“Lin Tao, 40. Wang Hai, 35..."My heart beat faster and faster when Mr. Tao, our English teacher, announced everyone's score of the last practice exam (模拟考试) in class. Everyone couldn't help groaning (叹息) when they received papers from Mr. Tao. In fact, this was the last but most difficult practice exam before the High School Entrance Exam (中考). Hearing others' low scores, I could even guess my score might be worse than I had expected.
“Here is your paper. "Mr. Tao put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to catch attention, was my score-55!"I also fail the exam! " I almost passed out (昏倒) at the poor score. “Li Hai got the highest score this time,” Mr. Tao said in a serious voice. "None of you passed it!" I couldn't believe my ears at the surprising news. I got first place
Although I failed the exam! I even thought Mum would praise me for my good performance. However, when I reached home, Mum became unhappy at my low but high score.
“My son, you should have done better!" she told me seriously. "But this is the highest score in my class. "I was still kind of proud. "I don't care what scores others got, but you failed this time. The important thing is what you have done! "my mother said seriously.
My mother has only cared about whether I have done something excellently since Then. Also, her words will make a difference to my life.
