meant because school had always been easy for me.
Then came the first test. I decided I'd have fun with it. The night before the test, I even treated
myself to a movie. However, the next day, I was totally shocked when I found a 77, C-plus, on my
test paper! English was my best subject and I had never failed in it. I went to Professor Prondzinski,
who listened to my arguments but remained unmoved. There was one more test before I finally got
my course grade. Because of this C-plus.I might as well kiss the scholarship goodbye.

Dear Chris,
I'm writing to share with you a hiking experience I engaged in with my classmates during the
National Holidays. We met at the school gate on Oct.1 and then set off in high spirits. We walked
together at a reasonable pace, talking about stuff, and enjoying the scenery. When we reached the top
of the hike, the beauty of it literally took our breath away.
I believe life is a journey, and not about heading to the destination, so l am glad I stopped and
took time to appreciate the nature along the way.
Do you have any outdoor activities to share with me? Looking forward to your letter.
Yours,
Li Hua

I realized it was the last chance to improve my course grade. Based on this realization, I
redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, learned the meaning of the word “thorough. I dedicated
a limited amount of time each day to work on understanding the concepts that had challenged me.
After attending class, completing all the assignments, I put in hours of extra work to prepare for the
coming test, hoping that it would pay off and I could get rewarded with a good grade. Time passed
quickly and a month later, I sat the next test calmly.
The next day, I was surprised to find I got an A and I hurried into Professor Prondzinski's office
He seemed to be expecting me. “IfI had given you the grade as you expected, you wouldn't continue
to work as hard today.”I stared at him, realizing that his analysis and strategy were correct. From that
day on, I worked my head off, as I had never done before. I was speechless when my course grade
