Hi Paul,

Thanks for the email. Sorry to hear about your problems at school and with Mum and Dad, but I'm not really surprised. You are never on time for lessons and you don't often 1) ______ well in tests.

You 2)______ one lesson a week or more because you 'are ill' and _____ badly in subjects you should be good at because you don't try.

When was the last time that you 3)______ for a test? You just want to have fun.

It's not really surprising that you 4)____ your exams. Sorry, little brother, but I agree with Mum and Dad. I'm having a great time here at university, but you need to work harder if you want to study somewhere when you leave school.

See you at Christmas,

Clara
