I am always busy at weekends I am always busy at weekends I have not got any easy weekends any more since my sister's daughter started to go to a well-known high school in Tianjin this August, because she is quite difficult in Math, Physics and Chemistry that her mother cannot help with and asked me to work out the problems in her assignments. She had so many problems that I always spent the whole weekends working on them. Moreover, it is not very convenient for us to talk in video via Wechat since I don't live in Tianjin, but in Beijing instead. What makes me worried about her the most is that she is getting more and more unconfident in school. She told me she is scared of the examinations because she always gets the lowest scores in each name list that is post on the wall in the classroom. No one is willing to talk with her in the school, even last Monday when she had a fever and asked for a leave, the head teacher didn’t say any warm words. How will she spend three more years there? I can do nothing to change the teachers and the school, but to do my best to help with her courses at weekends though I have got really tired sometimes. 周末我总忙 自从我妹妹的女儿今年8月上了天津一所有名的高中之后,我就再也没有过过一个轻松的周末。因为她数学、物理和化学非常吃力,她妈妈帮不了她,就请我帮着解题。她有那么多问题,我总是要花整个周末来做题。并且, 因为我住北京,不住天津,我们通过微信视频聊天并不方便。 最让我担心的是,她在学校越来越不自信。她告诉我, 她怕考试,因为她总是教室墙上成绩单中分数最低的那个。在学校,没人愿意和她说话。甚至她上周一发烧了,跟班主任请假,班主任都没有什么暖人的话。她将怎么在那儿再待三年?我改变不了那儿的老师和学校, 只有竭尽全力周末帮她做功课,尽管有时我已经很累。 I would be very appreciated if someone could correct some parts of it.

I am always busy during the weekend

I am always busy during the weekend

I have not had any easy weekends since my sister's daughter started to go to a well-known high school in Tianjin this August, because she is having quite a difficult time in Math, Physics and Chemistry. Her mother cannot help with her daughter’s homework so she asked me to work out the problems in her assignments. My niece has so many problems that I always spend the whole weekend working on them. Moreover, it is not very convenient for us because we have to talk through video via Wechat since I don't live in Tianjin, but in Beijing instead.

What worries me about her the most is that she is getting more and more unconfident in school. She told me she is scared of the examinations because she always gets the lowest scores in each name list that is posted on the wall in the classroom. No one is willing to talk with her in the school, even last Monday when she had a fever and asked for a sick day, the head teacher didn’t say any warm words. How will she spend three more years there? I can do nothing to change the teachers and the school, but can only do my best to help with her courses during the weekends, though I get really tired sometimes.
