I wasnt very good at most school subjects. I suppose I was a bit lazy
2、and now I wish Id done more work, especially in maths.

7、得科学很乏味无聊，又深奥难懂。但是詹金斯先生使一切变得妙趣横生。他总是通过许多实实在在的例子来讲解知识，使看起来难懂的事物简单化。有一天，他带我们到户外，我们自己制作了一枚火箭！我记得他让我把一些粉末倒入火箭，然后另一个学生点火将火箭发射了出去。真是有趣极了。I know that I wasnt a willing student and I shouldnt have been so difficult at school, but it was probably because I lacked confidence in myself. Mr Jenkins made me feel
8、that I could do things. I was interested in astronomy and he asked me to give a presentation to the class.

10、先生让我感到我能把事情做好。我对天文感兴趣，于是他让我给全班上一堂课。那真的是我第一次面对听众讲解科学知识，而现在这成了我的工作！现在每当我准备节目时，我经常会想詹金斯先生当时会怎样做。有时我真希望我能给他打个电话问问他的意见！My StudentBrian Jenkins, science teacher at Overton School.Before Graham came into my class, he was very difficult. I had heard stories about his bad behaviour. Once I caught him and a f

The first day he walked into my class， he was dragging his school bag behind him and looking bored, but as soon as I set up an experiment to show how the human stomach works using acid and an onion
12、， he gave me his full attention. He loved science! He was very bright and should have done much better in all his other subjects. Ive read a couple of his books and seen him on TV.
