Dear Rob Great to hear from you！ Let me tell you about sports at school in Canada. At school we play a lot of team sports like soccer，baseball and basketball. My favorite 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
