Because Tom was very tired, he slept, leaving his diary page open. When Aunt Polly came in the morning to wake him up, she looked at the diary page. She read it and decided to write a note of advice to Tom in his diary. Help her complete the note by filling in the blanks. Use the Aid Box given below, you may use some words more than once.
Answer:
Dear Tom
I’ve just read what you have written. You can take rest today but you must have told me the truth. You should have come up to me and asked me. I would have said ‘yes’. But I believe that you will never stop making excuses. You should try and mend your ways, then only could you be able to win the love and respect of others.
Polly
