| Questions 8 through 11 refer to the following letter. Hi George.
How are you doing? Sorry I haven't written lately. I keep meaning to. but then I get too busy. I've had no available time at all recently. Soccer try-outs have been keeping me pretty busy. I've had no time to do any thing except practice. practice, practice all day long. The weather is a little rainy and it keeps the grass wet. That makes it very difficult to run and stop well. A lot of the players get their soccer boots stuck in the mud. I'd really like to get another pair of soccer boots because mine are ruined from the mad. but 9 don‘t have any money at the moment. I wanted to get a part-time job to make some money to buy boots. but I don 't have the time. So for now. a new pair of boots is just a dream. I think I have a good chance of being selected [or the team. They need to get rid of two more players, and 9 think that 9 am better than they are. you know how badly 9 have always wanted to play professional soccer. If I get chosen for the team. I‘ll send you free tickets to every game I play! Well, gotta go practice some more.
Your brother, Bill. |
