Brilliant Student

Pretend I wrote a book about the Secrets of Brilliant Students. Okay, now pretend that this is a sample paragraph from that book.

...You are turning in your homeowork from last night. You were suppose to write a short paper about you favorite animal. The smartest kid in class is also turing in his homework. When you get your papers back you notice that he had an A+ and that you have a B-. How could that happen if your animals were the same, and you both had the same amount of time to do it. Have you ever wondered how those kids do it, or if you could do it? Well, you can! The people who get high grades, like that, think about everything that they write, similar to authors. It helps when you read your paper out loud, also. It's easy to miss things when reading it in your head. Sometimes, those kids ask their friends to read their paper, too. It's easy to miss things when you are the only one reading it. Reading books is a great way to write good papers. Try reading harder books than you're use to. Take these hints and maybe you can be the star student!...

(I didn't really write a book about good students)
