1 My English teacher is always trying to make every student interested in her class, but in vain. 2 Our English class often occupies 50 minutes. 3 When teaching us new words, our English teacher always classifies them into groups according to the part of speech. 4 Our maths teacher often warns us that we should not refer to the answers as soon as we find the questions are hard. 5 Because of the high cost of medicine and a lack of specific medical skills, the clinic in our school causes lots of complaints from students. 6 I’m indeed fed up with the high price and the bad taste of the food in our school canteen.
1 Whatever great difficulty you come across, never lose heart. Just keep it in mind that there’s nothing difficult if you put your heart into it. 2 Listening to teachers and working hard by ourselves are of equal importance to the improvement of our grades. 3 We should do nothing at the expense of our health, as it is the most precious for us.
