28?. Dear Xiao Ming,
How are you doing recently?
I heard that you spend much time playing with your smartphone. Smartphones are becoming more and more important in our lives, as they can help us search the information we need and keep in touch with our friends, anytime, anywhere. But if you become addicted to it, it'll be harmful to you. It is not only had for your eyesight but may also have a bad influence on your study.
I think you should take a more active part in different kinds of activities in your free time rather than always using your phone. We all know you are a smart boy. You are sure to do better in the study if you spend less time using smartphones.
Yours,
Liu Chang
