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.

I am 　29　 a holiday without homework so that I can relax and have some time for my hobbies. What should I do? Can you offer me some suggestions? They will be of great value to me. I hope to 　 30　 you soon.

Best wishes

Millie
