假设你叫林洋，收到了你的笔友Susan的一封信，请你给她写一封回信。在信中回答她的问题，提出你的建议，并就此事谈谈你的看法。
Dear Lin Yang,
I have a problem these days. My mother doesn’t allow me to watch TV even on weekends. She says as a middle school student, my job is to study. After I finish my homework, she says, I should read books and watching TV is bad for me. But I think I need a rest and watching TV helps me learn a lot too.
Do you have the same problem? What do you think of my mother’s decision? What should I do?
Yours,
Susan
