Dear Brett
Thanks for your email. You do lots of sports at school in Canada. I’d love to play ice
hockey one day.
We do lots of sports at our school too. We’ve got a swimming pool at school and our
class go swimming every Wednesday. We also play tennis, volleyball and football,
but football in Australia is different to soccer. You can touch the ball with your
hands! There are lots of after-school sports clubs in Australia too. I go to a surfing
club after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We go to the beach and learn how to
surf. It’s great fun! Can you surf in your country?
