根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Dear Dad,

    I know you are busy. You have a lot to do in the army (部队), but I am hoping you can help me out anyway. I' m thinking of quitting (离开) the football team, and I want to know your advice.

    Don't be surprised. It's just that I have so much homework to do this year. If I play with the football team, I won't have enough time to finish my homework. And I'm the only man of the house while you are away, so I have more housework to do.

On the other hand, I've put in two years on the team. I love football more than any other sport in the world. I' m a really good player. And the coach says I will make captain (队长) soon. So I really don't want to quit.

    Dad, what do you think? Should I try something new that will take less time? My friends on the football team are great. We will be friends to the end, but it will be cool (妙极了) to meet some new kids, right?

    I miss (想念) you so much! Please write back to me soon.

    Paolo
