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 1do well in tests. You 2miss one lesson a week or more because you 'are ill' and you 3do badly in subjects you should be good at because you don't try. When was the last time that you 4passed for a test? You just want to have fun. It's not really surprising that you often 5fail 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
