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

　 Jennie sat at her window as usual, looking out upon the street, with a look of sadness on her face,“What a long day this is going to be!”

　 Then she saw a little boy running down the street, swinging his schoolbag. Looking up to the window, he took off 　 41　 hat and bowed with a bright, pleasant smile.

　 “What a nice 　 42　 ,”said Jennie to herself, as the boy ran out of sight.“It seems like having the sunshine. I wish everybody who goes by would look up 　 43　 smile.”

　 George, the little boy, told his mother about that 　 44　 girl when he got back home,“She looks so helpless. I wish I could do something for her.”

George told his parents 　 53　 . They decided to help her. More and more people in the 　54　 gave Jennie friendly smiles when they passed by her house. She was greatly cheered up.
