Dear Mr Friend,
亲爱的弗兰德先生：
My name is Simon, and I am in Grade 9. I am crazy about football. I love watching football, reading about football, and, of course, playing football.
我叫西蒙，是一名9年级的学生。我非常喜欢足球。我喜欢看足球比赛，阅读有关足球方面的书籍；当然也踢足球。
However, my love of football has become the cause of my problem.
然而，我对足球的着迷一起了一系列问题。
I always play football with my friends after school. We often play for hours and never worry about the time. Sometimes we forget when we should stop.
我总是和我的朋友们放学后踢足球。我们经常一踢就是好几个小时，并且从不担心时间问题。有时候我们忘记我们应该何时停止踢足球。
Then I get into trouble because my parents do not allow me to play outside after 6 p.m. I do not understand why they are so strict with me. I feel angry sometimes.
之后我就陷入麻烦了，因为我的父母不允许我在6点之后出去玩。我不理解他们为什么对我如此严格。我有时候感到非常气愤。
I believe it is important to develop our hobbies. They help us relax and make our lives more interesting.
我相信培养我的业余爱好非常重要。它们有助于我们放松并且让我们的生活更有趣。
Is it bad to stay out late to play football? Should I spend less time on it? I wonder how I can achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies. I look forward to your valuable advice.
在外面踢足球踢得很晚不好吗？我应该少花点时间踢足球吗？怎么才能平衡学习与爱好之间的？我期待您的宝贵建议。
Best wishes, Simon Lua
祝好！西蒙·罗
