My Best Performance
My Best Performance
Everyone has studied
subjects at school which they weren't very good at. No one can claim
that some subjects aren't harder for them than others, however clever
they are. I've never met anyone who's that clever. My weakest
subject at school was certainly chemistry. I learned formulas and experiments by
heart, but there was nothing I could do to improve my performance.
"Is this that the best you can do?" my chemistry teacher would
say after every test he set us. "It's time you did something about
this subject!" "I really do try, sir," I would answer.
Before my last chemistry exam, I made a big effort. "I can't do better
than this," I said to my teacher as I handed in my paper. "It was my
best performance." Two weeks later I got my report and eagerly looked up
my chemistry marks. I had got 8%! I couldn't believe it! "Is that all
I got, sir?" I asked. "I'm afraid so," my teacher said. "Of
course, 4% was for neatness!"
