Things are fine here. I finished my end-of-year exams last week, and got

my report card today. I always get nervous when I see the envelope from

school in the mail, but luckily I did OK this time. I had a really hard time

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 true. It’s

just that I find science really difficult. Another disappointing result was in

history. My history teacher said I could do better. The good news 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. Mom and Dad send their

love.

Love,

Alan
