Answer 1

Hello Mary!

I think you must talk to your parents. Tell them about your problems. They are your close people and always help you. I am doing at school well. I don't get a lot of top marks but I try. You can also ask  your teachers to help - maybe to explain something you don't undestand. Do you have a lot of free time? What do you do at your free time? Do you like reading or listening to music? Do you like doing any sports? 

I have to go. Write me soon.

Answer 2

Dear Andy,

I hope this letter finds you well. I was sorry to hear that you haven't been doing well at school lately and that your parents are angry with you. It's understandable that this situation is making you unhappy. I think it would be a good idea to talk to your parents and explain how you feel. Communication is key in resolving conflicts and misunderstandings. Let them know that you are trying your best at school, but you are struggling to get top marks. Perhaps they can offer you some guidance or support to improve your performance.

As for me, I have been doing reasonably well at school. Although my grades are not as good as yours, I have been trying my best. It's important to remember that everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, and it's okay if we don't always achieve top marks.

Now, let me answer your questions. In terms of your free time, what activities do you enjoy doing when you're not at school? Do you have any hobbies or interests that you are passionate about? How do you usually spend your weekends? Are there any particular places you like to visit or things you like to do?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon and learning more about your free time activities. Take care!

Best regards, [Your Name]
