Unit 9, Lesson 7, Ex. 1b

Sue: Hi, Nick. It’s me, Sue. You asked me about our hobbies and interests in your letter.

Well, we love lots of things.

My eldest brother Jim is interested in American football. He knows everything about the game and he can play it very well. He’s very good at it. We often go to see him play. That’s him in the photo holding a strange ball.

My second brother, Harry likes American football too, but he can’t play it very well. He’s a great baseball player. Have you ever heard of baseball? It’s an American game. It’s popular in my country. Harry is very good at it. He’s one of the best baseball players in our town. You can see him in one of the photos: he’s the first on the right.

My third brother, Mike, is not very good at sports. He likes playing on the computer and watching TV. He’s very good at it. Sometimes he plays a little basketball. You can’t see him in the photo. It’s his favourite team playing.

Can you see me in one of the photos? Mike took the photo. I’ve just taken up cycling, you know. I’m not very good at it, because I’m only learning. Can you ride your bike well?
