A few days ago,our math's teacher told us that our class and class 5 will have a test this Sunday night!Everyone has already started studying like crazy!Of course everyone wants to do well,but everyone is studying extra hard because we all want to do better than class 5.We all know that our math's teacher is very strict and likes to compare both classes with each other,so we need to study hard if we are going to make the top students list.

Before the test,a few students had their heads stuck in books and were busy reviewing pieces of paper covered in equations and sums.Our teacher always tells us that last minute studying is always really helpful,so that is what I did.Being in a room with people who are all reviewing math's also helps,because it made me want to study harder.I asked a few of my classmates who are really good at math's to help me review a couple of questions.However the questions we reviewed didn't come up in the test!

After the test.Maybe it was because we still don't understand the material,our maybe because we didn't take it seriously,but our classes test results were very bad.The whole class had a look of disbelief on our faces when we found out.Our teacher had a bigger look of disbelief.She teacher must doubt that we understood the material we learn in class.




Just before the teacher handed out the test results,she told us that normally our homework is much better than class 5.However,in this test,class 5 performed much better.I think a lot of people in our class have been too relaxed recently and haven't been paying attention to their studies.We need to do better.Only if we set ourselves targets,and are persistent and motivated to achieving them,can we then improve and be better.
