However, after his father’s death, Martin’s life became much more difficult. His mother couldn’t afford to pay for her 2. education. She had to work, and so was often not at home.

His mother tried her best to look after him. Unfortunately, Martin still caused trouble. He was not 3. in studying and he often got into trouble with the police. 4., his mother was very patient and didn’t give up trying to help him. In the end, she made a difficult 5. to send him to a boy’s boarding school. Martin hated it and caused a lot of trouble. One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. Even the teacher agreed that Martin was wasting his time.

The head teacher said it was necessary for Martin to talk with his mother.
