第四部分 短文改错
Are the years you spent at school best years of your life? Personally, I found most lesson rather uninteresting. We had to sit at our desks in silence and paid attention to what the teachers were saying. They were used to write on the blackboard and ask us difficult questions. We also had to do a plenty of homework, and hand it on time. We had to wear school uniforms and obey lots of rules. I left school as soon as I can and started work. I read books at the public library, and late I decided to attend college. Now I really enjoy study because I’m growing old and know what I Want it. When I was at school, I was just the wrong age!
