Dear Li Xiang,
I’m glad to know you love singing, but I also hear you’re worried about study. Here’s my advice. You can make a daily plan: study for one hour after school first, then go to singing practice. Why not use short breaks to review English words It helps save time. Also, talk to your music teacher—maybe cut one practice a week for study. You can do both well!
Yours,
Uncle Wang
