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 complete24 , 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 29a 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

When I was about 12, a girl in my class liked to point out my problems. I was too thin; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much, I was too 46 , and so on. At last, I became very angry and ran to my father. He listened to me 47 . Then he asked, "Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a 48 of what she said and find the 49 that are true."
I did as he told me. To my great 50 , I discovered that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin). But there were things I could and wanted to change. For the 51 time, I got a clear 52 of myself.
I brought the list back to Dad. He refused to take it. "That’s just for you. " he said, "You know the truth about 53 better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you, you should find it helpful. "
Our world is full of people who think they know your business. Don’t 54 your ears and feel 55 . Listen to them.

My name is Lily. My father is a teacher. His students love him a lot because he is funny. I love him, too, but I think he can be “foolish” 41 .
Once we moved into a new house and had to go shopping to buy new chairs and lights. In the supermarket, I’m interested 42 some of the beautiful lights with good qualities and made my father buy them.
When we got home, my father began to work out how much money we had 43 that day. Suddenly, he stopped. “Something’s wrong.” he said. “I’ve got 30 yuan 44 than I should!”“That’s great,” I said. “You can buy me that 45 book I want.”
Father said nothing. Instead, he counted(数) how much money he had again and again.
“The salesgirl must have made a mistake. We 46 go back to the shop,” he said.
“Do you have to go back?” I asked. “Nobody will know we 47 too much change(找零). It would be foolish to go back.”
“It wouldn’t be ‘foolish’.” my father said angrily. “It’s called being 48 .” At that moment, I looked into his eyes and knew he was right.
The salesgirl was surprised to see us in the shop again. But 49 we gave her the money, she thanked us a lot.
On my way home, my father stopped me 50 smiled. “Do you still want that cartoon book?” he asked. I looked at my “foolish” father and answered loudly, “Father, you are the greatest!”
