Dear Lily,
Glad to receive your letter. I know you're having trouble with your piano-playing competition. Don't worry! Here are some ideas for you.
First, make a plan and follow it. Spend more time practicing the piano and less time on your part-time job. Second, talk to your piano teacher. Teachers are always ready to help students. They can give you good advice. Third, be positive. Believe in yourself. You have good skills. If you play with confidence, you'll do well.
I hope I can hear some good news from you very soon.
