When I studied at the junior high school in the city, I did my best to learn it. However, the first exam broke my heart. Everyone did very well except (除了) me. I cried to my parents, saying I wanted to give up. They were farmers and knew nothing about English. They had no idea what to do but told me to study hard and learn from other students. Then my English teacher came to me. She stayed after class to teach me how to read and remember new words. She told me useful ways to learn, like reading aloud every morning. She was like an angel (天使) who tried to pull me out of the dark. With her help, I kept going and spent more time on the subject. A term later, I slowly caught up with my classmates. I felt more confident. Finally, I got excellent grades in English. I’m so thankful to my English teacher because I couldn’t have made it without her. And I’m also proud of myself—for not giving up when facing difficulties. That journey taught me that with efforts (努力) and help, nothing is impossible. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1.

Every mistake shows you an area where you need to improve.” He encouraged Zhang Wei to speak up without fear. Zhang Wei decided to change. He started by setting a small goal: to ask or answer one question in each English class. At first, his voice was shaky, and sometimes he gave wrong answers.     But Mr. Chen always smiled and said, “Good try!” Gradually, Zhang Wei became braver. He also began to practice English with his classmates after school. They watched English cartoons together and tried to describe what they saw. Months later, Zhang Wei’s progress was clear.

When I studied at the junior high school in the city, I did my best to learn it. However, the first exam broke my heart. Everyone did very well except (除了) me. I cried to my parents, saying I wanted to give up. They were farmers and knew nothing about English. They had no idea what to do but told me to study hard and learn from other students. Then my English teacher came to me. She stayed after class to teach me how to read and remember new words. She told me useful ways to learn, like reading aloud every morning. She was like an angel (天使) who tried to pull me out of the dark. With her help, I kept going and spent more time on the subject. A term later, I slowly caught up with my classmates. I felt more confident. Finally, I got excellent grades in English. I’m so thankful to my English teacher because I couldn’t have made it without her. And I’m also proud of myself—for not giving up when facing difficulties. That journey taught me that with efforts (努力) and help, nothing is impossible. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1.
