    Mr Liu is his Chinese teacher. He is helpful.

    Do you know there are two kinds of football games? One is American football(橄榄球)，and the other is soccer. In China many young men like playing soccer. It is very popular. But the Chinese don't call it soccer. They call it football. There are eleven players in each team. And the ball is round. Only the goalkeeper(守门员)can touch the ball with his hands. Other players can't touch the ball with their hands.

    In America, soccer is not very popular. They like playing American football. It is very different. The ball is not round. It is like a big egg. There are also eleven players in each team. All the players can touch the ball with both feet and hands.

    My name is Tommy. My favourite sport is basketball because it is very exciting. I like basketball because the NBA stars play very well. Basketball is very cheap and it is a good sport for our health. We can grow taller if we play basketball often. I play basketball three times a week. I often play it with my friends or I may play it myself. I feel very happy when I play basketball at school with my classmates. Sometimes I play basketball in the playground near my home. Basketball is very easy to play.

Dear Sir,

    I hope I can get the job.

ours,

Tom
