Hi Kate; I'm doing the school 1. for Joey Falconer, and I'm not sure what I should say. He is a lively and intelligent child, but he can be a nuisance in class. He should get much 2. grades for his work than he does. It's not that he's 3. - he just does not pay 4. to the teacher. With the 5. he likes such as history and science he is an 6. student, but his French teacher says that he is a real horror. It's not just that he doesn't listen, he also 7. the other students. The thing 8. that Joey was very ill last year, and he 9. a lot of classes. His parents have hired a private tutor to help him 10. , and Joey prefers learning with his tutor to lessons at the school. Now he seems to think school hours are just for socializing with his friends. Overall 11. I don't want to be too 12. on him. He's such a nice kid that even his French teacher 13. him, and he has been doing well on the 14. .
