Working the land
learn the words in the passage
Our class is comprised of fourty-two students from the countryside. Deep down, all of us envision ourselves attaining respectful jobs in urban cities i n the near future.
Dreams are rooted in our hearts. We are greatly ____________(convince) that being entirely devoted to or study can boost our confidence in tackling crises. We will combine conventional learning methods with modern ones to expand our knowledge. Then we well bravely output what we have learned.
convinced
Certainly, it is essential that we shouldn`t yield to difficulties. The instant we can`t digest some aspects the teacher says in class, we will be overcome with sorrow. Too much homework generates much strain, but we have alternative methods to alleviate our frustration.
For instance, we will buy nutritious foods in a grocery store in our leisure time, although we have a shortage of money. On the assumption that we always have such an intense and widespread interest in study, it is estimated that we can put our dreams into reality, which in turn can enable us to live a better life that we have been looking forward to.
