Dear Merry,
Recently, I have had trouble with my study.
In school I can’t listen to teachers carefully because I always feel tired and sleepy. I don’t spend time with friends after class, either, because I think it’s a waste of time. I even miss writing some answers in the test.
At home, I can’t get my homework done every night. My parents don’t let me stay up. So I have to get up early the next morning to finish it. Lately, I have even got a bad headache.
How can I solve these problems
Yours,
Liu Ya
Dear Liu Ya,
When you have trouble listening to teachers carefully in class, you can ask your teachers or deskmate to remind you often. Then spending time talking about many different things with friends can make you happy. It’s not a waste of time. As for homework, when it’s hard to get it finished, one thing you can try is setting goals for yourself. Ask your parents to help you. You must take a break, especially if you don’t feel well. You might be surprised that a short break can help you get more done! Lastly, if you don’t worry and have enough sleep, your headache will leave you.
Yours,
Merry
