Millie and Simon have some problems. They wrote to Mr Sigmund Friend, a famous youth worker, and asked for some advice. Here are their letters.
Reading
Dear Mr Friend,
I am Millie, and I am a Grade 9 student. I have a problem, and I do not know how I should deal with it.
I have a lot of homework every day, and I have no choice but to do it. I often have to stay up late. Then I sometimes find it hard to stay awake the next day.
I know it is important to finish all my homework on time. However, I hardly have any spare time for my hobbies like volleyball and music. I cannot imagine my life without hobbies. I often doubt whether it is worth spending so much time on homework.
I dream of a long holiday so that I could have more time for my hobbies. What should I do Can you offer me some suggestions I hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes,
Millie Wang
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.
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. I feel angry sometimes. I believe it is important to develop our hobbies. They help us relax and make our lives more interesting.
Is it bad to stay out late to play football Should I spend less time on it I wonder how I can achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies. I look forward to your valuable advice.
Best wishes, Simon Luo
