One possible version:
When I was in Grade 7, my English was very poor. I even couldn't understand what my English teacher
said in class. I felt so upset that I wanted to give up English. One day, Mrs. Zhang, my English teacher asked
me to go to her office and had a long talk with me. She encouraged me to study English well and gave me
some good advice. This helped me a lot. I became confident from then on and made much progress. I
believe my English will be much better in the future.
