It’s normal for students’ marks(分数) to fall. Sometimes it is because of situations(情况) outside school, such as problems at home. Sometimes it is only because the exams get harder.

When your marks start to fall, you should try talking to your teacher. He or she will be able to help you with the subjects if you find them difficult. Stop comparing(比较) yourself with other students. It does not matter if other students get higher marks than you. But you should do your best. In class, you should write the most important things in a short form and remember them. Before each exam, you should go through(复习) your notes(笔记).

Go through your short notes again just before the exam. It may take hard work and your marks may not improve quickly. But if you have confidence(信心), soon your marks will begin to climb again.

Kate has a bird. She likes playing with it at home. But she is six years old now and her parents want her to go to school. Then she has to let the bird stay at home, so she isn’t happy. She is always thinking of her bird and doesn’t want to listen to her teacher, so she can’t answer her teacher’s questions.

Now the students are having math. She is looking out of the window. Her teacher asks, “What’s two and two, Kate?” Kate stands up and can’t answer the question.

Her teacher says, “If your mother gives you two pens, and I give you two pens, too. How many pens do you have?”

“I have five,” she answers.

“It’s false,” she teacher says. “You have four pens.”

“I don’t think so,” the girl says. “I always have one in my pencil case.”

I felt very sad because I was not able to get the ticket to the film Hero last Friday. I learned from the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 a. m. and 4:00 p. m. Since I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. , the only time I could go to the cinema is during my 45 minutes’ lunchtime. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town and the bus service between my company and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.

Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come round the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.

By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets.
