Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.
Working hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1, 646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2, 159 hours a year.

Dear Liu Ming,
I'm sorry to hear that you often feel anxious and sad because of some problems in study and life.
Everyone may feel worried or sad sometimes. You should tell others when you are anxious. It's good to communicate with your classmates, teachers or parents when you are in trouble. Thus, you can work out the problems in study or life easily. Listening to music or taking part in outdoor activities is another way to help you get relaxed. Try to smile at yourself and never keep silent about your problems.
No matter how many difficulties you have, I believe all of them can be overcome in the end.
Yours,
Li Hua
