Dear Editor,

    I'm a senior high student in a key school of Banding city.  I'm fond of play basketball  It is known by us that the college entrance examination is approaching and we should get good prepared for it.  Thus I had no choice but play basketball just on holidays.  However, I really hope to do it every day, and my parent insist that I give it up.  They think learning is their first task and I should throw whole of myself into study.  How do you think of it? Could you give me some advice on how to deal with the problem?

    I am looking forward to your early reply.
