Dear Li Hua,

　 I’m in Grade Nine this year. I study hard and do my homework carefully every day. It takes most of my time to study and I have to give up taking exercise. I sleep late and get up early but I feel so tired often. I want to spend some of my spare time building up my body. But I’m afraid it’ll influence my study. The entrance examination to high school is coming, I’m nervous. How can I arrange(安排) my time between study and sports? I need your help.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Yours,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Lucy

Dear Lucy,

　　　 I’m happy to hear from you.
