A disappointing exam result. He is unable to give attention to this
subject for long.
Chemistry

His obvious ability in the subject was not fully reflected in
his exam work, but I have high hopes for him nevertheless.
Physics

An excellent term’s performance. He goes from strength to
strength. A born scientist, I feel.
Biology

This time next year he will be taking the "O" Level exam.He needs toconcentrate on the work, not on class conversation.

Clearly he didn’t bother to revise. His general attitude is far
too casual.

Weak. It’s time he exercised his body more and his voice less. He
should try to work with a team.
