Dear Sigmund Friend

My name is Simon and I am a Grade 9 student. I am crazy 　31　 football! I love 　32 　football, reading about football, and of course, playing football. My dream 　33 a great football player. However, my love of football has become a big problem, and I would like your 　34　 .

I have 　35 friends, and we always play football together at school or in the park after school. We like staying out late to play football. We often play for three hours or more and forget when to stop. Then I 　36　 trouble at home because my parents do not allow me to play outside after 6 p.m. I really do not understand why they are so strict. I feel stressed and angry　　 37　 . I believe it is important for us to spend some time on our hobbies. They can help us relax and make our lives 　 38　 .I wish I could have my parents’ 　39　 .

Is it bad to stay out late to play football? Should I spend less time on it? I really do not know　 40　 . Can you please advise me how to achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies? Thanks a lot.

Best wishes

Simon

Dear Sigmund Friend

I am a Grade 9 student. I have 　21 problem, and I do not know how to deal 　22 it.

I have a lot of homework every day, and I have no choice 　23　 to do it. I often stay up late to complete 24 , and then feel tired the next day.

Sometimes, I want to 　25 to do so much work, but usually I just accept it. I understand that it is important to do my homework and 　26　 on time. However, I hardly have any spare time for my hobbies 　27　 playing volleyball and ping-pong. I really feel bad about that. I often doubt whether it is worth　 28　 so hard.
