Biggest Failure

CASSIE- Essay 1

I failed the high school entrance exam. I could go to a better school if I didn’t fail it. I think it’s important to go to a high-rated high school since they usually have a better study atmosphere. I was so depressed when I got the result. It was so awful. However, I also learned a lot. The following are the lessons I learned from this failure.

First, I should take the exam seriously. Every test is important, and thus I have to get well- prepared for them. In the past, I always thought tests are easy. I never studied for them. However, when I were taking the exam, I could not answer most of the questions. Of course, the results didn’t reach my expectation. Now I know I have to study for an exam so that I can pass it.

Second, I should study harder since it is not easy. I will get a better result if I spend more time on it. Instead of watching television programs after school, I should first review what we learned in that day’s class. The more time I give to studying, the easier the tests will be. Moreover, I should make better use of leisure time. For example, I can memorize some vocabulary while I am on the bus. Day by day, I will have more vocabulary in my brain. Also, I should put away my cell phone and study instead.

Last but not least, I have to prepare for the exam earlier. In this way, I will be familiar with the questions and the exam will become easier for me. I cannot just scan the textbooks for five minutes before the tests. Since the date of the exam will have been announced months ago, I have to schedule my study plan. By doing this, I can follow the plan and keep up with the steps. In the end, I will remember all the things about the subjects. Then, the exam won’t be as difficult.

In summary, I studying harder so increases the chances that I can get into a school I want. This will also determine the university I get into in the future. I am sure that just like the ideal high school, the study atmosphere is much...
