Assignment 10(A)

According to Brian, what is the key to hunting and why is that the key? How might this relate to you even though you are not a hunter?

Original Answer:
The key to hunting is patient. Patient is the key to hunting because hurry will scar the animals away. Patient is the key to teaching. I have a friend who was not good at math. I teach him everyday after class. I do not know why he never understands some work problem, so I taught him in patient until he understand. If I am no patient, I think he will think I do not want to teach him.

Revision Answer:
The key to hunting is patience. You needed to take the time required fo hunting. Without patience, you are not able to get anything. I have a friend who was not good at math, so I was going to teach him everyday after class. I do not understand why he was not understand the questions which I thought are very easy to him; therefore, I taught him in patience until he understand. Patience is important to teaching. If you were teaching unpatience, your student will have presure and cannot understand the questions.
