One possible version:
Less Pressure. Better Life
As middle school students, we face a lot of pressure in our daily lives. We always have too much homework and don't have enough sleep. We compete with classmates at school and sometimes argue with parents about grades. All of these make us stressed out.
So how can we have less pressure We can talk to our parents about our problems and hung out with friends. We can also play sports after school to be healthy. We shouldn't always think about competing with our classmates. Instend, helping each other to improve ourselves together is a good way. When we feel tired, we can listen to music or have a rest to relax ourselves. If we have less pressure, we' ll have better lives.
