You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend, Duncan. *Last winter I had my first snowboarding experience. It was not easy, but I'm not going to give up. I think snowboarding will be my favourite sport next winter...* **What do you usually do at weekends in winter?** **Which is the best sport for a teenager to take up and why?** **What hobby do you think you might like to try in the future, and why do you think so?** *...100–120 words...*

In winter, I usually enjoy spending my weekends outdoors, especially when there's snow. I love skiing, as it’s a great way to stay active and enjoy nature. Sometimes, I also like to go ice skating with friends or just relax indoors with a good book or movie.

I think the best sport for a teenager to take up is swimming. It’s a full-body workout, great for building strength and endurance, and it’s suitable for people of all fitness levels. Plus, it’s a fun way to stay healthy and make new friends.

In the future, I’d like to try rock climbing. It seems like an exciting and challenging activity that would push me to be more adventurous and improve my problem-solving skills.
