PART 6 – SHORT READING COMPREHENSION (56–60)
Last year, I missed the opportunity of a lifetime. A famous photographer offered me a job in Paris, but I said no because I was afraid to move. If I had accepted, I would be living in France now, learning from the best. But if I had gone, I wouldn’t have met my current boss, who gave me another amazing chance here in London. Sometimes I think about it — if I had been braver, maybe my life would look different. But now I know that if we always regret the past, we forget to appreciate the present.
