the teachers
had my back. The school had its own original textbooks that were written by veteran
instructors and a great method to help us learn. Teachers felt responsible for the3students.

Instructors knew exactly (4) they were doing and how to lead us to out goals.

A few years and a baby later, I am facing new language challenges. But thanks
to the guidance of amazing people in that year in school, I am finding my way in (5)themountain of the Japanese language.
