As an international student currently studying in the UK, I failed two subjects in my first year at my home university (CHINA) before I came to the UK and for some reason, I have a low GPA and I need to write a letter to the International Students Department explaining the reasons for my low grades.

My low grades in my freshman year in China were due to the fact that I had to prepare for the formalities of going abroad, which resulted in the deduction of points for some absences

I was very unwell for a while in my sophomore and junior years due to the shock of the epidemic, and I was also very uncomfortable with online learning at first.50
