Male Female
So I heard a piece of good news from my sister, and it was about her assessment scores. She got many A-pluses in her scores, and I heard it just before yesterday. I feel very excited about it because I think that she did a lot of work to improve her scores. At first, she only got very bad scores, like a B or a C, but then she improved herself every day. Sometimes she would come and find me or her teachers to help her improve her test scores. Sometimes she would ask me questions, and I would always answer them very clearly because I want to help her a lot. Her teachers gave her a lot of help too, advising her on how to get a better score. When I heard the news, I was also very grateful for her as she received a lot of congratulations from all the other people, and she was very happy about it. Her parents also did a lot because they accompanied her when she worked very hard. I think that she is a very hardworking and good student.
