One possible version:
We had an exam yesterday and now the papers are being handed out. There’s a paper without name on it left but its mark is full. Whom can it belong to?It can’t be a boy’s because the handwriting is so good and tidy. It must belong to a girl. There are three girls who are good at handwriting. They are Rose，Mary and Lucy. It can’t be Mary’s or Rose’s because they have their papers already. So it must be Lucy’s. Today she is ill at home and she does well in English，too. Well，it must belong to her.
，我們將會及時處理。
