In first one I got 2 mistakes only so I was like: yay, I get it finally. Then the second came😂😭. 0 ringht and in the 3rd I got 2 right only😑.. I need to practice those ones without the choosing.
This is going to be difficult to get for me. But I am going to continue. On Sunday, I will have been studying this course for a week.
That’s a great attitude! Keep it up and you’ll be doing these exercises with ease in no time.
