I was ill and missed a few classes. I didn’t bother to ask my classmateswhat topic they were studying without me. I thought it was modal verbs.Naturally, I read the paragraph in the textbook on modal verbs. When I went toschool (university) the teacher gave us a test on articles! I hadn’t expectedit at all and got a bad mark. I was disappointed but I said to myself: theworse luck now, the better another time. And I was right! When we were given atest on modal verbs, I was the only one to get an excellent mark because I hadbeen revising the topic longer than anyone in my group.
