Dear Sigmund Friend
I am a Grade 9 student. I have   21  problem, and I do not know how to deal   22  it.
I have a lot of homework every day, and I have no choice   23   to do it. I often stay up late to complete  24  , and then feel tired the next day.
Sometimes, I want to   25  to do so much work, but usually I just accept it. I understand that it is important to do my homework and   26   on time. However, I hardly have any spare time for my hobbies   27  playing volleyball and ping-pong. I really feel bad about that. I often doubt whether it is worth   28   so hard.
I am   29  a holiday without homework so that I can relax and have some time for my hobbies. What should I do? Can you offer me some suggestions? They will be of great value to me. I hope to    30   you soon.
Best wishes
Millie

 My mum only had one eye. She cooked for students and teachers to    16    the family when I was young.

   One day my mum came to 　17  hello to me in primary school. I was so embarrassed（尴尬的） that I threw her a hateful  18  and ran out.

     I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was still an embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
