A letter from
Dear Helen,
How are you My parents and I have some heated arguments these days, which makes me very anxious. I'm writing to ask you for help.
My parents are always comparing me with my friends. They require that I should make full use of every minute to work on my lessons. However, I think I can relax myself after a week's hard work. I know it is wrong to argue with them and I regret deeply now, but I don't know how to develop a good relationship with them. Would you please offer me some advice
I'm looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Teresa
