report book time:

marcus got his exam paper back.

maths: 68.5/100
Science: 73/100
English: 49.5/70
Chinese 16/45

He told me that although he failed chinese, but his is the best in his foundation chinese class and next year, the teacher is going to put him back to the standard chinese class. So i told marcus, then he will be the bottom of the standard chinese class next year. so i ask him if he can request his teacher for him to remain in the foundation chinese class?
