GOING THROUGH COLLEGE

Sam and Ben are twin brothers. They have a very rich grandfather who offered to put them through1 university. Sam sailed through2 his exams at school and easily got into a good university. Ben wanted to go to the same university, but it was harder for him to get in3. However, in his last few months at schools, he buckled down4 to his studies and managed to get through5 all the necessary exams. Both brothers wanted to major in6 law. Sam had worked in a law firm in several summer holidays and this experience was able to count towards7 his degree. Ben spent his holidays playing sport. Sam continued to study hard and soon left most of the other students in his group behind8. At the end of six months the professor creamed off9 the best students and moved them up the next class. Sam was in this group but Ben was not. The professor felt he was more interested in rugby than law and this counted against10 him. He was marked down11 for careless mistakes in a number of his assays and by the end of the year he had fallen behind12 the rest of his year. His tutor says he’ll be lucky if he even scrapes through13 his exams. His grandfather has arranged to come and visit him and Ben is feeling a little nervous.
