write a letter to your mother explaining to her why you did not expect good results in the exams you have just given.

Answer:
My dear Mom,
Thanks for your recent letter giving news about the well-being of all the family members. I wonder how you manage to spare time to write from your extremely busy routine.
Mom, I must share your concern on account of my poor performance in some subjects during the Half Yearly Examination. I also know fully well how hard dear Papa is working to earn for our education and run the house. Performing poorly in the examination is like shattering your long-cherished dreams, for which I must express my regrets and feel sincerely repentant But my dear Mom, you will agree with me that this is not on account of my carelessness or negligence. It has some definite reasons that include my late admission, late arrival of text-books and my having been down with fever for a week soon before the exam.
I assure you to do better in future and never give you a chance to think that your daughter is not doing her duty wholeheartedly.
With regards to best wishes to uncle and aunt.
Yours affectionately,
Answer:
My dear Mother,
I’m sorry to inform you that I have fared badly in the terminal examination. In fact, I am afraid, I will fail this time. I owe you an explanation of my poor performance which father will be informed of in due course.
The fact is that I was ill for a fortnight on the eve of the examination. Let me hasten to add that the illness was quite minor-common cold, accompanied by a slight fever. So I decided to keep it back from you, lest it should cause you unnecessary anxiety. But it prevented me from applying myself to studies.
I know that illness, real or invented, is one of the common excuses, offered by students for their poor performance in examinations. I hope that you know me too well to doubt the truth of my explanation.
I assure you that I will work hard (not forgetting to take care of my health) and more than make up for my failure when the next examination comes. With love for little Veena.
Your loving daughter
Riya.
