Grace didn’t seem to    9   what I said, “Why do you think that?” she asked.

Two teachers were sitting in the teachers' room. For a moment there was silence. Then one of them, Miss Smith, said, "I'm afraid I'd have to fail him! I just can’t let him   16   . "

"Now Alice," said her friend, Mrs Jackson, "is he so terrible a student?"

"That's just the trouble!" the other woman answered, "Tom was ever my   17   student. The problem is that he is so lazy that he never gets his work done. He hasn't handed me a piece of homework for three     18    !"
