Dear Becky,
I hear that your father is really worried about you because you’re as busy as a bee these days. I think study is really important. It’s necessary to try your best to prepare for the final exams. Just as the saying goes, “no pain, no gain”.
However, you’re doing so many things at the same time. If you keep burning the candle at both ends, you’ll be easy to get sick.
Therefore, you’d better give up something less important. You know all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Best wishes
Yours,
…
