I got into trouble with my Mathematics teacher, Miss Chulia. Yesterday, Miss Chulia had given the class two ___1___ of homework to be completed by today. She gave strict instructions that we had to ___2___ them in today. That way, she could correct them over the ___3___ and go through the mistakes with the class on Monday. The ___4___ I got home, I immediately put down my bag, took out the two worksheets and completed doing them. I distinctly remember putting the worksheets back into my file ___5___ they were completed.

When I went to school today, Miss Chulia ___6___ us to submit our homework. I took out my file confidently but for some ___7___ that I could not think of, the worksheets were not in there ! I gave out a loud gasp. I then thought that maybe I had put them into my bag directly rather than in the file. I rummaged through the bag but in ___8___. The worksheets were nowhere to be ___9___ ! I simply could not fathom where they were. I knew that I had done them and kept them properly. However, since I could not find them, I had no ___10___ but to tell Miss Chulia.

I walked towards the teacher's table with tentative steps. I was ___11___ myself for a lecture and a punishment. The class hushed when they realized what I was doing. They held their ___12___ as they waited for the scene to unfold. When I approached Miss Chulia, I could barely find my ___13___ to talk to her. I told her what happened. My heart was pounding against my ___14___. Needless to say, Miss Chulia was fuming mad. She started to berate me about my lack of discipline, my irresponsibility and so on. She told me to be more careful in future. For the ___15___ of my day, I was feeling sorry for myself. More importantly, I tried to rack my brains to figure what could have happened to my work.
