女兒的ACT考試過了兩個禮拜了。女兒出考場就說她考得一般。老爸終於沉不住氣,決定花8塊錢,把分數提前拿到手。昨天在網上一看,嘿嘿,8塊錢是浪費了。
女兒考前兩個月,一來忙著準備她的computer program contest,一來為SATI考得不錯而昏了頭,沒花多少時間複習準備,Science部分的成績一直上不來,最後的結果是可想而知了。她拿到成績也有些失望,比她在Kaplan的模擬考試還差一些。看到她的失望,老爸隻好邊開車,邊嘮叨了。
“嘿嘿,not so bad. still 97 percentile overall. You were over confident after your SAT I, right? I told you that you had to work hard for everything. How much you gain depends on how much effort you put. Now,tell me you still have a dream, a dream to go a school you like,right?”
“Yes.”
“Then, you still have time to make up your mind. I will do whatever to help you.”
。。。。。。。。。。。
到最後,當然還是老爸掏錢啦。買書呀,再報名考試呀。。。
今天送女兒上學,路上問她:“早給你說了,用心考一次,考好點,你這個summer可是自由多了。現在得重新準備,一個summer可有你忙了,要打工,要補習法語,要去summer camp, 要作volunteer, 要準備申請材料...看你怎麽安排吧。”
女兒衝俺伸了個舌頭。但願她從這次重考裏學會的不僅僅是“一分汗水,一分收獲”。
