【答案】例文
Dear Lin Lei,
I’ve received your letter and I know you argued with your parents. I think arguing is not a good way to solve problems. Parents care about us, and long hours of gaming can harm your health and studies.
Here are my suggestions. First calm down and talk to your parents politely. Tell them your feelings and listen to their concerns. Second, make a schedule to balance gaming and study. For example, finish homework first, then play games for a short time as a reward.
I hope you can make up with your parents soon and enjoy a harmonious family life.
Yours,
Tony
