Yesterday, I chose a seat near the window because I wanted to feel calm during math class. The classroom was noisy before the bell, but the sky outside was clear.

When the teacher started the lesson, I noticed something strange. I could hear her voice better from that seat. I also stopped looking at my phone in my bag.

After class, my friend asked, "Did the window make you smarter?"

I laughed and said, "No, but it helped me listen."

查看中文译文

昨天上数学课时,我想让自己静下心来,便选了一个靠窗的座位。上课铃响之前,教室里很吵,但窗外的天空很晴朗。

老师开始讲课后,我发现一件奇怪的事:坐在那个位置,我能更清楚地听见她的声音。我也不再去看书包里的手机。

下课后,朋友问我:‘是窗户让你变聪明了吗?’

我笑着说:‘没有,不过它帮我专心听课了。’
