A
Five years ago,I was sent to a better middle school.For me,everything there was new and strange.After I had been there for two months,there was an important test in the middle of the term.It covered all my courses.In that test,I didn’t get a good grade,but most of my classmates got an A.
It made me upset for a long time.I felt everything in the world was changing.I thought my classmates were all better than me.During those days I was very unhappy.
One day,my aunt,after talking with my teachers,talked to me.She told me to think about what I had done in the past and what I should do in the future.I was shocked by her words.I thought about what I had done during the past months,and I found I had done nothing to improve my grades.I thought I should work harder.
After that,I paid more attention to the teachers’ talking in the classes,and I asked my teachers or my classmates when I didn’t understand something.I studied very late at night when I met with difficult problems.Most of all,I came to understand the importance of taking notes in class.As a result,I did better in some tests.
About three months later,the most important test came at the end of the term.This time,I stood out not only in my class but also in the grade.From then on,I have tried to do my best when I do something because I know if I want something,I should work hard for it.
