  I remember how I felt last year. I was   21     because Isabelle had a hard   22     with her subjects. She didn’t get good grades atschool, and I had to push her to do   23   . I even told her former teacher to be strict   24     Isabelle. Luckily, Isabelle’s former

teacher was one of the best teachers I have   25     known. I hope that Isabelle would be better the next semester. I have to tell you that something good    26    .

   In the summer holiday, Isabelle’s  27      improved a lot. I’m soglad that I asked a tutor to help her. The whole summer I was

working hard    28    Isabelle was studying for her reading. At

school, in the first quarter, she got “Needs improvement(改进)”

because she still wasn’t good   29    reading. I had her read for 30 minutes every night.   30     weeks ago, I got her report card. She got an “A” in reading. It wasn’t  31     . Last night, she had to write ten sentences, and it   32    her ten minutes to finish it. I had her read them to me, and the sentences were very good.

   So, my dear children, if you are doing   33     at school, never

give up.(放弃) You can ask   34     for help, and you can get

  35     the difficulties.
