假设你叫林洋，收到了你的笔友Susan的一封信，请你给她写一封回信。在信中回答她的问题，提出你的建议，并就此事谈谈你的看法。

Dear Lin Yang,

I have a problem these days. My mother doesn’t allow me to watch TV even on weekends. She says as a middle school student, my job is to study. After I finish my homework, she says, I should read books and watching TV is bad for me. But I think I need a rest and watching TV helps me learn a lot too.

Do you have the same problem? What do you think of my mother’s decision? What should I do?

Yours,

Susan

I am a writer. My job is to write something for the newspaper. I work very hard. Every morning I get up at seven. I take some exercise and then have a light breakfast. Then I drive to my office. It takes me thirty minutes, so I usually get there earlier than others.
I am very busy. I think every minute counts, so I plan my work very carefully. I keep a diary to help me remember things. I meet and talk with many people. I make lots of telephone calls. I often go out and visit many people. I come back home at seven. I often watch TV at supper time. Then I begin to write down what I know. I like being busy.
