Vincent Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters he wrote to his 1 from the school.
Dearest Mom and Dad,
I'm afraid I have something terrible to tell you. I have been very naughty and the school principal(校长) is very 2 with me. She is going to write to you. I have to be3 from here by you. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was 4 in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not 5 to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard 6 coming towards the room. I did not want to be caught by a teacher, so I threw the cigarette away.
7, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire.
There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too.
The principal 8 the fire station. By the time the firemen arrived, the whole room was on fire. One of my roommates got hurt and he was sent to the 9.
The principal said that the fire was all my fault and she will send you a bill for the damage(损坏). The damage will 10 you two thousand dollars.
I'm very sorry about this. I won't break any rules. I promise.
Much love,
Vincent
