例文
Dear Alex,
I’m sorry to know about your problems. But it’s normal for a student. Here is my advice.
As we know, health must come first, so please don’t stay up late. Go to bed early to get enough sleep. Besides, too much pressure is also bad for your health. Why not relax yourself by listening to music or playing sports As for study, listening carefully in class and taking notes are good ways. And if you meet any trouble, you’d better ask the teacher for help. You can also work with your classmates to solve the problems.
Hope my advice can be helpful.
Yours,
Mario
