Always acknowledge a fault frankly. This will throw your teachers off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.

An acquaintance is a person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to.
所谓熟人就是我们足够熟悉，可以从他那儿借东西，但又不是很熟，不能把东西借给他。

Acquire
Sir, I’m very sympathetic to your problem. It’s evident that you’ve acquired so much misinformation, that you want to share the surplus with others.
