Sorry I’m late. I’ve been to the library to get a book.

It’s OK. Andy isn’t here yet, either.

Oh, yes. He’s gone to see the form teacher, hasn’t he?

Yes, he has. We think it’s about the French test last week.

You wanted to see me, Mr Hunt?

Yes, Andy. Come in. Now, I’ve had a look at your work for this year. It isn’t very good, is it?

No, sir.

These are your marks for Science, History and Maths. They’re all pretty poor, aren’t they?

Yes, sir.

And you had a French test last Monday, didn’t you? What mark did you get?

Fifteen per cent, sir.

You used to be very good at French, Andy. What happened?

I don’t know, sir.

I do, Andy. You didn’t revise, did you?

But I was in a tennis competition all weekend.

That’s no excuse, Andy.

Well, I was doing other things, too, sir.

What other things? You clearly weren’t spending time on your other homework, were you?

I was working on my Geography project.

Really?

Yes, sir. I haven’t finished it yet, but I’ve done quite a lot.

Good. You can show it to me tomorrow. Now.

Later.

Oh dear. Andy doesn’t look very happy, does he?

How did it go, Andy? Did he want to talk to you about your French test?

Yes, he did. And all the other subjects, too.

Oh, no!

And he wants to see my Geography project tomorrow or he’ll send a letter to my parents.

Well, you can do that, can’t you?

No, I can’t, because I haven’t done it.

But you’ve done some of it, haven’t you?

No, I haven’t even started it!
