In class/ Practice PSAT

We took a practice PSAT few days ago, i didnt do very well. I tell myself its all my fault. I should have studied more and payed full attention on the test. One excuse to make myself feel better is that i didnt take the sumer SAT classes the school had, while most of the other classmates had. However, it is simply just a stupid excuse. Our English teacher brought up the discussion of PSATs for a brief moment. He told us that the best way to improve our scores is read, read, and read. Like yesterday's topic for this journal, how i couldnt be descriptive in my essays. I saw a clear path, a true solution. It is reading. Like i mentioned before i read less than i used to when i was in 8th grade. However, i am really going to read, read, and read some more. I remember how all my english teachers i had so far told us to read, read, and read. The english teacher i had in 5th even made a specific time" DEAR: "drop everything and read." They were very memorable moment.He would say, "It's DEAR time." Perhaps, reading is really important. Perhaps, the most important part of learning literature, or even preparing for SATs. "Forget the SAT vocabulary books", our teacher said, "they are the most boring ways one can study for SATs. The fun-est way is reading." I am going to set his words as another survival tip in life and read, read, and read some more.
