Abandon
In high school, our English teacher gave us two vocabulary books to prepare for the college entrance exam. One contained 2000–4000 words, and the other contained 4000–7000 words. Every morning before class, we had a vocabulary test. On the school bus, everyone would be holding a vocabulary book, cramming for the morning test. We always joked that the only word we could remember was 'abandon' because it was the first word in the book.
My high school valued English a lot; we even had a whole day English class on Saturday. But somehow, it didn't work. Yes, I passed the entrance exam and got into my ideal college, but the moment I handed in my exam paper, I felt like I returned all my English ability to the school.
Spoon-feeding education works for some people, but maybe not for me. Now, I am learning English at my own pace. Yesterday, I saw a young girl on the bus holding the same vocabulary book. She looked very sleepy, and I felt a wave of nostalgia at the scene.

That line about returning all your English ability to the school is actually ingenious! I have never found a more apt description of how it feels to hand in a test!

Another option would be “full day” or “whole day long”.

In high school, our English teacher gave us two vocabulary books to prepare for the college entrance exam.
One contained 2000– to 4000 words, and the other contained 4000– to 7000 words.
I wasn't too sure about the meaning of this sentence -- the book contains between 2000 to 4000 words? Why isn't there a concrete number of words? Or is this referring to the frequency of the words, i.e. the 2000 to 4000th most common words?
Every morning before class, we had a vocabulary test.
On the school bus, everyone would be holding a vocabulary book, cramming for the morning test.
Another option: "everyone would have their nose in a book"
We always joked that the only word we could remember was '"abandon'," because it was the first word in the book.

We use a comma to separate two parts, where each part could be a complete sentence on its own.

Besides your very good English, I felt like the story itself was very well written and immersive. Keep it up!
