When I got to Grade Seven, I was sad to know that all of my classmates had studied everything before the class started. During class, everyone knew the answers to our teacher's questions but I did not.
I studied hard, I couldn't get good grades. I came last in the (one) test. To catch up with my classmates, I looked for ways of learning online. For example, for history, drawing the timeline(时间线) on paper helped me a lot. What's more, for English, I (try) keeping English diaries. My grades then got a lot better. I'm very happy for (I).

I had no friends and lost interest in everything. (slow), I wasn't serious about my study. My grades also became the (bad)in the class. Those were my darkest days. Later, I made a friend. A (say) goes that a true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart. He made me open up, and I started to talk to more people. Also, I came to get used to the weather in this city. Step by step, I got better and better.
