解析
1. 第一个空需要填入一个副词来修饰动词grow，所给词quick的副词形式是quickly。
2. 第二个空根据six可知需要填入month的复数形式months。
3. 第三个空前后是转折关系，用but连接。
4. 第四个空在instead of后面，of是介词，后面接动词的-ing形式，所以填paying。
5. 第五个空表示“参加了一个为期一周的DIY课程”，用不定冠词a。
6. 第六个空修饰动词works，用副词hard，as...as中间用原级。
7. 第七个空根据Last month可知用一般过去时，receive的过去式是received。
8. 第八个空表示“我自己”，用反身代词myself。
9. 第九个空表示目的，用动词不定式to save。
10. 第十个空引导宾语从句，在从句中作方式状语，用how。
