Dear Sigmund Friend
My name is Simon and I am a Grade
9 student. I am crazy 31 football! I love 32
football, reading about football, and of course, playing
football. My dream 33 a
great football player. However, my love of football has become a big problem,
and I would like your 34 .
I have 35 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 36 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 37 . I believe it is important
for us to spend some time on our hobbies. They can help us relax and make our
lives 38 .I wish I could have my parents’ 39 .
Is it bad to stay out late to
play football? Should I spend less time on it? I really do not
know 40 . Can you please advise me how to
achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies? Thanks a lot.
Best wishes
Simon
