You are Pat. Recently, you discovered that your friend Jason looked upset. He told you that he had a quarrel with his mum and his academic performance was declining too. Now write a letter to Jason giving him some encouragement and advising him on how he could resolve the conflicts with his mum and what he could do to improve his academic studies. Sign your letter “Pat”. Do NOT write any address.
Dear Jason,
How were your days last month? (Although I already know the answer, I just want to keep my manner.) Don’t be upset, man.
I know that you had a disastrous quarrel with your mum. You mum didn’t mean to have the long face all the time. Every mother in the world loves their sons. No matter how fierce a tiger is, it will never eat its son. All she does is to care about you, to wholeheartedly love you, to protect you from every danger you meet on your way to success.
In fact, your mum locked your computer in order to stop you from drowning in the computer games. I know that your computer means a lot to you but is it so important that you had to have a quarrel with your mum because of a thing without feelings? Although your mum has something wrong with herself also, can’t you just say a “sorry” to her? “Sorry” is an extremely strong and powerful word. I’m one hundred percent sure that your mum will say “sorry” to you right after you do it. You should have a deep thought of that.
Seriously, your academic performance was very, really dreadful. Come on man! Beat the temptation of your computer and come back. We’ve been sticking much less together since your mum bought you a brand new computer. Your mum is now doing the right thing. Locking your computer is really for your own benefit. (Sorry, I almost get back to that conversation again. Actually, I don’t really like the idea of scolding my friend). I’m sure your academic performance will not face the end that fast. I’m going to help you. That’s what a friend does, right?
Let’s go to school on Saturday and study together. I want to make it clear. You cannot reject me. You have once been our greatest No. 1. I’m definitely sure that you can get back to No. 2 (because No. 1 will be me!)
You’re my buddy. You are almost my other brother. Come back from your computer please! We are “the twins”, remember? Tomorrow is another day. The sunset doesn’t mean an end. There will certainly be sunrise again. We are best friends, man. I will always be your back. I always remember the days when we were over the moon. So do recover fast.
