When I took the first exam,I was 38 to find a 77,C-plus,on my test paper,39 English was my best subject.I went to Professor Jayne,who listened to my arguments but remained 40 .
I decided to try harder,although I didn't know what that 41 because school had always been easy for me.I read the books more carefully,but got another 77 Again,I 42 with Professor Jayne.Again,he listened patiently but wouldn't change his 43 .
