Dear Dad,

    I know you are busy. You have a lot to do in the army but I'm hoping you can help me out anyway. I'm thinking of quitting (离开) the soccer team, and want to know your advice.

    Don t be surprised. It's just that I have so much homework to do this year. If I play with the soccer team, I won't have enough time to finish my homework. And I'm the only man of the house while you are away, so I have more housework to do.

    On the other hand, I've put in two years on the team. I love soccer more than any other sport in the world. I' m a really good player. And the coach (教练) says I will make captain (队长) soon. So I really don't want to quit.

    Dad, what do you think? Should I try something new that will take less time? My friends on the soccer team are great. We will be friends to the end, but it will be cool to meet some new kids, right?

    I miss you so much! Please write back to me soon.

                                                                      Paolo
