Passage ***
I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the 21 celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not 22 much from the war there, though, like most children of my age, I often saw 23 houses in the streets and the very big 24 lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become 25 to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously, 26 had been better, though I was too young to understand why, 27 there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had 28 heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very 29 to me. I did not remember what London was like.

Everyone was cheering and shouting.
I stood beside my father until the 38 started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had 39 in the First World War and remembered everything he had experienced. At last he said, “Well, that’s it, son. Let’s hope that this time it really will be the 40 one”
