 讀寫任務(wù)（共1小題，滿分25分）

    閱讀下面的書信，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。

Dear David,

         I am writing you this email because you're so busy every day with your studies and after-school activities that we seldom have chances to talk face-to-face. There is something that I am very worried about.

         You have always been an active boy, willing to help others and always looking for an opportunity to try something new or learn something different. I think these are wonderful qualities but I am concerned that they may be affecting your studies. In the past three months alone you have joined at least four different student clubs. I see these activities taking up more and more of your time. You're always discussing something with your classmates or surfing online. You're also devoting less time to homework and even your teachers say you are looking very sleepy in class.

         I know that these kinds of activities are fun and can help your development, but I think they have started to damage your performance at school. Please remember the most important thing at this stage of your life is your studies. Right now you should do your best in your examinations as it will give you more choices is your future. I beg you to focus on your main goal and not to throw away all your years of hard work

Your loving mother

Answer 1

【答案】

Dear mum,

I’ve just received your email expressing your concern that I am being distracted from my studies because of my many after-school activities and the consequences of this for my future.

(or: I’ve just received your email expressing your concern about my participation in so many after-school activities, the effect of this on my study performance and its consequences for my future.)

I appreciate what you say and am sorry to have caused you so much worry. I’m also touched that you understand my reasons for being attracted to such activities.

It is true that I have been spending a lot of time with these groups but please don’t worry. I find that these groups help me to relax, develop my thinking, and actually improve my school performance, although my teacher is right that I do sometimes feel tired in class.

For this reason, and to also relieve you of your worry, I have decided to limit my participation to only two groups this term. This way I can still enjoy the outside activities without it affecting either you or my study performance.

Love,

David
