Dear Paul,
Last Tuesday our school team went to the new sports centre, and it was huge! My brother spent all afternoon basketball in the big hall, but I sat in the field and ate my lunch. I am wearing the beautiful red shirt which you me for my birthday, and it fits me well, so thank you! I love going this sports centre because I do not have to bring my own ball – the people who work here give us everything. Tomorrow morning we are going to play a baseball game. I hope will go well. All my friends want to play in this game too. We will stay here two more hours. See you soon!
Your friend,
George.
