Dear Lin Ran,
I am sorry to know that you are unhappy these days. You say you have too much homework every day and have little time to rest. What's worse, you often feel nervous because of great pressure. Now let me give you some advice.
First, you should make a proper plan for your study and try to find your own ways of studying. Second, make the best use of your time and try to find time to relax, such as listening to light music and going for a walk. Third, why not communicate more with your parents, teachers or friends when you feel nervous By communicating with others, we may feel better. Hope things work out.
Yours,

1. “After-school classes can help kids get into a good university.”
A magazine interviewed some parents about after-school classes for children. Read the opinions below and make notes on your own opinions.
Why should children take after-school classes
2. “I want my child to be a successful person.”
3. “It’s good for children to start learning from a young age.”
3a
After-school classes are good for the children’s future. They can help children get into good schools and universities.
Some of these classes help children get better grades at school. Better grades help children to feel good about themselves.
Some classes help children to learn important skills not taught at school. These skills may actually help children relax, e.g. playing a sport or playing a musical instrument.
People learn better at a younger age.
Children have more time than adults, so they should learn as much as they can before they get too busy to learn new things.
Your opinions:
Agree
After-school classes take away the children’s free time. Children have no time to relax and just do nothing.
Children may be so busy they have no time to understand and apply what they have been taught.
Some children are made to learn skills they are not interested in.
These classes cause the children to be stressed.
These classes take away the children’s childhood.
Disagree
Your opinions:
Dear …,
I don’t really agree with … because …
Although some parents are right about …, I think children should …

Then, explain why.

Write a letter to the magazine to express your opinions on after-school classes for children. Use the following expressions to help you.
Try to write two paragraphs.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I don’t really agree with what parents are saying about after-school classes because they only seem to think about getting their children into good schools or having successful children.
Although some parents are right about the importance of learning from a young age, I think children should be allowed to be children and have a carefree childhood.
In my opinion, it is important for parents not to push their children too hard.
Sample
I believe it is better if parents try to really understand their children’s interests and abilities first so that they will not make their children take classes that are not suitable for them.
Perhaps parents could let their children decide for themselves if they want to have any after-school classes. If children are allowed to take the classes they choose for themselves, they will benefit more from these classes. They will grow up to be not only successful in their own way but happy too.
Yours truly,
Weisong
