Read the letter and write a response, addressing all of her questions and statements. Be sure to add more details and ask some of your own questions in return. Hello! Thank you for your letter. I was surprised to read that you have a job while you are a university student! Is that common? How is your routine different from other students’ routines? My life is differ- ent from other students’ lives because I spend two hours every day as a volunteer in a shelter. Taking care of animals is very important to me, so that is part of my routine. Do you have anything like that in your life? Do you have a job because that is something very important to you? I do think I need to change something about my routine. I want to improve my life, but I don’t know what to do. Here is my schedule: wake up at 9:00 a.m., eat breakfast at 10:00 a.m., work at the shelter at 11:00 a.m., go to class at 1:00 p.m., arrive home and eat dinner at 6:00 p.m., do homework at 7:00 p.m., and finally go to sleep at 9:00 p.m. What do you think? Do you have any advice for me? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
