Keep working hard and ________________ again in the next exam.” I promised him that I would not lose hope. After that, Mr Guo often spared some time to help me. Whenever I found something I didn’t understand, he was always happy to ___________ it. With his help, my maths skills started to improve. One day, Mr Guo smiled and said, “You see, you are doing a great job. Now keep on ____________ and be ___________ in your abilities.” I went into the final exam with great confidence.
