Dear Simon,

????Having read your letter, I am sorry to learn that you are having trouble with your study and hobby. This problem will be more serious unless you take some effective measures. Here are my suggestions.

????Above all, you are required to plan your day carefully. It would be a good idea to make a list of all the homework you have to do, which will give you an idea of how much free time you can have to play basketball. Besides, don’t give up your hobby but do not forget about your study, either. What matters most is that you should keep a balance between study and hobby.

????I do hope my advice will be of some value to you. Please feel free to contact me for in-depth discussion.???????????????????????

Yours,
