Jack used to be a lazy and shy boy in Grade 7. He always sat quietly in the corner of the classroom. He was too nervous to raise his hand even when he knew the answer. In PE class, he was slow and often out of breath during running and fell behind.
However, things started to change in Grade 8. He joined the school running club. At first, he could only run a few hundred meters, but with daily training, he gradually built up his strength. Now, he can run several kilometers without a break. This physical change also brought about a mental change. Running made him more confident (自信的). In class, he begins to actively share his ideas, and his voice is full of confidence. Teachers and classmates are amazed at this new and confident Jack now.
In his study, he used to be afraid of maths. But he made a study plan. He spent more time doing exercises and asked teachers for help when he had maths problems. Slowly but surely, his grades in maths improved a lot. Meanwhile, he always helps the students who has maths problems.
