Dear Anna,

How are you? I'm fine. I am very busy lately with school and my hobbies. I have basketball practice twice a week - every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I play basketball quite well. Each practice takes me two hours and then I go home and do my homework. Every Friday, we have a Maths quiz (a short exam), so I have to work extra hard on school work after my Thursday's basketball practice. I’m quite good at Maths, but it’s still very tiring. I often have to take a cold shower so that I can concentrate on my school work.

Also, every Saturday morning I enjoy running around the park. I like taking my dog, Jimmy, with me. We like running quickly together. On Saturday evenings, I watch football games on television. My father often watches the games too, but he can’t always do that. He sometimes doesn’t come home from work on time. My mother can watch with us, but she doesn't like football so much. She enjoys painting pictures. She can paint very well. My sister goes riding on Sunday mornings. Her horse is called Johnny. He is a little slow because he is old. But when he was young he was very quick.

Well, I have to run. I still have homework to do and I can't do it if I go on writing to you, which I like doing.

Yours,

Diana

How well does Diana play this sport?

Read the passage and decide each sentence is True or False.

Hi! My name is Steve. I'm 10 years old and I live in Bristol, in the UK, with my parents and my siblings, Paul and Lucy. I am a dynamic boy. I ride to school. I like doing sports. We train after school and play matches against other schools every week. Playing basketball is my favourite sport. I'm an excellent swimmer, but I don't go much. I don't like water sports. It is too cold in winter.

In my free time, I play computer games, collect stamps or read books. My favourite one is playing computer games. But all teachers at school say "reading is fundamental", so I must read much more.

On the weekends, I usually go camping with my parents and my siblings. When my parents go trekking, my siblings, other children and I usually play tag or leapfrog. My favourite game is playing leapfrog. Camping is very enjoyable and fun. We set fire and sing songs. Lucy sings and Paul plays the guitar. Music is their common hobby.
