After asking me to sit down, she told me that I failed the math test. And she suggested that I should spend another year in middle school if I wanted to be admitted to a relatively good high school. I burst into tears when I heard the news. Seeing that, Ms. Robbins came to fort and encourage me, and said she39。d like to offer any help if necessary. After leaving her office, I was anxious, wondering how to tell the bad news to my parentsParagraph 2After I took the courage to tell my parents the bad news, they were silent. My body shook, waiting for their blame. However, they encouraged me to have another try in ninth grade. It was then that I determined to take math seriously. The following day, I turned to Ms Robbins for help and told her about my determination. Ms. Robbins was happy that I finally decided to work hard on math. Thanks to her patient guidance, I made great progress and was not afraid of math any more. Finally, I made my way to a good high school and a university. Now I’m a doctor and I39。 m proud of myself.聽力錄音稿(Text 1)W: A lemon tea and a slice of chocolate cake, please.M: Anything else? French fries?
