(2022·北京海淀·一模)It was January 2021. My second term in high school had just ended. Two weeks earlier, my parents checked my grades and ____1____ more than 20 missing tasks.
Bright and able as I was, I had often struggled(挣扎)with ____2____ and procrastination(拖延), especially with writing tasks. But this time was different, and the pandemic(疫情)was to blame. I was doing my first year partly from home where I did my schoolwork on my own time, and, for the most part, without teacher guidance.
The ____3____ was too much. I could do a million other things rather than my homework. I told my mom what I was missing from my teachers and classmates, “When a teacher walks around the classroom, you want to be on task, and you don’t want to fall behind the other students.”
My parents tried to help, but their ____4____ fell far short of their expectations. Tired from working long days, they criticized rather than advised. Late-night learning hours ended in ____5____ matches. All three of us were upset and stressed out.
We knew we couldn’t solve this alone. So when my mom heard that Steve Merrill, an experienced teacher, could help, she ____6____ out.
Mr. Merrill told me that his students also had problems in the same areas: task organization and time management. He taught me to break down big tasks into small ones. We met twice a week, over video, where we could look over my tasks and put the skill into practice. After a few months, I started to see positive results. My grades were improving. My work habits were becoming more regular. There were ____7____ late-night learning hours and fights.
The other evening I came downstairs to ask my parents for help with a writing task. There was something different. I had ____8____ most of it two days before the deadline! While I don’t expect this school year to be easy, I now have some of the tools I need to help me through it.
