Dear Mom and Dad,
I finally got 1_____ that philosophy class I was telling
you about. It wasn't easy. It's a required course and there is no way to get 2_____ it. The professor, Dr. Schmitt, seems
very good, but I think his class is going to be quite a challenge.
Yesterday was the first day of the course. He
gave everyone in the class a syllabus describing the homework and the exams. I
couldn't believe how much he expects us to do. Several of the students
immediately got 3_____ and
left the room. After they were gone, Professor Schmitt started asking the
remaining students philosophical questions. They all had great answers, but
then he got 4_____ me. "What is art?" he asked
me. I tried to answer him, but I couldn't get what I wanted to say 5_____ to him. He smiled at me and got three
or four art books 6_____. He passed the art books around and asked us
to discuss the question in groups. The people in my discussion group were
really great; we all really enjoyed debating the question. Since we got 7_____ so well, we have decided to form a
study group, so we can help each other get 8_____ this
class.
I know my grades haven't been the best, but
with the help of this study group I should be able to get it 9_____ and do better this semester. Well, I
need to get 10_____ work and finish my assignments for
tomorrow. Everybody take care, and I'll see you at Thanksgiving.
Love,
Steve
