to 2 you. You and Dad went to bed already, so I decided to write down 3 feelings to you.

Taking so many different classes after 4 makes me feel really tired. Besides studying, I

can’t even do 5 . The cram school is the only place I go to after school. When other people are

having dinner 6 their family at home, I am learning English, the piano, swimming, composition,

etc. It’s 7 much for me! I wish I could play basketball, 8 to music, watch TV or just take a

rest like my classmates.

Stop treating me as a robot! I’m just a junior high school 9 . Studying is important, but I

have my own life. I promise I’ll do my best to study. Please let me have more 10 time.

Love,

Ted
