BStudying in groups is becoming more and more popular in class. It has many advantages. For example, we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study in groups.I still remember when I was in Grade 7, my English was very poor. I had a really hard time with it. Once in class, the teacher asked us to discuss with each other, but I was very shy. I could not do it like what she told me. My English teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else bravely, then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some advice. I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems. After that, I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about English. I did not feel stressed(紧张的) out at all. At last, I finished my homework by myself for the first time. How excited I was!Because of studying in groups, I am not worried about English any more. With my classmates' help, I get more chances to improve myself in many ways. So let's study more in groups.46. The author had a hard time in English when he was in________.
