Dear Jack,
Recently, I have heard that you feel stressed about studying. I would like to offer you some advice on how to study effectively.
First of all, you should learn in a relaxing way, which will ease your pressure and make your study an easy job. One way to keep your spirits up, I believe, is to regularly participate in sports. Not only does exercise build up the body, but it also provides you with time to relax and refresh yourself. Listening to music, undoubtedly,
14
is another effective means of refreshment for mind and body.Last but not least, you are supposed to exchange ideas with your classmates and friends.
I hope my advice will be of some help to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Susan,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble adapting yourself to your new school life in America, but this situation can be easily changed if you take my advice.
Firstly, you should work hard at English, which can give you more opportunities to communicate with others. Secondly, why not make some friends? They can help you to know more about America, and friendship can help you to forget your loneliness. Thirdly, it would be a good idea to take an active part in all kinds of activities, which will help to make life more interesting.
19
By doing so, you will be happier with your new life soon. I hope you will find these ideas useful.
Yours,
Li Hua
