At school we play a lot of team sports like soccer, baseball and basketball. My favourite team sport is basketball. I’m good at it because I’m very tall. I play basketball two days a week on Wednesdays and Fridays. I also go swimming at school, but I don’t really like swimming. It’s boring! We do lots of sports after school in Canada. I live in Calgary and it’s very cold in winter, so we do lots of winter sports like ice hockey, snowboarding and skiing. It always snows a lot in winter and I go skiing every weekend. It’s great fun! I play ice hockey for my town, in the under 14s team. Last week I scored a goal! Write soon and tell me about sports in Australia. Brett
