Đề bài: Helen has a lot of homework but she does not want to miss her Piano class. Write a letter to give her some advice.

Bài mẫu tham khảo:

Dear Helen,

I understand how stressful it is to manage both schoolwork and personal interests at the same time. But do not worry. I believe with proper planning, you can handle both.
Firstly, try breaking your homework into smaller tasks and create a clear timetable. This way, you can complete parts of it before and after your piano class. You might also consider waking up a bit earlier or using lunch breaks wisely to save time.

If the workload is still too heavy, talk to your teacher and explain the situation. They may give you a short extension or help you prioritize the important parts.
Remember, both education and passion are important, so keep a balance.
All the best,
