REVISION
Read Lili's story about migrating to Russia and make it more informative, precise, and interesting by choosing the suitable adverbs.
My father got a job in Moscow when I was a teenager. The parents decided that my mother, my brother, and me would join him a year
{later;earlier;soon}
when I'd finished primary school. I
{still;finally;never}
remember that summer day, how I cried
{bitterly;eventually;completely}
saying goodbye to everyone and leaving everything I knew
{behind;silently;happily}
. On the plane, I
{silently;finally;still}
gazed through the window feeling
{completely;differently;happily}
lost and wasn't feeling
{any;soon;still}
better a couple of hours later when we
{finally;strongly;somehow}
landed. Leaving the plane, I felt a strange wind that blew
{strongly;bitterly;eventually}
, breathed the air that smelt
{differently;somehow;completely}
, listened to strange people speaking a different yet
{somehow;soon;suddenly}
familiar language. We took a taxi and
{soon;almost;still}
arrived at Moscow. I was amazed by
{unusually;almost;eventually}
wide roads and large buildings. It got dark when we arrived to the new home. Father opened the door and he hugged us so
{tightly;silently;differently}
we
{almost;then;still}
couldn't breathe.
{Then;Unusually;Somehow}
he showed us around our new home. While we were all
{happily;suddenly;almost}
chatting in the living room furnished in the imperial style, I
{suddenly;still;differently}
felt that I could love that place and that it could become my new home.
{Eventually;Strongly;Completely}
, it did.

"My mother did not want to go to America: this much I knew. I knew it by the way she became distracted and impatient with my sister, by the way she stopped tucking us into bed at night. I knew it from watching her feet, which began to shuffle after my father announced the move, as though they threw down invisible roots that needed to be pulled out with each step." (Catherine Chung, Forgotten Country) mother's unwillingness to go to America:{feet_with_invisible_roots;putting_children_to_sleep;father_announcing_the_move}

"Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey." (Tad Williams) not relying on outer conditions for happiness:{home_inside_one's_head;need_to_furnish_homes;love_of_learning}

"Settling into a new country is like getting used to a new pair of shoes. At first they pinch a little, but you like the way they look, so you carry on. The longer you have them, the more comfortable they become. Until one day without realizing it you reach a glorious plateau. Wearing those shoes is like wearing no shoes at all. The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can't imagine life without them." (Tahir Shah, In Arabian Nights: A Caravan of Moroccan Dreams) migrants' feeling at home in a new country:{not_wearing_any_shoes;wearing_new_shoes;pinching_shoes}
