Cathy:Well,to be honest,it was quite 1 (disappoint).
Julia:You didn’t like the speeches?
Cathy:Yes,I did.In fact,I 2 (enjoy)listening to most of the speeches.But I just couldn’t accept the result,you know.
Julia:Hmm,you mean the judges?
Cathy:I mean,most of the listeners 3 (include)me didn’t understand 4 the judges didn’t like Samantha.It was such a shock when they announced the 5 (win)was Jim.We all thought Samantha’s 6 (pronounce)was the best.
Julia:You’re probably right.But don’t you think the speech 7 (it)is more important?As I see it,Jim’s speech was more 8 (mean).I was deeply moved by the story he told us.
Cathy:I know now.In my opinion,we also learned something very important 9 Samantha’s speech.
Julia:That’s right.Samantha and Jim were indeed very close.I guess it was difficult for the judges.
Cathy:Well,I wish I could agree with you. 10 I do think Samantha was the best.
