Dear Dad and Mum,
Thanks for your letter, and thank you for your care and encourage me all the way.
It’s true that junior high is different from primary school. Primary school was like a hill, it was short and easy to climb, but junior high is like a mountain, it’s tall and hard. There are more subjects, and I have to do much homework. My maths is not very good. So sometimes I feel worried, but my teachers and classmates are kind and they often help me. There is a saying,“No pain, no gain.” I am going to try my best and do well in all my subjects. I will go through storms towards the sea.
With love,
Mia
