Para3: However, not everything lived up to Zhang Tian's hopes. The school was much smaller than he had expected, with only three classrooms.In front of the classrooms, there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days. Living in the village was also more challenging than he had thought. The power and water supplies were unstable, so he could only shower every three or four days and he had to learn how to cook! The thought of leaving once flashed through his mind, but he quickly gave up the idea and found ways to deal with the challenges.
