Invite them out for something to eat.

Join a volunteer group.
Connect with your parents online.
This will give you a chance to be around other people, and help you realize that other people have problems, too.
Just because they are far away, it doesn’t mean that you can’t talk to them.

Ask a mutual friend to introduce you to her.
Find chances to get together in groups where she is a group member.
Your friend will be able to help you break the ice (打破沉默) with her and provide encouragement to you.
If you are in a group, it takes all the pressure off, and you can interact with her in a relaxing setting.
Passage 1
Dear Eric,
You wrote that you are worried about that your parents won't listen when you tell them things.I understand that you are anxious and feel terrible.
I think there are reasons for you to listen to your parents or you can also invite them out for something to eat. Maybe they aren’t listening to you because you don’t listen to them. And eating together will give you a chance to speak to them without distractions.
I 'm sure that if you can put yourself in their shoes, you may find a better way out to communicate with your parents.
Best wishes,
Yours lovely
Passage 2
Dear Xu Ting,
You wrote that you always feel lonely after school because your parents work in another city.I understand that you need parents' love and care greatly, which is natural/necessary.
I think you join a volunteer group and you can also connect with your parents online. Because this will give you a chance to be around other people, and help you realize that other people have problems, too. Talking online is helpful too. Although they are far away, it doesn’t mean that you can’t talk to them.
I'm sure that in this way you will feel relaxed and much better.
Best wishes,
Yours faithfully
Passage 3
Dear Min Ho,
I am glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to talk to the girl you like. It’s my great pleasure to give you some suggestions.
First of all, it is advisable to ask a mutual friend to introduce you to her. Your friend will be able to help you break the ice with her and provide encouragement to you. Besides, if I were you, I would find chances to get together in groups where she is a group member. When you are both in the same group, it takes all the pressure off, and you can interact with her in a relaxing setting.
I do hope you will find these recommendations practical. And I will be more than happy to see your improvements in the relationship with the girl.
Yours,
Susan Luo

A Possible Version:
Dear Simon,
Having read your letter, I am sorry to learn that you are having trouble with your study and hobby. This problem will be more serious unless you take some effective measures. Here are my suggestions.
Above all, you are required to plan your day carefully. It would be a good idea to make a list of all the homework you have to do, which will give you an idea of how much free time you can have to play basketball. Besides, don’t give up your hobby but do not forget about your study, either. What matters most is that you should keep a balance between study and hobby.
I do hope my advice will be of some value to you. Please feel free to contact me for in-depth discussion.
Yours,
Li Hua
THANK YOU!
