Sample
Dear Mom and Dad,
I am writing this letter to say “Thank You” for everything you do for me.
Junior high is a new start, and it's different from primary school. The classes are harder, and there's more homework. I also have to learn how to make new friends. It's exciting but sometimes a little scary.
I feel a bit tired these days because I have a lot to do, and I don’t know how to use my time. I want to do well in school, but I also want to have time for fun and relax. I think this is my problem right now.
To solve this problem, I decide to make a plan. I will write down when I need to study and do other things. I will also talk to my teachers if I need help with my schoolwork. I will try my best and work hard. Thank you for always supporting me.
With love,
Mia
