Dear Charlie，
How are you getting along? Recently I have quarreled with my parents, which makes me very annoyed. I am writing to ask you for help.
You know, my parents don’t allow me to go out and play with my friends at weekends. They think I should make full use of every minute to work on my lessons. However, I think I need to play with my friends so that I can relax myself after a week’s hard work at school and it is a good way for me to keep in touch with my friends. I know it is wrong to quarrel with them, but I don’t know what to do to persuade them to change their mind and develop a good relationship with them. Would you please offer me some advice?
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
