It may sound strange, but Ben was looking forward to the English exam. Now, don't imagine that
Ben was a great student. He was always slow to catch (1) in class and couldn't really
keep (2) with the other students. And he hadn't even studied (3) the
exam. The real reason he thought he was going to sail (4) was that he had all the
answers!
Two days before, he had found a piece of paper with all the questions and answers on it on his teacher's desk. It suddenly (5) his mind that maybe for once he could pass the exam. 'What's the point (6) studying?' he asked himself. After thinking it (7) for a second, he (8) his mind up. He copied the piece of paper and his teacher (9) no idea what had happened.
When the exam started, Ben sat down and turned the question paper over. He looked, and
then looked again. It was the wrong paper! It dawned (10) Ben that he had
copied the wrong exam paper! His teacher was looking at him, so Ben thought he'd better get
(11) with it. He knew he would never succeed (12) passing the exam.
Not all of it (13) sense to him, but he did his best.
The next day, his teacher gave him his paper back and said 'Well done, Ben. Much better.' Ben
couldn't believe it! He had passed with a B! He realised he had (14) an important lesson.With a little work, who knew what he would be capable (15) ?
