Thank you for sharing your problems to me. You stay up late every day. It is a common problem for a Grade 9 student. I think a best way to solve it is to manage your time carefully. Try to finish some homework during lunchtime at school instead of play basketball, and then you can go to bed a little early at night.Maybe too much noise at home is other reason that makes you stay up late. Your grandfather keeps the TV very loud because his hearing (听力) are not very good. How about losing your bedroom door when you study outside? Or perhaps you can talk him about your problem. I am sure he loves you very much that he will listen to you.I hope you think my advice is worth take .

Best wishes,

Ivan

He is very friend and quiet. He enjoys sleep on the sofa. He sometimes plays the football. He may be hungry if he shouts. I feed him every day and give him many clean water. I love to brush his hair but he enjoys it very much. Coco is my best friend, and I like him best! He never worries his life because I look after him.
