Dear Worried Friend,
You wrote that you are very worried about your friend, Chen Lei. I understand quite well that you are anxious and feel terrible.You think that your friend plays computer games too often and spends too much time online.
quite well是副词短语作状语;that you are anxious and feel terrible是that引导的宾语从句。
I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour①. It is not unusual for teenagers② of your generation③ to be attracted to④ computer games and the online world. I am sure he will listen to you, since you are his good friend. . Some students even become addicted to⑥ the Internet and cannot concentrate on⑦ school and family life. I think you should encourage your friend to try⑧ new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together?But spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it very difficult to focus on⑤ other things in life
It is+adj.+for sb. to do sth.对某人来说做某事是……的。
※it是形式主语,不定式短语作真正的主语,sb.是不定式的逻辑主语。
makes it very difficult to focus on ...是“make+it+adj.+to do sth.”结构,it为形式宾语,to focus on ...是真正的宾语。
Why not do sth.?是Why don't you do sth.?的省略形式,为固定句式。此句式不表示原因,而是委婉地表达建议。
since you are his good friend为原因状语从句。since常用来表示人们已知的、不需强调的原因。
All the best⑨,
Susan Luo

亲爱的有烦恼的朋友,
你在信中写道,你十分担心你的朋友陈雷。我完全理解你的焦虑和担忧。你认为你的朋友玩电脑游戏过于频繁,而且上网时间太长。
我建议你直接和你的朋友谈谈他的行为。你们这一代的青少年被电脑游戏和网络世界吸引,这没有什么不正常。然而,花费太多时间上网有损健康,也会让你们很难把精力放在生活中的其他事情上。有些学生甚至上网成瘾,无法把精力集中在学习和家庭生活上。我认为你应该鼓励你的朋友去尝试一些新的爱好。你们为什么不一起讨论一下这个问题呢?我敢肯定他愿意听你的,因为你是他的好朋友。
祝一切顺利!
苏珊·罗
