书面表达： 假如你是Kate，你的朋友Mary感到很沮丧，因为她的学习压力很大，作业又多，英语成绩又不好。

Dear Mary,

i am really sorry to hear that you are studying under great pressure now. I know that you have too much homework to do and can't get good grades in English.

Don't worry. I was through this as well before. But my mum gave me some suggestions that worked. So I would like to share with you.

First, be attentive at class. Don't just sit there listening to the teacher. Do participate and answer questions even if sometimes you don't know the proper answer.

Second, don't be afraid of asking questions. If you encounter any problems in doing your homework, please do ask your classmates, your teachers, and your parents about them. It is no shame in itself. But once you know the answer, do remeber it by heart.

Third, do take some time playing. You need to relax a bit after school. You can watch TV, play table tennis, take a walk, play computer games, and talk with your parents. It is really important to know that study isn't everything in life.

Try to follow my suggestions above and I am sure you will feel better later on.

I am looking forward to talking with you soon.

Yours Sincerely,
Kate
