How to deal with stress
As a ninth grader, I often suffer from different kinds of stress. The main pressures come from too much schoolwork and worry about the future.
To deal with these problems, I have some good ways. When I feel stressed about studies, I listen to light music or talk to my close friends. These activities help me relax and feel better. And playing basketball also helps me relieve stress. Worrying about the future often leaves me in low spirits. To reduce the worry, I make a study plan and follow it step by step. It makes me feel more in control.
I believe stress is part of life. If we face it positively and find effective ways, we can overcome it.

Dear Peter,
I'm sorry to hear that you're stressed out about your problems. I want you to know you're not alone.
When I face problems, I try to stay calm. My favourite color, blue, helps me a lot. It reminds me of a peaceful sky or a calm ocean, which makes me feel relaxed. Just taking a moment to breathe and imagine the colour can clear my mind.
I also want to encourage you with what I've learned: a calm and positive attitude can make problems smaller. You are a strong person, and I believe you can get through this. Let's talk more soon—I'm here for you.
Hope my advice helps. Write back soon!
Yours,
Li Hua

【分析】首先明确写作任务：以李华的身份给情绪低落、压力大的英国笔友Peter回邮件，需覆盖三个指定要点：①自己处理问题的方式；②喜欢的颜色如何帮助自己；③自己的好性格如何帮助Peter。写作时要注意邮件的亲切语气，开头结尾已给出，中间补充内容需符合词数要求，避免真实信息，适当发挥。思路：先回应Peter的情绪，再依次阐述三个要点，最后鼓励对方，保持朋友间的真诚交流感。
【解析】邮件中间部分需依次完成三个要点：1. 说明自己面对问题时会保持冷静，通过具体方式（如平复情绪）体现；2. 介绍最喜欢的颜色为蓝色，解释蓝色能让人联想到平静的天空或海洋，帮助放松、理清思绪；3. 提及自己冷静积极的性格，鼓励Peter，表达会陪伴他。语言要口语化、亲切，符合笔友交流的语境，控制词数在要求范围内。
【答案】Dear Peter,
