Dear Jack，

I learned that you often stay up very late studying these days. I'm writing to persuade you to give up the bad habit.

Staying up late at night is harmful to your health. It may cause headaches and even make you ill. What's more, you may find it difficult to concentrate on your studies at school. As a result, you'll soon fall behind with your school work.

Therefore, you should make a good daily work plan. Finish your daily work on time and don't leave it until night. After all, it's most important to keep healthy, isn't it?

I hope you'll consider my suggestions.

Yours， Li Hua
