In my opinion, I don’t really agree children have all kinds of after-school classes on their weekends or holidays.
I have several reasons for this. First, Although it’s sometimes good for children to start learning from a young age, children should have time to relax and think for themselves. Second, Parents should let their kids be kids. Much pressure is not good for children. It’s even more important for children to be happy and relaxed. Moreover, I think it’s better that parents shouldn’t compare their children with other children. It’s crazy and not fair.
All in all, it’s important to have a happy child than a successful one.

Dear Jenny,
Thanks for your e-mail. I’m really sorry to hear about your problems. Here are the suggestions for you.
To get out of the trouble, in my opinion, you should have a good conversation with your parents and tell them about your problems. Instead of getting angry, your parents will be glad to help you look for solutions. Secondly, it’s necessary to keep your body and mind relaxed. Listening to soft music and doing exercise are both good ways which can help deal with stress. Last but not least, I think you should ask your teachers to help with your schoolwork. The improvement in your studies will make you happy again. Your parents will be also happy and proud of you because of your improvement.
All in all, there are many ways for you to solve the problems. If you can follow my advice, you will make great progress in the future.
Yours, Li Hua

Hello, everyone,
I am Li Hua. I'd like to speak out my worries and wishes. I am worried about my homework. I have too much homework to do every day. And I feel stressed too much. I think my parents are too strict with me in my studies. It's hard for me to communicate with my parents. Besides, I have little time for my hobbies or outdoor activities.
I hope our teachers give us less homework every day. I also hope to get on well with my dear mom and dad. I'm looking forward to getting more chances to take part in outdoor sports.
That's all. Thank you.
