Report: William Watson

William Watson sometimes seems to be afraid of ______________  hard. He can’t help ___________  to avoid_____________ anything that involves____________              his brain, particulary on Friday afternoons. He seems to detest____________                    life seriously, and pretends he isn’t capable of ____________  anything of worth.       

This is unfortunate as, with a little more effort, William could succeed in________

great progress.

However, at present he frequently just wants____________ the fool. He enjoys                    _________jokes. Presumably, he imagines this_____________  the best way to make friends, but in fact he often just ends up preventing the other students from.                  He has promised on several occasions_________________   his behaviour in class, but then he just keeps on _______________ in exactly the same way. Recently, I have had to beg him ___________________ and be quiet in the classroom, but it’s difficult to know how to make him __________________ to his senses. He just doesn’t seem interested in __________________  to my opinion. I’m tempted to give up even_______________ that he might improve. Having said that though, Mr Watson is an extremely good maths teacher!
