Write about 250-300 words in the space provided.

Read the following letter from your friend, Joshua, and write a letter of advise to him.

Dear Chris,

I am devastated. The last we spoke, I shared that after spending hours and hours in a
video game, I finally became the number 1 player in Hong Kong. All those hours and
money spent on the game were worth it! I was ecstatic and told my parents I want to
compete in e-sports professionally. However, they shot down the idea immediately and
said I should focus on my studies. But I only failed in Chinese, that’s all! They
confiscated my laptop and told me they’ll give me less pocket money since I was
spending it on “unnecessary” things. I really don’t know how to talk to them. What
should I do?

Joshua
