When I was 12 years old, I was in Grade 1 at middle school. I thought I could be the first in the
class. But the result of the first exam told me that I was wrong. Although I was good at math and
English, my history was poor. I thought history was boring.
     Then, my scores of history became worse and worse. I began to be afraid of it.
     At the end of the third semester, my history was still bad. I didn't understand why. At that time,
my sister helped me analyze (分析) the reason. She told me, "You must do your best to study history,
or you will fall behind." Then I thought a lot. The second day, I took out the history book. I read loudly,
and tried my best to remember history knowledge. I did it every day during that summer holiday. The
fourth semester would be over. I was very worried about my history. But I found that I scored 95 in
the history test. I was very happy and wanted to tell everyone, "Nothing is difficult if you put your heart
into it."
