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 anything 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 mud, but I 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 for the team They need to get rid of two more players, and I think that I am better than they are You know how badly I 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.
