I'm so sad and angry after what my English teacher did to me..

I'm French btw and we study English at high school. So we did a test where we had to write an essay about an experience that changed my life.
And today when he gave us back our papers, he told me that it is too sophisticated and good to be written by a high school student.
And he gave me 3/20, and it's a very important module :(
I'm so sad because I did something great and instead of being praised, I'm being yelled at...

sounds like he thinks you copied that essay from somewhere, you need a chance to tell him you didn't

@Kimmler: but there's always a few kids who are better at languages than the rest, get real

@Kimmler: The test took place in a closed room with no Internet or anything. How could I have copied it from somewhere ?

@ArwenPandora: looks like this question doesn't deserve a response from our resident expert on teachers and students.

Arwen, you know, you were accused of something. Only you know for sure if you're innocent. I say, if you have done nothing wrong you need to take steps to have this arbitrary decision overturned. Never mind what anyone else says. You know the truth. Act on what you know; not what we think.
