This will give you a chance to speak to them without distractions.

While-writing
One possible version:
10 September 2018
Dear Xu Ting，
You wrote that you always feel lonely after school because your parents work in another city. I understand how you feel. It is common for teenagers to feel lonely when they live away from their parents. I think you can try joining a volunteer group that helps other people. This will give you a chance to meet and be around others. It will also help you realise that you are not alone in having problems and that many other people have problems， too. Helping other people also makes us feel better. You can also connect with your parents online. Just because your parents are far away，it doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them. I am sure that you’ll make new friends and get a chance to speak to your parents more often. This will help drive away your loneliness.
Best wishes，
Susan Luo
