Dear Mike,
I’m sorry to hear that you have problems with your parents.
As for your problems, I have two pieces of advice. First, listen to the teachers carefully in class and finish your homework on time every day. Make sure that you won’t fall behind. Second, have a talk with your parents. You should let them know that doing sports won’t take up your study time. Instead, it’s good for your study and health.
Just be patient with your parents, I think they will understand you.
Yours,
Li Hua
