Hey Brad, 
You aren’t the only one who’s having problems with grades. You’re just worried about getting decent grades; I’m worried about passing. I’m in danger of failing three of my classes. I guess I’ll have to party less and study more. At least there are a few weeks left until finals. 
I’m looking forward to the winter break, too. Of course, if I flunk out, I’ll be home for good, unless my parents kill me. 
Your friend, 
Rob 
嘿,布雷德: 
你并不是唯一在成绩方面有问题的人。你担心的只是如何得到象样的成绩,而我则担心能不能考及格。我有三门课面临不及格的危险。我想我必须要少玩乐多读书。至少在期末考前还有几星期的时间。 
我也很期待寒假的到来。当然啦,万一我被退学,除非我爸妈杀了我,否则我就得一直待在家里了。

罗勃 敬上
