My chemistry  used to be poor in the past. I got scores of around 40 on every test. During the last term, I decide to beat chemistry. I will start to work hard. In class I take every possible note. After school, I spend most of my time studying chemistry. My parents also ask their friend, a chemistry teacher, to help me . Finally in the latest exam, I got 65! How happy I am!
Wang Zhaolin, 16, Chongqing
My foot got hurt a week before the big PE exam . Luckily, I recovered(康复) in time. For PE , all you need is to practice. Sports can also help you relax. Be careful not to get hurt as I did.
