The challenge I metAll of us are faced with challenges in life and we have different ways to meet them. Now Id like to share how I made efforts to improve my physics. After entering senior high school, I had great difficulty learning physics. So I was determined to do something to improve it. Firstly, I prepared my lessons carefully before class and marked where I didnt understand. Secondly, I listened attentively in class, eager to find out what I didnt know. If there were still some problems troubling me, I would turn to my teacher for help. Now I have made great progress in physics. I believe as long as you try your best, you will surely meet any challenge bravely.
