І (сдал все остальные экзамены) at my University, but I always (проваливался по) botany. This was because all botany students had to (проводить несколько часов в неделю) in a laboratory looking through a microscope, which was something I couldn't (привыкнуть). I could never see through a microscope. It wasn't my (вина) really, but it (бывало расстраивало) my professor. He usually walked around the lab extremely (довольный) the progress of the students, until he came to me. "I can't see anything," I said. He (очень хорошо умел) explaining and he did all he, could to make me see through a microscope. І (едва) understood what it was all about. I couldn't (даже предcтавить себе) what he wanted me to see. І (всегда отставал от) the others. І (честно делал все возможное) but I felt I would never (догнать остальную группу).
I took a deferred pass as they called it, and waited a year and tried again. I had no (выбора). You had to (сдать экзамены по одной из биологических наук) or you couldn’t (получить диплом об окончании). The professor had come back from vacation (полный желания объяснять) cell-structure again to his classes. "Well," he said to me hopefully, when we met in the (самый) first laboratory hour of the semester, "We're going to see cells this time, aren't we?" "Yes, sir," I said. Students to right of me and to left of me and in front of me were seeing cells. (Что касается меня) I only saw what (было похоже на) a lot of milk.
The professor was extremely (разочарован). Не (переживал) it real hard. He (предупредил) me that it was my last (шанс).
I had been looking through the microscope for some time when to my great pleasure and (удивлению) a lot of different coloured dots (появились) on the glass. They (напоминали мне что-то) but I couldn't (точно) remember what. (Мне очень повезло.) I (протянул руку за) my notebook and (начал делать заметки). The professor (поспешил) to my desk and stood (рядом с) me. He looked at my notes. "What's that?" he cried out (в возбуждении). "That's what I saw," I (объяснил). "you didn't, you didn't, you didn't! (С тобой покончено')" His voice (поднялся) in a loud cry. He (утратил) control of himself. He looked into the microscope. "That's your eye!" he cried. "You've arranged the lens so that it reflects! You've got your eye there!"
