A Letter About Sports in England
Dear Lena,
I greatly enjoyed your letter in which you told me about sports in your town. I shall try to tell you now about the games we play in England.
First of all, I must tell you that football is played in England in winter, and not in summer. Football is the most popular game in England, because England is the home of football. Schools and towns have football teams, and of сourse the English team is well known in the world.
We do not play ice hockey much in England, because the winter is not very cold. But we play hockey on grass.
There are men’s teams and women’s, and many schools have teams too. Other games which we play in England are tennis, basket-ball and volleyball.
We have gymnastics every week in our school gymnasium. We run and jump and play basket-ball, volley-ball and other games. In summer we have gymnastics in the playground.
Well, I shall end my letter for today.
I wish you all the best and hope to receive another letter from you soon.
Your English friend,
Mary Smith
