I have   5  friends, and we always play football together at school or in the park after school. We like staying out late to play football. We often play for three hours or more and forget when to stop. Then I   6   trouble at home because my parents do not allow me to play outside after 6 p.m. I really do not understand why they are so strict. I feel stressed and angry     7  . I believe it is important for us to spend some time on our hobbies. They can help us relax and make our lives    8  .I wish I could have my parents’   9  .
Is it bad to stay out late to play football? Should I spend less time on it? I really do not know   10  . Can you please advise me how to achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies? Thanks a lot.
