I was always told that the three Ps, patience, positive thinking and perseverance(毅力) were a sure path 1.______ success. But this 2.______ (advise) does not always work as planned. My high school maths exam is one example. The exam was 3.______ (original) to be held in our classroom. But it was 4.______ (change) to the library at the last minute. However, this didn’t bother me because maths had always been my 5.______ (strong) subject. I patiently walked to the library, took my seat and did some deep breathing to help relax 6.______ (I). But my mood
quickly changed when I saw the first question. I had no idea 7.______ to do it. I 8.______ (try) to stay positive and persevered until I finally found the solution. With the problem solved, I felt 9.______ ( pride) of my achievement. Unfortunately, I then noticed that I had only 10 minutes 10.______ (leave) to complete the rest!
