　　Dear William，

　　Recently, I have heard that you feel stressed about study. Here is some advice on how to study effectively.

　　First of all, learn in a relaxing way. This will remove our pressure, making study an easy job. Another way to keep up our spirits is to take part in sports. Not only does exercise build up the body, but also it provides us time to relax and fresh our mind, making us memorize things faster and longer. Music, too, is another effective means of refreshing and helping us concentrate better.

　　Last but not least, we should exchange ideas with our classmates. Through the communication we can find support, which will encourage us to overcome difficulties in our study.

　　I hope these can benefit you.

　　Best wishes!
