An Email to Aunt Linda for Advice
Dear Aunt Linda,
I’ve been a big fan of your advice page for a long time. Your suggestions always help a lot, so I’m writing to ask for your help with a problem that’s been troubling me.
I’m in Grade 9 now, and my parents are very strict about my study. They don’t allow me to join any after-school clubs or hang out with friends on weekends. Every free minute is filled with extra classes and homework. I understand they care about my exam results, but I feel really stressed and lonely. I even started to dislike studying recently. I’ve tried talking to them, but they just say I should focus on my studies first.
I don’t know how to make them understand my feelings. Should I keep trying to communicate with them, or is there another way to balance study and relaxation? Could you give me some practical advice?
Thanks for reading my email. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

给琳达阿姨的求助邮件
亲爱的琳达阿姨:
我一直是你咨询专栏的忠实读者。你的建议总是很有帮助,所以我写这封邮件,想请你帮我解决一个一直困扰我的问题。
我现在上九年级了,父母对我的学习要求非常严格。他们不允许我参加任何课后俱乐部,周末也不让我和朋友出去玩。每一分钟空闲时间都被课外班和作业占满了。我明白他们关心我的考试成绩,但我感到非常有压力,也很孤独。最近我甚至开始讨厌学习了。我试着和他们沟通过,但他们只是说我应该先专注于学习。
我不知道怎样才能让他们理解我的感受。我应该继续试着和他们沟通,还是有其他方法能平衡学习和放松?你能给我一些实用的建议吗?
感谢你阅读我的邮件,期待你的回复。
你真诚的,
李华

【拓展1范文】
Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear that your grades have dropped because of phone games. I know you’re worried about it, so I want to share some advice that might help.
First, you can set a strict time limit for playing games—for example, only 30 minutes after finishing all your homework every day. This will help you focus on study first. Second, try to find other hobbies to replace phone games, like playing basketball or reading books. When you feel like playing games, you can do these activities instead. Third, communicate with your parents about your plan. They can remind you when you exceed the time limit and give you support.
It’s not easy to break a bad habit, but if you stick to these suggestions, you’ll surely make progress. Remember, the key is to control yourself. I believe you can do it!
Yours,
Zhang Min
【拓展1译文】
亲爱的彼得:
听说你因为手机游戏导致成绩下滑,我很为你难过。我知道你很焦虑,所以想分享一些可能有用的建议。
首先,你可以给玩游戏设定严格的时间限制——比如,每天完成所有作业后只玩30分钟。这会帮助你先专注于学习。其次,试着找其他爱好来代替手机游戏,比如打篮球或看书。当你想去玩游戏时,就可以做这些活动。第三,和父母沟通你的计划,他们可以在你超时的时候提醒你,还能给你支持。
改掉坏习惯并不容易,但如果你坚持这些建议,一定会取得进步。记住,关键是要控制自己。我相信你能做到!
你的,
张敏

【拓展2范文】
Nowadays, many teenagers suffer from lack of sleep because of too much homework. This problem has become a big concern for both parents and teachers.
Most students have to stay up until after 11 p.m. to finish their homework, and they only get less than 7 hours of sleep every day. This makes them feel tired in class, so they often zone out when the teachers are talking. It also weakens their memory and makes them easily annoyed.
To solve this problem, students should plan their time wisely. They can make a daily schedule to finish homework step by step and improve their study efficiency. Meanwhile, they can communicate with teachers politely to reduce unnecessary homework. A good balance between study and sleep will help teenagers grow healthily.
【拓展2译文】
如今,很多青少年因为作业过多而睡眠不足。这个问题已经成为父母和老师都非常关注的事情。
大多数学生不得不熬夜到晚上11点以后才能完成作业,每天的睡眠时间只有不到7小时。这让他们在课堂上感到疲惫,所以老师讲课的时候他们经常走神。这还会削弱他们的记忆力,让他们很容易烦躁。
为了解决这个问题,学生们应该合理规划时间。他们可以制定每日计划表,一步步完成作业,提高学习效率。同时,他们可以礼貌地和老师沟通,减少不必要的作业。学习和睡眠的良好平衡会帮助青少年健康成长。
