I Dislike Filling up Forms
Of all things in the world, I most dislike filling up forms; in fact, I have a positive horror of it. Applying for a driving license, (51) for an evening course, booking a holiday abroad—everything nowadays seems to involve (52) information about one’s personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter (53) hand. When I apply for a job, it may be of some obscure interest to a (54) employer to learn that I collect stamps or had measles as a child, but why (55) he conceivably wants to know that my father was a tobacconist who died in 1988?

Do I suffer from any personal defects? Well, I wear (59) lenses and my upper teeth are not my own, but perhaps the word “defects” (60) to my character. Am I supposed to (61) that I like gambling, and find it difficult to get up in the morning? Both of them are true.

(65) hard I try, there always seems to be a year or two for which I cannot satisfactorily account and which I am certain, if left blank, will give the impression that I was in prison or engaged in some occupation too dubious to mention.
