He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples.

Here in Brazil we started to have English classes in high school. When I finished school, I wasn’t good at English. But later, I found it interesting to listen to English songs and watch English films. So I decided to study English at Fisk School when I was thirty-five years old.
