Some even "pull all-nighters"(开夜车). These are lazy students who have homework due (到期) the next day that they haven't ______(做). In the morning they don't look healthy and you can tell who's been doing it.

Tina’s problem
Dear Dr Helper,
I’m a Grade 9 student. I am now in great need of your help because I can hardly
stand the great pressure.
Every day I have to stay at school for nine hours to have lessons and spend at least three to four hours doing my homework at home. We teenagers enjoy playing,but we hardly have any time to do what we want to do. Besides, we often don’t have enough sleep. Even worse, I fell alseep in my math class. How I wish I could have a good sleep!
It seems that the pressure comes from exam, too much homework and the high expectation from the parents. We are often told that if we don’t do our best won’t have the chance to go to university.
I write the letter only to wish that I could have somebody to talk to. I’m not sure what to expect. I am looking forward to your advice.
Yours sincerely
Tina

Dear Tina,
I’m sorry to hearthat you’re tired these days.
The problem is that you should learn to relax yourself,like listening to light music, talking with friends and doing exercise. It’s not necessary for you to spend all the time studying. I’m sure you can study better after relaxation.
You also need to plan your time carefully.It’s true that you can’t go to university if you don’t work hard.That’s the chance you can’t miss. All the hard work will be rewarded in the future. Maybe talking with your teachers is helpful.
I hope you’ll achieve your dream if you study that way.
Best wishes!
Yours Dr Helper
