1. 你的困難；   2. 尋求幫助。

DearAlex,

I’m Li Hua, a Senior 3 student. Occupied in preparing for my college entrance exams, I find it challenging to devote myself to study. Therefore, I’m writing for your assistance.

First of all, though spending to much time on homework, I hardly have time to take exercise. Plus, the more I think of the expectation from the teachers and my parents, the more stressed I feel. What troubles me most is that it’s a headache for me to fall asleep.

  Should you be kind to reply to me promptly I would be highly appreciated.                                                   

 Yours,

                                                                  Li Hua
