Sarah's Little Ups and Downs

Sarah was doing her homework, when she realized that the calculator her mom had bought was not working. She told mom that she needed to take it back to the shop. Her mom used this chance to give Sarah feedback on her essay. She said that Sarah discussed too many topics at once. Sarah was advised to cut out the insignificant parts, go with one subject only, and stick to it. Sarah lost her motivation for a moment, but soon realized that she needed to keep up practicing if she wanted to improve.
