WACE GRIND Flashcards
According to my teacher, in order to get into the university I want to go to, it’s best to aim to get good marks.
先生によると、行きたい大学に行けるように、いい点を取るようにしたほうがいいそうです。
Even though it was difficult at the start, I didn’t give up, and I studied with all my might and got good grades.
初めは、大変でも、あきらめないで、一所懸命勉強していい成績が取れたの。
But there is not just good points, but there are also bad points too.
でも、いい点だけじゃなくて、悪い点もあります。
Today I intend on writing about whether or not going to school by car is a good thing.
今日は車で学校に行くことはいい考えかどうかについて書こうと思います。
