Because of my studies, I am far away from my hometown and friends, and I am alone.Alone in a place far from home, my parents often worry about me.They send me messages asking if I've had enough for three meals.We all miss each other so much.The best time to look forward to is the holidays together as a family.Recently, my father wrote again, and it was the same as before.They care about my life and my studies, and I am working hard.I hope I can live up to my efforts and become a useful person in the future.
