去年秋天，我在图书馆帮小博准备初中一年级的数学比赛。比赛在后年，可是他一般每天放学后都来复习。上周，他把不会的题写在笔记本上，又把答案给我看。我在黑板上把题目一个一个讲给小博听，还把重要的公式写在纸上。为了提高成绩，他每天都很努力。后来老师说，他在学习上进步很大，小博也更有信心了。

Last autumn, I helped Xiao Bo prepare for a first-year middle-school maths competition in the library. The competition is the year after next, but he usually comes to review every day after school. Last week, he wrote the questions he could not do in his notebook and showed me the answers. At the blackboard, I explained the questions to Xiao Bo one by one and wrote the important formulas on paper. To improve his grades, he worked hard every day. Later, the teacher said that he had made great progress in his studies, and Xiao Bo had more confidence too.
