Dear Tom,
I am glad to hear that you are interested in playing basketball, which is of great help to your health.
About the problem mentioned in your letter, I think you must put what you must do first, and then do
what you like. As a student, you have to attach great importance to your study. First, finish your homework
in time. Then arrange your time properly. In addition, you should learn to control yourself and make the
best use of your spear time. What I want to emphasize is that no one can succeed without hard work and
concentration, so you should learn to balance your study and basketball. You can spare free time playing basketball.
Hope things go all right with you!
Yours,
Li Hua
