Dear Worried Friend,
But spending too much time online is
unhealthy and makes it very difficult
to focus on other things in life. Some students even become addicted to the Internet and cannot concentrate on
school and family life. I think you
should encourage your friend to try
new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together? I am sure he will
listen to you, since you are his good friends.
I recommend that you talk to your
friend about his behavior. It is not unusual for teenagers of your
generation to be attracted to computer games and the online world.
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.
All the best,
Susan Luo

为了帮助中学生健康成长,某中学英文报开辟了“HEART TO HEART”专栏。假设你是该栏目的编辑Jamie,收到一封署名为Worried的求助信。信中该同学向你诉说了自己的困扰:近日容易发脾气,使正常的学习和生活受到了影响。请你用英文给该同学写一封回信。
内容要点如下:
1.表示理解并给予安慰;
2.提出建议并说明理由。
Writing:
Hi Worried,
I'm sorry to know that you are having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don't have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you'll regret.
Here are three tips for you. First of all, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Besides, I recommend that you go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of your anger. What’s more, why not be optimistic about your future? Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope my advice is helpful and you'll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours,
Jamie
