Dear Ann,
Thanks a lot for your email! It was great to hear from you.
You asked me about sports. Well, I'm really fond of swimming. I go to the swimming pool three times a week. It's very refreshing and keeps me in good shape.
As for sport competitions in our school, we usually have volleyball, basketball, and football tournaments. In winter, we also organize ski races, which are very popular.
I take part in swimming competitions every year, and sometimes I play volleyball for our class team. It's always a lot of fun!
I have to go now. Write back soon!
Best wishes,
Your Russian friend
