version for reference:
It is a long time since I last wrote to you. Considering the fact that you have missed many classes because of being occupied with a variety of talent shows, I suppose it necessary to offer you some proposals to help you realize the importance of balancing your study and hobby.
As we all know, study is of the greatest importance to us all now. Nothing is more important than obtaining sufficient knowledge and cultivating good study habits so as to face the changing circumstances and the competitive society. Therefore, you’d better come back to class immediately and make up for what you have missed these days with the help of the teachers and classmates.
However, I don’t mean you have to give up your hobby. Since you are particularly gifted with music and dance, it is wise of you to spend some of your spare time on talent shows to yourself and broaden your horizons. Maybe it is perfect for you to attend an art-specialized university with your great efforts.
I really hope you can take into consideration my suggestion that you set aside your talent shows for the time being and devote more time to study now.
