Dear friends,
    I’m a middle school student. I work hard and I’m good at studying, but I feel unhappy all day, because
I have some problems. I am always stressed out(有压力的), because my parents and teachers all hope
that I can go to a very good university. I have to study from morning to night. On weekends, my parents
don’t let me meet friends or talk with friends on the phone. I can’t play computer games, either. They ask me to have piano lessons every Sunday afternoon. They don’t care whether (是否) I like it or not. Having lessons , doing homework and practicing the piano are all my life. I find it difficult to get relaxed. I really
want to have time to do the things I like , but I don’t know what to do. Can you help me?
                                                                                                                                             Yours,
