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
