Things didn’t get better until October when I turned to Jake for help. “Sure, I’d be happy to help you!” Jake said. I wasn’t expecting Jake to help me. I wasn’t sure until the moment when I found Jake knew my name. During my study time, Jake was patient (耐心的), explaining the math problems to me over and over again. For the first time, I finally understood the difficult math formulas (公式)! The next day, I succeeded in solving a math problem in class. Everyone, including myself, was surprised. I felt so proud at that moment! From then on, I became interested in math. I always spent a lot of time on math. I made great progress in a short time. The other day, our teacher showed us a math problem: If you wrote all the numbers from one to one hundred, how many times would you write nine?

They have an unusual diet. Capybaras love to eat hard grasses, which need to be chewed (咀嚼) many times. To finish the long chewing, capybaras’ teeth never stop growing.

In his opinion, nothing was more important than what he was doing. Yu learned from the experience of Gun’s and came up with a better way to control the flood.
