Dear Mr Friend,
My name is Simon, and I am in Grade 9. I am crazy about football. I love watching football, reading about football, and, of course, playing football. However, my love of football has become the
cause of my problem. ⑧
I always play football with my friends after school. We often play for hours and never worry about the time. Sometimes we forget when we should stop.

Then I get into trouble because my parents do not allow me to play outside after p.m. I do not understand why they are so strict with me. ⑨ I feel angry sometimes. I believe it is important to develop our hobbies. They help us relax and make our lives more interesting.
