Dear Steve,
I was very glad to hear from you again. I haven't written for ages because of my school activities.
In your letter you ask me to tell you about my favorite kind of sports. With a pleasure.
I like sport. It plays a great role in my activities. Most of all I like to play basketball. I am a very good player and often take part in different sport competitions. Sometimes we win them but sometimes we lose. Basketball is a team game. It is played in any season because you play this game is indoors game. It is played in a gym. But sometimes you can see streetball - basketball in an open air. There are two baskets in this exciting game and only one orange ball. Players must throwthe ballto the basket andgetto it to score a goal. There are two teams with only five players.
Many people keen in sport because it makes us healthy and help us to be fit. During you play any sport game you are active and it helps you to burn many calories. Basketball is an active game. It makes people be strong, healthy and energetic. It is a game for everybody even for disabled people.
To my mind any sport is risky and dangerous. Basketball is risky too because every minute you can break your arm or leg or get another problem with your health.
I like playing basketball most of all. And I am a basketball fan too. I enjoy watching matches on TV and at the gym. I have been to the gym twice. It was great.
And what about you? Tell me about your favorite kind of sports.
That's for me today. I have to go to the shop for some food.
Best regards to your family.
Write soon.
