Dear Zhang Hua,
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t do well in your last exam.You are not the only one who seems to try his or her best but ends up with a failure in exams.Quite a number of students feel the same way as you and they tend to lose their confidence (lose heart)and don’t want to study hard any longer.I’m sure you know that it’s unwise to do so because you might be left far behind.
I was once in the same situation as yours.Failure is the mother of success.In the face of failure,what we need to do is to calm down and reflect our learning methods and make some possible changes or ask the teachers for advice.Anyway,Rome was not built in a day.Only by sticking to studying persistently can we make progress step by step till success.I firmly hope I can be of some help to you.
