Dear Dad,
I was very upset when I received your letter. I knew you 36 not like my results, but I didn’t realize you and Mum were so 37 with me. This has made me 38 very carefully about myself, and now I 39 how silly I have been.
My poor 40 have come from my own 41 . Of course, I want to do my best. I want you and Mum to be proud 42 me, but somehow when I get to school I just can’t keep my 43 on the subject and I stop 44 the teacher. So many other things seem so much more 45 , but I know that I must not 46 the chance you and Mum have given me. If I don’t work very hard 47 the next few months, I am going to get 48 results. So I am going to study hard this summer. And I will show Mum anything 49 I can’t understand so that she can give me help.
I 50 you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise, 51 _ I will control the time I 52 on it properly.
If you want me to stop meeting Cindy, I will — but there is 53 serious. We are just good friends, and she often helps me 54 my schoolwork.
Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to 55 my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.
Yours,
Jimmy
