What if the best learner in class never takes notes with a pen? When I first saw Lila in our school last term, I felt she was quite

—she only brought a notebook and a tape recorder to lessons.

we hurried to write down every word the teacher said, she just sat quietly,

on the blackboard.
One day, our Maths teacher gave us a surprise

. Most of us didn’t know how to answer the questions, but Lila finished

. When the teacher showed her paper with full marks to all of us, someone finally asked, “How do you remember everything without

the teacher’s explanations.”
We soon learnt more about her. After class, she often stayed to ask the teacher follow-up questions instead of rushing to play. When she made mistakes in homework,
she would write down the
