dear ralph，
i"m a middle school student. i"m writing to tell you my problem which has troubled me for a long time. it is the relationship between my mother and me. my mother is a university professor，who works very hard. she is strict with me，but she is so busy with her work that she finds little time to talk to me.
i love her and i do well in my studies，but i still feel a little afraid of her because she loses her temper easily. i don"t know how to communicate with her. maybe it"s because we have seldom sat down and exchanged our feelings and thoughts .
i hope we can know more about each other and understood each other better. i do hope we"ll be closer. what can i do?
looking forward to your reply.
best wishes!
yours sincerely
shifeng
