Dear grandma,

   How is it going? I hope that grandpa is （1） now. I was sorry to hear that he had a （2） last week. I hope you are in good health.

   Things are fine now. I finished my end-of-year exams last week and got my （3） card today. I always get （4） when I see the envelope from school in the mail, but （5） I did OK this time. I had a really hard （6） with science this semester, and I wasn't surprised to find that my worst report was from my science teacher. She said I was lazy, which isn't （7）. It's just that I find science really difficult. （8） disappointing result was in history. My history teacher said I could do better. The good （9） is that my math teacher said I was hard-working. And my Spanish teacher said my listening was good.

   Well, that's about all the news I have for now. Dad and Mom （10） their love.

Love  Alan
